I can't reply to his personal email to me....WTF happened?  - Jim R

If it was email, you should be able to reply.  If it was a personal message on here, I guess you will have to find his email.  I unfortunately dont have it.

Jim, Please click on any of DJ's posts if you need any explanations.  He is the one to talk to.

I just found out over the last hour that some of the people who've been posting a lot here, like Jonny, Potter and CH Hell, are all ex members.
I know it's none of my business, so I won't even ask, but it does leave me a little puzzled.

Hope they'll be back soon.

Potter isn't an ex member, it did look that way but he got caught up in a glitch that's all.  :)

Hey Potter - tried to PM you that there are no disabilities, almost had a fly tatooed on the willey once but sobered up in time.

Guess I tried to send it while you were in limbo.

..........this time  ;)

Is it not okay to openly discuss why members become ex-members?

 I don't get why it is a big secret...what a better way to prevent it from happening with other members in the future than talking about.

I noticed someone else is locked...I did not see any insults coming from them in the thread that got heated.  What gives?  Can some be locked for expressing emotion now?

Forgive me if I am wrong, but it appears that someone got locked for telling someone remove their boxers from their butt hole.  where does that fit in with the above?  And then on another thread we have someone spouting off about "liberal idiots."  If someone is liberal does that mean they're an idiot?  So, why does one get locked and the other does not?  

Potter, sweetie....

We all know that you ARE corrupted, but we love you anyway.

Glad to see you back among the family

To everyone else inquiring why some of our old family members are now ex-members.  

It is either by their choice or because they have been unacceptably abusive in their posts to others.  In the latter case, DJ and Steph have decided to give them a "time out", which in my opinion is deserved, whether temporary of permanent.

An explanation was given already by DJ.  All additional questions regarding reasons of locking, banning, etc. should be directed directly TO DJ.  

Please PM him.

Thank you.

I wasn't trying to answer anything or everything.  My post said that if you are abusive, or nasty in any post to another, then you deserve whatever time out DJ decides.  

Gotta a problem with this?  I don't.

Sandy

Dragon............

Since you posted this on the Jonny thread I assume you were inquiring about him . A couple of weeks ago, DJ felt that Jonny crossed the line. The post has been deleted. So you must trust him on this. If this still pisses you off, you have 2 choices as I see it. Live with it or not.

PS....You really need to visit more often to keep up. Thats not being smart but this has been discussed over and over already.  :)

The problem with Americans is they have become so used to our system, where NOTHING is wrong and NOTHING is absolute and there are always ENDLESS appeals to everything, that they struggle with this simple concept:

The board is here to help those suffering from CH, and as a side light, it's a great social interactive sight. If you need to be abusive, there are tens of thousands of boards out there where you CAN be abusive and no one cares. Here, you can't be. If you are, you're tossed. No lawyers, no endless appeals, no getting the media or Oprah or Dr. Phil to take up your cause, you're just gone.

I mean no unkindness or disrespect to anyone, but if you cannot abide by those rules, move on.

Everyone brings great joy to this board......some when they arrive, some when they leave.  ;)

icedragon,

Where Jen is concerned, there were messages sent privately that caused it to be handled as it was;  For any specifics you have to talk to DJ since it was communication between DJ and Jen.  

As moderators, DJ makes the rules, we follow the board and point out any situations that we think cross the line and DJ decides what will be done with it.  Consider the analogy of us as babysitters - we can tell the parents what a child has done that should earn them loss of allowance or a raise in allowance, but we don't have the authority to actually do it;  that decision remains entirely DJ and Steph's.  While I dislike the general statements about 'liberal idiots' or 'republican idiots', it is a generalized political opinion;  I simply don't read the political threads if I find the points of view outside of my own comfort zone, but that is just my personal opinion.  Again, if you are offended by it, or believe that there is something unfair to it, send a PM to DJ and talk with him or Steph about it.

As to Jonny being banned, again you will need to PM DJ and ask for any specific information you want.  Suffice it to say that the thread was removed entirely because the comment made was so disturbing that there was absolutely no good or valid reason to leave it up and open for viewing.  While I understand people's curiosity about what happened, I would encourage everyone to try to keep in mind that the person who was the recipient of the question/comment was victimized and it was a very hurtful and hateful event and not something that should be left open for further threads to sprout from it, thereby causing even more trauma to the victim in this instance.

Who's gonna talk about their genitals now that Jonny is gone?
:)

I would, but I like to keep my shortcomings to myself. :P

My comment, though brief is this:

If you obey the "golden rule" you will be okay.  For your convience, here it is "Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself".

Without further comment on those who are being diciplined.  I respect the board as a safe place.

Wishing you all well,

Ray

Victimized is a highly exaggerated description of a situation where someone was forced to log in and made to read a thread reply of their own free will?

