Subject: Chung's real goal: take over the newsgroup so he can preach
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:40:53 -0800

Chung's real goal is to take over the newsgroup so he can preach his
religious fanaticism. It is not about cardiology. He has admitted that
discussing religion is the real reason he is here.

He will go to some lengths to drive out other, more sane, doctors who
might help people. We have just seen samples of this recently. Check
his past postings where he attacks other doctors.

He does not want ANYONE who might disagree with him in any way. ANY
disagreement is met with an immediate attack. When he can't back up
his argument, which happens often, he reverts to religion, usually
starting with his antichristian rant or "I know the truth". He cannot
admit to anything that differs even slightly from his views.
Religious fanaticism at its best.

By driving out other doctors, he will then try to "look good" by being
the only one posting answers here. Unless, of course, the person
asking the question is antichristian, in which case they will be
attacked.

It is pointless to try to reason with a religious fanatic. All it does
is give him an excuse to go on and on about off topic religion in a
cardiology group. That's why he is here.

It will not do much good to try not to "feed the religion troll"
because he will force the introduction of religion into the
discussion. Religion is why he posts.

Preaching religion is everything to him. Making this group as useful
as possible to ALL people is the LAST thing he wants. This is quite
obvious from his posts.
