Re: Zapping?
I am well aware of their attempts to manipulate, however, I do not intend to either give in, stoop to their level, or to succumb to it.
I just believe that it should be up to us to at least try to maintain the higher standards. If there is to be goodness, kindness, and fairness, then it must start with us, because it surely will not come from them.
I will say one thing here. There is good in every group. After the FDA raid, I was contacted by someone who came to me red faced with embarrassment that they had made a major constitutional violation and that they were sorry that it had been done. I told them to not worry, I was aware, and thanked them for their honesty.
I also had a number of customers tell me that they had been called by the FDA, pressured, and and there was even attempted coercion in an attempt to get someone to file a claim against us. The FDA had told these and other customers that they were never to associate with me or the company again.
So, let us begin by trying to keep things as civil as possible, not constantly attacking those we see as trolls or plants. The truth is that most readers see though them without us needing to attack.
The readers will appreciate our civility and may be more willing to post without fear that they may be attacked too.
