Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 absolutely...there hasn't been a whole lot to moderate, as we rarely have conflicts of this type...and I can agree to disagree as well as the next guy...but this guy would not give up, and started harassing me on my home email address as well...which I gave out to those who wanted my help. Because of this guy, I am still considering leaving. Even with all the people who have asked me to stay. I don't have a lot of free time, and at times it has taken a toll on me, but I have a hard time just walking away when people need help. I feel for each person on this group. What bothered me the most is that almost no one stood up for me with this conflict. And maybe I should have bitten my tongue a little more... but according to all the posts and emails asking me to stay, I have helped many of you and am " an asset to the group " ...if this is so, why was I hung out to dry? After all the time I have given over the years to helping people on here...why did I have to deal with that alone? Honestly I don't know that I feel like helping anyone here now. I think of you all as friends (and NOT that I am better than any one of you, I hope you ALL know that). But friends don't take the high road when the going gets tough. Even if you all felt I was wrong, you could ave said SOMETHING. Even a supportive " let it go " or whatever would have been fine, but stand up for me! I am very disappointed. I am grateful that SOMEONE on here apparently requested that be banned. Someone did the right thing, and NOT for me...for the GROUP. People with that kind of venom threaten the supporive thread that this group is supposed to represent. --- Babbitt ________________________________ From: cathy mccarthy <bbhorsetack@...> spinal problems Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 5:26:43 PM Subject: moderator Yes there is a moderator of this group, obviously somebody has kept the spam and the likeways " smut " and " advertising " off this group, and has done a good job.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 So, I think its time we can all move on from this situation. is no longer part of this group, so the conflict should end. I think this group is a wonderful asset to those suffering with pain. I joined this group almost 7 months ago, because I was going through a very rough time with my pain. This group really came around me and supported me. In particular, I received a lot of support from . Through group postings and through email. I dont think I could have made it through without her. , I am very sorry that I didnt take a better stand for you. I too feel like a lot of us have gotten very close and helped each other through some tough times. Lets not forget about all those times. Lets try to move on from the past now! Lets get this group back to where it should be. If you have received help from this group, then try to help the next person that comes through with the same problem. That is what is group is all about. Being helped and helping others. Often when we help others, we forget about our own pain. Its great to feel like you can give back what has been given to you! Please Everyone, Lets not let what happened with tear this group apart. We have something special here which I know many of us would miss. I hope all of you are having a wonderful day and a low pain day.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I think you are forgetting one thing. " If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? " , does it? I think most of us on this group chose to do what I did.... not to " listen " . Yes when a tree falls, it does not make a sound, it makes " sound waves " . If there is no one around to hear the tree fall, yes it made waves, and it does cease to exist. But if no one was around to witness it, did anyone hear it? So is there sound? " The production of sound requires 3 things: A source, a medium, and a receiver, " I chose not to receive it. I think, like myself, most on this list just simply chose not to listen. I do not see anybody jumping up in protest and support to the " other " people who said they were leaving this list. Yes, you post alot of good info, and just because you do post alot, there are people who simply " live " to find fault in what other people say. Don't let it get to you. Trees that fall become tree stumps and dead wood. Neither one is worth arguing with... ever try and talk to a tree??? Doesn't work.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well I think it's pretty sad...I sure wouldn't stand by watching a friend in trouble and pretend not to hear it. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would do the same for you or anyone else on here. And it doesn't matter what any of us posts, wether useful or not, it's about sticking together. SUPPORT being the name of the group. It's not that I don't see your point...but everyone who didn't say anything further reinforced HIS opinion. If it were you , I would jump in to your defense, because we have known each other on here for several years and I know your motives and heart are good. I would not tolerate ANYONE swearing and bad-mouthing you...for YOUR sake and for the sake of our group. That is just not who we are and NO ONE should pretend it isn't there so it " doesn't make a sound " . Disagreeing is one thing, and all are welcome to ignore, but character attacks and swearing should NEVER be tolerated. You yourself said we should moderate our own group...you can't moderate if you ignore. That is poor and absent moderation.