Title: Solution for Svenn - Flame away
Post by jminmilwaukee on Sep 11th, 2003, 8:10am
Ok all, I know this will bring on the wrath of the board but WTF?!?

Is Sven 10 years old? Passing notes to the board through a friend? Just can't handle the fact that some people are jsut not nice?

I know I am not alone on this but I am the only one with enough balls to say it. This is simple dumbfounding.

ANyway, I suggest that Svenn put his puter skills to work and create a "Friends of Svenn" message board. You can only be a member if he invites you and can be booted at anytime for saying something that is hurtfull.

Anyone else find this to be juvinile or is it just me?

flame away......

Some people just aren't that thick skinned as others I guess, I hate mean people, but have learned that it does no good to get upset, just rise above it and keep my mouth shut, if I want to say something, I will, we all have a dark side to us, and we have to realize that on any given day, someone just MIGHT be having a bad day and may say mean to us or say something "hurtful"...I somewhat agree with you, if you can't fight your own battles, then you just need to sit on the sidelines and watch the world go by you.  

Oh geez, I hope I didn't offend anyone... ;)

Svenn is a careful character.

I don't think he wants to get in the middle of our little fracases because like me, he has no real idea WTF started this last silliness and doesn't want to post something he may regret.  

We Scandinavians are a touchy bunch. Swdes like me are too mean to stay away though.   ::)

I suspect he'll be back after he gets out.  :D

I have tried never to flame anybody.

Svenn is a caring friend. I don't like posts like yours, milwaukee.

That's all.

Post by jminmilwaukee on Sep 11th, 2003, 3:24pm
I too am Scandinavian and I respect your opinions.

All I am trying to point out is WE ALL have opinions. Some smell stronger then others but this whole PC thing has gotten way outta hand.

If we were all sweet little fuzzy creatures then the whole world would have Trouble with Tribbles. (If you don't know, don't worry bout it).

Perhaps we should install an ignore button on the board. Then we can all help and deal with only those who we agree with. We can form clubs and give them catchy names. Hell, why not let only blond haired blue eyed white people with the same ideals chat here?

Yes, a sheltered life is a carefree one. It just sucks that "walking on eggshells" is the order of the decade.

My opinion (remember, I respect yours) is take the parts that you like from the board and ignore the rest. I'd love that trukey wing and can see those gibblets but don't care to eat them, I'll just have the wing thank you.

If you see the gibblets and are sooo disgusted that you have to leave the table then so be it. It just all seems very childish to me.

But then again, what do I know, I could be wrong.

Thin-skinned my ASS!


The thin-skinned ones have left a long time ago. After maybe 2 or 3 posts.  This is about the old-timers here.  The ones who have left after a VERY long time because of bull-shit overload.  I hope all the newcomers realize that it's a culmination of things.  Not one in particular.  

The old-timers here are what made this board what it is today.  A place to go to be accepted.  A place to go for the best information on these headaches anywhere in the world.  A place to go to laugh, for support in the middle of the night. A venue where we can all make friends with certain individuals who will call us when we don't check in.   THEY are what made this a place that we all call family.

It is so sad that so many are gone now. I hope you newcomers will come to realize this.

Svenn, just come back damit.

Steve G, who is tired of hearing this crap and who can't wait to have plenty-o-stars so he can complain about how all the good people are gone and how we made this site what it is.

I guess I shall go to the archives and read all the past posts by the stalwart family members and wind up cutting my wrists.

Linda,

I should know better than to have sent it with that tone and imply that you were the sole target of its content and for that, I am sorry.  

I don't know the people that are missed because they are not here anymore, including Sven.

So if any of you veterans are reading this, make all of our day(s) and join in.

Start it off Svenn,  You're (all) needed and missed.

Post by brain_cramps on Sep 12th, 2003, 5:45am
I didn't realize that Svenn had the right and/or power to take down the post that he was offended by.  ::)

The only person that can remove posts is DJ and he only does that ONLY when he sees fit.  That is the reason the  posts that offended Svenn are no longer here.

I also found the removed posts in THAT thread inappropriate as well as the handful of (luckily) short threads started by the same "author".  (Apparently you missed those.  I haven't been on much lately, but even I saw why them and saw why DJ would remove them.)

Because Svenn decided to take a "leave of absense" does not make him thin-skinned.

P.S.   Come back when you are ready, Svenn.

