Good riddance. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

What lowers the standard of this blog is that every chiro that has commented here has avoided the issues and resorted to ad hominem attacks instead.

No, I don’t respect people who do that.

Nice try Zeno, I expected better from you to be honest.

I will leave your blog now and let you know that even though I don’t agree with your views I respect them, as I would any other person. I don’t feel that skepticat shares the same basic manners, therefore, I don’t wish to continue visiting your site.

I wish you and your family well.

Goodbye.

Tom said: “Zeno, this individual is lowering the standard of your blogs.”

Nope, I don’t think you need any help at all.

Ha Ha Ha! Correct me if i’m wrong but I do believe Skepticat just accused me of being a bit chicken!? What powers of intellect you have at your disposal.

And nope, even though you’re desperate for me to read below that point.

Zeno, this individual is lowering the standard of your blogs.

Yes, Tom, but the difference between a lap top table and an appointment with a chiropractor is about £80. And since you’re scared of clicking my link, I’ll save you the bother and c & p here:

“On the subject of what treatment I needed, she was more forthcoming: if I made an appointment there and then for a full examination at their clinic, I could have it for the bargain price of £30 instead of the usual £95. I didn’t enquire about the price of the “several sessions” of treatment she thought I might need but asked instead whether simply making a concerted effort to improve my posture might help. “I’d still recommend treatment because the longer you leave a problem untreated, the greater the danger of degenerative disease,” came the predictable reply…

…The next day I bought a £15 laptop table from IKEA and my shoulders haven’t ached since.”

Nothing to do with regulation of chiros. It was a question.

And skepticat, that is the kind of advice chiropractors give. It’s called work station ergonomics. No chance of me reading that link either if your recent reply is anything to go by.

I had one of those pains recently. It lasted a few weeks. I treated it by buying a laptop table. I’ve had no problem since.

So fortunately, I didn’t waste my money on chiropractic, in spite of their best efforts to snare me.

What’s that got to do with the regulation of chiros?

I apologize if have touched/hurt someone’s sensitivity by my ‘uncivilized’ comments; however, I will engage you no more on this nonsense as I see no constructive outcomes, regardless of writing style.

As someone on the previous posts said, if you meet one dodgy mechanic does not mean all mechanics are.

It is no up to me to judge or scrutinize the work of the GCC, GMC ot any other professional body. I’m sure someone above me is. Might that be you?

Anyway, good work; keep it up.

Goodbye.
