Dawn comes up like thunder

In November last year I had an email conversation with Dawn Winkler
who runs an anti-vaccination liar outfit called "Health Advocacy in
the Public Interest". (See
http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/comment/hapi.htm) Actually, I had
several conversations with her as she had the rather unsettling habit
of answering a message with multiple replies, thus making coherent
discourse difficult. As this was combined with delusion, lack of
reading comprehension, inability to face facts, and just plain
outright lying I finally gave up when my bizarrity quotient was
exceeded. Ms Winkler has decided to contact me again, and, true to
form, she sent more than one message. Here are those messages (sent
eight minutes apart) and my kind and gentle replies.

Dear Peter,
You are polite and you gave up our conversation?
I am mentally ill?
Dawn

<Ms Winkler then went on to quote something I had written to a
hospital, warning them about her>

I replied:

I am not a psychiatrist, so I am not qualified to make a diagnosis,
but you certainly appear to be delusional, paranoid, phobic and
sociopathic. You freely confess to "seeing" such non-existent things
as eight-year-old autistics who sh.t their pants and cannot speak and
other children with "green snot" constantly running down their faces.
Normal people do not see these things. You seem to believe that there
is some massive conspiracy involving pharmaceutical companies, but you
believe this without evidence. You are fearful of non-existent threats
such as mercury in vaccines which do not contain mercury, even though
all evidence suggests that no harm would come from the mercury anyway
even if it was there. You engage in activities which, if successful,
would lead to the deaths or damage of countless children, but you show
no concern whatsoever for these children. On that last point, I am
possibly wrong to call it "sociopathic". "Psychopathic" is probably a
better word.

Peter,
Am I a "child killer"? Because that's how you word the introduction to
our conversation.
Dawn

I replied:

I am not accusing you of being like some of the heroes of the
anti-vaccination movement and actually directly murdering children
yourself. There are, however, ways of indirectly killing children.
Anyone who actively denied food to children, causing them to starve to
death, would be be called a child killer. Anyone who denied water to
children, causing them to die of thirst and dehydration, would be
called a child killer. Anyone who denied medical care for children
suffering from life-threatening illnesses or injuries would be called
a child killer. People who place children in harm's way by using them
as soldiers or to clear minefields are called child killers. Nobody
would dispute the "child killer" label in these circumstances.

You, on the other hand, actively advocate that children should be
denied protection against life-threatening and disabling diseases, and
the inevitable result of such advocacy, should it be even partially
successful, is the death or permanent harm of many children. If you
got everything you wanted, the deaths would be counted in the tens of
millions and the blind, halt and lame in the hundreds of millions. You
would sentence children to death. You are no different to the examples
listed above. Get the words "Child Killer" embroidered onto a baseball
cap. Put the cap on. It will fit perfectly.
