new disclaimer ?

[anneasquith]

ed, re your recent addition of a disclaimer in health and fitness. may i suggest the same information should be added to the body,& soul topic also.

[DTCwordfan]

when are we going to see disclaimers on jokes then, or for the legal accuracy in Law....or for job advice on J and E?

Or for racism on CB.....

Shi=ite, this is the thin edge of a large wedge that will seriously stifle this Chat......

[ummmm]

OMG - are people never happy?? Give him a chance...he has already said he will tweak it...

[anneasquith]

ummm. im bored with you knocking anything i post............very childish.

[ummmm]

Excuse me....I questioned one post today. Get over yourself...

[LoftyLottie]

I did make the same remark on the relevant thread Anne. I am sure the Ed will do it. Most people seem to post on the main topic anyway.

[LoftyLottie]

DT that disclaimer is quite important for the actual site owners!

[DTCwordfan]

Bring on the State Thought Control.......what happened to our concept of liberty and freedom?

I think that very few in Govenrment, or society at large when it comes to political influence, have read John Stuart Mills or TS Eliot to counter-balance the former's arguments on the Principles of Liberty and Utilianarism - and Jeremy Bentham, who is he?

No wonder we are in this legal "merde" and it is a shame to see it encroaching these fair waters.

[LoftyLottie]

I really don't see the link between a disclaimer and advice to contact a doctor and not rely on advice on here between what you have posted DT!! Night night!!

[ummmm]

They've managed long enough without it Lottie...he only did it from user pressure. Or, as I see it, Anti Sqad pressure.

[LoftyLottie]

Actually ummmm. The disclaimer always existed and then when the site changed it somehow got lost. I think it is necessary and Sqad is not part of the equation at all. In fact Sqad has been asking for it for ages.

[LoftyLottie]

I mean asking for the disclaimer!!

[DTCwordfan]

then put it right up front as any newbie signs on. "you enter at your peril. Any advice, information, or representation is merely an expression of opinion put forth by the contributor and does not hereby represent any view of the Editors or staff or AB Inc and, as such, absolves AB Inc and its representatives of any liability, etc etc......

and bingo.problem solved (may need just a yearly reminder to the sheep)

[LoftyLottie]

I have never been anti Sqad. But he's just another AB user and shouldn't be counted on as the regular AB doctor on duty.

[LoftyLottie]

DT Were you about when the disclaimer was on before. Nobody complained about it!!

[anneasquith]

i wish people would realise, this issue is NOT anti sqad, dt, your post has no relevance to this question.

[DTCwordfan]

don't personalise it, the very fact that I may pass views on oil price movements and the associated politics of the M-East could make the site equally exposed to the 'advice' being passed.

Or at a mundane level, the racing tips..........or anything else you may chose to focus on, advice on council actions, law cases, buiolding codes.

I rest my case, just make it simple or we will be bogged down in needless red tape and not even allowed to mentally 'fart' here.

[ummmm]

Lottie....I remember it. Yes, it should be there....but my first post stands. Give the Ed a chance.

Of course you're not anti Sqad Anne....that has never been apparent, even with your constant questioning of him..

[smudge]

Can't believe I'm still up!

Anyway, along with yingyang earlier, I also mentioned the possibility of placing the disclaimer on B&S, after you click on that category.

I'm not anti-sqad either - but agree with Lottie in respect of him being classed (by some) as the 'resident AB doctor' & him giving medical advice (altho' helpful to some) when they should really be contacting their own gp's.

Sweet dreams.

[DTCwordfan]

How demeaning and rude of you anne - I was not referring to sqad - on any side of the fence. If you care to read all the threads to day around this subject, which I do not think you have the time or capacity to do so, you will not find any contribution to the subject of sqad. And, damn you, the one thing that folk have complimented me on is my neutral, even handed and non judgemental perspectives I bring to serious matters. Yes, I may be flippant, but you are way out of line on that comment.

[tinkerbell23]

Not at all in keeping with the thread or disclaimer......(sorry!) its good to have a person on hand like sqad to pick his brains but obv i do contact doctors too

But of any one with any profession its good to pickpeoples brains who are in the know about something isnt it :0)
