Title: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by don on May 12th, 2003, 9:46pm I'm getting tired of hearing of "all the good people who have left the board" because of all "the bullshit going on" Then em bring the fuck back! I started on this board when all those "good people" were starting to fall off the board and I miss em. but there are still a lot of "GOOD PEOPLE" here NOW. The others left of their own volition. There is no more, or less bullshit going on than when I got here a couple of years ago so let all the "good people who have left" come the fuck back and voice their opinions if they wish. This board will not stand or fall based on who "COULD" be here. It will stand or fall based on who IS here. Rant over. |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Miklos on May 12th, 2003, 9:57pm The good Lord (and you, Don) knows how hard it is to agree with you. On anything! But... Read the archives, folks. The times change; the sentiments don't. Old folks cycle out. New folks cycle in. Anyone who signs up gets what they need here. Except, they don't really need Don. They need Roxy. Or Elaine. Or Margi. (Not Ree 'cause of the doggone turtle.) Or... even Frank, if you are truly desperate. Someone is here for you! Talk to them privately if necessary, but bloody well talk! Or type, if your head is screwed. |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Wendy the Brit on May 12th, 2003, 10:15pm Don A rather muted version of what you have written. I wish someone would explain exactly what they think is driving the 'good people' from the board. I know I may be being stupid and I have asked before and no-one answered me but I REALLY WANT TO KNOW. I understand the Iraq war caused real conflict here and very unfortunate things were said, and I understand that personal attacks are unacceptable and drive some people away, and make others stay and fight, and enjoy that fight. Please will someone explain clearly the behaviours that are causing this perceived problem. I for one cannot change my behaviour unless someone tells me what it is that is wrong AND NOT IN GENERAL EUPHEMISTIC TERMS like 'people here know what I mean', and 'we all know what we are talking about' I DON'T!!!!!! AND I AM NOT STUPID. IF I DON'T KNOW, I BET THERE ARE LOADS OF OTHERS WHO DON'T EITHER. Can someone please help, and it DOESN'T help sending me a private email saying 'It's Ok Wendy, it's not you'. A very frustrated W the B |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by don on May 12th, 2003, 10:23pm Those general statements you are refering to are what I suspect drive NEW people away. They are just not as "GOOD" as the the folks who pioneered this board. BULL SHIT! Unfortunately I have no clear answer for you as I to am befuddled. |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by oringkid on May 12th, 2003, 10:31pm Thank you Wendy!!! And thank you Don! It really makes some of us (me) feel bad that we (I) are not "good" people. I have seen very few people on here that are not "good" people. Whether they are "old" or "new". I too have wondered what the problem is. Yes, it hurts me to see the personal attacks, but in most cases it is either resolved or buried. I know there are some here that don't like me, however I don't know why. I also know there are some here that do like me. The reason I left for a while was because I needed to take a break....from the pain that is here, from the personal attacks, from the sadness, and due to some personal (financial) problems, but I never intended to leave forever. You people are the only people in the world who actually know the kind of pain I go through. And there is not a day that I am not amazed at the compassion and caring that comes from you people when someone needs you. There have been times that I have "put my foot in it" and gotten flamed and times I have gotten angry. Times that I have been scared shitless cuz someone spoke of ending it all and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to say the right things to turn them away. At times I may come off badly, but then, we all have those times don't we? We are all different people, from different parts of the world, with different beliefs and customs and the one thing we share is this horrible pain. It is truly amazing that we get along at all...ever! Yes, you need to develop a bit of a thick skin... but hey, what is wrong with that! I just try to remember that we are all in pain, or love someone who is in pain. I'm sorry that so many think that all the "good" people are gone. But, I don't think that those of us that are here are so bad. Enough from me. Sherry |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by stevegeebe on May 12th, 2003, 11:16pm I'm interested to see where this goes. What is being said here recalls memories of being on the outside looking in...kinda like high school. To early to say cliquish. I will check the archives. I'll bet I'll cry, laugh and find information germane to the title of this site. Same as I do now. This place cuts a section through a moving river. The boulders move. It will never be the same. I like this place. I know that it helps me even if "good people" are gone. Steve |

I don't think anyone could have phrased this better. Charlie is right. CH's are hellaciously depressing to live and deal with, you need humor and jokes or you'll drown in a mire of depressing thoughts. Nothing in life is static....not even this board. It will change and evolve like everything else in life, and I think that is a good thing.

