Subject: RE: BS: Science and New Age: Bridging the chasm
I haven't read this thread much past 100 posts because it has entered the zone that GUEST OohAhh described perfectly--the emotional blackmail phase (you wanna meet my doctor? I dare you to prove my individual facts wrong!).

Idio--one's own: personal: separate: distinct.

Idiopathic, as in the definition posted above, in this usage implies that the cure is peculiar to the individual. That something in their own character or metabolism (reason not necessarily known) allowed them to recover.

When I am being argumentative; you will know (an example was the other thread where I called you "intelectually dishonest").
Name calling always gets you a lot of mileage, doesn't it, Two Bears? You're always argumentative, and I always know it. Your arguments also always bring the discussion to the lowest common denominator, and they stop being productive when that happens.
