just my 2 cents...

I haven't been keeping up with the Tony/Hv fights, but I have to say the bottom line here is curing people. People come to CUREZONE looking for a CURE- people who are too sick to fight.

People come here very sick, some even dying, and they find a forum with someone saying you can be cured by this or that and they believe it because there's a bunch of "groupies" fanning the moderators egos. They may not have the strength to research pH, oleander, urine, ozone, herbs or whatever, and they may die. What they learn and do from some of the forums here may cause their death. It's not arguing over which tea to drink with dinner. Some people come to curezone diagnosed with a only few weeks to live.

Some forum owners are PASSIONATE about what they spent years researching; passionate about sharing these truths they learned, and passionate about not letting people die.

They may not have the best social skills all the time, but they care enough to spend a lot of time in here, and sometimes these passionate people disagree. Disagreeing in a support forum isn't easy. Some people become overtly aggressive because it may be a life and death situation as far as they see it, and that may be true. It's hard to say who's to blame when passions are high and people are both overtly aggressive and covertly aggressive. And, let's not forget the groupies fanning the flames.

If the bottom line is curing people, and there are diametrically opposed views on what will cure or kill a person, we have to allow for some arguing in support forums. And please remember, it takes two to tango- and just because you don't notice the long history of passive aggressive behavior of the instigators, they're just as guilty as the one losing it.

Passive aggression:

The book Living with the Passive–Aggressive Man lists 11 responses that may help identify passive–aggressive behavior:^[1]

• Ambiguity or speaking cryptically: a means of engendering a feeling of insecurity in others
• Chronically being late and forgetting things: another way to exert control or to punish.
• Fear of competition
• Fear of dependency
• Fear of intimacy as a means to act out anger: The passive–aggressive often cannot trust. Because of this, they guard themselves against becoming intimately attached to someone.
• Making chaotic situations
• Making excuses for non-performance in work teams
• Obstructionism
• Procrastination
• Sulking
• Victimization response: instead of recognizing one's own weaknesses, tendency to blame others for own failures.