Title: Re: Solution for Svenn - Flame away
Post by jminmilwaukee on Sep 12th, 2003, 8:17am
Yeah, ok...ok. I was trying to stir things up a little bit, I admit it.

BTW - I originally came to this board back way back in 1997 or so (could be off by a year or two depending on my cycles).

So veterans, don't give me this newbie shiest. I remember what this board was originally about.

I personally stopped coming because I am episodic and selfeshly used it when I needed it and left when I was better.

No, I do not know sven and apparently NOBODY here (Oldtimers, veterans) remembers me from many years ago.

I came back to try and help others (as I have been saved by the pink ones).

Anyway, we did see some true colors here which was part of my original intention. I really wanted to see how much of a club this has become in my absence. I only questioned the logic behind "giving up" on your fellow clusterheads because of a few bad apples. I still think it is a valid point to open up an exclusive club for those who are very close and don't care for the BS. This way you can still support one another by invite and keep feeling from getting hurt.

Anyhow, don't hate me for being honest about my feelings toward this. I could have been phony and acted all concerned and sad about someone who ran away when the going got stupid.

I will no longer express my opinions when I feel they may offend the oldtimers. I will only post happy shiny thoughts from now on.  8)

Or, if you like, since I do not fit the mold of who the veterans consider worthy I will flee the board forever and go back to my selfesh ways.

OH, and lastly, Sven is a fool for running away from you all. What you all need to do is get together and have an intervention.

Good day, :)

Post by Georgia on Sep 12th, 2003, 2:03pm
Jmin - The point of your thread, as I understood it, was to say that leaving the board because of what a few people said/did was juvenile...to choose abandoning clusterheads in pain and in need over not having to deal with people that disagree with you or aren't always nice, is ridiculous...absurd...childish. Seems a logical and valid point to me. But then I read this:

I am a veteran here. Do I think you worthy? That's not my call. That is up to you.

Title: Re: Solution for Svenn - Flame away
Post by jminmilwaukee on Sep 12th, 2003, 2:18pm
No, that was rhetorical.

I was trying to point out that anyone can find a reason to run away. It's the sticking around that is the tough part.

I have found my answer, thus my return after soo many years gone. Unlike apples, we are only ruined here if we allow it to happen.

You know this saddened me when I read it with everything that has gone on recently and as you are trying to fit in the mould...whatever that may be.....you should realise that this kind of post is what this board doesn't need.

We are all here for the same reason, either we support someone who has CH or we suffer from them, I don't know who you used to be, why not tell us, or were you as popular then as you are in danger of making yourself now..?

I've not really got to know you and you've not got to know me, but have a bit of respect for those that have been here longer...maybe you'll begin to understand the nature of this board, and maybe we can get that spirit back again...who knows...all I know is life is too short to get your kicks by stirring things up a bit...

Thank you cootie.

You know, thats the problem with family. You can choose your friends but there is always that drunk uncle who stops by every so often.

Families are inclusive regardless of the issues the members may carry with them.

Again, I was only trying to make a point. Apparently the family decides which points are valid or acceptable which really makes this a club.

I got my flame, thanks.

And once again, lighten up man. It is only one persons perspective on things. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

I believe you will forgive me over time. Life is too short to run around angry.

Cheers and Peace  :)

This mission you all speak of when describing what the site was created for by the old timers?
Can you include personal attacks on new posters, even if they display ignorance, in your/our mission statement.

In my case I came to the site freaking out with a terrible new cycle. I was heavily medicated and terribly frightened of the hundreds of attacks coming in my immediate future. Not at my best.

I was so serious, that I was surprised that my first heartfelt posts, although in hindsight were self important, were immediately met with sarcastic jabs, and even what seemed to be hatred. Most of the posts directed at me, that I considered hateful, were so badly mispelled, I was able to try to consider the source.

Just some thoughts,

Gene

This seems a bit misleading to new people reading this to me as it makes it sound like you arrived, got flamed and left.
I may have a faulty memory but I seem to remember that you posted extensively and happily on this board for quite a long time (unless there is another Gene) and are now back here under another name.
I recall someone who had long and happy conversations with other users and posted trivia quizzes and answered other people's , have I got the right Gene?

Hi WTB,
Yes I'm the same Gene, still too computer stupid to figure out how to log on under a new ISP. Had to change my name to get a new password.

I was sure that my early experience with the site was unique. I understand how I can be annoying and self important. I occasionally visit the site now and see that others have been similarly flamed.

