It was so rediculous. The mods let others put this guy down, tell him to get mental health, but when I post with actual concern, they ban me for being disrespectful? I asked them to reread my post and see if there was a syntax error, as I am not very profficient with grammar or spelling. I knew they could be nuts, but this was WAY OUT THERE!

If it was just some guy trying to get everyone worked up, he was being very successful. Maybe if he saw that people were actually showing concern he wouldn't think it was so funny. I know a few people who are beyond morbidly obese, and have such low self esteem that instead of losing they embrace their size and say they like being big. I am a lot over weight (we will not discuss that) and I do not like being fat. I love myself, and what the scale says does not define me, but I will continue to fight to lose weight for my health. Oh, God, I'm preaching again!

lol bwt..preach away. i'm known for standing on a soap box or 2.

it is hard to know when somebody is baiting to a rise out of people. guess they get their jollies that way. but best to try and be helpful first.

i don;'t remember..but have you joined us on the weight loss forum? lots of motivation and support.

I haven't yet. I was spending too much time at HB Back Problems, but I have really been pulling away. Kind of lost, left out, not feeling like I belonged anymore. The 5 or 6 people that know everything about every back problem (how???) shunned me for some reason. I digress...

I will be spending more time wondering around here. Trying to get the hang of the conversations. You guys are all so funny, your posts so creative. I have a hard enough time just getting what I am trying to say into words. When I am talking to people, everyone says I am so funny, should be a comedian, but writing is a whole different kettle of fish!

Is anyone else feeling "disgruntled?"

I am.

I have been suspended for what, unsure, wasn't told. I have been suspended for talking about suicide with someone who thread was titled "my mom killed herself"

Got an additional couple of points after that suspension for telling the girl that I wasn't sure what else I could say about the subject. So, not only could I not talk about suicide on a suicide posting, but when admiting that I wasn't sure what else I could say, I was also given an infraction. So that place got the following email: *edit*



I mean, I thought the woman who was dealing with the suicide death of her mom trying to get help--and not being allowed to get anything except for "oh, so sorry" was ridiculous!! Can't talk about suicide? Can't explain to drug addicts a concequence of their behavior?

Good thing the internet is a great big place.

Thus I am here--who knows, I may have just broken ten new rules and will be banned from here too!

Hi, JJ ! Welcome to NeuroTalk!

Our admin here is very, very accommodating and we even have an area specifically designated to survivors of suicide:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum29.html


However, while I'm not sure it's a steadfast "rule", we've been asked to avoid bashing other boards in our community. We were graciously allowed to do so for a time in this case, but that time has now passed.

Please feel free to join in anywhere, introduce yourself around, play some games, offer some creative input, or just read to your heart's content.

Again, welcome to NT!

Hi and welcome

glad AMN helped you with that link and hope you will feel very much at home here and receive the support you need

as DocJohn closed our previous thread re HealthBoards I need to lock this one too. We understand many have a problem at that other board, but we hope all will be much happier here
