And one would require an electron microscope to examine the
contributions that you have made. Other than ingorant self righteous
moralizing, what have you EVER contributed?

LOL Do you even know what narcissism is? If not, look in the mirror.

It is a real mistake to confuse criticism and critique with demeaning
and discouraging.

Just because there are ideas about how to do things differently (better
and more succesfully perhaps) doesn't mean that anyone is trying to
work against the cause.

See that is one of your (many) main points of confusion.

Critique is a POSITIVE thing.

"Our critics are our friends. They show us our faults." -- Benjamin
Franklin

But your insistence on self aggrandizement and self congratulations
which are functions of EGO stand in the way of soliciting ideas which
might actually help. EGO EGO EGO

You want to hear ONLY what you want to hear. You cannot accept
criticism for what its worth. THus you are doomed to repeat mistakes
rather than learn. You are doomed to insular thinking, incestous
thinking, and the resulting ideas are born with birth defects.

And YES I am trying to discourage the current form of Lyme activism
because it is damaging destructive driven by anger rather than thought,
it is unsuccesful and doomed to remain so, it has consistently made
things WORSE not better.

So yeah I am AGAINST it.

> because they,
> especially Kathleen, are getting close to the ugly truth.

The ugly truth is that kathleen was (and probably still is) a terribly
profoundly mentally ill person whose ideas about RICO conspiracies were
off base legally and factually and were born not of knowledge or
rational thought but of her mental illness.

ALL OF YOU should be ASHAMED for having encouraged and enabled her.

Your inability to recognize it for what it is, even now, is astounding!

Bottom line: She wasn't honest with you either. And her case wasn't
about Lyme. It was about her mental illness. Her children weren't a
Lyme cause, she isn't a Lyme martyr. And it isn't clear that her mental
illness even had anything to do with Lyme disease if she even had Lyme
since she admitted to having been mentally ill for DECADES, since her
teens or early 20s.

Doesn't it bother you that she LIED and didn't say her hearing was
about criminal charges?

You are a lost cause.

I really think that as much as she needed serious psychiatric help, you
do too! Look she was mentally ill and really almost certainly not
responsible for her actions. But you? Well you're ignorant and self
righteous (a really bad combination, ignorant AND arrogant) but sane
enough to be responsible for your actions which amount to cruelty.
Kathleen tried to use you but you're trying to use her.

Close to the ugly truth?

That's the ugly truth. The ugly truth is kathleen's mug shot. It is her
psychiatric history. It is the truth of the charges AGAINST her. It is
her cruelty towards her children, her attempts to poison them against
their father and family members. The ugly truth is that you're a self
righteous moron.

> Seat at the Table, we want a seat at the table. Gee, how profound.

Look I NEVER said "Seat at the table." Personally I think a seat at the
table means NOTHING. I think it is an easy way to be coopted, just like
we were with our "seats at the table: with the NIH and the Klempner
study.

Thanks again Phyllis!
