It's clearly a matter of interpretation. Why not just answer his question?

That probably would be because he is a newbie who has insulted regulars and
has failed to lurk and learn. Should sound familiar to you.

Hi Joy, I see that the group has a new troll.
Joy - 11 Dec 2004 04:24 GMT
> Hi Joy, I see that the group has a new troll.

Well, at the least a difference of opinion.

I have discussed this at length with others and about everyone agrees that
they didn't like the old system where newbies had to lurk and learn. But I
have come to the opposite conclusion, particularly after answering the SAME
questions OVER and OVER again. And I also don't like how some supposed
innocent newbie can set off a flame war. So everyone has their points of
view, but I am now thinking lurk and learn had it's advantages.

But in the case of the latest question, this newbie foolishly insulted the
people who knew the answer and so now they will have to Google the group to
get their answer because the answer is not forthcoming. I don't work here. I
volunteer.......... as does Maureen and CBI and the others who know the
answer. I guess that is why lurk and learn was established. And you know,
you can go on forever with the Mary thing, but in the end, she is just a
loose cannon who seems to have little to contribute and only posts if she
views it as somehow protecting her reputation which was lost some time ago;
she just doesn't seem to realize it yet.

Holy sh.t!  The great war continues!

But to answer your question, Joy: yes, my post in the other thread was quite
satisfying to me, since it got you started all over again.  After that
prolonged silence there, I was afraid you'd lost your nutso card and had to
go wait in line to get another.

Seriously now, I should apologize.  I don't wanna be mean to you, but my god
is it easy to get a rise outta you.  It's like one of those automatic toilet
flushers.  You walk by and it's a deluge of abuse.  A guy just can't
resist...

Oh and: damn!  I've lost my greatest resource!  The spastic asthmatics won't
answer my question about their high priest!  Guess I'll just have to look it
up on Pubmed.  And what do I find?  Some quack doctor who puts out one paper
every two years, all with more or less the same title: "Does Chlamydia cause
asthma???" "Chlamydia and asthma!" "Chlamydia, asthma, and my cult of
spastics who really think I'll cure them!"

Dude.  Wake up, people.  This guy doesn't even write research papers.  He
writes comments and letters.  They have about 9 references each.  No one
cites him.  He's bullshit.  And you're all buying it.

But you know what?  You're not gonna believe me anyway.  And in fact, this
is just going to rouse a roaring tide of spastic behavior.  So bring it on.
And keep taking your 50 meds and spending your whole life surfing around a
netgroup.  I'm sure that'll help your asthma more than going out and getting
fit ever would.

And hey, Mary, you're right.  I don't know a chick from a cheeseburger, and
this is something my girlfriend complains about regularly.  "Eat me," she
says, and then I go hunting for that darn cheeseburger.  So since you sound
slightly more sane than your sparring partner here, why don'tcha come and
show me what a real woman's like?  I'm here in Stanford and I'll gladly give
you my address.  Nah, I'm just kidding with you.  Don't bite me.

 Oh, for the record, I've been off all asthma meds for 18 months now and haven't had any problems with my breathing.  My son has been off his asthma meds for over a year and hasn't had any problems either.  I just hang out here to answer questions people might have about Dr. Hahn or about the link between bacteria and some asthma.   Polite people, anyway.

I'm not. I'm new here, recently diagnosed. Still caught up in the necessary
process of flushing out the control freaks and aggressively stupid posters
from the ones that might know something about the disease.

Cute.

I love it. Keep flirting with Mary. And you go proving my recently
discovered disapproval of Stanwhatever.

Yes, I can type (quickly) and yes Dear old dad teaches at MIT. But those
were skip-a -generation smarts, I will admit. So my niece, the oldest
Grandchild is a Fulbright Scholar. And my boys can get into any school out
there. I instead am wasting my time with the likes of you.

You have me confused with someone else. I would have never voted for Bush,
except I am stuck in this God forsaken state, so my vote didn't count.
However, if the draft is reinstated, I will be a resident of Canada, where I
already have many friends. I do feel sorry for you because the President
isn't as smart as some of those who voted for him and the draft is a
possibility. Just remember, you can have dual citizenship to Canada, should
it come to that.

But that has little to do with Hahn and how I feel he is on the right track
for some of us. Not for you, but then, you knew that there was more than one
cause of asthma.

Why don't you busy Mary with your theory?

And Dr Martin and Kraft and the Europeans. And in addition, look at the
quality of the journals these studies are published in:

NEJM, Ann Allergy Asthma, Am J Respir Dis, Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol just
to name a few. So MEDLINE before you reply there since you are at Stanford
and supposed to be smart.

But what this fellow really requires a chance to research the past fitness
studies which don't seem to support his point of view. I mean if that made
any sense, there would be no Olympic athletes with asthma. Another topic
beat to death on this NG. But he knows that.

