You should really ping someone when you are talking about them.

You're funny. When we challenge YOU to provide evidence, you throw out the newbie label. You have not provided anything to support your claim that growth hormone causes early puberty. I have provided several reference that indicate there is no study, no data, nothing. Just a bunch of talking heads expounding a hypothesis. So, the next logical question, how many times have you been a newbie here?

I don't know how to ping someone or what that really means. I've seen people post "ping" a lot but I don't know what that means. Also trying to figure out how you do that answer/reply thing with the italics, so my posts don't come out so ugly with all the "+++++" symbols.

I didn't throw out the newbie label when you challenged me for evidence. I said I didn't have the evidence and told you what I remembered (we've been over this). I threw out the newbie label because I was being up front about the fact that I don't exactly know all the "rules" around here and have been getting comments that imply that I should justify myself to the board and get my "conservative" girl-scout badge before my views are considered valid or that maybe I don't belong here (and frankly speaking, I'm beginning to think maybe I don't! I could copy posts of mine that you might consider qualifies as being in line with *your* ideology, and I considered it before deciding 'WTF? I don't need to defend myself to this person!') Fact of the matter is I don't agree with YOU so you're trying to make an issue out of ME rather than simply stick to the issue at hand. I pulled a quote out of the same article you did that supports my claim. It's easy to dismiss any study as "talking heads expounding a hypothesis". I could easily dismiss the links you posted as the same. Yesterday is the first time I have posted to Free Republic. And it certainly has been an experience. You people need to chill, imho!

Thought I'd share some of the FreeRepublic guidelines since I've just read them. Perhaps a brushup is in order:

Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars...it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.

Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.

Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.

So, the next logical question, how many times have you been a newbie here?

Heee, he, he...watch him (her? likely "him") flame out spectacurally.

BTW, Love your posts, and good job with your squewering analysys!
