OCOTILLO WIND TURBINE THROWS OFF MULTI-TON BLADE, PROMPTING WORLD-WIDE SHUT DOWN OF SIMILAR TURBINES

[IdaBriggs]

279. I have had a different experience with some of the folk responding with derision to the post.

About one year ago I witnessed a breakthrough moment in understanding, possibly preventing, and definitely treating neuromuscular issues. It was "a miracle moment" that left me shaking as "everything" that "everybody" knew literally turned upside down. An "incurable" condition had improved for a 9-year old girl - and I was NOT an expert on the topic, but knew just enough to know that "something major" had happened.

It was Friday, June 8, 2012, and I didn't sleep for two days while I attempted to grasp the ramifications of what was going on. I reached out to DU, the thread sunk into oblivion (I thought), and so I reached out in "real life" for information.

Several hours later I came back to discover that the thread had popped up/gotten locked as "off-topic", I was being vilified as all kinds of bad, and shortly thereafter I was introduced to the snake-pit of "meta" where I became the recipient of some of the most insulting, rude and obnoxious comments I had *ever* had aimed at me as a DU member since 2004. Most of them were of the "you snake oil salesman, you!" variety (despite the fact I was not and never have sold *anything* and the volunteer work I do for our non-profit is purely VOLUNTEER).

It didn't matter what I said - I was "bad" - and while I eventually did get some "revenge" by getting to quote some of the idiotic and arsine comments in the video put up to explain what was happening, the reality was that a bunch of "nay sayers" (many of whom I recognize for the fact that their comments are nearly word for word what they said to me last year - lol!) are minimizing and dismissing what sounds like some legitimate issues - because "cancer clusters" are all imaginary and large pieces of industrial equipment that "fall off" due to bad engineering designs aren't a problem (unless it is happening in your back yard).

I have been blessed with a tenacious nature. Idiots on the internet who were bluntly hurting my feelings with their vicious attacks (not hidden because it was "meta&quot could have very easily driven me away from either DU or the Project. One must always take the attacks of clever mean people with the grain of salt they deserve. (I myself do not come to this discussion with perfectly clean hands - I recently made one of the most sarcastic and condescending posts "explaining" how sex makes babies and why telling someone to get an abortion doesn't absolve you of paying child support!)

But since I know the folk attacking both the article and the reporter in question are really not nice, credible people, plus I know that I was telling the truth, while they decided to willfully ignore the evidence I was comfortable providing, I am going to assume that the issues being raised are REAL. If it turns out to be easily fixable (*drat! we used the wrong type of fastener!* - Lil!), then yeah! If it turns out to be imaginary, it will fade.

In the meantime, this post will kick the thread. I'd like to stay informed about what is going on -- people rarely imagine cancer, and since we are still learning what causes it or makes one person more susceptible than another, I can only wish the best for all involved while it is investigated.

Screw the "ny ah, ny ah, we don't like what you are saying!" brigade.

Kick.
