You aren't getting "flamed", Derrick, it's just that 99% of people here have had a different experience with the Shilala beads than you have, so when you rip on the beads, they feel ok with posting their positive experiences. It would be like the eBay seller with the 99.9% positive rating, but the one buyer says he's a "crook". I think all the regular readers here are aware of your negative feelings towards the beads....they can disagree with you without being "flamers".
