FROM MED HELP - RE: THANBEY

Teresa Hanbey is the Executive Director of "Hepatitis C Outreach Project". I have personally spoken with Ms. Hanbey and find her to be extremely knowledgeable. Some of you said that she posted something on Med Help claiming to be a doctor.  I have searched through as many postings as I can find in our Hep. Forum and do not see that she has ever made such a claim.  
In addition, some of you are concerned that she is trying to somehow get you to leave Med Help and go to her website.  For the record, she doesn't offer online Forums or Chat areas on her website. A number of you have posted threats and extremely nasty comments such as:

EXAMPLE 1) Concerns re: thanbey:  "Right I've had enough of this lets shoot thanbey. It'll only take 2 bagsey the grassy knoll!"

MED HELP WILL NOT TOLERATE DEATH THREATS AGAINST ANYONE AT ANY TIME!
-----------------------------
EXAMPLE 2)  "...She is condecending, a know it all troll, and quotes clinical studies that only her web site can link to."
------------------------------
How dare you call this woman a "troll"?  Ms. Hanbey spends every single day doing her best to help people with Hepatitis. You are entitled to disagree with her ideas, but you are NOT entitled to viciously attack her in an open Internet forum!
How many of you come here expecting everything to be free and then have the audacity to attack Ms. Hanbey for her $17K salary! I think she deserves 10 times that amount! How long will resources like Ms. Hanbey's & Med Help be around if the very people who USE THEM aren't willing to support them?
