Bruce, I do wish you would get your head on straight and not bring
this issue up because when you make these charges you pollute the
newsgroup with more "Naglerisms."

Since you are unable to find that which you don't want to. I took 5
minutes of my time to accomplish this for you. Unfortunately we'll
likely see you claiming nothing took place. You really need to stop
being an enabler. And as I have said before, his anger is misguided.
When you and he discuss your next transparent ploy in e-mail, be sure
he is aware of that because I have no idea, personally, what he is
talking about. I am rather amused at his compulsion and as a human
being with feeling, I do think he needs to find some help somewhere.

Take note of the last one. There well could be a current investigation
of an innocent man whom he has called a "disabled pig." It won't
affect me and that is the truly sad part. He thinks he has struck pay
dirt ...AGAIN... and the well will be empty.

There's a difference.  A *HUGE* difference.

I never acted.  

My "Letter to the Judge" post was a response to a letter-writing
campaign that he had already initiated.  He had already sent out
numerous letters.

But I never sent out the "Letter to the Judge."  And I told him I
never sent it out.  And more than that, I apologized to him privately
and him and this board publicly for even posting such a thing.

His response?  A coordinated campaign to destroy my reputation and my
life.  Countless letters.  Countless phone calls.  Countless lies and
half truths.  Quotes totally out of context for the express purpose of
putting me in the worse possible light.  And Yoli's attempt to get my
license revoked?  All choreographed by Conlon.  How do I know?
Because as luck would have it, Conlon called the Georgia Medical Board
investigator on his cell phone when the man happened to be in my
office.  Conlon is no more disabled than Jim Chinnis.  Conlon has
tinnitus and a number of other very unpleasant maladies.  No question
about that.  But disabled?  If this man were a project manager for a
five and dime, the company would be in the Fortune 500 in a year.

The difference is that I never *DID* anything to harm him.  He, on the

A two-year campaign against me and my family by a very capABLE person

I am not going to get into a pissing match with a disabled person.  My
heart goes out to you in that regard.  All I am saying is that in my
opinion Conlon has committed fraud against the US government -
unfairly laying claim to taking that taxpayer money you referred to
above.  Was I fully prepared to let things lie?  Sure.  But after two
years Conlon's of demonstrating how ABLE he is (in my opinion), I have
decided to do something about it.

I have decided something else - I have decided that I am through
talking about it.

That will be for the courts to consider if the government decides to
pursue a fraud case against Conlon.

We saw the same thing with Lix.  Nobody thought the (Canadian)
government would take it seriously - until he was arrested in front of
his wife and children.

The government is LOOKING for excuses to pursue Internet harrassment
issues.  They now have a whole division devoted to it.

I understand and respect your bias in this whole affair - you should
understand it too.

William,

If Conlon is disabled he should be livid that someone with no
connection to his case and no idea of his physical condition
would threaten to make it his "project" to get his benefits
investigated out of spite.  All we have is people speculating whether
or not someone is "Conlon" on ast.  What could easily be taking place
is that Conlon is living his life and minding his own business and has
no idea that people making these threats.

These same folks speculated that I was Mary, Yoli, Kelly and whomever
else suited their purpose at the time.  It is hard to tell when they
mean it or when they are "crying wolf".

