Incredible only because that's how you choose to interpret my style. In
retrospect, I agree I could have been more direct in my initial reply, but
what I was trying to show was that in heat of the moment CryoCare
representatives (like Brian Wowk and Charles Platt) NEVER answer the
substance of questions posed to them and are instead always looking for ad
hominem replies. 

If you want a flat out denial that I did such a thing, then I offer one: I
did not forge the post in question and I agree that it was bad form to do
so. My policy on disclosing the names of ANY patient is of course
contingent on whether I KNOW for sure that the patient in question gave
consent and if I'm not sure I usually ask Mike Perry who always seems to
know best.

Given that "Ragnar" and "Clarrisa Wells" MUST have been CryoCare/BPI
co-efforts based on how personal the attacks were and how reminiscent the
writing style was of some of their principal players, then I must conclude
that this is merely another one of their (perhaps collective) efforts to
smear Alcor since it has consistently been Alcor employees and members
that have taken exception to how CryoCare and BPI have erred since their
inception and more recently with regard to Timothy Leary. You have to give
them credit though for being clever. :)

Ps to Jim Halperin: message received.

Ever forward,

David