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by fubar on May 13th, 2003, 12:48am Well, Some topics heat up and words are said. Print will never be able to convey the true flavor, inflection or true meaning of content as well as the spoken word, so this happens at an accelerated pace. People in our respective conditions tend to have irritable moments and irrational moments, and that makes it even more likely for conflict to happen. So what? I get tuned up sometimes and say things I shouldn't. Those that can't deal with it, don't participate. Some stomp away mad. However, I defy you to find a place like ours where we can actually be ourselves. We are clusterheads, God damn it. We are not normal. Don't expect us to be normal. Christ, just look at Jonny. Who would, upon reading 90% of his posts, ever know where his head (and heart) are really at? It's the 10% that they miss that counts and makes this a family. And what good would a board be without some fucking entertainment once in a while? Without it, the ones we need so much wouldn't be here nearly as often as we need them (that's like, oh, everybody). The 'crazies' (i'm one) need to be here as much as anyone else to make it work. Any good ensemble of characters has extremes on both (or several) ends of the spectrum. I'd be dead without this place. I am pretty sure that's true. I know Sandy would be. You aholes are stuck with me for a while. -Fu |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Hound_Dogg on May 13th, 2003, 8:42am Jus' my two cents (or pence).... I have this weird problem with phones. Wife can't stand it. She can talk on the phone for hours. and to someone she has just seen a few hours ago. ??? The reason I don't like talking on phones is because you can't see the other person's face. Facial expressions can turn something that sounds downright mean, into something funny. Also a lot of people obviously went to the Evelyn Wood School of speed-reading, just glancing at the post and not completely reading it. ( Which is one of the reasons I put the strange analogy into the beginning.) It's very hard to put true emotions into typed words and it is even easier to misconstrue typed words. Say what you want...I'm not going anywhere ;) |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Joanie on May 13th, 2003, 9:59am Well, I’m probably going to put my foot in it, and perhaps I shouldn’t even respond because I’m new to posting, but here goes………… It seems to me that the things that go on here on the board are no different than what happens in everyday life. What “family” out there is perfect? We fight, we love, we argue, we get moody, we laugh and cry, and sometimes we hurt each other. But at the end of the day, we are always there for each other. Everyone on this board comes from all different walks of life, different countries even, with different beliefs and subsequently, different opinions. It’s what makes the world go round and how boring if we were all alike. We all came to this board for a reason: to share knowledge, experience and support for each other in order to get through this terrible disease a little easier. The thing that makes this place great is that the laughter, opinions (right or wrong), arguing, bickering and most importantly, the caring and compassion that go on here, help to keep the beast at bay and not let it totally consume us. I don’t think any of us totally agree with everything that is posted here and certain things are going to be misunderstood. And I agree that there comes a point when certain things should be taken to e-mail. There’s an awful lot of good that comes from this board and just a little bit of not so good. As Den says, take what ya need and leave the rest…… I apologize for not posting more often, but I’m new to this whole public forum thing, and generally try to support others through e-mail. Sorry to be so long-winded……. Joanie |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by stevek on May 13th, 2003, 10:51am I guess I’m a bad person. Rather than leaving I’m posting again. I first came to this board several years ago. I have been watching but haven’t posted in awhile. My access is at work, which doesn’t always work so well (damn boss). I’m posting now because of some of the so called new people. I have truly enjoyed the newer people. I was in chat for the first time in a long time (I hope I don't get busted) I talked to someone I miss a lot and I met two new people. I think the board still does what it has always done – lets CHers know that they are not alone with this bullshit. To me that has been the most important part. Take care, Stevek |