A disabled man posting inappropiately on the internet ! Witch ! Witch
! Burn the Witch ! Look Martin Von Buffalo is an ignorant a.s who has
said maney inappropiate things in this newsgroup that he would not
dare say in public face to face conversations. He would get his a.s
whupped  unless he was packing and I doubt that. The pics that been
showing up here show him with some kids on stage, probly his and he's
probly a good dad. He ain't carrying any heat. I guess the point of
this is kinda to say I think a lot of you have lost the
point, I think ??? The name of this group is alt.support.tinnitus . If
we examine the title closely we see the word support. Support is the
thought that should crop up first ya think ? Now a few of you are
going to be thinking he's preaching to the choir or who is this
a.shole ? You maybe the choir and I may be an a.shole but that does
not release responsibility from you and your part. I am guilty also of
polluting this newsgroup at times.
  So what is the solution ? Focus me thinks. The running argument
here for the past fews years needs to be settled, probly in court,
with an audience which would please a few egos in a strange way.
Secondly, there are a few moderate people on this board and I think
they need to speak up more for the interest of support. It is my
opinion that if you post here you have a responsibility and moral
obligation to approach this board in a certain light. What is that
light to you ? A long time ago in a land far, far, away this board was
a good board. That is old history, it is gone. Let new history begin,
with appropiate thought flowing for the needs OF THOSE WHO SUFFER OUR
AFFLICTION AND NEED US. Quell your thoughts quickly please. Just think
about what I said. Think about how you used to be, in your early
stages of T, confused and wandering. They wander in here now and they
run. You know they do. Were do they go ? Were they our responsibility
?
This newsgroup is flame central. This newsgroup is almost completely
polarized.
Almost. I'm rambling more, the coffee's wearing off. Give my scattered
thoughts a little time in your beaner. Tomorrow we can be cool and
angry. Today lets think about obligations and actions to further the
cause of support.

Not to mention all the smarmy comments about "helping Steve find a
job".  Why would anyone need to help him find a job if they weren't
implying something was up with his disability benefits?  No one
mentioned it but Nagler.  Nagler said he was going to make it his
"project" to find Steve a job.

And while we are at it, I have known a number of people that have
qualified either permanently or temporarily for disability.  For the
most part they are decent people that would much rather be working
than not be able to work because of their physical or mental
limitations.  The most recent of which just passed away last week
after two years with stomach cancer.  

She spent the year that she was on disability planning her funeral,
selling her house, saying goodbye to her friends,  giving away her
clothing and other possessions and finding someone to raise her 10
year old daughter because she was a single mother with no family in
this country.  I'm reminded of it because I'm watching the Yankees
game and the last time I heard from her was a week before her death.  
She was in the hospice and said "the nurses are teaching me about
baseball--I finally have the time to learn about baseball."

That was a tough story to read. I have a personal friend with a
similar story and two kids and I watched it unfold. It is very hard to
watch, let alone be there as a spouse.

I know a woman whose husband died suddenly at 40 or 41 from a heart
attack. Her regret is not being able to say goodbye. But 5 years after
his death, she said it was easier than watching a woman whose husband
had stopped drinking a few years earlier suddenly develop liver and
pancreatic cancer. I knew that woman also. She felt like she had
gotten her husband back and then he was taken away. The one with the
sudden death said that as morbid as the conversation might be, her
husband didn't suffer and he knows that she loved him.

As to Nagler screwing with anybody's business but his own, I suspect
that the recent interlude would remove all credibility from the person
screaming "J'accuse."

I find it very interesting as a life experience to see such a mind at
work as I have never seen anything like it. It's a wonderful case
study, IMO, for someone working on a thesis in the mental health
field. I would think the angle would be a practicing doctor ends up
suffering from depression and in bed for a year from an ailment that
most manage to still function with at least to the extent that they
are not bed-ridden. (I am assuming a year in bed is non-functional
under a mental health criteria.) Then he thinks he is helping people
with a treatment for his own condition [and I admit that's a very
noble idea] but it collapses and he seems to be right back to where he
originally was. Oh, and if anyone dare criticize "the pill" it is like
telling someone just out of rehab that they don't know everything. I
just wish he wouldn't take his problems out on this forum. At least
that is how I see it with comments like "countless phone calls" and
"countless letters" yet he can't say where they are coming from.

