Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Personal insults are never ok. So if Marty personally insulted anyone I am sure he would apologize. My comments go to whether he is a mole or was simply expressing his personal opinions.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 , Not a problem. I respect that you are forthright. I just don't want this to become a sideshow feud. I truly think that and Marty are, for the most part, on the same side.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thank you Bob. And thank you Marty for not standing in the way of those of us who believe that our children's autism was caused from vaccines and their components.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I would also recommend that have your New York DAN Dr run the lab corp porphyrin test since we have an insurance bill in New York thanks to the help of people like Marty. It is covered by insurance and it is now up to the (DAN)doctors to step up, code it, and file the claim (not the parents.) Marty, Thanks for your hard work, insight and effort in helping pass a very difficult piece of legislation. > > > > > > > > Just curious as to who you are Marty?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 , I don't think they are trying to silence you as much as they are trying to gain your support again. They figure if they give you the books, you might support them again n their walk. Why not write right back and lay the cards on the table? The copy of the e-mail, the prior failed response to you, the way AS is hurting local kids.... I can't tell you what to do about the books. That is ultimately your call. I understand the moral stand you are taking as I think all of us would feel exactly the same way. On the other hand, you need those books and it would benefit the kids.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 To suggest that NAAR is no more is a wee bit incorrect. The artists formerly known as NAAR are currently known as the Autism Speaks Foundation. Here's a thought for federal investigators to ponder... whenever people click on the web sites hosting IRS 990 tax forms it quietly provides tracking information. So even if the web site is not set up to directly tip off the NPO sharks that someone is poking around their stash, using a variety of intrusive immoral procedures like breeching the privacy of a home computer an NPO shark can know solidly that they are about to become the object of intense scrutiny. Knowing this, or course, might make some NPO sharks nervous and they might start jockeying around with people's heads just a bit. > > > > > > > > Just curious as to who you are Marty?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well said, Bob. I agree. I have remained quiet while reading this strand (except to reply to 's original post) but I have to chime in, now. I, also, respect Marty for all he does for our kids. Thanks, Marty. I also respect all does for our kids, particularly in that she is local for me and for kids in my area. Thanks to you, too, . I give them both my respect and thanks as I do for any and all who fight for our kids, no matter what their belief as long as they are ultimately helping. As far as the testing goes, I agree with Bob that all parents should probably have this test done. But, I also agree that some kids have disablities that have nothing to do with mercury at all. Let us all try to remember that some parents are in this boat for other reasons. I don't know Marty's personal situation with his child. Neither do most here. Perhaps giving him the information on the test is the right thing to do, but he may have reasons that we are not aware of that causes his own personal resistance, also. Either way, I wish him and everyone well. Col > > > > > > > > Just curious as to who you are Marty?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 While not inclined to kiss butt, I trust Mike when he makes good points about Marty's contributions to getting kids much-needed insurance in New York. it's an important bill. Not all of us can be champions on all fronts that are important to our children. Fortunately, where Marty's knowledge of causation may not match ours...

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 , your whit is just too much for me. But don't stop on my account. You are free to express your point of view endlessly if you so desire. I still have no idea what you are talking about with my scoop. I told you how I knew the name of the company and did not give it a second though and had no Idea that it was such a secret. In any event, when you said "you will find me", I was being facetious about the word "threat". Heck, if you want my address just ask.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thanks you for those comments and I agree. We all have similar interests but many of our situations are different. Respect and tolerance for different points of view is what will help everyone get to where we all want in the end. Even people who see certain situations differently can in fact work together for a common cause. Autism United is a good example of that concept and something I support.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 JB, I hardly think this is kissing ass. In fact many have clearly stated that do not agree with my opinion and that is fine. Personally I believe enough has been said on this subject and it may just be best to agree to disagree on certain things. Marty> > > > > >> > > > > > Just curious as to who you are Marty?

Me thinks thou doth protest too much. #3 -- I didn't say " I WILL FIND YOU. " I said, I will find out if you work there. Again, drama.