I hate political correctness, but because our affliction is so horrible, it seems that even the idiots (myself included) that post as newbies, should at worst be ignored or should be educated by the group.

How do you feel about my questions about the mission of this site and how this flaming fits that original plan.

I've never, ever seen newbies flamed for being ignorant.
I have seen newbies flamed for being ar*ewip*s.

Lots of examples come to mind including people whose first posts attack people without introduction, or ask for advice about taking coke, etc etc or post things intended to annoy or inflame others or make political points on sensitive subjects.

Gene,

That is very insightful (no bs'ing here).  It would be nice if this 'family' could tell the difference between trolls and people in your state.  All too often, the welcome committee is a lynch mob...  I had an experience much like yours, but look... we got over it didn't we?  In fact, the ones who *do* get over it soon learn what a great place this can be.  And while it's easy to explain it from your side (new poster, drugged out, desperate, seeking help) it might help if people understood that we are BY NATURE a cranky bunch.  At any given moment, I'd bet one of the family (at least) is having a really shitty day, and this leads to really shitty posts.  It's the way we are, and that won't change.

The expectations of political correctness are silly when you have a group like ours.  All that being said, I do think there are times when people cross 'the line' (where ever that is) and need to be reminded to be civil or asked to STFU.  Again, it's the nature of our existence.  It’s just too bad that the ones who really need to know this (new people) are the only ones who don’t.

All in all, it works out.  I think we’ve got a pretty cool bunch, cranky or not.

Every single person on this board that I am close to I Have locked horns with, what people have to understand is that when you show up on this MB you dont write the rules of the MB you follow them.....and there are no fucking rules so stop trying to write them....DJ has the final say on every thing here, not an oldtimer or newbie!

There are only two people that I consider very close to me that I didnt lock horns with and thats because they came, watched and went with the flow....your one Cutie ;D

The other one, well, we wont go there.

I am writing this post, not to ask for sympathy, so please dont get that impression...but to let you all know why some of us may not be posting as much as we used to..atleast me...These damn things called chs are known to cause something called depression...along with other major stressors in our life ...sometimes we end up with more stressors than we can cope with...This is where I have been...I have isolated and have had no support system because of it...my son and his wife dont know how to deal with chs...they run from my pain cause they dont understand it...my friends that dont have chs do the same thing....then when other stressors come along, I just can not cope worth a shit...So, when i come to the one place i need comfort ...I may be thin skinned...and if anyone says anything that hurts me...YEP, I get wounded major time...in other words...what i am saying, is WE DONT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN ANYONE'S LIFE HERE...we dont know that when we are a smart ass to someone here, that they may be hanging from their last thread...I am not speaking about me...or Svenn...but anyone...I am talking about compassion..about understanding...I know from talking to some of the folks that have left that that is the reason they have left..they had other things going on in their life and came here for support and love and got flamed...I am sorry if i offended anyone by anything i said but i felt like it needed to be said...Some of us are thin skinned at times in our life..Life makes us that way at times...Sometimes Life can be a bitch and we dont have that support we need at home....You guys and gals are my family  and that is the reason I keep coming back...but I have been hurt here before, and I know I have probably hurt others here..if so, I am truly sorry..but we do need to watch what we do to others....it may make a BIG difference to someone's LIFE....I love you, nancyc  PS..I miss you Svenn..you were a big supporter for me

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~REE posted this~~~~
thank God for that modifying button ... I noticed I posted under Tim sheesh I gotta tell him to put the settings back...LOL

(Posted after jonnys and not Nancys but modified after I read Nancy's post))) get it??? hope so....

Jonny,
Thats what makes a family a family... We cannot pick our family members and cannot pick the people that post here.  All have different backgrounds, religions, sexual prefferences, etc etc... Not everyone has to like another persons views... take what you need and leave the rest... amen!
I too am thin skinned Nancy... and have been hurt here recently... but I have also learned forgiveness.  Time heals alot for me.
A friend said something to me recently that made sense... she said we teach people how to treat us... If we put up with it, then it will happen over and over.
In this diverse site if someone bothers you... don't put up with it but don't let one person shoo you away.  