A very small part of me feels sorry for him. But when I read all the
hateful things that he has said, and consider that he was once a
practicing physician and now is calling people pigs and frauds, it's
rather difficult. About the best I can do is keep suggesting he stay
away from here as it is clearly a problem for him, IMO, and instead go
talk with someone. Imagine if he went through 10 sessions of therapy.
What is the worst that can happen? The worst that could happen is that
he wasted his money as the doctor tells him that he is quite balanced.
But one would need to be truthful in those sessions.

The best that could happen is the psychiatrist tells him to stay off
the Internet, deal with his OCD, accept responsibility for your own
actions, and stay out of other people's affairs because he is only
going to make his life worse off.

Just my opinion, of course.

Not possible.  He would have to accept the fact that he is the

sessions, though.

God I wish you felt that way.
Look what you've done with ast. This newsgroup was one of Susan
Moreland's
legacies, Conlon. After how much she cared for you. Reached out and
helped
you. Right here in this newsgroup. I remember how close you were. I
remember how her death devastated you. You and she were so close. You
know how much
she loved this newsgroup and the good work she had done, the countless
people who found help on ast.
Now you've taken ast and turned it into a weapon to use against your
enemy
Stephen Nagler. I can not believe what you have done to try to satisfy
your  vengeance. Hasn't helped you any has it? Even with your
supporters the
horrible feeling inside you is still there. Your vengeance still
drives your life and Nagler is still here. After all this time he is
still here.
 
I don't sit in defense of Stephen Nagler but I do for ast. Every
distortion,
lie and act of hatred which is engaged against Nagler in ast only
diminishes
the newsgroup and works against your campaign. People are not so
stupid to
see through your deceptions and the deception of sadistic OCD driven
trolls
which continually attack along side you. You know damn well that my
aim has
been to revive this newsgroup into a resourse of help and information.
Not to
clear the way to make it safe for Nagler to run his corruptions.

Nope. I think his handling and bullying of you was way out of line
and disgraceful. You could have sued him and most likely won.
But after these years of unbridled vengeance you have
shown yourself to be no better, and for that matter, probably worse.
Look how you pay back the ones who have cared and helped you,
such as Susan Moreland.

You really need to stop

I haven't emailed him for months. Until today. And you really have to
stop
your vengeance and give back Susan's dream.

I really can't take much more of the ugliness in this age old flame
war between
these two jerks. It's a beautiful happy world out there. And when I'm
out there I rarely hear my tinnitus. Murray is right.
God bless you Murray.
God bless you Susan Moreland.

>God I wish you felt that way.

>Look what you've done with ast.

Bruce, I have often advised people to kill filter all "the boys." As
to "what you've done" you grant me more power than I possess and
presume my residency to be greater than it is. If people kill filter
this address and don't respond, well that makes it a monologue, now
doesn't it?

You are very confused as to what is going on. And I'm sorry, but many
things in life are on a "need to know" basis. And since I don't want a
Fatwa declared on me [I don't think Muslims like me these days as the
Koran is NOT perfect], no one needs to know who I am or who posts with
this account. It's really that simple.

I can understand your confusion after the weekend where we witnessed
foaming at the mouth leading then to Thorazine like induced postings.

Here is something previously posted [by me?] that should explain to
any lurkers what the problem has been, remains, and will likely
continue to be until someone keeps their many promises.

Now, after posting for a while and stirring the pot as "Oat Willy" I
think you should also accept responsibility if you feel this forum has
been harmed. Now don't go apologizing on my accord. I don't care. But
in reality, there is only one person that has harmed this forum, and
you do know that I'm right. There is a catalyst for a chemical
reaction, isn't there? That would not be me.

Nate

P.S. I will be offline Thursday through late Monday night. I just

****************************************************

(1) This is an UN-moderated "forum" and anyone can say anything they
damn well please and here's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
There are no RULES here.  If you prefer a restricted atmosphere, there
are plenty of other places you can go.

(2) Blue, Yoli, and whoever else are NOT the problem here, and never
have been.

