Yes "negative" means disagreeing with "the pat" "the phyllis" or the
other "wonderful" Lyme "activists" and "leaders."

They really are a bunch of bullies, which is the first thing they
accuse others of.

They PRETEND to huggy huggy sweetness and light but they're the first
ones to cast stones at others.

How very LymeNUT of them.

What a blatant lie by Phyllis--she's "not insinuating anything."

She must think that the rest of us are as stupid as she is.

Well Fallon is a stand up guy with integrity.

Obviously these folks lack the same character.

They're all about themselves not others. It doesn't matter that they
pretend to be working for others. They have their own agendas which
primarily involve self aggrandizement and self promotion rather than
the cause they've chosen to hitch their wagons to.

I'm relatively neutral on this doctor. Treats aggressively, yes.
Charges aggressively too. Sells her own products to her patients. I
don't think patients get a break financially. Not rumored to have a
great bedside manner.

I do admire the forthrightness about the charges, which is a big
improvement over many others, such as some of the NYStaters.

But I am totally opposed to the legal defense fund nonsense.

Well for sure they cannot DARE to question "the pat."

She doesn't care what happened to the $$$ (though I did get a sense

None. Phyllis here's yet another reason that YOU'RE FIRED!

I will say this much for you--you are consistent in your total
incompetence.

Speaking of

LA provided a newsletter FREE OF CHARGE to people Phyllis--which served
people who weren't on the internet. AND they posted content on the
internet.

Your group? Has always charged for providing OLD NEWS BELATEDLY and
until recently put ZERO content on the net, and even now has limited
content only.

LA was non political for the most part, they generously provided
information and support and rather than charging subscriptions relied
on donations.

You should be ASHAMED to DARE to question them. They did good for
good's sake!

They NEVER made a huge mess like you and CALDA and LDA have time after
time.

Phyllis YOU SUCK!

> And call it negative, mervine, call it anything you want.

LOL

Notice how Phyllis pretends to stick to the high road but she sure does
take her shots. Always in a cowardly backstabbing backbiting way. Yeah
she's sweetness and light. LOL

She NEVER "attacked" the LDA.

She DISAGREED with "the pat" about legislation. Go figure.

For that "crime" she has been banished and no one in the lda kingdom is
permitted to speak her name lest they be banished too.

> That would be interesting to know. Did she dare question or critique
LDA?

Yup.

She committed the "crime" of dissent.

> Gee I can't imagine why. Was she upset about that paid lobbyist - you
know
> that LDF/LDA big fight thing years ago or was it something else?

Yes another good example of LDA violating their fiduciary duty with
respect to donated money. They took the money of Lyme patients and used
it to sabotage the (rotten terrible) LDF bill in favor of their own
(even worse) bill in a famous scorched earth strategy. In other words
they worked against other Lyme patients for the sake of ego and self
aggrandizement.

Of course neither bill was worthy of support but that wasn't the point.
The point was that if "the karen" was for it' "the pat" was against it
and vice versa.

In the meantime political and actual capital was wasted, our
credibility was further damaged and lots of energy time and resources
were wasted in what amounted to a mindless war of egos in what was
truly a less than zero sum game.

Like two children fighting over a flea infested teddy bear.

It was other legislation that fein dared disagree about.

Pariah. Banished.

Yup and they've effectively set us all back and turned MANY people off
to the whole cause.

Right no LDA support at least. She does claim to have raised $25 K
though I hear it was from one wealthy patient primarily.
