I’ll ditto what Atreyu said- and that’s a great example of the kind of misinformation he has spread for years here. Good riddence.
On a board thats purpose is fighting ignorance, handy, was here spreading it.
No wonder it’s taking longer than we thought.
He has no one to fault but himself.
Wait, so Is He Banned for talking about doctorism while not being a doctor? Do I have to Be a Doctor to talk about Doctorstuff?
Despite this migraine that is gradually appearing, I believe the general answer is ‘yes’.
Well, even after I did attempt to defend handy somewhat in the other thread today on him, I have to say I support the SDMB Staff and Lynn entirely. But I am very disappointed nonetheless over him being gone.
No, but it’s possible to be ostricized for having a username that fucks with the table width.
On topic–I’m a little sad, but I do understand.
SO I Will not talk of Doctoring Things. I Thank YOU, Joe k, you are COOL!!! 
Sigh. Well, the mods know best, of course, but I can’t help feeling this place won’t be the same again.
Heh. Just to put it into the record, my warning to handy last year:
And prior to that:
And prior to that:
All emphases in original.
Handy was warned repeated about posting incorrect and unsound medical advice. His tendency to refuse to admit he was incorrect, despite being confronted by both medical professionals and legitimate cites was a big strike against him to many (myself included).
Now go shorten your username!
I think Lynn took care of that.
Thanks Manny, that makes it a bit easier.
Thanks Manny, that makes things a bit easier.
I’ll miss him in the same sense that Dana Carvey must have missed George H. W. Bush.
I got a warning, how do I know if it is “formal” ?
It’ll be in black tie and tails.
If a mod warns you, it’s probably best to take it as a formal warning.
Might I just add that anyone who would act on advice given by an anonymous username regarding anything of significance (my health, my finances, my legal affairs) without consulting a real, live professional, is an idjit.
Well include me in that minority. I know he was worned many many times about posting medical advice BUT his post was not medical in nature, more like just posting common knowleage. It looks like more you were looking for a reason to ban him, rather then catch him on something unquestionably medical.
Just my humble O
Oh hey, manny, no gripe from me at all on the banning. I just like a good irony.
