     Jerry,

        You understand there are limitations under U.S. Law on how far
    "opinion" can be expressed before if becomes defamatory. If you were
    a "physician", I would take you to the ethics committee of the AMA, or 
    worse. The public citizen link to one of many articles on Medical 
Malpractice,
    about New York's most dangerous and undisciplined doctors.   
 
    http://www.publiccitizen.org/congress/civjus/medmal/articles.cfm?ID=9146

         If anyone has read my lawsuit against the N.Y. Times or the contents
     of my website (where I've reviewed over 70 texts & training videos on 
the
     motion picture filmmaking industry) , which is the truth, you will find 
my 
     reply to Mr. King. as a professional was polite.   

         The Milkovitch case which Justice Stevens cited is one of two First
      Amendment cases that belong to this list. It held that a newspaper does
      not immunize itself from a libel action simply by couching its 
accusations as
      "opinion."  Chief Justice Rehnquist observed:  
                        Since the latter half of the 16th century, the common 
law
                         has afforded a cause of action for damage to a 
person's
                         reputation by the publication of false and 
defamatory
                         statements. 

                         In Shakespeare's Othello, Iago says to Othello:  
                         Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,  
                         Is the immediate jewel of their souls.  
                         Who steals my purse steals trash; 
                         'Tis something, nothing; 
                         'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to 
thousands;  
                         But he that filches from me my good name  
                         Robs me of that which not enriches him,  
                         And makes me poor indeed.
      
         I took on two law firms at once, alone, in that instance. My energy
     level is notorious, around the world, from Nato to the U.N.. Only that
     allowed me to accomplish what no other person in the history of this
     country had done to that time. It has hardly diminished. 
                             
          Your reply did not aid communications or clarification of the 
issue.
      Please take caution in the future.                  
                                                                     Pamela
