Digital Davo wrote an interesting editorial on Galderma wanting to control the rosacea market and I posted a remark that I thought his editorial on Galderma was interesting.  Dave then posted this comment after my initial comment:

“The NRS has a list of sponsors that allows the NRS to pursue their educational campaigns. Galderma appears at the top of the list and has been there for many years of course.”

I then posted a comment about the NRS which is shown above and captured a screen shot of it before Dave removed my post above along with his previous comment about the NRS which initiated the above post and was in harmony with his changing the subject to the NRS. Then Dave said I wasn’t allowed to comment on the RRDi or the NRS anymore and removed the above post along with his previous post about the NRS.  Here is my editorial on this topic.