A message board is just like life, you can react or not to people as you see fit. If you're out in public or at work do you react to every person you come in contact with? If you do react, in life or here, then don't get pissed off if you don't like the response you get. This seems to happen on all boards from time to time, I am a member on a very large board for a different problem and the spats here are nothing compared to there. els |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Elaine on May 13th, 2003, 6:49pm I said I could see Dougs point. In his post he said things are not the same around here. It's not, 100 times more people posting as Mac said its not as personal any more. It never will be again, because at first there were just a hand full of us. It was easy to be personal and get to know each other better then, than it is now. I email as many of you do, with people who have left the board. They have not really left they just don't post. I have asked them why they left and I got letters back as to why. I figure if they want everyone to know they would post it. I am not at liberty to say why everyone left. Do I agree with them leaving. If it is what they need to do then yes I agree. What ever makes one happy is what they have to do. I am still here and always will be, because I know the pain and I also know the lonelyness. I have been with another clusterhead when I was getting hit and when some of them were getting hit. Because of that I will always be here as someone told me today that is something that will keep him here forever, and it is also what will keep me here. I will never stop trying to get people involved with OUCH and I will always try to stop people from leaving the board unless I know is in THEIR best intrest. Like I posted before everything that happens here is good in its own way even if you can't see it! Do I have things here I don't like ! Yep we all do! If we didn't this thread wouldn't even be here. Do I think everyone here has clusters or is a supporter of a clusterhead? No! will I say why I think that? No cause I won't name anyone and upset them here ! If I post the reasons I will get email saying " are you talking about me? Does it make a difference to me? Only when they give out information that is dangerous or mis use of medication. Then it upsets me. Do I do something about it ? Yes I email the person who got the wrong info with what I think about a certain drug ect...and I send links. Do I get upset about OUCH ? Yes when a handfull of people work their butts off trying to get the word out so we can all some day maybe be pain free or a least get a doctor to say hey I know what a cluster is and I know what meds to try....Maybe someday the people who will get clusters won't have to fight as hard as us. It upsets me that more is not being done. If everyone that post did a little in the name of OUCH! My God we could move congress! I see what can be done here on the board. I know what can be done if we all do a little! Do I love the people here? Yes old and new? Do I have friends here yes OLD AND NEW! Does everyone on this board like me? Hell no! I don't know anyone person EVERYONE likes!!!! Do I understand the people who left ? Yes because I had those same feeling from time to time. I sure was glad there were people here who made me see change was good. I am glad I stayed! I hope I answered any questions left here if not feel free to email me any time. I don't bite I just bark a lot!!! |

I never knew that you could put mirrors on your shoes to... uh... well, you know. But then, I never knew Brit ladies wore knickers as opposed to American-style underwear. |

Contrary to rumor, I do -not- wear pale violet knickers. I wear dignified JC Penney's boxer shorts (white only). On the other hand, if we ever get a chance to meet and since you don't wear knickers, I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours. |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by don on May 14th, 2003, 9:36pm I might have just put my finger on something. Does this make sense? Back in the early days people were excited about finding a bunch of others who were CHers. It was fun, unique and exciting to share CH stories and info. Many people here now are already well informed, and that is due to the "old" guys of the MB. Swapping CH stories and ino is just not unique anymore so all the "new" folks are looking for other ways to stay connected. In my opinion, there are worse ways than humour and joking around. |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Miklos on May 14th, 2003, 9:56pm Don, I think you are very, very close. I spent three or four weeks lurking on the board. Once I committed to signing up, the world changed. Reading is not participating. I think that the more experienced board members keep themselves entertained with humorous posts while they wait for the new kids to sign-in. Once signed-in, the new person can be overwhelmed by the support that immediately becomes available. They need it; it is provided, in spades. The new kids should read everything; they do not. They want to talk, not read. Butter them up; make them read later. |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by fubar on May 14th, 2003, 10:22pm Well, I'm not sure I qualify as an 'old timer', but I have been here about 9 months. I do not think this board would survive if talk were limited to CH-only topics. Just take a look at other boards where these limitations are in place and you will see no real support happening, just the random question here and there being answered randomly at some later date. I seen 'neurology' message boards and such, and they have NO value whatsoever, in my opinion. Here, we keep the board alive and relevent. Sometimes we stray WAY off topic. I'm all for that. I get a little nervous when it becomes personal attacks, and I've even participated in those before (and it served no good purpose). I think some people have a low tolerance level for offensive material, even if it isn't directed at them. I don't know why people think every post has to conform to their set of values, so it's unfortunate if they leave because of a few people that offend them. I, for one, don't want to imagine this place any other way. The flood of support and packages I have gotten in the mail this past week was nothing short of amazing. I love this place. Thank all of you for being here. -Fu |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Ted on May 14th, 2003, 10:50pm I bet I can answer. I've been here a while. I came here and people like Ueli who understood all the shit involved with CH was not a rare thing. We studied it. We understood it. We knew all there was to know about it. We argued and debated and threw theories at each other. I remember when I was a newbie I said what my main goal was in coming here, which hasn't changed. To be as informed about CHs as GaryG was. And the belief/joke was back then that Clusters WILL be cured and cured by clusterheads since we gave enough of a shit to study them when no one else has. Well, this board's evolved/devolved, depending on how you look at it. It's gone from people studying clusters and giving a damn about the science of it to a chat room where this could very well be just a singles chat room with clusters not the point. Good or bad, that's the change that's taken place. |

