Blackrots,

Maybe you could share your full name, professional titles (if any),
education (if any), and publications (if any) ... or just leave Dr.
Chung alone.

I welcome Dr. Chung's posts and expertise on cardiology issues. I have
no problem with his signature line.

I have nothing against religious discussion if people want to debate
those issues, but this is not the appropriate forum, IMHO.

I wish those that choose to perpetuate some religious war would do it
elsewhere, not here (Dr. Chung included).  

JMO.

Why does my question to Dr. Chung bother you personally so much as to
post your question?  I am curious to look any papers or abstracts or
letters he might have written in a peer-reviewed journal to get a
better gist of him without having to stiff through his religious
infatuation and posts that ask people to "pass this on..."  There are
just too many Chungs that come up on Medline.

blackrots,

It is easy for anonymous posters to question the integrity of others
and throw daggers.  You and other anonymous posters have made several
snide comments and accusations about Dr. Chung's professional
credentials, seemingly because he evangelizes his religious beliefs.

Although I am not particularly interested in reading through that stuff
either, I am even LESS interested in listening to anonymous posters
tear down a professional that posts his full name and contact
information on this Usenet.

Sorry, but your thinly veiled attempt to appear to show genuine
interest in Dr. Chung's publications, is a bit laughable now.

If you were truely interested and wanted to get to know this person in
a mutually respectful manner,  you would not be continuously making
snide remarks and being so antagonistic.  Get to know him by treating
him as a human being, not an enemy.  He may then share his publications
(if he has published).

I may be wrong but this is JMO,

Might you really be Dr. Chung?
Sue - 27 Jan 2006 19:13 GMT
> Might you really be Dr. Chung?

No, I am not Dr. Chung.  I am not a Doctor.  I just get sick of the
religious fights on this Usenet, that have turned into rumor and
slander, and questioning someone's professional knowledge and
integrity.

There are not too many cardiologists that actually post here, so I hate
to antagonize those that do.  I also know that the more one tries to
quiet an "evangelist" the more they will turn up the volume.

I know you are not responsible for all the fighting.. but you just
happened to be the poster that has finally received my complaints.

Bottomline: I really do not want to get drawn into the religious stuff
here.

Take Care,
Sue

I totally agree with you.  It is turning out that 99% of what is posted
in this newsgroup is not related to cardiologic issues at all.  I, in
fact, did come here a while back to post a question, but decided to ask
elsewhere (at The Cleveland Clinic).

I am glad that you got your questions answered at the forum of your
choice.

If you are no longer here with cardiologic questions and you do not
want to get caught up in the religious stuff here, then why are you
here?

Just curious,

Aha - the first refuge of a troll is to accuse someone that posts
something they dislike of being a sock puppet for someone they assume
most dislike.  It is nothing more than an ad hominem by proxy.  Lame.

Oh lookie. It's "John" again, doing what "John" does best. Draw fire
from Chung.

Chung's sock puppets usually type it TROLL so it's, um, louder. While
they troll.

I bet you forgot, "John."

Actually, what John seems to be doing best here in SMC is draw you out,

Oh, look written laughter from Chung. Poor guy must be feeling loads of
despair. Or could it be an ASCII self-congratulatory smirk at his
"witty" comment - the play on words? Or could Chung be more restrained
and proper, just grinning because anything more is unseemly, never mind
all the rest of his devious ploys? Hard to tell with Chung, given the
slipperiness of his actions. But it's amusement, just the same and it
certainly does have a lovely tone of smugness about it. Tone, remember
how you ridiculed the idea of tone in writing, Chung...? Ooops.
Discernment ray gun sputtered that time.

A noble calling, that, drawing me out thing. Keeps my laughter mechanism
in fine working order, lets me practice a low-level logic analysis (all
that's needed), and gives me good typing practice so I can poke holes in
your "science" like your most recent foray into plate tectonics. That
really is a hoot - that you have not the remotest notion of the power of
a nuclear explosion and not the remotest idea of what plates are like.
Didn't stop you from developing a howler of a "theory." Next you'll be
telling us to read Velikovski and Blavatski because you "discern" their
correctness. Bwah...

It keeps the mind sharp to read stupid comments like the ones that
"John" posts. Makes one appreciate the intelligent ones so much more.
Oh, don't worry, you're not in that group, so no responsibility to keep
up the intelligence.

Chats not going so well...?

As someone who looks at this group a lot, thought I'd share my view.

Dr Chung has helped a very large number of people on this forum, including
myself, and I am sure there is a large silent majority that really
appreciate this. Most doctors wouldn't dream of speaking to Joe Public
outside of surgery... unless they were given a credit card number.
Personally I don't mind the evangelestic stuff that comes with it but I
think it has gone a bit over the top for people who want to talk about
cardiology.

Dr Chung is clearly a very intelligent guy. I'm puzzled why all this
fascination with March 29th as to me the only thing that is special about it
is that it just seems to be another solar eclipse. The Bible itself warns
against reading too much into dates... "I will come like a thief in the
night..."  (Rev 3:3). As he is a scientist, I would love Dr Chung to give a
logical, reasoned, scientific explanation what it is so special about 29th
March 2006 and this solar eclipse in particular.

Many "Christian" sects give these sort of catacysmic predictions of course
and when they don't turn true the leaders turn to more and more desperate
measures to assert themselves, just look at the Heavensgate sect for example
which ended up in an act of mass suicide. When the earthquake doesn't happen
I hope we will not give Dr Chung such a hard time that he will discontinue
to help people on this forum with their cardiology issues.

In my mad moments, I do keep wondering though what we would we say to Dr
Chung if there really was a global earthquake on 29th March...

Oh well said my bit, shall go and lurk in the shadows again.

Jerry

My apologies for the distraction :-)  Please forgive me for all my
iniquities.

It's trajectory suggests that it is **the** eclipse seen in the vision
described in Revelation 6:12.

Actually, this is not a warning but rather a prediction that there will
not be fanfare.  The only voice you will hear announcing the arrival of
the thief is from the watchmen who are awake to see him.

See above.

I am not a member of a Christian sect.

Hopefully, you don't wish to prophesy and mean **if** the earthquake
doesn't happen.  It remains possible. Either way, my continuing to help
people here in SMC will depend on the LORD's will. For all I know, the
LORD may call me Home even before the earthquake.  I am ready.

If this possibility of a global earthquake is realized on 03/29/2006,
we will all be knocked facedown on the ground acknowledging the King of
kings and Lord of lords.

I agree.

Possible, but that's because of the many blow it up out of proportion.

Me too!
