Likewise, she drove a few posters "round the bend" as well, with her threats and trying to be administrator/moderator because of an insatiable desire to be an "expert" on the topics she posted on, and no tolerance if anyone questioned that "expertise". A lot of similarities to where this thread has went.

One can expect to be criticized or at least questioned no matter how great their qualifications are, on this board, or any other, as far as that goes. Besides, what evidence do we have of these qualifications, other than the poster's say so.

Links to supporting arguments and data to support one's position are not infallible.

I wonder if the "gang of 25" is supposed to be in lock step, and if so, then I see a lot of internecine squabbles on this board. Very Happy

Or just join Chapala.com. A match made in heaven!

I was responding to the topic posted. I like this forum better. I believe Bob and co are looking for members opinions in order to find a balance between tob and be a more relaxed forum without the angry asylum gone wild effect.

When Mike the other Dr. was unjustifiably crucified for his beliefs.

If I am not mistaken, the criticism of the "Dr Mike" which I was the ring leader proved itself out over time. I believe he was exposed as being a phony and not a real doctor.

The other spats may also do the same. The doctorcito at CR for some unknown reason choose to withhold details of his qualifications and I actually nailed that one on the head, he's basically a novice general MD that is probably over his head in his present position. The vende pleitos was criticized for his stance on the use of bribery and I was far from alone on that one.

IMO, you didn't "prove" anything about Dr. Mike.

by seisdedos Wed May 08, 2013 4:25 pm

You refer to him as Dr. Mike. Is he a real doctor?

He said he is. I haven't seen his diploma. Why would I? As far as that goes, nobody on this or any other web board has provided credentials to prove any of their claims, so you are what you say you are until someone digs up irrefutable facts to prove you a liar. Even then, the "fact" digger could be lying. Point being that the internet world is no place to look for "truth in advertising". We just don't know who's telling the truth. For all I know, you could be a 13 year old chica. For all you know, I'm an grizzled ex-con looking for a new scam.

We never did get our AMA (Asshole of the Month Award) program started.

Perhaps espíritu del lago can put forth our first nominee?

Solo/ Seis hasn't proved he is a real person either!

And neither has Hernan Santiago, which seems to be a play on the name of the Dr. Santiago Hernandez, who posts on this board. Strange that an excellent English speaker would, trying to hide their identity, pull that name out of the hat.

Seis is real and not that far away from you all.

by Jim W Wed May 08, 2013 7:52 pm

So now the truth is known, Spencer and Seis, spinning us up defending Spencer or siding with Solo........kinda sucks, what are you kicking back to Solo, Spencer?

So sad so bad, Hopefully there is still a santa?

Seis is a seeker of truth, a fair endeavor in my book. If he/she causes you to squirm, well. . .

OK a fair endeavor...When someones medical qualifications are questioned in Mexico what are they able to show?

by RoofBob Wed May 08, 2013 9:29 pm

While Seis can chaf even the most seasoned cowboy he is right more often than not. Switching to a baseball metaphor, his batting average is 750+. Did I say I liked his style? No, but in this land of shysters I appreciate having a pit bull at the front door.

by Trailrunner Wed May 08, 2013 9:35 pm

Me too. Well said, RB.

by ferret Wed May 08, 2013 10:30 pm

LOL! Sorry...I'm laughing at Seis being compared to a pitbull seein' as how he's not too fond of the breed. Maybe a terrier? They don't give up easily either.
Slainte39, you are correct. Nobody, in this land of virtual reality, knows everybody. But, for the record, I have shown my creds to Mike (Helperguy) because he's been here two weeks in a row and will be here again on Monday to pick up my sick laptop. I am also prepared to show them to Gringal, Trailrunner and Spencer because I know them all and they know me. There's not much point showing them to E-raq since she doesn't post here any more...but I can. That's five people...enough for ya?
If backing up statements by using articles from Medical Journals doesn't wash with you then I don't know what will.
I was always interested in Dr. Mike's alternative medicine point of view. I didn't always agree with it but it made me think and usually sent me scurrying for more information.
We all used to have a "real" life with "real" qualifications in the "real" world. Some of us were very proud of it and it's a low blow and mud slinging to have that challenged instead of dealing with the actual issue of disagreement in question.