I wonder if Stanford would be interested in the online behavior of its
future graduates?????
anatak - 12 Dec 2004 00:55 GMT
Ah, new day, new posts.

No, lady.  Those aren't big journals.  Not for the magnitude of the
breakthrough you think it is.  If this was really a cure for asthma, or even
*potentially* a cure with solid enough data to support it, someone would
have put it in Nature or Science.  This could change the lives of millions.
But it's just letters and comments -- *opinions* -- in highly specialized
journals, which means the vast majority of the public is rightly skeptical.
And I don't claim to have read all relevant papers since I don't have the
time you all seem to have, but those I did had absolutely no data and no
figures in them.  No error bars.  Nothing.  I don't trust it.

Mom was right: don't believe everything you read.  Especially not on Pubmed
and Medline.  If you know half of jackshit about research, you'd know
reading papers consists of skimming the abstract and the methods, and then
poring over the figures and ignoring *their* interpretation of their
results.  That's the only way to make your own decision, and making your own
decision is what you gotta do with data.

As for fitness, I don't claim it'll help everyone.  But it can't hurt.
Keeping my lungs fit sure as hell helped me more than pills ever did.  For
about a year I let myself turn into a couch potato, and that's the year my
issues surfaced.  I got back into shape, they subsided.  Coincidence?
Maybe.  I don't think so.

And, damn are you big about my being in Stanford.  Or Sanford?????, as you
like to spell it.  What is this now, college envy?  And really, lady.  It's
a university.  Think about it.  Liberal minds, nimble fingers.  Stanford's
own newsgroups have about 10x as much debate on them.  Only difference is,
they're a little more coherent than your rabid attacks.  Sometimes.

You're so stupid, you don't know what NEJM is, do you ? And yes, it will

Nature and Science? Boy are you out of touch.They are out of it by 10 years
at least. And the rest of your statement indicates you failed to read, but
that was not unexpected.

Mom seems to not know what she is talking about. She of course has an MD or
PHD in a medical field. And you are so new to this that you haven't a clue
how much research people on this newsgroup have done. JUST spouting off
doesn't impress me or anyone here.

As for fitness, I don't claim it'll help everyone.  But it can't hurt.

Well , maybe your asthma has a different cause. You are then lucky.

But stupid if you think all asthma has the same cause.

But what this fellow really requires a chance to research the past fitness
studies which don't seem to support his point of view. I mean, if that made
any sense, there would be no Olympic athletes with asthma. Another topic

I'd be more careful if I were you to act  superior to the rest of us. My Dad
teaches at MIT. So I have no college envy. I actually could feel sorry for
those of you who got stuck going to Stanfor. Debate is worthless without the
facts and you and clearly clueless. Not that it bothers me. Just proves you
aren't up to the task. I am however, disappointed that Standwhatever has had
to scrape the barrel. Well, I won't be looking there for my kids.

Those are two of the biggest journals for basic science.

If it has to do with medicine the big 4 are NEJM, JAMA,
Lancet, and BMJ. Since asthma si a disease of people one
would expect a cure to appear in one of these.

You might disagree with this one, doc, but I'd include the European Respiratory Journal to that list.

It depends on what you are talking about. If you are talking
about the top couple of medical journals where a major
scientific breakthrough is likely to be published regardless
of specialty - yeah, I would disagree.

If you are talking about top respiratory journals - assuming
that the news would break in the specialty journals first -
then that and Chest rank right up there.

 If you are talking about top respiratory journals - assuming
 that the news would break in the specialty journals first -
 then that and Chest rank right up there.

Oh my.  I just took a quick count and see that a 1991 article written by Dr. Hahn and published in JAMA has been cited 48 times in articles written by others - most of them between the years 2000 and 2004.  

Dude, you don't know anything about researching medicine, do you???!!!

 Ah, new day, new posts.

 No, lady.  Those aren't big journals.  Not for the magnitude of the
 breakthrough you think it is.  If this was really a cure for asthma, or even
 *potentially* a cure with solid enough data to support it, someone would
 have put it in Nature or Science.  This could change the lives of millions.
 But it's just letters and comments -- *opinions* -- in highly specialized
 journals, which means the vast majority of the public is rightly skeptical.
 And I don't claim to have read all relevant papers since I don't have the
 time you all seem to have, but those I did had absolutely no data and no
 figures in them.  No error bars.  Nothing.  I don't trust it.

 Mom was right: don't believe everything you read.  Especially not on Pubmed
 and Medline.  If you know half of jackshit about research, you'd know
 reading papers consists of skimming the abstract and the methods, and then
 poring over the figures and ignoring *their* interpretation of their
 results.  That's the only way to make your own decision, and making your own
 decision is what you gotta do with data.

