[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 716044, member: 22572"] [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] I expressed the opinion that the moderators should look at this thread and consider if any good could come out of continuing with it. I even went to the extraordinary measure of flagging my own post simply to bring the matter to their attention. You disagreed with my opinion and I have no problems with that. I do not expect others to agree with me at all times and on all matters. Nor do I have any illusions of infallibility. I am also satisfied that the thread has been reviewed by the moderators as a result and in their better judgement the thread should remain open. I appreciate also that this thread has been posted in the soap box part of the forum, where perhaps most flexibility should be allowed by the moderators in discussing controversial views. To be honest the views of the OP did not offend or upset me personally. I have been a t2 diabetic for five years now and this kind of accusation is water off a duck's back by now. Others reading his articulate post though may not have been as immune or emotionally secure. That is why I felt strongly enough to, like you and many others, post repeatedly in response, to try and put forward the opposite argument. I am now satisfied that our side of the argument is now pretty clear and well laid out in this thread. Readers are free to draw their own conclusions on the issue. Pavlos [/QUOTE]