I keep modifying and Im not sure what I want to say here several emotions are going through.  I have tried to leave here and can't.  I'm just hanging in waiting for the cure and trying to support in the interim...
 

come back Svenn~~~~~~~~~~  ree

Sis, i can understand forgiveness and have to practice it alot...but what i am trying to get across is that we have a disorder that is so painful and so misunderstood..that isolates us and that makes us so vunerable...that when we find a place of refuge and we come here for comfort and get flamed...why should we get hurt?  I agree, we are like a normal family that fights and fusses and that part I can see and understand...hell, me and jonny and you can fuss and it does not faze me...but I know you guys...but what i am talking about is unneccessary shit...the flaming and bullshit that does not have to go on...and i think everyone here knows exactly what i am talking about...one thing is this post...Svenn is not here to even defend himself...so what if he decided to take a break..how does anyone know that someone in his family hasn't died or something..How do we know he is not at the end of his rope? And reading this bullshit could push him over the edge..I have not talked to Svenn in a good while so I dont know what is going on but I know ONE thing..he has always been there if I needed him..and I will be there for him..and for any clusterhead in need...this is a bunch of crap...this is what i am talking about..let's pull together here and have some compassion....that is a FAMILY!!! or atleast what a FAMILY used to be about....love ya guys, smiles,nancyc

You know, I did think about the sesative nature of some of the regulars here and had a bit of a revolation.

I am episodic and do sometimes forget what hell one goes through while in a cycle. For you chronics, holy shit, walking zombies I imagine.

Anyway, I understand the short fuse as I get that way myself during an attack. And I can also understand why people get their feelings hurt and leave.

So, instead af a friends of sven board, why don't all of you close to him continue support through email direct?

A little more constructive recommendation I believe.....and stop sweating the small stuff.

Once the cure (which could be closer than you think) is here I will not excuse you for stessing out.

OK          

You know Jim from Milwaukee........I'm not quite sure I really understand you still.

First of all, I DO NOT intend to harm YOU or anyone else here with what I'm going to say.

  (and btw jonny, don't think me and you ever threw it at one another........hmmmmmmm.......OH YEAH....one time......think you told me to STFU and I was happy after that)

Svenn is a really special person to a lot of people here......I mean MY GOD.......he trys his damnest to communicate with us here, and is one hell of a great supporter. Can't even begin to say how he's been a friend to me......and you know what.......I don't need to.  Thank you for that DJ

Next, my hope for YOU is that you realize that you didn't have to suggest the emails to svenn............many of us already have done that, besides personal phone calls......see....family.

Nancy.......I hear you dear lady.........understand where you're coming from.....and wishing you the best, you know that.

REE...........all of us are here for you too!!  Take ALL you need.

AS for Svenn, as many others........he is a great asset to us here.......very knowledable man, very sweet spirited, great supporter to WHOEVER needs it..........I'm so glad that we became close enough that I still know how to find him.

well, enough said...........my hope for you Jim is that you find what or who you need here, and like many of us find a special link with someone here when you need to.

I can promise you......NONE of us here wish ill on you or mean harmful words your way............never to another cluster sufferer........if anything, I would wish that  I could take on the suffering of one having ch when out of my cycle......JUST ONE THOUGH............ ;)

enough with this post.........as was said.......let's NOT further alienate Svenn in the event he decides to visit.

wishing you the best Jim
EDNA

Good one, jonny!   Sometimes I think you are trying to confuse the newbies.   Lets get this straight once and for all:

     Does a newbie follow the rules?
or
     Are there any fucking rules at all?

just having a bit of fun with ya jonny      ;D

I jus can't see where when one or two people say sumthin rude YA GOTTA LEAVE......count the ones that didn't say anythin rude or were NICE or sympathetic. Ya learn from yer mistakes in life on a daily base's......new people learn how ta be a better poster in alota cases......but it's kinda like a PECKING order that is real time in life !!! Guess if ya got sumthin ta say ta sumone on here ya should be able to say it..... 'straight up'. Sum people need put in there place....it's a normal way of life even tho it sounds cruel. Ya can't leave life cuz ya don't like how other people are livein it or what there sayin.....if ya get ganged up on EXPLAIN yerself. Flame wars don't jus happen here...they are all around us ! Learn from it......(I've grown tired of all this as you can tell cuz I hate to see this family ripped apart over trivial stuff) Pam that never runs in circles but sumtimes slams into walls  

PS: This ain't no spellin contest rite......cuz I spell how I see it.......sorry.......but I tend ta lean towards the informal style and I ain't nobody special that is RAMBLING...sorry 'gin
