because it suits Mrs/Ms Moderator to flex her muscles.......ie because she CAN!!!!....................and because she thinks that by doing so we will all forgive and forget the injustice we have all experienced recently. She gives no response that means anything, ignores posts in a new thread (where it can already be seen that only things the moderator herself thinks are relevant will be given site-space), and allows problem members to remain on the forum while eliminating others who were simply trying to protect this Forum and indeed NRAS's reputation itself.



What HAS become of our lovely kind supportive Forum? and heaven help any newbies who need the experience so many of us had to offer

Hi Eleanor, thanks for that................but I don't feel very kind or supportive at the moment when two of our number have felt SO traumatised that they have been effectively dismissed. I was so grateful for all the love and fellowship we used to find when I was newly diagnosed and frightened, and feel very afraid for newbies who will not have the EXPERIENCED and balanced help they need when they are most vulnerable. Lxx

There lots of whierd buttons on that i think i unlocked it .Sorry went button pressing

I think I'm a bit slow on the uptake and can't quite understand what's going on: locked and disappearing threads, trusted members being banned whatever next? Whilst still getting my head round this, I personally think we should continue to support all members on this site, especially new members. In saying that, I must admit to not posting on the new or newly diagnosed thread lately as I have been, and continue to be, in not a very good head space, and don't want to give a bad impression with my negativity: treatment so far has not worked for me and over the past few months my immune system has taken quite a bashing. As for the new Facebook group, I'm still trying to work that one out! Missing "lost" members terribly,

love to you all,

Barbara

Chrissie love, I don't think it was you, the moderator effectively closed the post so we couldn't read it anymore and would stop complaining about what happened to Jean and Mary.


Oh dear Barbara its a long sad story.......but I'm sure the forum will continue to offer comfort to newbies. Like you, I don't post very often either, as I haven't much to say that is useful ................lets hope we both get some thing NICE happen and we begin to feel more positive together!! Take care, LOVE Lxx

Hi Lylie

IT MIGHT BEEN ME as i pressed a thing called locked then a other thing called unlocked .

What ever it was ?????????????????no idea

Christine

Julie, please don't get upset!
Most of us are still here to support you.
In fact most of the "escape" team are still here and we can call in the other 2 if we need them, they are on standby!
You are our best climber so don't desert us

Pity about the lovely green dress though!

Well who knows---maybe the one who started all this will have a pang of conscience, do the right thing, whatever that takes and then people will come flooding back.

I've been told that on the site where it all started, someone has actually said that they are glad they found that site first because from what the gulity party had written IT WOULD HAVE FRIGHTENED THEM TO COME ON HERE! How damaging is that!!! Now maybe NRAS can see what a wrong this person has done to them.

Most of us are still here, and perhaps after the dust has settled we can get back to normal and the sorely missed members will come back(?), I hope.

Dear Lylie and Julie, if we start "swinging" again count me in, I so MISS our banter

much love,

Barbara
