Nick, that is a crock of sh*t and you know it. I was in transition, moving from CA to FL when the whole thing you're referring to occured. I didn't do the " moderating " that you attribute to me. And althogh it didn't involved me (it was list owner ), I do know that there was no actual " moderation " on any posts on that issue. There was a lot of flames and assumptions made, but not a single post got moderated. And furthermore, if you read back in the archives on this list, you would see that I have been unfailingly supportive of Deb. Now, please don't throw around unsubstatiated accusations anymore about me or anyone. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2001 Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 Sure - my apologies. Don't be so quick to moderate, though.

Thanks for all your volunteer work, especially when your family is in transition as your husband attempts to settle into a new job and you and kids hang out with folks in Florida (I hope I got all that correct, as I am going with my ever-faulty memory).

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2001 Report Share Posted July 1, 2001 Okay, I have to comment on this one. If it wasn't for posting on AMOS about BPD/DS almost a year ago, I would have blindlyh had a distal RNY last September, because all I found on AMOS regarding BPD/DS were the negative horrors stories of malabsorption, bad odors, etc. If I hadn't found duodenalswitch.com or this egroup from , I most likely be one of those having a revision from RNY later. If it wasn't for 's advocacy of BPD/DS, a lot of us would have settled for RNY because that's the information that was pushed at us. 's volunteering to moderate this list and I consider her contribution to this list and to the DS website invaluable and I think people need to think twice before they slap her in the face for it. Sometimes it's definitely hard to remember that moderator's are people as well. Some decisions are not easy to make and it's a hard spot to be in. Do I think Deb should be able to post about her feelings and complications to this list without worrying about being censored ? ABSOLUTELY!! Do I think Deb could do this without several people jumping down her throat or emailing the moderators to complain?? HELL NO. Is it fair that Deb's feelings or thoughts get moderated because others are occupied with preserving Dr's Ren's saintly image ? Absolutely NO. But when you have seven or eight people complaining that Deb is slandering Dr Ren's image and the list is liable, then that becomes an issue for the moderator right or wrong. Do I think all this bickering is good for the list ? NO. Do I believe the truth should be told ? YES. When you factor all those issues together, you put a moderator between a rock and a hard place and you're damned if you do, damned if you don't, especially on a list this size! You may not agree with censorship (I don't) and you may not agree with all the decisions the moderator's make, but please also remember a lot of you (including me) wouldn't even know what the hell the BPD/DS was, if it wasn't for 's website (www.duodenalswitch) and this list! So I don't know about the rest of you, but I grateful she shared this information so I can have what I and other's consider the 'platinum' surgery/BPD/DS.
