You STILL don't get it do you? MED HELP REMAINS NEUTRAL REGARDING TX. We stepped in to stop the character assassination of Ms. Thanbey. While I'm sure it's more exciting to believe the conspiracy theories put forth by Balrog and Cuteus, that Med Help will only allow those who agree with us to remain in the forum, the simple truth is that we are so small we don't have the staff necessary to sit for hours going "comment" by "comment" to remove the offending posts. Therefore, I removed some whole threads and as many "comments" as I could find. Sadly, some of the threads may have contained great information from wonderful people and it's sad that they were deleted.
We banned those who broke the rules and will continue to do so to protect the integrity of our forum. Our rules are simple and clear - if you threaten a person, you will be banned.
You may think it's OK to trash people in an open Internet forum, under the guise of "opinion" and "hunches" but we do not! Every single thing you post here can be picked up by the media and spread across the world as gospel. Yet you say that WE are being UNFAIR. Where were YOU when people's lives and integrity were being shattered? Why didn't YOU speak up about fairness then?
THINK BEFORE YOU POST is what we ask. Think about the consequences of your words!! Even if you believe you have irrefutable FACTS - DO NOT POST ANYTHING DERROGATORY ABOUT ANYONE IN ANY MED HELP FORUM!

I would like to say that I really appreciate all you do for us and others with medical problems. Up to now I have agreed with your handling of this situation.
Many of the people here are suffering and are on really nasty medications. It effects their judgement and their ability to express themselves.
Please understand this. By bringing this up again and not letting it die the death it deserves I think you have stirred the waters again. I don't think any good can come of it.
Thanks to you again and to all who provide support and information here but........I do not feel well and I think I need a break.
Best of luck to all and success in all your endeavors,
Steve

Dear MadByron,
I misinterpreted your posting and apologize. This past week has been very discouraging and I thought you were saying that Med Help was only allowing "pro-TX" information in the forum. Again, I am sorry.
Cindy
=======================================================
Dear Befuddled,
You can't seem to let this go, which is why I posted in the forum again today. You should have simply kept moved on to more positive things after my posting yesterday, but instead you posted the following:
----------------------------------
1) "Peebee was "Misinterpeted" as giving "Death Threats". (Oh That Is A Joke Within Itself)Come On!!!"
Med Help cannot take death threats lightly for obvious reasons. It's kind of like people "joking" that they have a bomb on a plane. Not a wise thing to do in today's world and for those who do, there are consequences!
2) I see that TNHepGuy Is Missing... (Was He Banned?)
What business is this of yours?
3) Ringer is Missing... (Was She Made To Feel Uncomfortable)
4) DebbieDo doesn't post much these days!
5) Louise Doesn't Post Much these days!
6) Will Dallas Come Back?
These musings of yours do not add to richness of this forum, they serve as a reminder of the negativity that has gone on here. LET IT GO
=====================================
This is the final word on the subject in this forum. Please stop all discussions about this issue and return to the purpose of the forum, which is exchange of HEP information and SUPPORT of each other.
Any further questions or comments can be sent to me via e-mail:

I just got off the phone with my gipa who reported that I am RNA-negative @ three months post-tx. I am trembling...
Congratulations. I can only imagine how great you must feel. You deserve this news - man it's been a while hasn't it? Good health. Mike
MadByron, Dirac:
whole lotta shaking going on.. and whooping and jumping. All the best to you guys - enjoy this victory! Dirac, since you're one of the few 4s around here maybe you should post a summary of your tx stats.
Steve : and where do you think you're going to Sir? We need you around here.

Thank you for the well wishes. I got some more good news an hour ago, namely that the cardiac symptoms I've had since about midway through treatment are a result of what my cardio guy described as "benign abnormalities". I probably should have had this checked out long ago, but I was not about to give up on treatment for anything less than hell freezing over.
Mike, my sincerest wish is that before long you'll be able to do much more than imagine how great it feels. There are many people in your corner and I

Just started Tx 1 hour ago. I am going out to a friends house for the weekend. I will report back later on how I feel. Right now, just a little strange with a weird taste in my mouth, nothing too bad.
By the way, the Redipen was simple and it didn't hurt at all.
Best wishes to all!
Pete

Actually, Cindy, I think I do get it and I definitely don't find it very "exciting to believe the conspiracy theories put forth by Balrog and Cuteus, that Med Help will only allow those who agree with us to remain in the forum...", nor do I believe the Med Help organization is biased for or against tx, or in allegiance with any person or entity with a stake in this question. My comment regarding the pro-tx bias of the forum is not intended to reflect what I believe to be the opinions or preferences of the forum hosts. Rather, because the preponderance of comments posted is from people on tx, the majority of opinions expressed in the forum