We are simply against a lot of the garbage that has been allowed to
proliferate here. The answer to peace on AST is very simple.  When Nag
leaves, as he has promised to do MANY times, order will be restored
here.  Until that happens, there will be no peace here.  No spewing of
garbage and complex rhetoric by Nag's hired troll will change that.  

need more details?

Good advice for anyone "not" familiar with what is happening on a.s.t.
is to refrain from jumping in and posting at random.

The reason there is turmoil here is because a number of us didn't like
treatment being shoved down our throats by some so-called
"professionals", and the disabled being told they were not desiring to
get better cause they didn't try every "reasonable treatment."

Guess who gets to define reasonable treatment? These so-called
"professionals" toss around "success" stories and none of the data
they spew comes from real life studies. They call this "science" and
in reality it is garbage.  They told the disabled that if they didn't
try every reasonable treatment, they should not get disability
benefits. Plus, these so-called "professionals" have zero compassion,
and simply aren't decent human beings. Some of us keep pointing
that out. When they leave permanently and forever, this turmoil on
alt.support.tinnitus will stop.

The biggest trouble maker, Nagler - has promised to leave "many"
times. He lied. He's back. And that's why you see what you do and it's
not going to stop till Nagler and his minions are gone. They have worn
out their welcome and harm far more than they help.

*NAGLER* to someone with tinnitus who disagreed with him about TRT:'
You are going to rot in hell for eternity with your ears screaming at
100 dB, but not before your buddies in the penal institution into
which you are undoubtedly headed knock your teeth out and then over

good for'

*NAGLER* to someone asking about what jobs he tried to perform for
income during his one year in bed:"I'm finished answering your
questions. And I'm finished trying to help and provide insight on this
board.  Now go to hell, Jack."

*NAGLER* speaking to a woman about a subject they disagreed on: "You
are a horrible woman, [name withheld]."

*NAGLER* to someone who announced he had received Social Security
benefits: "You irresponsible bastard.  Go get a job."

*NAGLER* speaking of tinnitus disability: "But tinnitus in and of
itself does not make you disabled to the extent that you cannot find
some employment somewhere.  And if you can do that, you ain't disabled
enough according to the US government to get a free ride, however
meager that free ride might be."

*NAGLER* responding to a post by someone tried to help explain the
Social Security process:" [name withheld] is spiritually dead by his
own hand, folks"

*NAGLER* leaving - again - in 1999: "Either way, I'm out of this
place."

Dr. Stephen Nagler was banned from participating on the Tinnitus
Support Message Board due to irreconcilable differences over board
policy and repeated violations of posted rules. This ban was the
result of a unanimous vote by 11 administrators from five different
countries.

 Bruce, you are spot on in this observation.

 Where you err is in thinking that a reasonable point
  will be considered by an unreasonable mind.  This guy
  is not about reasonable discourse ... he has an agenda

 Ironic as it may be, your heartfelt plea only energizes

What Bruce is doing is taking a page from Nagler's book to prey on the
sympathies of people by invoking the legacy of a person that is gone
and trying to make people feel guilty.  The problem is that Nagler is
a huge part of this problem and feels no shame, no guilt because he
goes right back to doing what he always did, so he gets what he has
always gotten.

This same thing happens every six months or so when Nagler's posting
is limited in some way on the other message boards and he can't
pontificate there so he tries to recreate his badly tarnished image
here.  I don't know why he hasn't the sense to move on. Any other
person that saw how much rancor their presence caused would leave if
what they truly believed in was having peace.  

See, Nagler doesn't want peace.  What he believes is that if a person
wants to talk about tinnitus, Nagler has to be in the center of that
discussion to get the glory and attention he needs.  He has to toss
around quotes from studies, use "big words", drop a few names and
otherwise place himself in the limelight.  He even loves to suffer in
public because he gets more attention that way from you, Bruce, etc.
Every "Thank you" he utters, every "You're welcome" he says is just
another opportunity for him to say "Look at me.  Aren't I a great
guy?"