 As for fitness, I don't claim it'll help everyone.  But it can't hurt.
 Keeping my lungs fit sure as hell helped me more than pills ever did.  For
 about a year I let myself turn into a couch potato, and that's the year my
 issues surfaced.  I got back into shape, they subsided.  Coincidence?
 Maybe.  I don't think so.

 And, damn are you big about my being in Stanford.  Or Sanford?????, as you
 like to spell it.  What is this now, college envy?  And really, lady.  It's
 a university.  Think about it.  Liberal minds, nimble fingers.  Stanford's
 own newsgroups have about 10x as much debate on them.  Only difference is,
 they're a little more coherent than your rabid attacks.  Sometimes.

Oh my.  I'm about to do something you have never heard of:

Admit when someone else might be right.

Thanks for the citation -- even if you didn't bother to cite it.  Nevertheless, I found the article.  It's not online, but that's fine.  I'll go look it up in the library and read through it.  Then I'll make my own decisions.

Now let me note that if you'd given me this link to start with, rather than barrage me with abuse, I would've been one helluva lot nicer in return.  As for Joy -- well, that lady was just asking for it, after she turned some other poster's perfectly valid, calm, advice-seeking question into her personal battleground because she was a spastic.  If you want to be respected as an oldtimer on this forum, learn to accept differing viewpoints.  Or at least, bother to learn about them before you rip into them with all the fervor of a blind doberman.

Oh, and NorthShore, dude???!!!  Don't say dude, dude, unless you know how to use it.  You don't.  Dude.  So dude, get off it already.  You're not funny, dude, and you're not clever.  Your little attempt at mocking is not working as an offensive strategy.  And frankly, dude, it never did.

Dude!

Oh, and -- Joy, irregardless of how I might disagree with your means and ideas, I do apologize for attacking you.  You sounded distinctly hurt in your last response, which is I've kept silent until now.  I don't blame you -- I hurled some fairly cutting comments your way.  I was simply reacting to the tone of your messages at the time (and was also quite grumpy due to stress, finals and papers), but that sort of behavior is never acceptable, no matter what precipitates it.  This sort of discussion shouldn't lead to all-out war.  I'm sorry.  I'm sure you're a wonderful parent to your sons.  I just hope you learn to accept other viewpoints a little more easily.

This'll probably be my last post on this for a while, if not permanently.  I'm going abroad for winter break and when I get back I'll be wall to wall with school again.  Hey Mary: it's been fun ;-)

Oh, and -- Joy, irregardless of how I might disagree with your means and

your last response, which is I've kept silent until now.  I don't blame

Anatak,

The really sad part is the person who started this whole mess was actually a
spammer as Alison said (see all the Brad posts of today). My entry into this
fray was Sheldon really, and  in my attempts to keeps newbies from getting
hurt, I posted they should killfile him (and most people do, in the end)
which somehow set off Mary who thinks it is childish to post that you have
killfiled. Well, I make an exception in his case. And I decided she was so
rude, that I would just play it out to the end.

Apology on my part also. Hopefully now everyone can settle down.

Joy

Pfft. You are a censorious control freak. And now a LYING censorious control
freak. But at least you are not so uncouth as to post in HTML, so that's
something.
NorthShoreCEO - 14 Dec 2004 00:00 GMT
I appreciate your initial thoughts here, and just want to add that it's a little hard to take someone seriously given the tone of your initial post, and the Dude business.  I'm not a dude, by the way, I'm a dudette.  And my asthma was completely resolved after suffering with it for 33 years, thanks to the research initially started by Dr. Hahn.  My sons asthma was resolved, my friends sons asthma was resolved.  Joy's was greatly improved, so she only has allergy triggered asthma in the summer.  If you want to do some more research, do a search at www.jama.com, and using the advanced search engine, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Search multiple journals.  Click on the major journals we've already mentioned here and enter the words chlamydia pneumoniae and asthma and then do another search using the words mycoplasma and asthma.  You'll find this isn't really new research, and that Dr. Hahn isn't the only one recognizing this.  You can also find information about those bacteria and the thought that they're linked to a whole host of diseases at www.immed.org.   By the way - nobody is saying that all asthma is caused by this, researchers feel many things can cause asthma, and bacteria is but one.

As for Joys response to a perfectly calm question, if you're talking about your partner in crime here, then look back a little further and you'll find that she (not Joy) has managed to get everyone mad here because she's a foul mouthed bulldozer trying to tell everyone to follow her rules for posting.  

 Oh my.  I'm about to do something you have never heard of:

Thank you for taking the time to look that up and share it here.  It's very much appreciated.

 The following appear in the ISI Science Citation Index.
 It seems that Dr Hahn wrote at least 100 scientific articles
 most of them cited many times. I agree he deserves respect.
