Thank you for being there.

Good post. Name calling and innuendoes do nothing

as far as adding knowledge to the subject of PCa.

BTW: I believe the word is "megalomanic", Hi. (In any case, I learned

the meaning of a new word).

I do not want the personal naming of Drs and professionals on the group.Terms

like "many of the experts do not agree" are fine. However "Dr X is a pompous

oaf" doesn't fit with the group philosophy. I

do not want to be a meglamanic group owner - just to see pleasantly worded

e-mails where differences can be debated happily.There

are some things that will never be agreed on, that is no reason to stop

debating them - but people must debate them in a "kindly" fashion - PLEASE!This

is not a ban on debate it is a request for etiquette.

Thanks

I have had similar personal posts and a phone call in the same vein.

This naming of doctors ban is only in respect to naming and shaming, factual good stuff is OK. but thsi is not the place to flame professionals - although we all want to do it from time to time.

This proves we are all human and can loose spelling/typing ability when thinking too much about the subject matter!

Thanks for your response and PLEASE understand I

was not trying to ne a Smart Ass. I love to learn the meanings of words

that I may have never bothered to worry about in my younger days, if you

know what I mean. Thanks again,