Ted: I disagree. While only having been here around 6 months (besides lurking in the previous couple cycles), I have seen some changes. (or maybe I just didn't notice certain aspects while lurking) IMHO, the MB has a number of purposes: 1) Welcome new people. We were all new people at one time or another. Remember how you felt when you first read the front page? I was elated to find someone (ANYONE) that dealt with the same shit and could relate. 2) Exchange of information between new and old members. Examples of this can be seen daily. Usually this is a 'one-way street' (older members informing new members), but occasionally a new member brings something to the table that was missed/forgotten by older members. The amount of information available to new members is phenomenal and will hopefully stay that way if we don't lose too many more older members. 3) Support for members, new and old alike. Once again, I think the board is outstanding in fulfilling this purpose. Examples of this can also be seen daily. 4) Humour/Entertainment. It keeps the content from becoming too stale. It has also been said that 'Laughter is the best medicine'. It was a big reason why I decided to stick around after 'cycling-out' last time around. While some serious threads digress, often a new thread is set-up to replace the old thread so the person that began the original thread is not forgotten/ignored. 5) "singles chat room" as you put it. I think that this inevitable, regardless of whether you (or anyone) agree with it or not. As far as being a "just a singles chat room with clusters not the point", I don't see that at all. One of the aspects that I don't agree with is personal attacks. just my 2 cents worth, grant |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by cathy on May 15th, 2003, 3:14am Elaine you have made some good and valid points here and in your last post you are serious and then end with a joke, isn't that the same as everyone else is doing. ??? I have seen serious posts turn into jokes but I have also seen the person who posted the original post, tag onto the post saying how much it has cheered them up and what a great place this is, I also think when a post is of a serious nature people respect that and do not turn it into a tit for tat joking thread, on the wholeI think they get there post answered and a laugh thrown in as well. ::) If you want serious I can do that too, just think it'd make a very sad, self pitying board thats all. :-/ I think if the people who leave explain exactly what has pissed them off clearer, then we can start to make this board good for everyone, I know if I were pissing someone off here I'd want to know, at least then I could try to make amends, can't do that if noone says anything..... I know if I needed help, advice or a shoulder to cry on I would have it heretoo, what more could one ask for....laughs, tears, support, information, abuse, constructive critisism (sp)...... In another thread, margi refer's to the good old days when things were more personal and everyone knew each other, ie phone calls etc, well I have other clusterheads phone numbers and I do talk to people all over the world now, thanks to this site, I also have addresses. Okay so theres alot more people now, thats a good thing in my opinion, not a bad thing. I think this board is the best, I just think people should stop looking for problems that arn't there.

But, as you said, you've only been here a brief time and don't know what the old board was all about. I was trying to answer that question of what it was all about (an exchange of info then wasn't as basic as"use a non-rebreather mask") and stating the change is neither good nor bad.

