Questionable N00b sticking up for questionable n00b. This should be interesting. REALLY interesting…
We are the Illuminati, you are fucked. We rule the world. Fnord.
Anecdote means it worked for me
Evidence means it worked for others
If the cure came from the placebo effect due to a copper bracelet for the individual it worked for them and that’s really all there is to it.
Does it work for you - regardless of if it works for others.
Anecdote is more important to the life of the individual then evidence.
Or not. This isn’t basic math - a negative times a negative doesn’t equal a positive.
Unless you are testing for nutballism. Then it would.
Wrong. It means (just like you always present) I’m convinced it works for me whether I know or not if it actually works. You don’t care if it works. I do. Convince me, or GTFO. As you present, it also means “without any evidence at all”. You have not ever presented any evidence to the claims you make. Why should I believe you? “IMHO” is the forum. I’ll just leave that dog-shit there on the floor.
I love it when a spammer forgets to put in a link.
This may be In My Humble Opinion, but you are absolutely, without a smidgen of a doubt, 100% wrong. If you don’t wish to speak the same language as the rest of the English speaking world and adhere to the common definitions the rest of us use when speaking said English language, then you will not be taken seriously.
With a name like nonimahony I would have assumed something about miraculous noni juice.
I give the OP points, at least, for trying to sell a measley $5 copper bracelet. When the fad was at its height, people were selling $500 copper bracelets.
Not too long ago, I bumped into someone who was doing the local front-work – focus group sales pitches – for the “eye exercise” cure for myopia. No need for glasses or contacts: just roll your eyes the right way and your eye muscles will be strengthened.
Yeah. :rolleyes:
Wouldn’t it be funny if there actually was a cite that wearing a copper bracelet could cause some relief?
I’m not claiming it’s science. I’m not claiming it works. But some people think it does.
You don’t actually consider that at all credible, do you??
I have no idea. I really don’t care. My point is that when 1 person claims something worked for them, I’m not going to call them a liar. If they claim it will work for everyone, I’ll reconsider.
And there is the difference between us-some of us do care…and that’s why we’re here. There are an untold number of boards where people just don’t care if what they support is bullshit or not, and hopefully this isn’t one of them.
I call shenanigans…Urban Dictionary: call shenanigans… just sayin…
When one person claims that something worked for him or her (not them) I call it an anecdotal piece of evidence.
Liar? Possibly not, but certainly not worthy of scientific merit. How difficult is this to comprehend?
Noobs can be a good thing. They sometimes breathe fresh life into message boards such as this one.
And I don’t believe Nonimahoney was promoting copper bracelets or anything else. I think she was just sharing her experience.
I guess I could be wrong, though. After all, I am a Noob.
We’re watching you.
But really, the OP looks like a drive by spammer. One ill-informed post.
I think she’s a True Believer. Spammers very rarely fill out such a complete profile and even then, it’s clearly a bot or human who doesn’t speak English.
She claimed it worked for her. Would she be in a better position to make that claim than you are to deny it? In my humble opinion, your comments in post #2 were akin to a gunslinger shooting someone before they had an opportunity to clarify, or explain their position. When someone is new, they probably read the first response to their thread and when it’s like post #2, they run for the hills. I wonder what would have happened if that post had invited a further discussion instead of killing it?
Or it could be a spammer testing the waters to see if others would bite, giving out links later on. “Copper-it does work for chronic pain! I am living proof!” is not something you would expect to see from someone who thinks that the copper bracelet may play a part in the lessening of pain. That’s looks like the headline of a large advertisement to me.
I backed up my side with double-blind studies, so it isn’t just my word against hers no matter how many times you try to spin it that way.
