I figured out tonight if we BLOG all our ideas and questions, we get to DELETE all the JERKS who only want to rain on our posts !! WE PICK who we want on or BLOG or not, hence, the few on here who must act like the name attached to their 'nickname' and his or her snotty little friends can't post without OUR permission !! I don't know about you, but I'm so very and deeply SICK of them telling US what we should post and what topics to post to keep them happy. I have reported a few tonight to Disaboom and asked them to make this foolish and childishness stuff stop, but until they can get control of the mental cases on here, it might be more wise if we post on BLOGS... put a note on the General Topic area that the BLOGS was updated and just use those for now to control the insanity floating around right now. Anyway just wanted to share an option to this nonsense until something is done with the owners of this amazing site, that has a FEW really cruel and hateful people on it. Blessings, Lisa Catherine

I have been in favor of blogging as a way to discuss without all the juvenile so-called discussion that has been besetting the site in the recent period. It has gotten particularly terrible with the loss of chat, which is why, I guess, there is no more chat. Many "discussions" have little or nothing to do with disability. If someone wants to reply 6 times to a remark--woops, it can be deleted. No more going back and forth, no more personal insults. REAL DISCUSSIONS. [FYI, I don't think it is a good idea, in general, to refer to "mental cases," when mental health, or should I say "mental illness," is a disability too. But I know what you are trying to say, and take it in good intent.]. Again, a good idea, and I think any REAL discussion topics should be in the blogs so we can get the content back to what it was some months ago. Jokes and humor are fine, in their niche. But this "filler" and personal attack after attack, and defense, with sides taken by some for one POV or the other, is, to me, one big waste of time. bonnie

Is it really a discussion if everyone agrees and just says the same thing?

The mental "Little People" of the world....lol. I say stop reporting it to the higher ups, that is what got Chat closed down, they don't want to have to deal with this petty crap. Fight your own battles! "The Celts are a race that Heaven made mad..for their battles are all merry and their songs are all sad"

Just to be absolutely clear, I am not in favor of deleting different points of view. I am in favor of having serious, adult discussions about the issues that are critical to the community, and also to individual members who have questions about meds, care, tranportation, depression, etc. This is a disability site, and it is getting pretty raunchy. I did not say "report it to the higher ups." I said, if it is in a blog, the comment can be deleted if it is considered inappropriate by the blogger. bonnie

I don't think we should delete others Point of View... I think all the insults and hate that is being exchanged is tragic and needs to end. So it's not about not liking what the idea is, it's about the name calling and hate that has come onto the forum, how sad to be new here and find all this dirt being thrown... It's not about 'tough skin' it's about RESPECT about ideas and not putting others down !! So if a blog can do that, then why not give it a try ?? Just my thoughts of course, not a God given order or law LOL.

Hi Bonnie,
I of course don't mean to edit or deleting points of view either, just ending the hate... If I didn't suffer with clinical depression myself I wouldn't have used the mental case words at all, but I do think of myself that way, as some call themselves 'gimps' which just makes me so sad... I am NOT a Gimp... however I understand we all cope with our own stuff and for me, a joke here and there about being a bit mental is never meant to Insult, NEVER !! Just my way to explain my own feelings now and then.... Thank you for understanding !! Lets pray that others will start to blog now and walk away from the forum until the fires burn down. Blessings, Lisa Catherine
