So why don't we refute her writing point for point with actual facts and science? Wouldn't that be more effective anyway?
I'm really really down with this. Let's organize it on FB.
I'm not on FB but if someone wants to assign some facet of her writing to research, I'm happy to do so. I was thinking that's how we could do it. Everyone take one of her "facts" and debunk it, leaving emotion out of it. Just facts and science.
Then by all means keep spamming her name in google and see where that gets you. At least a fact based approach has the chance of helping someone make the right decision.

She's pissed because Google decided the thread has more traction than her blog. If she's going to publish editorials, people have the right to comment on them. Now that we know she's ready to frivolously throw down a libel claim, it won't be hard to keep the commentary based on her content alone. I imagine repeated criticism and commentary will repeatedly rank highly for Google.
I know I'll certainly be reading her blog closely. And, really, Megan -- isn't that what you want?
I really wish we didn't delete the thread but modified it to not have all the pages and include only a first page of why the thread was deleted. When it's clicked on, it goes to a "not found" rather than a disclaimer about the article and our reasons for posting and critiquing her article based on her threats and intimidation and modifying our entry so as to not cause harm to Patrick or proboards rather than it appearing we knuckled under to her threats. Now she'll do it to the next person and the next because hey, she got away with it here.
I do understand deleting it though. It was the right call, for the wrong reasons.
If she really wanted to start shit she'd write an article about the meanies who "attacked" her and get her followers to come over here and start a thing ::hint hint::
So Wait what legal action, specifically, is she threatening to take? I am pretty sure the law does not prohibit googling someone who told you her name.
Because I'm a bitch I checked the MI and IL state bar websites. This broad is not an attorney admitted in either state. I annoys me to no end when people hold themselves out as something they are not. sigh..
A) I feel like this has been overlooked. She can say Dr if her dissertation was accepted. However, as we all know, it is a gross misrepresentation since many people will not understand the different between PhD and MD. But, if she really isn't a lawyer? [be.

In addition to how she is not a PhD but an ND, her state does not actually acknowledge ND. I would go see a PhD for treatment before i saw an ND.
:::zips up flame suit:: It doesn't even matter to me whether or not a state recognizes NDs as doctors since the title has already lost much of its meaning from chiros abusing it. it still takes epic levels of hubris for an ND to sign posts related to health and medicine as a doctor. Surely the point of that is to steal the credibility a medical doctor's opinion would have. She should be ashamed of herself. Say what you want to say. It's the Internet. But you don't get to deceive people with an authoriTAY you aren't entitled to.

QFT -- especially the bolded. That's what we're dealing with here.
