This morning I came back to another submitted comment by Herb on the subject of ECT and Linda Andre and Juli Lawrence. As you can see from the comment thread here, things between Herb and Linda have been getting quite heated, and though I've continued to post everything I've received, I think it's just getting too nasty to continue.

Personal attacks are not allowed on this site, and for the record, if it weren't for Linda (and Juli) my activism on this subject would be seriously compromised. Those two have been tireless in their fight for justice on the subject, and I have never heard either of them endorse a ban (which I don't endorse either).

I try to post every comment so readers can see what the dialogue is about. But in this case, it's just getting too mean-spirited and inside-baseball. So let's either elevate the discussion in question or back off of it. At the moment it's not serving the readership here.