--- Babbitt ________________________________ From: cathy mccarthy <bbhorsetack@...> spinal problems Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 7:45:45 PM Subject: Re: moderator I think you are forgetting one thing.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks for the response, April! As I was just scanning some messages, that was one in which I ran across. I went back to the beginning of the 100+ postings and began reading. Geez, some of that is unbelievable! I am sorry to everybody, affected or not affected. I don't know much about the artificial prodisc, but I did a bit of research on it when I was seeking information, not too long ago. It was in clinical trials at the time. One of the doctors that was running it's show was Dr. Harel Deutch from Rush Hospital in Chicago. He could give anybody any information on that matter. When I sought another opinion about my fusion surgery, the orthopedic surgeon stated that the pro-disc was now approved. So people, this all happened within a matter of months from the research I was able to obtain. Anyhow, my back is hurting too much to continue sitting here at the computer and read these post from people " crying " . It's done and over. We are all facing much bigger issues. Don't make anymore comments, period. PLEASE: SOMEBODY HELP ME IN TELLING ME HOW I CAN GET TRIGGER THE SQUIRTS OUT!? I'll catch up with everybody tomorrow. Lots of love to all. This has truly been a system of support for me! dave ________________________________ From: April <nanny04@...> spinal problems Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 12:26:43 AM Subject: Re: moderator meant to say , and yes he was banned from the group while you were gone.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 , I'm sorry you felt unsupported. I have to say, I didn't see any of these posts til it was way deep. I saw what I thought was 2 people going after you ( with the " f " word and such and Mademxx or whatever). I did jump in, I felt, to support you only to have one of them then turn on me (saying I wasn't reading EVERY word, or whatever). Just know that a lot of us saw what was happening and thought it best not to " stir the pot " . It seemed that anything said at that point was not being heard, just dissected and twisted. I believe everyone here is supported, even when we differ. That support ends when heat, hate and venom are spewed, relentlessly and without merit. So, from my perspective, you are supported, perhaps quietly, but you are. It seems to me many asked and commented on you staying. Not a word to the others. Sometimes, not stirring a pot is where people are, but it doesn't mean they don't care and they don't see how obvious things are. With that said, I appreciate your words and deeds. I do apologize for you feeling anything less that appreciated! > > > I do moderate this board, I am sorry you have issues > > but I do the best I can > > with all I am responsible for including a full time > > demanding job.

Yes there was recently alot of " mud " slung around. But it looks like it has calmed down (I hope). " VENTING " is part of this group. Which we all have a right to do. NO, we DO NOT ALL like each other. So what? I think a group should be able to " moderate " itself.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 An enema always works if you get deperate...you'll feel a heck of a lot better after! --- Babbitt ________________________________ From: D Chavez <chavezd@...> spinal problems Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 2:10:46 AM Subject: Re: moderator Thanks for the response, April! As I was just scanning some messages, that was one in which I ran across. I went back to the beginning of the 100+ postings and began reading. Geez, some of that is unbelievable! I am sorry to everybody, affected or not affected. I don't know much about the artificial prodisc, but I did a bit of research on it when I was seeking information, not too long ago. It was in clinical trials at the time. One of the doctors that was running it's show was Dr. Harel Deutch from Rush Hospital in Chicago. He could give anybody any information on that matter. When I sought another opinion about my fusion surgery, the orthopedic surgeon stated that the pro-disc was now approved. So people, this all happened within a matter of months from the research I was able to obtain. Anyhow, my back is hurting too much to continue sitting here at the computer and read these post from people " crying " . It's done and over. We are all facing much bigger issues. Don't make anymore comments, period. PLEASE: SOMEBODY HELP ME IN TELLING ME HOW I CAN GET TRIGGER THE SQUIRTS OUT!? I'll catch up with everybody tomorrow. Lots of love to all. This has truly been a system of support for me! dave ____________ _________ _________ __ From: April <nanny04email2me (DOT) net> spinedisorderssuppo rtgroup@gro ups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 12:26:43 AM Subject: Re: moderator meant to say , and yes he was banned from the group while you were gone. He sent some very nasty messages and caused a lot of turmoil in this group. He said some very nasty things to that were totally out of line. He was a total jerk. Luckily, He is no longer a member, and we should be able to get back to our old group. Sorry for the confusion. April moderator Yes there is a moderator of this group, obviously somebody has kept the spam and the likeways " smut " and " advertising " off this group, and has done a good job.