Re: ...on Deb......ughhhhhhh

[Guest guest]

Hi - e-mail me and we can talk ! I no longer

have the energy to deal with censorship or to

encourage people to have some compassion...I am too

busy being grateful that I have been blessed with a

great surgical outcome...helping those who need

information, direction and a supportive ear...and

commend you for seeking both sides of the story. Some

one ... a medical professional .... once made a bit of

fun at this list and said it was all about Wooo

Hooo....Go girl....congrats...You got approval.....You

know... the light and airy feel good stuff. I

adamantly defended that it always told the good the

bad and the ugly....I no longer feel that way. Like I

said....not going to waste my breath on this topic

here anymore... Anyone really interested in supporting

Anybody...including Deb...e-mail me ! JJ

(sad......but just fine !)

I agree, this list is no longer about support since

deb was " censored " -- It's too bad, I found out so

much info here as a pre-op. Now it's a cheering squad.

Why are people afraid of the truth? Good, bad, ugly...

I have kept quiet on this discussion because I don't have any particular

gripe with either Deb and her supporters or those who feel she has slandered

her surgeon. I feel that both sides have a good point. I might point out

that my wife falls strongly in the camp supporting Deb. But I have felt

that it just wasn't my fight.

But when you say this list is no longer about support you make me angry.

YOU may not be about support but I damned well am. I am not a member of a

cheering squad and never have been. I specifically and purposely do not get

into those sorts of posts. I resent your implying that those of us who are

here to support others are members of a cheering squad. So if you would

restrict your comments to yourself in the future I for one would appreciate

it. If you feel a need to leave this group because you think it isn't one

of support then the group will be diminished as new people are constantly

coming on line looking for just that support that I give them and you could

be giving them if you could get past a wrong which may or may not have been

done to a member. And if you think I haven't given the bad along with the

good outcomes of this surgery you obviously have not been paying attention.

Sorry if this offends but I don't like being incorrectly categorized and if

you chose to leave you will be missed.
