      I was looking through my old discussions today to reminisce about the shocking level of my delusional woo. I came across this thread and laughed through the whole thing. I miss my woo troll buddies...I'll have to recruit disagree buddies now.

      Mine are downright embarrassing! WOO to me!

      For that you get a "disagree" previously known as woo which in this thread was WOO HOO.

      So many of my favourite MFPers in one truly snarky thread! This was just what an ill in bed kat needed.

      @PAV8888 I think it's because 'disagree' feels like 'disapprove' or 'don't like' which, as you point out, is not the same thing in the least. Whereas 'woo' was fully ambiguous (which is why it was changed, I believe...).

      My partner had a yoga teacher who tried convincing him that our son's autism could be cured by yoga. So many woos there. (His response was something along the lines of 'that's not how autism works' and not going to that class much longer.)

      The woo was strong in that Yogi!

      Almost went for Inspiring for partner's response!

      I saw an anti-vax person claim to be a Registered Nurse and told someone to drink organic grape juice to cure a stomach virus before running a 5k.

      One thing that will usually do it, I have to acknowledge, is bringing up having had cancer, then optionally adding something vaguely encouraging.

      I don't recommend getting cancer, though: It was my worst hobby ever. :#

      So lie, I guess.

      @AnnPT77 -- you made me laugh! I, too, have become much more inspiring on here since my colon cancer diagnosis. Btw, I clicked on the "inspiring" tag for your post.
