i dont understand what you dont get about all of this. ML is a one trick pony. without the very thing you say you dont like, there was already an acid/alkaline forum which he was on. he was sequestered to keep the peace - not necessarily because he wanted his own forum.
so the people who would get help from him would get the help anyway from other forums EXCEPT for his drink. and ask 2sirius and grz - they will say that drink is what helped them.
so i see the moreless situation the opposite that you seem to. i wont take that drink for my own reasons, so i dont have much of a foundation for talking for or against it. i talk about what i know. moreless - he makes a lot of shit up in addition to the things he says which are right.
