Hey maybe take it down a bit? It’s not absurd that they aren’t providing medical services. Right now it feels like you just want to shit on them as much as possible and your responses quickly shifted from “feedback” to “fuck you”.

Tone policing is not really the best move here, especially considering all the hubbub is specifically around a medical term that seems to have been inserted as a hook instead of as a meaningful signifier of the kinds of services the company purports to provide. If tone policing were appropriate anywhere it would be in the marketing lingo and copy of the company in question.

It’s not tone policing, it’s noise policing. Really, you got a thread with two unrelated people arguing exactly the opposite from one another.

You should go upthread and argue with this guy, seems like the two of you are at the same level of yelling-for-fun
> You are not providing licensed medical services. Just come out and say it, since it's true.
You are providing medical services, trying to claim you aren't is absurd. Changing the wording to claim you aren't to avoid legal liability is exactly the kind of deception people are calling you out on.
