I've always had and will continue to have the greatest respect for our administrators. It is a hard job and I sure wouldn't want it. You guys and gals keep us together and civil to one another, a job that keeps you all on your toes. I'm thankful for each of you.
I have heard that Prevenge was banned and it's just breaking my heart, he's a good guy. If it's because some of us didn't like him using your photo's? Can't we as a family get past that? My feeling has always been "anything" put on the internet is open fare game for anyone in the world to use, thats what I always taught my children anyway. But I do feel in a group like ours that it's always best to ask permission just because "it's the right, proper, thing to do.
I don't think he meant one bit of harm to us, non at all. It was the sweetest thing Prevenge ever did, really showed his heart. No one would or could ever know "who" or the identity of the owners of the pictures so I just don't get what harm he did?
Or is it because it clearly shows that back in 1992 or whenever it was (not sure of the date ) that some woman was able to describe to a "T" this horror disease we all have. Maybe that scared some of us really bad, I wish I understood.
But I've always felt all of us here were entitled to our own opinion as the what Morgellons is. Because to date I'm pretty sure not one person knows for sure what it is, not with 100% proof anyway, just lots of opinions.
Can't we look past and forgive our friend/family member for using some photo's. please
Love to all, Suebe

Why didn't he just take the time to ask? Some are mad he used their stuff. Even a little kid knows to ask first. There was more issues than just that. He regularly stepped on toes. I know I've made myself unpopular for speaking about that, but I see no reason for anyone to not use manners and courtesy.

I agree Godog..manners and courtesy seem to be the appropriate thing to do.
I am just curious though... does this fall under the umbrella of manners and courtesy? "Even a little kid knows to ask first."
And this is just me.............. but if someone said that to me or about me I would think that they were trying to make me feel bad about myself instead of saying what they really felt such as... Do you think or feel that posting any of those are inappropriate or wrong in any way because I do not feel good about it or whatever the case may be.... Not trying to start trouble but sometimes I have experienced that if people do not act as everyone else wants them to.......... then there seems to be a kind of mother bear thingy that goes on and really...I have to admit that I have gotten waaaaay out of line with a few people here when I took them wrong or if I was not on the exact same page or if I or them was just in a different place period. I find it very interesting that after I talk to people from this board on the phone I get more of a feel for their personality and to tell you the truth I have judged too harshly because I did not really know how to take them until I really got to know them through phone and such. I have to say that I have received e-mails before that were very mean and saying things that were sooooooooooo not me at all and after talking with these people they have told me that they just took me wrong. When we type eeerrrrr I will speak for myself it is almost impossible to be able to come across as I TRULY AM as I am with my kids and grandkids and friends so there fore it may be very hard to get to really understand me unless you are very OPEN MINDED... This is all very true to me and a very real experiences so just to let every know that even though we may or may not like the (let's say abruptness or joke-sters...give it a name whatever it is...) of one or another TRULY...they could be your next best friend that you have been waiting to meet ALL YOUR LIFE...
Anyways...that's all.. Love and Light,Laur

Hi all godog is right' While I enjoyed some of his antics myself There was more issues than just the his swan song video with the borrowed pictures
Prevenge stated in so many words in his last post that it was time for him to get on with his life ---so in a since it was him that made the decision to not come to this board any more
I think this is the case with many folks that have posted here in the past that don't post here anymore Weather they get better or not for what ever reason they decide not to post here anymore they have decided to move on to another chapter in their life's --Can't falt them for that'
Then there are those that are not happy with the way we moderate the the board that leave of their own accord and thats fine too
At least we were there when they needed us during the hard times after all thats what this board is all about

Can you tell me why? I mean I realize that I missed some posts and was absent for a while but I was wondering if you could tell me why? I am serious here I am not trying to perpetuate any hard feelings or any breaking of the rules but I would like to understand what went on or is going on. As a member do I have that right to have someone explain it to me? This is not a question in a smart mouth manner I mean that... If this is something that is in appropriate for viewing then could admin tell me what is appropriate for this board... as in do I have the right to know the specifics of the ban?
Oh do be patient with me as I am really wondering what's up and trying to understand.
That's all folks.. Love and Light Laur

Oh do be patient with me as I am really wondering what's up and trying to understand. That's all folks.. Love and Light Laur Laur I am not in the habit of explaning the actions that moderators take to keep peace on the the board but I will indulge you just this once We don't ban folks outright here and we dont take it lightly we give folks plenty of chances to get with the program before we ban them If we ban someone you can bet there is a good reason that we banned them If it turns out that we have to baby sit an adult member constantly that should of read the rules of posting before posting that is a good reason --You can say that prevenge fits in to that catagory When in doubt about what is acceptable to post and what is not read the rules and regs of the board --we overlook allot of small stuff but their are just some things that we just can't overlook That said I am not going to post prevenges laundry list of rules that he has broken over timethat caused him to be banned --- publicly or privately I know curious minds want to know but we don't give out private information about our members it is unethical prevenges laundry list fits under that catagory so that means that no you dont have the right to know the specifics of the ban Although I did not do the banning I stick by my fellow moderators decision---hugs

