Thanks Chemar! I visited psychcentral today and this fits well with me!

Yep, me too. Mentioned the fact Psilocybe sp. mushrooms gave OCD sufferers relief. Referenced the publication and everything...Persona non grata.

I couldn't believe they banned me so I emailed the administrator. There were three exchanges. They said, "Shame Shame on you for not following the rules" I asked what it was that I did after suppling my email URL etc. They replied that I didn't follow the rules. I emailed back that their lock step mentality, vague rules and dispassion for people newly diagnosed with life threatening issues could hurt someone. They emailed back saying to never email them again.
Power heads and its so sad because that forum is filled with people in great need. Luckily I found a real forum dealing with the cancer we are facing. These people are contemptable and should not be placing themselves on the internet at compassionate and helpful. In fact they should be banned from even running that sham of a site!
Thank you all for allowing me to vent.

I agree, ridesthewind. That is the ONLY reason I am careful about my membership there. They also don't care about bad information being disseminated -- as long as you follow the "rules'.

Interesting! Are there a lot of people here that rejoin that forum? Sort of like hovering Angels? Wonder if I should give it another go? The rules, as far as I can tell, is to only act in a supportive way, don't give ANY advice and act subservant to the moderators. Am I close?

LOL. Well, the subservient part is right. I think it even says right in "the rules" that you can't question moderator's decisions. Giving advice is okay but really as on any board, you can't and shouldn't pretend to be a medical expert if you're not. The main things are not allowing off-board contact (hence the no PMs or email) OR posting websites without approval. (The only exception is that .gov sites are okay and those of their commercial partners, like WebMd.) The site is all about keeping people active on their boards and not pointing someone to other sites that might lead them away. If online activity diminishes, so will their almighty advertising and sponsorship dollars. Besides the attitude of the mods, my biggest problem is that they pretend to exist for reasons other than they do. At least that's how I see it.

Ok, I'm back in on the boards. How long before they find me is disguise?
Totally different subject and asking questions.

Bearygood,
Guess they'll watch me closely for a long while or until I manage to get banned again.

Well, the only way is if you signed up with the same email or if they record IP addresses (but I don't think they're that organized!). Now just behave this time and follow "the rules," ridesthewind!

Ok, I be as good as I can. Thanks by the way
