What is that saying......  oh yes  "It is what it is"    there can be many stories/assumptions/gossip/blatant lies  and   a whole lot of drama....  but reality is     yep,   "It is what it is".    

If you had emails and a relationship outside of MH with this person,  there is no reason for your friendship to end.      Or if you really don't know her,  drug addiction causes so much drama, why get bogged down in something that really doesn't benefit  or aid your desire to be clean?      

Sorry  if this sounds  rude,  but I think it is pretty black and white,  I know in my own life I dont have a lot of extra time or focus  or honestly interest in tracking down someone that has chosen to leave, for whatever reason........  my time is for those here  that are asking for help, whom I think I may have some experiece to share,  I can only hope and pray provide them some solace as they have to me.      So many in need,   so many wanting help........how is your time best spent?

She was not banned over anything having to do with posts asking for money thats %100  False!!!!! She indeed will no longer be on the forum the decision was not made lightly it never is .There were absolutely legitimate reasons for it .That is the end of it !! LET IT REST.

HOLD ON  STOP IT RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know why she did what she did I dont reopen old wounds as some here are trying to do. Like BP said she took a stand just as some others did I was one of them. So dont get in the Kool-aid if you dont know the flava.

I will stop there no need to bring up the past and by the way I do keep up with her only an every other day basis.

Ok...I was going to leave this one alone,but obviously I've decided not to.What Jacqui said happened that night was the truth.I was in the chat that night also.The question was asked 'where is she' and no matter what the reason,the question was answered she was in fact banned.No matter what the truth is we are all individuals who will form our own opinion about it,and we're all entitled to that.For those of us who thought her actions were less then appropriate,she was held accountable for her actions and was banned.For those of you who think it was not 'fair' just know that when it happened that night,SHE made the choice to do it,and she knew the consequences,so she did in fact accomplish what she set out to do.It's in the past now and I'm sure that none of us wish her any ill-will.Hopefully she is working on herself,as we all are,and she was able to find the help and support that we all get from here,elsewhere.

ya its rather strange how people say they arent on here for school yard games or "cronyism", yet call ppl names on the side bar,and write stupid things to draw negative attention to onesself to "prove" they'll get banned!?!  That is so immature and ridiculas. Also stated was, "she sacrificed herself to draw attention to an injustice and it worked"?!?....the only thing that got any "attention" was childish behavior...This is a dang internet forum, it HAS to have rules and an order. You cant walk into a public place and start acting a fool saying anything you want in anyway you want to, you cant do certain things on here either. This is a public forum. If you dont have some rules and some guidelines for proper "behavior" it will not work.  I think its so strange that ppl cry and moan about how their "free speech" is being violated when they are on a PUBLIC FORUM on the INTERNET!!! Lets grow up people.

everyone is just insinuating things but noone is actually coming out and saying what happened!  some say she called good people names, others make her out to look like a martyr against "injustices".  of course this makes all of us who knew her but don't know what happened curious, so someone either tell the whole tale or stop talking about it.  i mean, either way it is gossip, right?

There are lots of people on here who help others that goes without saying. I really dont know exactly what happened at the end with sad Ive only heard bits and peices of that story. I do know that there was alot that happened with her before that point that I think added fuel to the fire.

Ok sorry folks but i need to put my two cents in here sense everyone else is...Have u noticed sense sad has been gone things have calmed down on here, now she is brought up and ppl are assuming alot that isnt true AGIAN..Jacqui is soooooo right Sad brought this on herself and was putting ppl down on here that r good ppl and have helped others more then anyone else on here...so until ppl have all the facts it would be nice for trouble over this not to start up agian!! Remember the old saying assuming makes an *** out of you and me thats why i dont assume!! I dont open mouth unless i know the facts...

maybe i don't know the whole story, but i don't see how calling people "inappropriate names" is being a sacrificial lamb for any cause.

Thank you Burrpatch for helping to set the record straight. Sad was the best and didnt deserve the way things were going and you know what Im talking about. I hope people keep posting and asking about her =) She is VERY missed and was an AWESOME part of this forum she helped so many no matter how bad things were going for her at the time!!

What Sad did was a matter of principle. She saw an injustice and after many attempts  going through the proper channels to have it remedied and running into cronyism & nepotism time and time again, she just had enough !! Many were poised to leave during those ridiculous disruptions. Some did, Others stayed. She was here for sharing and healing, not to play school yard games !! She sacrificed herself to draw attention to an on going problem, and it worked. Sort of !! She did much good here and was loved by most. In hindsight, I just wish I was the sacrificial lamb. Although I doubt if that would have stopped her from confronting injustice as she saw it. Heck !! After writing this I may very well be banned!! All is not what it seems. Welcome to the illusion of "Free speech" and standing up for ones self and ones friends !!  That's all I have to say....... such as it is... Merry Christmas Sad, and Merry Christmas to all my MedHelp Homeys as well !! God Bless ! ...B.P.

I wished she wouldn't have gotten banned because now she can't even drop by and say "Hi".

For future reference guys, if you get mad, just stop posting, and stop reading.  Don't get yourself banned because you will always leave people wondering about you, and if you get over it and decide you want to come back, you can't.  Don't "cut your nose off to spite your face."

Happy holidays.

I am so sorry for her and I am being sincere. It really seems a need for something for than what she was getting here. So many times when I read posts, it brings me down when I hear people continue wanting to do harm in spite of what others have siad in tryin to comfort. I sometimes want to offer to take to a MD if nearby. I guess that is my nature being a nurse and all. Even though I am the oldest of 4, I still try to fix and keep everything happy in family after Mompassed, even as SICK as I am. Need to work on self FIRST. Huh? I know I do. Thanks for info, but I still worry and am concerned for her. Blessings. Madlyn

Madlyn,

I happened to be on-line, in a chat with her when she did it...This is FIRST-HAND knowledge.  She was peeved about some things and said, "I'm gonna get myself banned off of here tonight" "I'll be right back"  She then posted a mood that called some MH members some names that were not suitable for EVERYONE's viewing, I'll put it that way...THEN, she posted a thread with a title that matched her mood...THEN, she kept posting on it.  She was happy when she got in trouble....I have not spoken to her since.

Maybe I am dense, but how and why would you get yourself purposely banned? Maybe I have not been in touch with the real world for way too long.  Madlyn

I just saw this....don't know how I missed it.  

She WAS banned and not for the reasons stated above.  She purposefully got herself banned.
