Everything above echoes my thoughts on the subject of Braintalk and John Lester.

I don't think until we hear from him we can know for sure what exactly has happened re the soft and the hardware problems.

But personally I have never in my life been so disappointed in a human being for their actions of disregard for those who depended on them.

By not having the proper help and not informing the members who have made that site a haven in their hour of need he instead let them hang there as mute immovable mannequins.

I have talked via email to him many times and he is not unaware of what that site is in relation to some of their lives. It is literally their only means of cummunication with the world of another person.

What happened to him that turned the caring and concened man he was into this uncaring entity he has appeared to be now.

I say without hesitation that the advent of one person on the forum changed everything for all. He took little by little control and used John on one side and his callousness towards others on the other.

I don't believe John knows exactly what has been going on and if the moderators are right it is a done deal. They too have to endure much but have no choice as John is not open to the truth. Indeed he is not accessible to them either save through this man.

I know some have written of his helping others and while on his own forum he did just that and would again in a minute but he has proven he has no compassion for any other disease or condition.

He only sees his personal power over others and talks and runs by banning as a child in a scholyard would and run to the teacher.

By banning or asking John to ban he tells his own version and then forbids anyone else to voice or another.

But and this is a big but

If you echo what he has done and praise it you will remain on the site forever.

Just say he is right but don't mention th word banned.

That is the forbidden word and I will not be forbidden from using it.

Because in my world there are no throwaway human beings.

I think John shares that feeling as I remember him talking about lthe death of his Father and mentioning that to that very day his parents don't really know what he is tryig to do as they don't use a computer.

So there is in there a warm compassionate man that has demonstrated it over and over again and for me the question remains

What happened John