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by CJohnson on May 15th, 2003, 7:49am I am hardly qualified to remark on this topic, as I have only been here for 1.5 months, however, I would like to express the following speculation/sentiment: The feeling of this board in the old days was of a fellowship of noble scholars and warriars seeking the Holy Grail, or to destroy the One Ring (Arthurian legend, and Lord of the Rings references.) Now the feeling is more akin to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It is easy to to be engrossed in a topic when much of the information is largely unexplored, and everybody is relatively uninformed. When the pupose is noble, even greater delight is taken. Unfortunately, there is only so much information available to laymens such as myself and, probably, nearly everyone else here. Once the new and relevant information, which already exists, is exhausted, it becomes a matter of passing the time until new information becomes available. It seems important to keep the board alive and its distinguished members mustn't disband so that when relevant new information is revealed, it can be discussed and dissected to the benefit of all CH sufferers. The quest is still noble, the foe remains mighty, the challenge continues to be daunting, and the participation of our best and brightest is our greatest advantage. For those of you who battled before me, I await your return, that you might, now, battle with me. -Curtis |

No more Ouch... Now what do you do... The board is what it is... It is a great symbol of our great country and the freedom that we offer here to voice opinions no matter big or small is unbelievable...The fact that ONE man started all this also boggles my mind every day. How great is that!!! In my opinion coming here for all these years now I'm in my third. I get tired of hearing when someone is leaving. To me its almost like threatening suicide... Most people that do that leave a note and do it... They dont call ahead... If they want to do it they just do... In recent weeks I have lost a friend to suicide again... He just did it... This constant saying Im leaving if I dont get my way here... "because I disagree"... "Nothing is the same"... Is a cry for attention... A way to find out if we will be missed ... I too have threatened long ago when I didnt like the way I was treated only to find that the person flaming me would have missed me the most. We have so many lurkers here its pathetic... I've had emails from people I have never even seen on the board... each member here has their own personality... some like each other some don't... as E said Im sure there are people that get sick of me too...(lots probably but too bad) When you come down to it thats what is great... We have that choice here to "take what we need and leave the rest..." and we should... I love it here Im not leaving I think when we whine we disrespect what is most important... that we have each other... just me lovin this board for what it is... ree |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Margi on May 15th, 2003, 8:54am uh, Ted - your best post ever. You nailed it. And, as to the humour thing. That's really not what Elaine was saying at all gang. The evolution of the board is a serious topic and needs serious attention. All she was saying is that THAT is not a joking matter. Elaine is one of the funniest gals I've ever had the pleasure to meet - she has a delightfully naughtly sense of humour! You think the oldtimers didn't joke? In the archives, you can find Drummer's Mr. Winky post. Or Jack Boyd and his Peruvian Butterfly fart theories, Or Dennis O'Connor's and Georgia Whatshername's posts about aliens and Winnie the Pooh and God knows WHAT the heck they were talking about, Or the Bob and Hub Show. Or Paco and his hot sauce experiences, Or Kip and the rottweiler, No.....we didn't joke at ALL back then. ::) Humour IS great medicine - we recognized that right off the bat, folks. SO not the point of Elaine's post. In fact, THIS is one of the problems of the new board. Because of the structure and the inability to see the big picture of a thread as we used to....folks pick up on just one post that is 4756 levels down into the thread and go off on a tangent. The new format is so detailed and huge that I think a lot of us just don't have the time (or desire?) to dig through all the levels to read every original post anymore. Things get taken out of context that way and wars erupt. We've become WAY too politically correct here. We are too tolerant of intolerance. There is bullying going on here and not many (myself included) have the gonads to do anything about it. I think THAT single fact is what is driving a lot of people away and that, in turn is spawning apathy for OUCH. Yes, ch.com and OUCH are separate - like a husband and wife are separate beings. But one falters, the other one will too. K, shutting up now. And if ya believe that (that I'm shutting up)......I got some ocean front property right here in Alberta for sale..... |

Why they left is "to each his own". I will say that I do miss them......lots!!! I miss Paco, Navygunner, Kip, Drummer and many others. They were here handing out help and good advice when I came here looking ...trying to save my hubby (into my 4th year now...I think). Back in the "old days" the board was a bit more serious. Now... don't get me wrong, there was plenty of joking and funny stuff going on . We had some good down and out brawls too. Read the archives... :D The problem I see today is....people (newbies or maybe oldtimers) put up a post...it's serious to them because they have a point to make or a question/problem they need help with. Most often (not always) it takes only a few post and the whole thread has turned into a bunch of bull shit. I'm sure they didn't put the post up intending to be the straight guy for a bunch of comedians. Dont' get me wrong....laughter is the best medicine but when is enough enough ??? How often do we miss a valid point or comment because we get tired of wading through the so called jokes? I know for a fact that some people really don't appreciate having their threads turn into a practice session of a bunch of one liners .....especially when it goes on and on and on...Now, don't everybody get all "bent"...I'm not pointing fingers...hell, I'm a culprit too. I just think we might show a bit more respect...bring them along with a little kindness and compassion... then give them the flame treatment and our version of twisted humor.... ;D Ted, good post...I agree with you...E, you too....and Ree...and several others...lots of valid points made :D I'll hush now....I'm just a supporter so what the fuck do I know ;D Jacks 8) Oh....Shut up, Don....you started this mess of a thread... ;) ooops...Margi, your post jumped up in front of me...damn, you're good...Yep, what she said too... :D |

