Not a good start!

But the question is - Which people are the seekers of answers? It is quite evident that "Tara" is not actually seeking answers, but making a rather nasty attempt to discredit Jim. As for genuine seekers of information, I think you give them perhaps too little credence for the intelligence to see what is happening. At least, I hope they can sift the wheat from the chaff and see that Tara has made no more genuine contribution than Phillip. If they cannot, then they will be none the wiser whatever we might say.

> when one person stops to ask ... Jim, ... when you've made a claim you have 17 years (experience)

Then that question should be addressed to the point where Jim makes the claim. That is not what is happening here.

> you should be polite enough to answer in a professional manner

Not every question deserves a polite answer, and the question was clearly formulated to be impolite. If you don't follow that, look back and find it, and re-read it a couple of times.

The fact is, granted Jim is a bit of a "loose cannon" at times, what is more important is whether his advice makes sense. In fact, that is the only way anyone can assess the information given here. Claims are not verifiable, and as such, almost worthless.

Consider what you have published here and on Fathermag. If you merely claimed to have sorted out your phimosis problem by stretching, it would not be of great impact. However, your successive descriptions of your progress, with important and consistent details, even the "bad" bits, or problems, on each occasion, is a much more telling witness.

One single claim that you did such-and-such, no matter how often repeated rote, would not be anywhere near as useful and such perseveration as Tara's nagging, tells us - nothing. Except that her personality and approach resembles "AJ".
