In this session, we see more evidence of Carter's hypochondriasis.
Notice how he maintains an ambiguous Hepatitis C serostatus while
playing internet doctor to hepatitis sufferers. While this may not
seem important, and it probably does not to the average reader, it
does make for an interesting study in quackery.

One has to wonder why anyone without a college degree, such as
George M. Carter, would dispense unqualified medical advise to
people suffering from real medical conditions while he simultaneously
feigns their illnesses. The answer may lie in his own words: he has
exhibited a pathological desire to be loved, and to fit in, which he
feels is a fitting substitute for his past heroin addiction, or so he
claims. Or, the answer may be more mundane: he derives his living as a
"Treatment expert" under the cover of an AIDS buyer's club, again,
without possessing any academic credentials, selling nostrums to the
ignorant by pandering to their weaknesses, and later enlisting them as
shills for his crusade. Either way, a classic case of megalomania.

He has confirmed his HIV negative serostatus after much wrangling.
Maybe it's time that George "Liverboy" Carter seeks out western style
medical intervention in order to obtain a definitive diagnosis for his
assumed HCV malady.

Here we see the cornered Carter trying to deflect attention away
from his failure as a boxwood evergreen (a failed HIV therapy that
was promoted by Carter after he received recompense from its
manufacturer) salesman by playing the treatment card; asking a
loaded, rhetorical question, then answering it with a hyperbolic,
passive-aggressive response.

This vague reference to alleged Carter antagonists named
"Frod" and "Billi", that the casual reader will not understand,
appears to be an attempt by Carter to "suck in" subscribers in order
to make him appear to be a martyr. Notice how he drapes himself in
the phrase "us all" as he alludes to being murdered. It would be
amusing if his behavior was not so tragic.

More references to death blamed on phantom "Nazis under the
bed" characters from Carter's fevered imagination (i.e., "Frod",
"Frod Show", "Dogslobber"). He blames his inability to
communicate in an open forum on "attacks" from these
"boogiemen", projecting his own schizophrenia and abusive nature
into the mix.

The usual pre-emptive tirade by Carter which insults all those who
have been mature enough to engage in meaningful discussions
here without wetting their pants or resorting to sophomoric tactics.
The "Frod Show" is his.

His attempts at moderation are rejected.