Walk into a hospital in the early 80s and ask for oxygen to treat a cluster headache and they would have lookd at you like you have a third eye in the middle of your forehead. Triptans? I may be wrong but I don't believe there was any imitrex, maxalt, zomig, etc. back then. If I am wrong, at least I can rely on you to correct me (or attempt to). Oh...BTW... BTW... Just what groud-breaking theories did you come up with back then? Also, I don't see you or any of the other 'old-timers' making gazillions off these new meds.

I was under the impression that what was done here....helping each other. This board has had over six MILLION hits....it will never go back to the little MB on the corner.....was this not the goal?

I really doubt anything you all say can run me off. I am a Clusterhead and suffer the worst pain known to man....yall's mouthy words aint shit! I am one tough mutherfucker after 30 years of the worst pain known. If your have CH you are already tougher than most everybody else. How can a few words written in anger or stupidity run a clusterhead off from here. Is there someplace to go? I have spent the last couple of months digging through the archives for a couple of CH related projects. I have read hundreds of posts from the "good old days". From my point of view the only thing that has changed is there are many more people aware of this MB. The arguments are the same...go and look for yourself. I think we may be having a "good old days" syndrome. Personally I do not miss the good old days, I got rid of my rose colored glasses. People come and go....in life ...and MB's.

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Margi on May 15th, 2003, 11:12am exactly my point, grant - something taken completely out of context and taken literally when it wasn't meant as a single thought. (This copy and paste feature of this new board has caused more problems than anything. ::)) If you read the whole paragraph, Ted is describing the feeling we all had in those days. We felt bulletproof and like pioneers because of all the commonalities we were finding in each other. I'm sure the first guy who struck gold figured HE'd found the motherload, too. I'm sure he figured he "knew it all" too. It's an expression of a feeling - not a declaration that there is nothing more to learn. |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Miklos on May 15th, 2003, 4:43pm It is too bad that Mrs. Holloman had to retire. This has been a week of reading lots and lots of hexadecimal printouts. Can you spell tedious? In between printouts, I have been reading the posts in the 2000 archives which include many of the classroom exercises. Hysterical! And, occasionally informative. I am still trying to find the one that included the internet food fight. My point? They were fun, informative and created a remarkable comaraderie. Those people who found it distasteful or unhelpful should have skipped to a "serious" topic of which there were many. P.S. Can I change my monicker to VD? Anyone who uses that nickname should expected trouble going in. I am probably not tough enough to live through the abuse she deservedly received. On the other hand, I have had my stupidity shots. (Well, there are a few more shots in the series, but I am less stupid than yesterday.) |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by catlind on May 28th, 2003, 7:01pm I'm not sure if I'm glad I missed this thread or not. What the MB was, what the message board is, what it will always be, is a home for clusterheads to no longer believe they are alone. Beyond that, I don't suppose I have anything to add to much of what has already been said. Elaine is very right though folks. OUCH is in danger of not doing it's job. No matter what else we do here in CH ville, we must keep in mind that we all need to work together towards the cure, or at the very least, towards an acceptable treatment. Blah, maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut, I'm one of the newbies, but I care about the people here. I'm saddened by many that have recently just left. I wish some of the ones who were very active when I got here weren't so inactive anymore. I wish none of us ever had experienced this pain. Cat |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Wendy the Brit on May 29th, 2003, 12:24am nancy Sorry, only just picked up your question. Cathy's reply was right, it's all a bit old now but it related to messages in threads where several of you kept talking about b..shit on the board and complaining about it, using 'catch all' and very general unsecific words but NONE of you were actually saying what it was you were unhappy about. I was getting very frustrated because how could I or anyone else recognise the behaviour that was annoying people and change it if no-one was prepared to be specific about what it was!!! The best analogy I can think of is if tell my little boy 'don't be naughty', I can't expect him to stop unless I tell him which bit of his behaviour I don't like, and what I would prefer him to do instead. Sorry Nancy, if you were told it was a personal attack from me to you, it wasn't! It was a (at the time, not now) someone feeling like we were all having our wrists slapped but not knowing what we had done wrong! W the B |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Pinkfloyd on May 29th, 2003, 2:12am Nobody asked me but here goes...only because I actually like some of you here :-) I've been reading this board since '98. I haven't been very active here for many reasons, most of which revolve around all my time being taken up on other boards and projects concerning clusters. Just a few notes, FWIW, most of which very few will like. I'm sure I'll be asked if I don't usually post here why do make an exception just to make negative remarks? So, I'll answer that one before I even get to the remarks. 