Ant,
Just for the record, I was lapping sorghum before you were born. ;D
And since I live in the south, how could you possibly keep pace with my intake. I mean, it's practically made in my back yard.
Thanks for your even handed handling of all the restless, itchy, and forgetful folks, but this bragging about, first, your sarsaparilla intake, and now your sorghum intake has got to stop. Next, you'll probably be talking about how much better you smell because of all those volatile oils you use. Now, I'm just not going to argue about that one. I'm the peppermint king, and my dog agrees, so that's that.
Regardless of our differences, we (me, the wife, and our dog) hope you are faring well.
Blue Skies.............John

Love and Light

Cheeta, I think what you are saying is that it's ok to be rude, because if people like you, then it's ok. Even if I liked him and had conversated a million times with him, rude is rude. I said what I said in a polite manner, which usually I don't, when it comes to P. I don't understand why you girls jump hoops to defend him, and seem not to care about the people he stepped on. I merely have stood up for the people he offended, as no one else seemed to care. I am always for the underdog, always will be. If that bothers anyone, so be it.

Yes what you say is true but you really want to crucify him and refuse to see anything good about him Youve raked him over the coals again and again and again. What youve done to him is way worse than what ive seen him do to anyone. Im sorry to say this Godog , i really like you but I cant stay silent anymore

Ant,
Thanks for your even handed handling of all the restless, itchy, and forgetful folks... Yes Daryl I have to agree with Mr. Blue Skies... "YOU" really do try hard not to offend, to be fair, to leave your personal feelings out of things, not to judge, or be so CONTROLLING, to take it light and to not take it personal...you don't flex your muscles as if it really means anything other than what you do it for! Just by the words you use and the way you express yourself...even though sometimes you get a bit defensive for your actions, you don't need to 'cause really you know you do the best you can and that's all anyone can expect and if they don't understand that's on them! Maybe I didn't tell you competently my feelings on that, which is my bad. When folks would fly off the handle for whatever reasons, even ridiculous ones like LB was infecting them with virus' or whatever, you did your best to console...I really can see that and respect that today...even though I did not yesterday. For all that and what I've seen of you over the years I so genuinely feel you are so diligently here for the people here and the ones out there just beginning the spiral journey of this stentchful disease, on their way here. I know I've been hard on you at times regarding the time and effort you put in here, especially since I also have issues with how Admin handles things. I'm sorry for that, not sorry for how I feel but sorry for not being more considerate to your position. I know this is a lil' on a personal note but again it isn't and think it's important to share in the love for us all. You're a good guy Daryl... ...!!! GoDog...I don't miss him, not a lick! I really don't read too much but look in often and I know even less then that post but I don't miss a word from his self centered lips! Anyway...it doesn't even look as though he was banned... lymebusters.proboards39.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=prevenge I'm surprised if he wasn't banned...I remember looking over the shoulders of my man a time or two reading some of the foul sh@t he'd written...! I don't agree with conforming but respecting people is a must...especially sick people!

Yes, I did, I tried to call him on everything rude he said to others. I didn't say he didn't have any good qualities. I did try to nail him every time he was mean. I know he was smart enough to know exactly what he was doing. I never gave him a pass. Can you tell me why he used people's stuff without asking? Do you think he did not possess enough intelligence to know that it probably would make the authors mad? Actions speak louder than words.

Boy...no one asked my opinion, but I just want to say something.
Godog, Cheetah, ALL of you girls, and guys (and HI Carrie)...I really love you all. To me, WE ARE as close as war buddies and good friends, cause in all reality we are. It's US ALL against the world.
I too have learned that particular things said (in typing) sometimes don't at all come close to how 'we're really saying it' if we were to be talking person to person.
I know sometimes it probably seemed and sometimes I did "I guess protect/comment" about Prevenge in that times that some thought he was being rude, I didn't think so - and sometimes yes.
ONLY cause my husband REALLY has the same sense of humor and the same style of saying things.
When my hubby and me first got married, I really would get mad alot at him. I thought he was making fun of me, but he said I was the one who couldn't take a joke.
Now...I will say, I could hear the frustration and ways of "sarcasism" in Prevenge's voice at times, and then we get irked, with good reason.
I don't believe "any of us" should be fighting though each other here.
But...we're human, and we get tweaked.
And when a person "creates problems over and over"....and gets warned, then they DO need to change their ways ((( IF )) they want to remain on this board.
I respect ANYTHING the Admins say, because this is like "their HOUSE"...not mine.
So, if they say this or that, then because I'm in their HOME, I do my best to maintain myself within those perimeters.
I know people by nature can rub another wrong...that is human. Heck, being in the sales business for a long time, sometimes people don't like another just because of their name.
So it's difficult to "have all of us from all over the place" with all our differences and beliefs joined in such a life threatening predicament, and always get along.
The best we can do, is try. But I do understand that "repeatedly being told to not do something"....does warrant a banning.
But lets us not argue amongst us, we've GOT to stick together.
I love you guys and girls.

Im not going to argue withyou about his actions godog Im just pointing out you have a deep hatred for him and its not good for your own soul. Ive had my own bad feelings for him and almost left the board a few months back because I couldnt stand to read his posts anymore so I understand .........but when I started to see the good in him is when i found peace with myself On a lighter note hes been banned now so I guess none of this really matters anymore

I don't have a "deep hatred". I don't like him, that's all and my soul is fine. . And I made a point of calling him on his crap. I give him credit, I know he's smart enough to know what he's saying and doing. I like swatting flies.