As the number of his defenders dwindles, he twists someone else's arm
to take up the slack.  It never ends.  Last time this happened was
Memorial Day, btw.  It started with the Great Memorial Day speech by
smn.

You have an obsession, just as Bruce described. You need help, and this

I think Bruce meant well. I truly do. I also feel sorry for him that
he allowed himself to be used by Nagler. He might take that as an
insult now, but hopefully he'll realize that it is what happened. I
suggest he spits the hook that Nagler has been trying to set.

   What Bruce is doing is asking Conlon to stop
    doing everything he can to disrupt what little
    value this newsgroup has to tinnitus sufferers.

   What I am doing is politely telling him that in
     my opinion it is a waste of time to expect any
     change in the behavior of the offenders.  You
     included.

   And you imply by saying these words that you want peace.

   The accuracy of the implication is laughable to any one

 What you don't understand Terri (and never will) is that
  when I comment on YOUR postings it has NOTHING to do
  with defending anyone you may be upset with.  Absolutely
  nothing.  You continually make the point that your detractors
  are defenders of Dr Naglers past behavior in this group.

  That is 100% not the case with me.  I address only the
  fact that you and Conlon do everything you can to devalue
  what this group can offer tinnitus sufferers.

  And you do it because you get off on it in a haze of
  self righteous Quixotian self delusion.

  Your vision is very short and very narrow, which is why
  I usually don't even bother to point it out to you...
  you and Conlon are miserable in the little box you've made but don't
  show any signs of wanting to leave.

  What I was telling Bruce is that until you stop enjoying
  what you do to this group, there is no sense in asking
  you to stop.  You'll need to grow up on your own and
  it is clear no one can help you do that until you are ready.

well put

the imputatation of support for nagler in criticism of her behavior
is a way of deflecting it and keeping the focus on the object of her
obssesion

but then again OCDs can't see what it is they're doing though they
can be shrewed enough to be aware of people's perception of them
and to conjure up a counter-claim such as the 'Manic Episode' post
from conlonsock

how prettily da towel knelt before him...though we must - as da yoliar
would surely have put it - draw a veil over what happened next

LOL!!!

Bruce,
So he didn't respond to your email request?  I didn't think he would as
he needs to do his mischief anonymously and with an audience.  At least
Simpson had enough shame to withdraw when he was outed, but poor demented
Conlon keeps right on going!

I think you're wrong to equate Nagler's behavior with Conlon's, and I'm
sorry to see you being sucked into sniping at him yourself.  This is just
what the trolls want - to spread dissension so that this becomes a useless
forum for support and informed opinion, especially one in which Nagler's
contributions are drowned in insult.

That said, I applaud the sentiment of the rest of your post and I've opened
a bottle of Chateau Grenouille's finest in celebration of it!

I'm not so sure ...

It's apples and oranges - but both rotten.

The question is where do we go from here - not where have we been,
because neither is very flattering.

I am committed to posting constructively in the best interests of this
newsgroup.  I challenge those who have been doing so to continue.  I
challenge those (like me) who have not been doing so to start.

>newsgroup.

But you've said this before.....again.......and again.....and AGAIN.

Didn't your momma ever read to you at that kitchen table you spoke of?
Here, let me do it for you:

Aesop's "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the
hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a
great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the
sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf
away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no
wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no
wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the
sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the
hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your
frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry
'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill
once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped
to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so
they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to
the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy.
They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out,
"Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the
village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said,
putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when
he is telling the truth!"
*******************************************************

The moral of this story - which I believe is very applicable to you -
includes that you've had plenty of time to change. Now go do it on
someone else's time. Nobody here believes you or trusts you. Actions
speak louder than words. Besides, you have files to keep and letters
to write and scores to settle.