Rolo and Blue....tread lightly, boys. Nerves are kinda raw right now. ;)

Rolo/BlueMeanie:  Do either of you know what actually happened?  or are you both trying to stir up stuff about a SPECIFIC event you know nothing about?

Just wondering.

I know enough to know it is petty compared to CH pain and that this site has become a drama battlefield that will not go quietly into the night while we the afflicted continue to suffer. Before computers were in every house in the community, this would be just another evening at home tending to the family in the kitchen, and not the World Wide Web.

3 warnings from 3 people who are not moderators. Guess I was disrespectful. No, I wasn't talking about a SPECIFIC event. Just a generalization from what I am seeing with this new kindler/gentler board.

Have a good day !

To translate, you have no idea what happened and therefor maybe you should find out before starting to make waves for no reason or leave this alone.

Just a friendly suggestion.

You replied to a quote about a specific event which you do not know about (you quoted it).  I think you probably would be better served to have made a general comment WITHOUT quoting a post about a specific circumstance.

I never warned you.  I just asked a question.

What does this have to do with the mood of the thread or the intent of the site??

Sounds like a person commenting about a situation he doesnt know about.

Tony, did the person walking down the street have to log into a computer and post on a public forum to be exposed to the incoming gunfire in a unsolicited manor or did they put on their vest and enter dangerous territory? LOL it is what it is and no one was victimized. One must be injured in some way or deprived of what they are due to be a victim. It is silly to use victimization in response to a comment virtually or on the street of life.

Simply read the rules. DJ and Steph do not need me to speak for them. I will not even attempt to do that.

If a person is so calloused as to find the most volnerable place in a persons psyche and attack it in the most horrific way... one must wonder if there is a place for them on "A SUPPORT FORUM"

Like someone pointed out recently... there are thousands of other forums where disrespect and attacks are considered a sport and it is encouraged. This little website which is the property of DJ and Steph is not one of them.

It's hard enough to muster the emotional strength to be a good supporetr to newbies plus deal with CH let alone have to deal with the stress of a hostile web environment.

would you tolerate gunfights in a hospital if you were a patient... are fist fights permitted in church?

just sayin'

Defend with vigor for you see injustice in the situation.

Jonny is a friend to many many people on this board and he has done many acts of kindness over the years. I really wish that he was treated with some respect now that he has been shunned.

I ask the all important question, does this site exist to help and inform others of the plight of cluster headaches or is it a vehicle for the users to exploit their personal agendas? As I see it there is way to much personal agenda and very little CH camaraderie these days on this site. I donated to this site before deleting my profile and I am now a newbie. Most others who have done this are reinstated as alumni.

Interesting.

Hey try this one:

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."

So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter


Moral of the story... even a titch of bitter well will ruin the batter.

Tony.........you just gave my tongue a headache. :P

Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
Just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw!

I'll bet you can't say this three times fast I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit PLEASE DO NOT SAY THIS OUT LOUD IF YOU READ IT AT WORK, IN FRONT OF KIDS OR ELDERLY RELATIVES

I couldn't do it twice without messing up!

Charlotte :P

Can you say three times without wanting a refund: I donated to it for a good cause, I donated to it for a good cause, I donated to it for a good cause? I can’t…Is this site about CH or is it about how many clicks Google will pay the webmaster for? Where is the financial disclosure for the patrons that donate?

I donated to this site before deleting my profile and I am now a newbie. Most others who have done this are reinstated as alumni.

Well Roland, most of the others who have done this didn't kick me in the teeth on their way out the door!  And in EVERY instance of someone deleting their profile and coming back, the person has shown me the common courtesy of contacting me and asking about getting their alumni status back.  Not one word from you.

Well, this site is not a "non-profit" site so I'm not required to post a financial disclosure.  Once again, most people who are curious about where the donation money go contact me personally and ask instead of call me on the board like I'm not here.  Not one word from you.

However, to briefly answer you question... where do you think I get the money to buy thousands of dollars of O2 kits, up front, so they are available to peple who need them?

It seems like you are pissed off with a situation in which you respond to another member recently... of course I changed a couple of words in your quote, but it's the same principle:

...a situation where someone was forced to log in and make a donation of their own free will?

If you would stand up and be a man when you have questions or problems with the site and contact me personally instead of acting like a pu$$y and slinging shit in public, I'd probably have a lot more respect for you.  As it stands, I don't have an ounce.

Why are you back Roland?  You made it perfectly clear you didn't like the way I run this site.  If you are back to simply start shit, I strongly suggest you exercise your right to leave.

Roland,

If your lurking around, waiting for me to unlock your profile, you're going to wait FOREVER.

If you want any chance at all to be able to participate in this forum, you need to "man up" and send me an email.  deej@clusterheadaches.com.

Ball is in your court.
