An unfortunate case...

I think the biggest trouble here is that there are so many very sincere people all fighting for nobel and worthy causes, but at odds with eachother.
I know some of the ISAC ppl for decades and believe they're totally dedicated and sincere. I also think they got a little hoodwinked here lately. But that doesn't make them evil people.
I don't know Titsch at all, except by way of what he's said about himself. I actually like the guy. Won't swear to anybody that he's not up to something. But I haven't seen any sign of it myself.
Don't know you either, Melissa, except from forum postings. But I think you're a damned good kid trying to assist the injured in a train wreck that you barely got out of intact. My advice to you would be to take your time.
I know it seems like a dire emergency and something MUST be done NOW to save these families, foil the villians and all. But the fact is that this has been going on for over 30 years. Just tip the ball when it comes into your zone, pace yourself, don't let WWASP or anyone else take from you anything more than you want to give. If you don't know Titsch or ISAC well enough to trust them, don't trust them. Wait. Watch. Think. Make up your mind when you've got enough info and you're comfortable with your conclusions.
Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.

Prime example, folks. No one's talking about Carey or PURE here, asshole! We're talking about something important. Seems you'd rather we only ever talk about this stupid brawl of yours instead. Why is that? Are you afraid if we forget all about your little feud we might stumble onto something you'd rather we didn't notice?
The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, involved in many kinds of motivation, among other functions. The hypothalamus controls the "Four F's": 1. fighting; 2. fleeing; 3.feeding; and 4. mating.

But it seems like this is all about Carey, PURE, ISAC, and WWASP. I don't see anon as being OT.

Sorry, I must have skipped over that comment.
Carey is allowed here for all the same reasons anyone else is. Frankly, if I were going to ban anyone for bad conduct, some of the people who've been so obnoxious toward her would be the first to go.
But I'm not going to ban anyone. Who am I to tell you what you may or may not read or write? And why would I want to spend time and energy trying to untangle all these messy conflicts and then engage in a game of cat and mouse trying to keep people from saying what they want?
It's up to you, the reader, to decide what to make of anything you read here.
If there's a worse idea going than locking people up for drug use, it's probably locking them up in close proximity to some tyranical altruist who wants to 'help' them with a problem that probably doesn't exist
