Is Flash gone forever?

I'd like to send Flash "thanks" for something he did for me. I see he's still in the member profile. I sent an e-mail to the address given there but it bounced back.
Did he leave here for good (or for whatever?)

Even when he's here he doesn't come to this board. He sticks to the meds and cluster specific boards.
Maybe try that way

Here's his most recent post, nearly 2 months ago.....

The BOT OUCH UK will be delighted to note that this is my last post on this (or any CH related) subject. You win Mo! Keep up the good work 
***
This is how the situation has concluded:
OUCH (UK) has issued a statement this time prohibiting all talk of LSA, RC seeds, HWB seeds, and MG seeds in addition to mushrooms and LSD.
They also (inadvertantly) acknowledged that 1/3rd of their membership do not have Internet access.
The have stated that if 50 people were to compile detailed DAILY diaries of their LSA usage over a 3 year period, then they'd pass these on to Goadsby to review, and depending on the outcome they might change their minds and support this treatment. LMAO.
Where do they expect to get 50 people with LSA experience from, when nobody is permitted to mention LSA???
They have repeated their trick of sending a letter to the Home Office, and posting the reply along with their interpretation of that reply, yet ommitting the original letter.
They've done likewise with reference to MS charities, although it should be noted that cannabis is now a legal a prescribed drug for MS in the UK... thanks mainly to MS campaingers, so that statement is somewhat null and void.
You may also be interested to know that OUCH UK had 1600 members. Given that a third of them do not have Internet access then that's AT LEAST 500 PEOPLE THAT OUCH UK IS WITHOLDING INFORMATION ON A PROMISING TREATMENT FROM. What if one (or more) of those 500 people were to take their own life?
Word on the street is that their next step will be to ban all proponents of this treatment from their membership.
So, back to square one.
To reiterate (just one last time), my personal issues with this are:
1) The BOT at OUCH UK are self appointed, and there is no means of deselecting them unless they choose to resign. There are no elections.
2) OUCH UK pertains to be the official mouthpiece for CH in the UK. Yet they do nothing to support this promising treatment, and if anything they appear to do everything to undermine it.
3) They have banned their own members.
4) As has been demonstrated, there is no legal issue whatsoever with discussing this treatment on an Internet forum. This is a matter of fact not a matter of opinion.
5) As has also been previously demonstrated, charities in the UK already exist to promote the use of illegal drugs, and to campaign for changes in the law. Campaigning for research on these substances, would not risk OUCH UK's charitable status. That is also a matter of fact not a matter of opinion.
Now, to all you lurkers from the UK, who contact me by phone, email, or PM... it's time to stand up and be counted. I refuse to do this anymore. Fight your own battles.
DJ - please delete my account like I previously PM'd asking you to. I really mean it. I have nothing constructive left to offer the world of cluster headaches. Thank You. |

I consider Flash a friend, but bitching about OUCH-UK really has no place on this site. This is not an OUCH site.
Thats just my opinion, we all have them

Why is it so important to him about Ouch UK when we have a big wide world here? I am a little behind on this I guess. That he would separate himself and abandon US because of the strict rules of another board is beyond my understanding.....
miss ya flash.....ree

Ah, the Saw Doctors !
One of my favorite bands. I've seen 'em a couple times.
"Best of Friends" is one of those songs that only guys can fully appreciate, me thinks (being a guy and all)
Not surprised to hear Flash is a fan.
Everyone should give them a listen this friday.
Hope you're well Squanto
