This is what a_weisman@hotmail.com asked for...

 
The rumors and unproven accusations were perpetuated under another
thread, "ILADS Charging for Guidelines?" which was at least 20 posts
long and began 1/30/04 by non-other than a_weisman@hotmail.com. Also
I would like to clear up the attempted rumor that I am spamming the
group and advertising the guidelines. I have not any affiliation with
ILADS and would do the same regarding disinformation had it involved
any other organization I am interested in.
 
Looking at that thread, I quickly find:
 
> these relatively wealthy doctors also hit their patients up for
> contributions to support a defense fund --and then when they
have
> guidelines, which are public in every other disease (even Lyme),
and
> which they have produced on the BACKS of these patients, many of
them
> sick, disabled, and broke, they deem it appropriate to charge
money.
 
In the words of a_weisman:
"Even worse and more outrageous. The preparation of the new ILADS
guidelines were supported by the LDA of New Jersey which is a non
profit organization supported entirely by funds donated and raised by
Lyme patients."
 
a_weisman thinks it is outrageous for LDA to support ILADS and assume
that they are entirely supported by Lyme patients. He doesn't really
know who is supporting them. And it's their business who they entrust
their gifts of money to.

One more quote:
"Doctors. They're really not all that smart in general. And really
lacking in common sense."
 
(I guess he's entitled to express his own opinion.)

a.m., "Re: ILIADS Charging for Guidelines?", the one who started this
thread with these negative, unfounded assumptions and judgments:
 
      "This is just about the stupidest thing they could do.
 
      They represent a small minority of doctors. A tiny minority
viewpoint.
      Probably less than 1%
 
      They are trying to convince others that they are right and the
      recognized experts are wrong."
      
      They should be trying to disseminate this information as widely
as
      possible and making their guidelines as widely available as
possible.
 
      Instead they are charging a fee?
 
      That only creates an obstacle to the dissemination of this
      information.
 
      this is outrageously stupid.
 
      I think ILADS stands for International Lame Addlebrained Doctors
of
      Stupidity"
 
The last sentence of the last post in this thread is: "Yeah what
crap."
 
Such profound "positive" words from this "a_weisman".
 
If this was a propaganda blitz, it most likely would have been done
the cheapest way possible. But apparently that is not the case.
 
This all is from one thread, ILADS Charging for Guidelines?"
 
Then in a thread I start in order to provide information I've
collected from the website, we again find an astounding statement
from a_weisman:
 
"> > > ILADS is a joke. A laughingstock. And deservedly so."
 
I respect the right for this person to exercise freedom of speech, but
it is clear that this statement is judgmenta, negative and
unsubstantiated.
