[QUOTE=John Mace] No. You made the crackpot assertion that a person can forego a crticial medical check-up if that person eats “healthy” food. That’s not only factually incorrect, it’s dangerous. You are an idiot. [/QUOTE] You said this, I didn’t. ---

[QUOTE=Crotalus] You’re a troll, and, I suspect, a sock as well. Your style is disturbingly familiar to me. [/QUOTE] Let me guess: **drmark2000** , right? He’s got that same blend of total incompetence at debate coupled with a wholly unearned arrogance. “I won’t give you a cite because you all know what I’m saying is true! You just don’t have the balls to admit it!” is pretty classic **drmark** material. At least now he’s downgraded from bragging about his fictional PhD to bragging about his fictional bachelors. But hey, at least **Aeschines** has his little friend back. For know, at least. ---

[QUOTE=Nothing Special] Of whom, may I ask, that I may search for this person and see what he (or she) had to say? Will you help me out with that? [/QUOTE] Sure. I’ll trade you one hint from me for one citation from you for the inevitable destructiveness of golf. A statement from you is not a cite. Deal? ---