1. Because I can.. 2. Because I see here a few people asking for legitimate reasons why there are problems and I see some people that "really" are interested in making things better. So..I make the following remarks for them...not to take a swipe at anyone in particular..although I may as I go.. 3. Actually I view these as positive remarks. If it was being poste din a negative vein, trust me when i tell you that it would be worded much differently. Food for thought.... There are over 4000 people that have registered at this new site. That doesn't include the thousands (I'm guessing) that used to post and never registered at this new board. You have about 20 people coming to the national? convention? And you ask why, as if this was a message board for the blind. Most of the posts in this thread suggest everything is just peachy. Is this a "family" of over 4000? Sure is a crummy turnout for a family BBQ. Maybe 3900 people have the impression that it's really only a weekend to see if the "king" can get laid? You have someone working her ass off on this convention, and have set an atmosphere on this board that draws 20 people......but everything is just fine....things change and evolve...? I've been waiting (as have many others) since 98-99 for things to evolve into a place where people can feel comfortable. In my opinion, FWIW, people here that are happy with this evolution have no idea of what it could have been by now.......its importance as it stands in the cluster world, not withstanding. I'm sure its far beyond DJ's wildest dreams now. If you think *this* is what all DJ's and other's hard work, sweat and tears deserves, you disrespect him and everyone else (in some cases yourselves) that has ever worked on this site's content. I can tell you this, from my experience here and other boards. You chase away one poster by humiliation and flames, you chase away probably 20 lurkers that were waiting to feel comfortable enough to make their first post. Some of the people that have been here the longest and have done much good work, are also responsible for completely disrespecting the work done by countless others, by chasing away (in a very nasty way BTW) anyone you don't like. The ones here longest know the hours/days/weeks/years of hard work done here. Why make this a place where so few want to stay and enjoy the benefits of that work. It's like pouring your heart out into a book and then sending off a letter to every publishing house, telling them you hate the publishing industry, "hey BTW will you publish my book?" end part 1..... |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Pinkfloyd on May 29th, 2003, 2:13am continued..... You come to the rescue of one of your friends as if you're pouncing on raw meat and you're starving. Maybe someone here HAS helped 100 people. HAS spent hundreds/thousands of dollars helping people (that they liked). Great. How many people might have been helped by the 1000 people (posters & lurkers) that were chased off, never to be heard from again? Do you think the atmosphere here is one that would attract doctors to post regularly? I am on a headache that is and have just as much joking going on. Its not the jokes people. I know you don't want this to become a "medical" board per se. But wouldn't it be nice to tell a few doctors and researchers how you feel once in a while? The joke is on the people that are here and have been here that have worked their asses off to make this site the best informational site around on clusters. You may think that's a great thing, and it is in itself. But consider what could be done if it was more than 30 or 40 people on a rotating basis, getting burned out and just plain tired of the BS. How strong would OUCH be? Believe me when I tell you I know all the arguments...."Do I know that he/she has paid for 10 people to join OUCH?" Do OUCH a favor and keep your money and help change the atmosphere here. If he/she hadn't personally chased off 500 prospective OUCH members...they would have joined. "Take what ya want and leave the rest?" Well, they're leavin alright. Good riddance ya say, you don't need em anyway? Did you ever stop to think someone else might need them? Too bad that no one here that knows the problems (the real problems) can even put them down in writing, in fear of what they KNOW would happen. Look at the turnout for the convention in Britain. And don't give me crap about it being a small island so they don't have to