OpieYates,

You make a valid point, but the topic of the thread started off with an article about the connection between the rising cost of medications and its role in the rising cost of healthcare. Sure, Stardog and myself are somewhat to blame for steering the topic off course by making some comments about one of the authors, I'll admit to my wrongdoings there. But fromabove has been on here ragging on John Edwards on several threads now, and in one particular thread, singled me out for some reason. I tried as hard as I could to stay objective about the topic at hand, but couldn't, because medical malpractice suits are something that hit too close to home for me, so I opted to just quit commenting in that thread.

Now...here they are again, going off on the same tired rant from before in a different thread in an entirely different topic. So, yes, it needed to be addressed. I am by no means trying to flame this person, in fact, I'm trying to do the exact opposite thing, as I am not usually confrontational or one to get involved with flame wars. I'm just on here trying to gather information just like anybody else, and to offer my support to any member who asks for it, since so many have done the same for me.

Stardog was right when he suggested that this poster not turn this into a political thread. There are other places on this board for that sort of thing. This topic is supposed to be about the rising costs of medication and the connection between the rising cost of healthcare. Going into a rant about John Edwards and the litigation's he was involved in as a lawyer has nothing to do with this topic at all. That's all we were trying to point out.

Now that we've gotten all of that cleared up, can we all at least try to be adults and stick to the topic?
