::"Allopathic crap" has saved millions of lives.

:yep, and it's killed alot too.:

And that is what I particularly resent. The insinuation that "killing a lot" is performed with malice and forethought. What an incredibly arrogant and cruel remark.

::I have provided documentation concerning the WNV vaccine, yet my comments are still argued.

:er, excuse me -- you provided a some information from the CVMA -- I didn't see much real information in that, and certianly no cold hard facts other than number counts. Even the statistics that you presented are counter to the article that you posted.:

That is absolutely untrue. I don't know what you are reading, but there no numbers given by me. I gave ratios. Ratios are not exact. If you are asking for exact numbers, I do not have exact numbers, nor would anyone be irresponsible enough to suggest "exact numbers".

:I'm sorry that you're offended by being asked for actual factual references, that your mathematics is consistent, and by citing case histories.:

You didn't ask anything. You attacked. Therefore, that is a very superficial apology. You apparently are very skilled at putting someone on the defensive, and that is precisely the reaction you evoked. I gave factual references, and "math", referring to precise figures, was not mentioned. I think it's shameful that anyone should be allowed to change a discussion into a fundamental assault. There are ways to "ask". You are "asking" questions with the intent to ambush. That is not a discussion. And I deeply resent the underlying "theme" that I have mentioned in the past. I think it's nothing short of libelous to make statements suggesting that allopaths kill animals, as though allopaths are diabolical and driven to do nothing more than cause pain and misery.

I don't know what it is that caused you to become so bitter, but I'll remove myself from this "discussion" that rose from RedSky's question. It was to RedSky I posed my response, and it was not intended to open myself to attack.