Two years from now we'll all be 2 years older and someone else will
come along. You'll do the predictable and then it's "I'll try" all
over again. Why? We don't really know, but we can speculate that you
should speak to someone. The Aesop's Fable is very interesting to
relate to this because you Nagler, have been crying wolf and thinking
everyone else is to blame. Given what everyone here knows of your past
here, how could you possibly think that everyone...anyone... would
answer your invitation to the Thanksgiving table with you?

You know no other words. I don't think you know other words.

Bruce says you have a problem. I agree. On behalf of people who have
left, lurk, or just don't have the nerve to say what they think,
listen carefully:

NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU ARE COMMITTED TO! No one reading a fair number
of your posts 'in context" can come to any conclusion, IMO, other than
that you speak out of both sides of your mouth as you threaten people.

You obviously have spare time. Go donate it to those who can't pay for
health care for their kids. We know you don't do it now or you would
have told us.

Here's a thought: Why not be committed to your words to leave? I'd say
that if you leave I'll leave with you but I have seen that fail
before. You'll just J'ACCUSE someone else of being me and come back.
And how will you know that? Because you might not post but you will
still lurk. You watch. You always watch. You can't stop watching. What
is wrong with you? Let it go. Help this NG and help yourself. LET - IT
- GO!

Nate

P.S. I'm gone till Monday night at the earliest after this post. Start
small. Try not to post at least that long. Deep down you know you must
stop. And that part is gnawing away at you, isn't it? There are
programs to help with these things. You might not have an alcohol
program, but looking up their 12 step program might help you break
this demon.

Martin/Nate/Nathan/Steve,

Even you would have to smile at the incredible irony of this comment.

You'll just J'ACCUSE someone else of being me and come back.

such an appeal falls on deaf ears as you should know by now
what we've got here is 2 or 3 obssesives committed to harassing you
& careless of whether this group suffers in the process
so they're going to keep right on going for you & disrupting the group
regardless of what you say or do

the best for you is to withdraw from the fray and post only about the
medical aspects of tinnitus
its gonna be hard because the trolls will continue - probably increase
initially when they don't get the feed they need
& the lies/misinfo/twisted ? truths and plain gratuitous insult will go on
the OCDs have made it a big part of their lives to stalk you & they know an
empty hole would be left if they didn't have a focus for their malice
(see how easily they move to others when you are silent?)

so...no more appeals to reason please -
you're not dealing with normal reasonable people
no more saying you want to put the past behind you for the good of this group
no more protestations of good behavior from now on
then coming back with a riposte no matter how justified it is
no more answering their lies & taunts
never a comment on others - even a favorable one - or an attempt to ingratiate
yourself as you only give the OCDs an opening

don't even reply to this which is what i mean by withdrawing from the fray &
posting only about tinnitus

Here's the thing;
Stephen is my friend. He's helped me with my own battle
with tinnitus. That battle has worked out quite well for me.
My friend has some serious problems. I've been aware of this
for sometime. I don't abandon my friends because they have
problems and yet I try to deal with them honestly.
Steve Conlon and I had a cordial relationship here at ast a few
years ago. We had some meaningful exchanges back then, helped
a few people, he gave me some helpful advice and we had some
fun and laughs. Now that I know this is who this is I'm not
going abandon him either just because he has some serious problems.
I know his good side, too. And I intend to deal with him honestly
as well.
What I'm after is for ast to return back to a support group.
Honestly.

Now you ..... ~you d'Man~

Howard Gutnick - 23 Oct 2003 21:43 GMT
Bruce,

I think you've just defined what it means to be a mensch. I hope this can
return to a support group and not a shooting gallery. If people like you
continue to post, that may occur.

How do you know who "this is"? Do tell.

As to Nagler's sickness, this is the last place in the world that
Nagler is going to be helped by his sickness.

Me, I'm just going to try and help him keep his word. As to Nagler,
well he is just going to be f.cking the wrong person. And that is the
pity of it all.

But the three of them knew
