Divina I was going to let this go, but you last mail makes me realise a stand has to be taken. I chose to quote that part of your comment, because that is the part I object to, but let me try to be even more specific.
Regardless of the context, either of the substantiation request, or of the overall topic of constitution, to call into question the ‘scholarship’ of this person, is what I object to.
You do not know this person, and your comments are completely untrue, and derogatory.
I, on the other hand, do know this member, and he is anything but ‘intellectually lazy’.
Once again for luck, my stand is to do with the issue of respect between our selves, on how this group of homeopaths here treat each other.
Certainly there have been numerous instances of untrue and ugly allegations of a personal nature made against other members too, and I’ve spoken against these on occasion.
I’m barking up this particular tree at the moment, because I know for a fact your comments are not based on any truth whatsoever.
I would urge all members, for the sake of the health of the discussions that we have, to make their objections to such deviations heard, even if the offending comment happens to be made by someone who shares the same outlook on homeopathy as they do. Passions get roused, surely. But there is no harm in reminding people that personal slurs on a member’s character cause offence to the whole profession. .

As for the Jazzbutts, Stirbuns, Fatpants and MRC Hans’ of this world, I am categorically not interested in discussing the politics of homeopathy and modern ‘science’ here, as I have already demonstrated by largely abstaining from previous dialogues involving you (plural) and them. But if you, Divina, want to donate even more power to their elbows by factoring them into our internal politics, go right ahead. On the alleged ‘stripping raw’, sorry, but the fact is that some of you people have been tearing lumps out of each other for years, without my help, and that’s no secret. I have absolutely nothing further to say to you on that score.

I am already awake & certainly do not see myself as part of an ‘elite’ practice. In fact you have no idea who & what I encourage, nurture, look after, study, foster. I ask you to do me the courtesy of steering your assumptions clear of me in future.

Since I’m sure there are readers saying to themselves ‘I’d wish they’d all shut up so we can learn something’, that’s what I’m going to do now.
