This is outright defamation that I expect an immedate
and outright retraction for.  As Kurt is well aware, I got out
and try to DISCOVER evidence.  This article essentially calls me
a fraudulent scientist, and I am done with all of Kurt's defamation
and deliberate insult.

Somebody's sick?  That's evidence.  It's a shame that you're
not supporting your own hypothesis here, Kurt.  Try being 
consistant for a change. Do they get better?  That's
evidence?  If they don't, that's evidence that you didn't
do the right thing.  Lots of evidence involved. What's
your problem here?

Sickness isn't evidence?  It's measurable (even things like
hyperacusis and primary cyclic depression are chemically
measurable at some level, although *not* in a useful
or safe clinical sense).  It's (quite unfortunately) repeatable
across the population.  What's your problem, Kurt?  Forget
your logic in your rush to curse all us damned scientists to
your own luddite world.

>Rot in hell when you finally get it, too. 

What Hell?  Prove that Hell exists, Kurt, and explain why
I should accept your proof.

>I guess you must have evidence that walking is possible before you tried it.  

Yep. I saw my parents do it all the time.   So did you, unless you're
a blind person. Even blind people have described to them and experience
the effects, so anyone with any senses at all, with the possible
exception of taste and smell, have proof of locomotion of some sort.

>Don't figure anything might be possible or that's your idea of blind faith. 

No, that's not true, it constitutes defamation and personal attack,
and I expect you to retract it absoultely and without delay.  
Your claim here constitutes a direct accusation that I am a
fraud as a scientist.  As you are making such a claim, I'm now
calling on you to either substantiate your claim, or to retract it
without qualification and with all possible haste.  I'm sick of this,
and I'm getting tired of having to fool around being nice to you.

>Losers.
That's also a judgement that you'll have to back up or retract.
Do one or the other, and do it now.
