Re: Diversion tactics

I remain unconcerned. Intimidate away, it is what you try to do best.

Unfortunately, in the legal arena, words are often re-defined for purposes
of litigation. Again, I said, I like juries....

I bear some resentment toward the landlords that poisoned me and failed to
disclose defects in the places they put out to lease despite my informing
them of my health issues. Would a mother have some remaining ire against
someone who promulgated a paper based on a single rodent study and testified
as an expert using that same paper, despite having no clinical experience,
that was used in an unsuccessful attempt to deny a claim made by said
mother; a reasonable person might? I believe a decent, reasonable person
might try to warn an unsuspecting public of a grave and imminent danger
being perpetrated upon them. I believe Sharon Kramer is a decent, reasonable
person; I fail to hold her detractor in a similar light.

What this man did, he did for hire. And the conclusion he reached is suspect
by many, including real doctors and researchers.