drive far....what a slap in the face *that* was. Go ahead and make fun of and chase away with malice, every "suspected" migrainer, everyone that doesn't have the stomach for the BS. Everyone that can't stand seeing other people treated like shit. You talk about this being like a family...like the real world where some people just don't get along. Well, a lot of people come here with their cluster problems and personal problems caused by life with clusters.....because they KNOW the real world sucks and they see people treated like shit every day of their lives. Why come here and see it continue. Obviously everyone isn't going to agree or even like each other. Why disrespect the board and trash it like the mens room stall on a tollway....every day. You disrespect yourselves and those before you that have done an emmense amount of good work here by not making it a place for the masses to feel welcome. The worst part is that those that could change things....don't. Yes, these boards always evolve and "good people" come and they go...always. Many times though they leave happy and just evolve themselves. I think that its a sad fact that many good people have left here before anyone ever even *knew* they were good people. I certainly couldn't and shouldn't change anything here. Respect yourself, respect this place and the people in it and people that just knock on your door. Respect the work by yourselves and others and you can make this message board one that could change the lives of many more people suffering with clusters, rather than reflecting the real life world they deal with every day off the board. I know that's what you ALL want. Maybe I'm wrong....who knows...those are just my views and I've worn glasses since I was 12. "wish you were here" Pinkfloyd |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by nancyc on May 29th, 2003, 4:25pm Wendy, my comment was exactly what I said..there is alot of bs that runs some good people off..i am not one that has left though, i have just had alot of tramatic stuff going on...i have learned over the years to pray for those that hurt others....this is something that is not new to the mb though..it is not something that has recently started..it has been going on for years...i used to come here when getting hit and get so hurt that the attacks seemed to worsen from all the fussing and fighting...i have tried over the years of being here to support folks...wheither it be in phone calls, sending meds to those hurting, emails or even going to see folks just to use their blenders LOL..that one was for you Don! Anyway, there is bs in all walks of life..i just hate to see someone hurt by words or attacks wheither it be here or anywhere...we are here to support not hurt...my comment to Doug was to acknowledge that I too have had some hurtful moments here ...it was in no way to point fingers....But I have had more support than hurt from this place I still call HOME...If I have offend anyone by understanding what Doug was going thru, I am sorry....but that is just how i am...i love all of you guys and gals...I feel guilty sometimes that i have not been around to support like I used to but again it is not because of you people..it is because i have had a full plate here at home...know i love you all and thank God we have a place to come to get support for this terrible demon...God knows we dont usually get it from anywhere else except from our immediate families..i know most folks in this world think we just have a headache and need to go sleep it off...again, i am not here to argue or cause confusion...there is enough of that in this world..i will shut up now...smiles,nancyc |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by Wendy the Brit on May 29th, 2003, 4:44pm Hi Nancy I hear and understand. I try to be good but sometimes I post without thinking it through. I feel a bit shamefaced now so....... Pink Floyd- Sorry I was a bit rude. Could you be a bit more succint next time, because I found it very hard to get your message. I really tried but got very confused by so much. I want to know what people are trying to say, but I found it difficult with your posts. W the B |

Title: Re: Bring em the fuck back............. Post by jonny on May 29th, 2003, 5:19pm Nah!!!, Wendy, this is about to get good. It has nothing to with you and all to do with why Pinky never had the balls to mention my name in his long, boring posts. Do you think that DJ is not watching this board Pinky, I can assure you that he is.....Do you think that if I was out of line he wouldnt tell me?. You damn right he would, this is his house and he makes the rules. Only 20 going to the convention?, try 30 dipshit.....ever think that the economy is so bad most people cant afford to travel?.....Dickweed! 4000 registered on this site....Hmmmm, ever wonder how many ended up here by accident or were meegrainers and left or were snakeoil salesmen or ass-holes here just to start shit?..............Your numbers suck!!!! Get your shit straight and by the way....try spending some time on this site before you judge a god damn thing. Im here everyday!!!!!!!!!! ........................jonny |
