Oh, Lyon, I never called you "snarky", I think...it's not a word I usually use.
So, are you here to defend my rights, especially since I'm an old-timer?? It's a pity you guys will still be up when I fall asleep, I'm really enjoying myself tonight.

OK.... I am not going to indulge in any arguments; the threads here are filled with those. As for the modulators, it can't be easy for you guys/girls.... good luck, you need to re-read the threads again as you have FAR too many people on here who make it very difficult to want to stay here.
My best to everyone, thank you for the decent replies. I would have liked to have known more about CCSVI but for me, that cannot happen here.
Be Blessed

Before they start coming after you I just want to say thanks for having the guts to express your thoughts, despite the repercussions.
I'm not sure where all these newbies got the idea that if a thread doesn't go to their liking, it's only a matter of petitioning the moderators to close it.
If the mods start that crap thisisms might as well start taking contributions from pharmas.

Thank you so much Lyon.. you have a kind heart to have answered my post. I agree as much with closing a thread because it is not liked... why? again is it because it did not AGREE with YOUR way that you want the thread closed. In all fairness, I am a good person with good values and I have a tremendous heart for all people. I feel sad when they are sad and hurt when they hurt, especially the underdog. I was also raised to respect the opinions of others EVEN if i don't like it! I CHOOSE to keep those morals. I have gone through MUCH pain and losses in my life... far too many to write of and I have children that I raised alone with MS symptoms and now I am reaping the rewards of fantastic friends, family, children and grandchildren. We reap those rewards when we reach OUT to others, not because they are like us, but because they are people. No one should be made to feel their thoughts don't count or don't matter... EVERY persons thoughts matter; you don't have to agree with them, you just have to be kind and have compassion and listen. THAT is the way I was raised and that is how I believe people should behave. NOT dismissive, not cold and uncaring, not a well i don't care what you think attitude. There are many good people on here, they are compassionate, they care, they show it. I am happy for all those who did the procedures and GOD willing, they stay feeling great but there are also those "searching" for answers, not necessarily THEIR answer; maybe they are afraid, maybe they need time.... they have the right to all that and more and they should not come here looking for help only to be made as though they are inferior. I am truly sorry if this offends anyone... that is NOT my intention. My intention is to remind everyone that the reason this site was opened was to help people with MS, help them learn and grow, help them vent and understand more.. and that's what should be done!!!! GOD bless!

You sound like a wonderful human being.

Oh Bob, I'd say takes one to know one, but it would be a lie....I'm much more normal than you are.
So, your post before had me thinking. If you did a poll here and asked who thought Bob was snarky etc, what do you think the result would be? Only thing is, I know you would cheat and vote more than once!!
But as someone pointed out to me long ago, the majority is not always right.

sigh, I can't stay up any longer...the coverage of the Olympics here is terrible. I'm just hoping that poor Swedish skier will be okay. Goodnight!

perhaps the original post here was intentionally inflammatory, perhaps just venting. if venting, perfectly legitimate and you are free to ignore it. if trolling, all respondents have taken the bait. my advice, don't.
