I have formatting turned off, and I'm not going to switch back and forth to accommodate those who are going to be hyper-critical of my writing style.

You're the one who wrote, "I capitalize for emphasis, because I don't know how to italicize or bold things on this board", and now you're the victim because I gave you some pointers in case you actually wanted to learn something.

I honestly don't give a shit if you have community styling off and refuse to accomodate others.

The only "criticism" I've given is "criticism" you've requested. If you can't handle the explanation of why you come across as overly emotional to me, don't ask for the explanation.

Having fun psychoanalyzing? It's folks like you who make this board an unpleasant place. We're all supposed to be "awakening" together, aren't we? Why the hostility, or attempts to discredit? What happened to the thread? You've become sidetracked in a different direction because I offended you somehow. I've continued to be cordial, in spite of this.

Who's the one telling people the facts aren't good enough because they don't account for your personal feelings? Who's the one actually being hostile here?

I'm retired LEO. Believe me, I fear nothing. You are conflating fear with caution, which is how law enforcement operates.

Did you retire from Uvalde?

Bad joke but I might as well live up to your accusations, eh?

We don't live in an utopia. It's people like me (when I was employed) who anticipated issues before they occurred, and kept others from being hurt when they weren't in possession of all the facts, and perhaps lacked the situational awareness to keep themselves safe. So, your idea is to recreate how organized society works, and condemn those who display some awareness of details that others don't? You want others to "...find out for themselves" what they didn't understand previously? Depend upon others to "read the disclaimer" and fend for themselves? You can't be serious.

No, I expect you to point out the disclaimer and its importance if you're concerned people are going to miss its importance and you're worried about that.

A simple honest statement from the start would have prevented any confusion.

Something like as follows-

"As somebody with an auto-immune disease which was undiagnosed for years. here are some lessons I've learned along the way I'd like to share so others don't suffer like I did.

• Doctors are largely incompetent.

• Don't spend a bunch of money on expensive tests just because your doctor doesn't know what's wrong with you. You're better off seeking out a second opinion first, especially if your doctor starts suggesting prescriptions before they even know what the problem is.

• Take responsibility to do your own research and to be your own advocate. Nobody else is going to stand up for you and watch over your health as much as you will, so don't depend on them to do so.

• As far as this protocol goes, realize this document is intended for doctors and not for the general public. Read the disclaimer and do your best to find a competent and caring doctor to guide you through these treatments, and I get that's like finding a needle in a haystack.

• Disregard everything I just wrote if you were smart enough not to get the clot shot and if you're not planning on sharing this protocol with friends and family. Congratulations on making it this far."

And of course in your own words and your own formatting.
