Well, if you equate "a predictable response from the same gaggle of
familiar names" with being a lynch mob. To me the term "lynch mob"
implies a group conspiring to destroy their victim, and I haven't seen
that, or anything close, here.

You are being a little *literal* here - in this context the 'lynch mob'
seeks only to destroy the victim's reputation and/or possibly their
future
trading prospects.

I wasn't being that literal! I'm more than happy to include destroying
someone's reputation or trading prospects within the phrase "destroy their
victim". But I stand by what I said, I haven't noticed a "lynch mob" on
this
ng.

I have made my own views clear, but I always think there's more than a
little hint of jealousy involved when the 'snake oil squealers' see how
easily their 'target' can shake silly big money out of minted idiots'
pockets!

So are you suggesting that we should all keep our views about snake oil
products quiet because saying what we think might damage the snake-oil
merchant's reputation or trading prospects? really? I didn't know you
cared
about the Russ Andrews of the world so much! I can't say I'd lose any
sleep
if any of them went out of business, though I seriously doubt that
comments
made on ura would ever make any noticeable dent in their profits.

Same thing with Bill Gates - even my sister in law's American husband
hates him and to my knowledge they've never met!

You mean that they are both Americans, yet have never met? Amazing, and in
such a small country too! ;-)

Actually I have quite a bit more time for Bill Gates than I do the Russ
Andrews of this world.


I sincerely doubt either of them would give a **** if they knew, but I love
the way you start a new thread with your reply to my post - real creepy
that!
