Since LarryDoc is gone, and MT has choosen to remain silent, Otis feels
revived. He hopes that the misquotes, misinformation, and lies that he has
spewed forth over the last year might be forgotten.

Otis-- as long as there are professional eyecare people reading this forum
we will not allow you to delude the general public.

And so:

***** OTIS WARNING *****

This posting is an automatic reply to any sci.med.vision newsgroup thread
that is receiving comments from a person named "Otis", "Otis Brown",
"otisbrown@pa.net" or "Otis, Engineer".

Otis is not an expert in any field of vision. His medical and eyecare
training is nil. He is a proponent of a myopia prevention technique that is
unproven.

Otis continually misquotes people in his posts. He drops the names of
doctors whom he falsely claims to be associated with. He has been caught in
out-and-out lies. He has given people incorrect medical advise. Sadly, his
behavior suggests he may have psychological problems that compel him to
argue against people just for the sake of causing an argument.

Otis is what is known in internet newsgroup lingo as a "troll". Do not
reply to his postings-- it just takes up bandwidth and storage space that
should be reserved for meaningful topics. It also just fulfils his sick
psychological needs.

No one means to suppress the honest opinions of others. This message is
only meant to forewarn newcomers who might misconstrue Otis as a trained
eyecare expert. Those of us who have been here for awhile know Otis oh too
well!

For anyone who is interested in understanding the true state of
scientific/medical research on myopia prevention, I offer the following
link: http://annals.edu.sg/pdf200401/V33N1p4.pdf. If you are truly
interested in Otis' theories of myopia prevention then visit his favorite
websites www.i-see.org and www.chinamyopia.com.

If you have other topics you wish to discuss, there are experts here who
will usually help you. Don't waste your time with Otis.

Please see the weekly posting "welcome to sci.med.vision", which usually
appears on Mondays, for a guide regarding this newsgroup and for information
on how to filter out Otis' posts so that you may be able to participate in
worthwhile discussions in this forum.

Dear Evaristo,

Subject: Typical "slam" against ANY new idea -- be
it "Bates" on anyone who asks sincere questions
about the behavior of the eye.

Bates -- asked these questions -- and we
all know what happened to him.

The slams are against scientifc research as
it concerns PREVENTION. These ODs want
an ignorant, PASSIVE public that does
not ask pointed questions about
"stair case" myopia -- and the like.

But please be in good spirits -- there are
sincere, supportive MDs and ODs who support
the concept of prevention -- if done
correctly.

This does suggest the need for a more "open"
and honest discussion of alternatives.

But do not expect this from RM and others
who post "knee-jerk" responses from honest
truth -- because it would damage their
"professional" position.

I regreat that they take that attitude -- but
on that subject "Rishi" has a point.

So please -- let us work together towards
a better solution.

Let use acknowledge the "difficulties" of prevention -- but
also the possibilities.

This is the 21st centurary -- and we were using
the same minus-lens method put in place by
Johann Kepler -- for goodness sake.

Best,

Otis
Engineer
