Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 2008I am with you guys - gals
Just read some of the posts. What a shame. To bad we dont have a moderator that could block these people that destroy rather than build a very helpful support group. This newsgroup and the people in it saved my life. Most knew more than the physicians on treatments and explained it better than any certified medical professionals. I learned tons on this support group, shared my quest and the friendships were heartfelt. Looks like a couple of individuals are trying to destroy whats good and helpful. Good luck to everyone, Happy New Year and... Never, Never Give Up Dave P > To bad we dont have a moderator that could block these > people that destroy rather than build a very helpful support group. Moderation, like bigger government, has significant pros and cons. I.P. Señor Freely replied to Dave P: > Moderation, like bigger government, has significant pros and cons. I don't want to start a squabble, but must say that I've seen moderated groups and free ones such as ascp. I much prefer the free ones. If some Flamer (flaming AH) appears on a free group, it will not last long. It is free to say what it likes, and the others are free to give it the attention it deserves. Soon, though it might seem longer, it will shrivel up and disappear. It cannot live without the attention it craves. The moderated groups are, IMO, subject to too many vagaries, such as the moderator's state of digestion, political views, medical views, and especially willingness to permit people to be themselves. On another group, where I will not post, I asked, "quis custodiet ipso custodes?" (who will guard the guards themselves?) Meaning simply this: a moderator is responsible to no one for his actions. No one answered. That is too much for me. Regards, Steve J "Judge, and be prepared to be judged." -- Ayn Rand |
