some of us out here are not "shut in's" and have stuff to do other than toss insults on a board supposedly devoted to CH sufferers.
bullshit jonny - i got bogged down in the protest threads becuase i was trying to defend myself from being called anti-american by zealots on this board.
the reason i left was because this shit is stupid and counter productive - you want me to keep on trying to have a substantive debate and watch it degenerate in to name calling and personal insults.
No way. I have a fun life to attend to, im not interested in being a "web board BigShot" whith 50000 posts like you are, lol.
You guys must think i wake up and grab a protest sign or something. I went to 3 protests before the war, if you think that's a crime(it's not) then YOU are the ones that need to head off to some dictatorial country - because last time I checked in America we are supposed to be tolerant of diverse opinions and actions that fall within the law - that's why were "FREE" dumbass. and dont go bringing up the violent protests lately in relation to ME, because as i have said like 15 times I have not done that or seen that here.

If you want people to come to the convention then STF UP with all this insulting juvenile BULLSHIT and act like mature people, then maybe this would seem more like a friendly place.
Since the little political flame-war started I have had a LOT of emails and messages by folks who said they also found it was an informative board, but HOSTILE so they left ........ and would not want to attend a convention with people likely to stand in a corner and snicker at them


so think about that in relation to your measley 12 sign-ups

Title: Re: Wheres Opie?
Post by amber on Apr 12th, 2003, 1:37am
Pam...yes he is playing a saxophone.  I, too, am a musician (actually I JUST graduated today from my bachelor's of music w00t).  But his name isn't opie, it's michael.

But seriously, this picking on people thing is getting old.  The joke is dead.  Let it go.

And as far as people feeling the boards are hostile, I get the same responses from people *sigh*.  There's a big difference between speaking your mind (ie: free speech) and being a bully and being disrespectful.  One doesn't have to name call to get ones point across, and to be honest, it's a sad replacement for a real comment.
Telling someone to F off in leu of a real comment is tacky and immature.  

Rather than attacking each other about the stuff that doesn't matter, it would be a lot better for morale if we could unite on the real reason we're here - that we're in pain and we're looking for help and support from each other and the medical community.

The good thing is that a lot of new people have introduced themselves lately and have been getting good responses.  And there is help to be found here...let's try and remember that community and support is the real goal.

Off the soap box,
Amber

Title: Re: Wheres Opie?
Post by amber on Apr 12th, 2003, 2:01am
hey don (shouldn't we be pretending to sleep by now? ;))

here's the thing...a select few of you are united...and you are definitely in that group.  But I know just as many people who have IM'd me and so forth saying that the reason they are not going to the convention is because they just plain don't feel the love.  They feel disrespected and insulted a good portion of the time, so much so that I know people who have genuinely come for support and to encourage others and have left because the extra bs was too much to take.

It's really childish and it reminds me of grade school.  To make fun of others for sport and gang up on them just makes y'all look insecure and mad inside.  Whether you are or not.

I'm not even trying to defend MichaelC.  He's a grown man and he can do that for himself.  I wouldn't normally even respond to a thread like this, but I just couldn't help myself.

The people who are broke and can't go have said so, but there are just as many who aren't going because of the company.  They don't say it here because they don't want to get harped on.  MichaelC is only an example of one person in a larger group that just never speak up because of the bashing they would get.

Around here, if you don't agree with a select few people, you either don't speak, or you risk a major bashing.  Sounds more like tyranny than free speech to me.

Show the emails.  I personally don't believe you.  You chose to start a thread for a view from a protester.  Then you stooped to a low level by setting a welcome thread that took quotes out of context and intentionally set about sending sufferers away.  Of course, you also chose to remove your post.  Why is that?  Did you not want people to see what you really had to say?  If it's worth saying the first time, it's worth leaving it there.  Deal with the consequences of your actions.  

As for the convention, the people who attend actually do so because they truly do want to get recognition in the medical community.  You apparently do not care about that.  Fortunately for you, you will benefit from the outcome, without ever having to spend a dime of your own money, or a minute of your time.

Amber


Amber I have not seen any thread that has been posted about CH get ignored.  I do not see where the members of this board have not united to help a fellow sufferer, old or new.  

You make the decision on what to read and what to take and leave.  That is not my responsibility.  

Those that choose not to go to the convention because they don't feel 'loved' is their choice.  The convention is not put on for the purpose of feeling loved.  It's put on so we can get recognition in the medical community, and have speakers that are knowledgeable about our condition come and interact with us and further our own cause.

If people choose not to attend because they are insecure about whether they will be snickered at from the corner seem to me to not care too much about further cluster research and recognition.

sorry catlind, if you read the thread ... i said it was a hasty thing to do, apologised and one member asked me to take it down so as not to scare people away -
so i did, don't want to step on any turf, Scaring People off is APPARENTLY the CD Board "Gang's" job, lol

btw. the quotes were not out of context, the context of the thread was "rude and belligerent things people say on here to those of different political opinions." and that's exactly what was quoted.

and about the messages and emails cat, I can crop the relevant protions and post them, but not the names of the potential flame victims. Amber seems to have a few as well.
But i don't really feel compelled to spend time proving something that is totally obvious

Post by Wendy the Brit on Apr 12th, 2003, 4:16am
I agree with much of what Amber says. She has made me sit up and remember why I registered here in the first place. I have had quite a lot of private messages of support as well when I have received very personal insults so I can echo the views on that too. (I do not apply this to the threads where personal views are expressed about the war- a public subject with too much emotion attached to remain civilised.