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 You are so right...I guess I just needed to step out of my box and see if from another perspective...thanks! --- Babbitt ________________________________ From: ljw75010 <ljw75010@...> spinal problems Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 8:49:13 AM Subject: Re: moderator , I'm sorry you felt unsupported. I have to say, I didn't see any of these posts til it was way deep. I saw what I thought was 2 people going after you ( with the " f " word and such and Mademxx or whatever). I did jump in, I felt, to support you only to have one of them then turn on me (saying I wasn't reading EVERY word, or whatever). Just know that a lot of us saw what was happening and thought it best not to " stir the pot " . It seemed that anything said at that point was not being heard, just dissected and twisted. I believe everyone here is supported, even when we differ. That support ends when heat, hate and venom are spewed, relentlessly and without merit. So, from my perspective, you are supported, perhaps quietly, but you are. It seems to me many asked and commented on you staying. Not a word to the others. Sometimes, not stirring a pot is where people are, but it doesn't mean they don't care and they don't see how obvious things are. With that said, I appreciate your words and deeds. I do apologize for you feeling anything less that appreciated! > > > I do moderate this board, I am sorry you have issues > > but I do the best I can > > with all I am responsible for including a full time > > demanding job.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 , I apologize if it took me too long to step in. Please forgive me. I am new to this group and I was not sure of the ramifications. Sometimes it's hard to know what's the right thing to do. It doesn't mean people don't care. Sometimes I just don't know what is best for everyone especially when I'm new to a site. I know you have a big heart so please accept my apologies if I did not step in sooner to say something.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Who the heck had the nerve to pick on " our " while I was having surgery?? I've caught up on all the post and witnessed all the childishness of many comments. Leave it be, it's all done!! Please, nobody else mention anything more about it. Prior to this, there were at least 2 other minor disagreements. Remember folks, most of what is written is only our opinions, and what we believe to be facts. Very few of us are trained medical specialists with all the specific knowledge being asked on every subject. Sometimes, we all may happen to get something wrong and be mistaken. However, at no time should anybody degrade themselves to using derogatory terms or name calling. Although we may not see any type of " negativity " in our own posts, there are others whom may potential view something that we have written as " negative " . We all respond differently and just let's appreciate the advice/assistance that others are asking of us. Currently, we all have our thoughts, views, and beliefs about others, but they are groundless. We don't know their true selves. Regardless of what anybody may think of , she is always fair. Yes, she may stand firm in her beliefs and a tough " cookie to crack " , but she is extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter we all wish to know more about. It would be such a devastating loss if she were to leave our support group. I'm not saying it's okay for others to go, but just that everybody needs to reevaluate what they bring to the forum. We all could learn something from her, as she could from us. That is what this platform is all about, asking questions and offering thoughts, not diagnosing. We are all just try to help direct to obtaining the best by using our knowledge and past experience(s). Let's try to use more humor.

I did prunes, mangos, etc....I finally had to get one of the suppositories over the counter that works in 5 minutes...and it did!!! Thank the Lord!!! I hope that helps. > > > I do moderate this board, I am sorry you have issues > > but I do the best I can > > with all I am responsible for including a full time > > demanding job.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Although all is better now as of this evening, I was also given a suppository while still in the hospital. I might not have been able to dominate a #1, but what I was able to produce was plenty of fine by me. Unless others ask me to, I don't want to get into details about my bowel movement. I'm just not sure that other group members withhold the same sense of humor as I do, nor do I want to step on anybody's toes. dave ________________________________ From: ljw75010 <ljw75010@...> spinal problems Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 8:21:55 PM Subject: Re: moderator Dave, I had that after my surgery...they let me leave the hospital without have a bm (after 5 days)!!!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Where is our moderator? Please ask members to stay on topic and not stray too far - it is out of hand at the moment. Thank you. -=mark=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks for the reminder, Mark. I personally will leave the politics out. I'm sick of it anyway... <g> I've been listening to podcasts from Nora Gedgaudas, author of Primal Body, Primal Mind. She's terrific. Anyone familiar with her work?