Michael,whilst I do think some of the 'flak' you got there was deserved as you were inflammatory at times,I am also aware that I have used insulting language to you Michael, but my only weak excuse is that sometimes you pissed me off as I felt you were insensitive at a difficult time, and truthfully, it is all too easy to get pulled into the group mentality. This is weakness and I regret it. I will not be a hypocrite any further about this.

It does feel a bit like school to me too, you are either in with the in crowd and get protected, or if you never were 'in' or they decide you are 'out', you get support privately. I think this is again a bit like the school bully, no-one will stand up publicly in case they get attacked too or get pushed out. They disagree with what is said and feel sorry for the person but only feel able to support them in private.

The upshot of this is is that I can see why less confident people wouldn't feel able to come to a large gathering, and also why we should perhaps be a bit more gentle with new people.

My overall view remains the same. Banter, even sexual banter is fun when reciprocated. Obscene insults, directed very clearly at an individual who you do not know, and who does not know you, are not.

...he's directing movies in Hollywood....and now he's bald. He directed "The Grinch stole CHRISTmas". That movie reminds me of this site.

We are happy loving "whos". Right now the someone is trying to steal CHRISTmas and Easter from this site...and the world. The joke on them is ..... they are only stealin stuff.

With all their huffin and puffin and thuurumpin...they are only takin away the trappings and ribbons and oilwellyins from Whoville. They can never steal our essential whoness. When ya kill a who...He always comes back 3 days later.

The plot thickens and stickens and sickens when a grinch dresses up like the Easter Bunny and convinces whos to help him carry his sack. The weight sickens and saddens and baddens the who. Their whoness is blinded by their highness.

They only spoil our celebration for now. Whos live forever and forget cause they forgive.

A Grinch truly believes that our smiles come from the stuff we got.....and "stuff ain't free" they bellow!

Hug a Grinch today. He may bite yer head off. Hug him anyway.

No Easter without Good Friday.

Everyone is welcome and to date everyone has had a great time at the conventions, well, maybe except that one dude that gave a chick a ride to the Atlanta convention. Seems he wanted something for giving a ride and she said no, when it was brought to my attention I politely told him he could walk through the glass doors and leave or I could throw him through them.

He walked.

Well this is probably get me in a world of shit but I have been there before and I will be there again!

I see in this thread so much animosity towards others I cannot believe it is supposed to be a support group for Clusterheads!

Frankly I don't give a rats ass about MichaelC (opie) or other bickering I see other than it pushes away legitimate dialog re: clusters and their sufferers.

What is this board about? Is it about a group of Board Old timers jumping on people or is it about helping others thru cluster hell?

You guys and a couple of Gals  could use some soul searchiing here I suspect!

It is great that Jonny has given so much to OUCH but frankly when I see what I have read for 40+ posts I really got an OUCH between my eyes and wonder why I joined.

I also am wondering why I came back with exception to this board not being censored.

This will get this ex-marine in deep shit for speaking my mind but I only care about finding more about treatment for my damn CH and not the petty bullshit I see so far in the main threads.

My favorite Quote is "Pain is Inevitable, Suffering is Optional".

It seems that the purpose of a few of you is to make Suffering Inevitable for many once you get a dislike for them.

Nothin to smile about in my book. Grow up or find a life. Do something constructive.

Thats fine and there is plenty here to do that.

As far as the other stuff goes there is always the option of just not opening the post. The tritle of the post obviously has nothing to do with CH.

Also. If you research back in th archives you will find many names there that you see no more. The folks that built this site. Why do you no longer see some of them? Because preople like this MichaelC character were forever disrupting the board with total nonsence and never getting the gist of it. People who came on spouting away about everything but CH and support.
People who, it seems , had no where else to go so developed CH. People who persisted on voicing their views about everything but CH and support.

It is my opinion that this little boy Michael C is in that category of people. If that in fact is true, and I believe it is, then you deal with him in a direct and forcefull manner and like all the rest, he to will disappear and the board can get back to it's purpose. Dont forget that MichaelC rarely post anything about CH. or offers support in any way but token.

In many cases, as in this one, it was doubtful that some of these characters were actually suffers.

Take what you need and leave the rest.

Well I don't know the whole story.

If as Don says he is becoming nothing more than a damn distraction I would shoot him. But since that is not an option have dj kill his login.

At least the pest will need to work at new ID which can be killed each time he is a dickhead. and it keeps the clutter down and is a solution.

Endless crap will not solve this and since ya can't shoot him shoot his damn account.

Improvise, Overcome and Adapt is my motto. Have dj shoot him. If he is such a pencil prick it will be obvious again and he can be shot down again and again and so on......

This isn’t all bad, pretty silly but here I am wasting my time. ::) What it does is allow Michael to come here for his beatings. I’ve never really understood what he did that got him in all this trouble but then I miss all the good stuff.  If it’s just because he posts some naive stuff about this mess in Iraq, that’s too bad. As I have said before, he does his homework and has a decent vocabulary. Let’s give him some slack. So far, he’s a long way from some of the nasty shit we’ve had in the past.

Our friends who worry about our detour into these things, may have a point but as long as we remember to use the handy “caution, not CH related,” we’ll do all right.

When you start another masochistic thread, remember to use this little disclaimer. We’ll still be here to pounce.  :o
