      So I've been master and commander of the good ship Polaris all summer and upon my return what do I see? Arrrgh mateys, its a smelly pile of BG excrement. Now Nic and I had a long and mutual admiration for each other. And truth be told, I have had to withdraw from personal relationships here. The losses have been too great and the pain too deep. But what an evil way to conjure up Nics memory. Nic didn't ever need anyone to defend her. What a strong minded woman she was. And she was too damed special to be used as a personal vendetta. Grow up and/or sober up Lisa.

      On a better note, Hiigh to all my old friends here. Its not that I don't like ypu anymore. Its just that I've moved on.  Vickie, if you happen to see this, I will be on Maui in Nov. Staying in Ekahi Village, Wailea. The snobby area heh heh. But I would be happy to come by for a piece of your pie. Or a sandwhich even. 🙂

          Hey you SOPOS—I TOTALLY avoided Tampa/Clearwater this summer—went right down the middle of the state instead.  I could STILL smell ya though, especially on those HOT AND HUMID days in Orlando!  We almost didn't make it—–if we hadn't taken ice water and towels to go around our necks, I think the heat would'a killed us all at Disney!  Then we had to stay another stinkin' day 'cause our alternator went out!  (Which made me miss a few things pre-convention!)  Wasn't near as hot in Ft. Laud — actually quite pleasant a couple of days.

          Oh Mr SOPOS Bill, I LOVE it when you call my Hawgs!  Woooooooo Pig Soooooweeeeee!  Razorbacks!! 

          Oh wait, you can listen to da band here:

          ps…. sober up? LOL I don't drink, you S-O-P-O-S!!  Grow up?  Nevah!!  YOU grew up and look how you turned out!  And you're absolutely right—Nic didn't need anyone coming to her defense, but it felt GOOD to call Rox out and tell it like it is!   You wouldn't believe the number of people that emailed and said stuff like: (And I Quite)… "Thanks for having the balls to say what we ALL have wanted to say for years" or "Way to go, she needs to 'hear' that—too bad she doesn't listen", etc. etc. etc. 

          If SHE would go away, I bet a lot of people would come back.  But we all know THAT ain't gonna happen. *sigh*  Just like you—you SAY you have moved on, but here you are!  I DID leave for many months; now I come back just a few times a year (posted more this month than I have in 2+ years).   I don't even do FaceBook too much; I don't have the time or energy to hang out here and argue over BS—raising 3 kids and taking care of my Mama is my numero uno priority!

                Bill Bill Bill…what a pile she's created. It's just a shame she can't own her crap. Poor Barbie, BG, Lisa- whatever name she's using today…let's talk about her mess.
                 
                Her crap is about revenge. No feelings for or about me ? Hardly…that's called indifference and you can't be indifferent to someone if you're constantly back-biting and sniping at them publicly.
                 
                This board starting going down around the same time the country did…when BG and her religious evangelist types decided to smear themselves all the country and the board…demanding that everyone put up with their choice of religious doctrine and blathering.  Unfortunately, for her, I was diagnosed with Melanoma around the same time.
                 
                I wasn't responsible for Lisa/BG/BarbieGirl's daughter using the MPIP MAIN BOARD as her platform for terrorizing dying cancer patients, I didn't make her tell cancer patients that when they died they would be rotting in hell while she, and her ever loving Mama, would be sitting at the right hand of God, smoking, drinking and gambling with Jesus for eternity. I didn't humiliate BG…she did that herself. She raised her daughter to hurt with that Texarkana religious voodoo – I merely commented on the shame of it all. One of many who commented on it. BG and her wacky Christian friends commenced a post vengeance  on those who disagreed with their views and she had a special hatred of me . Most of the other religious phonies had the good sense to attack anonymously…  she was, and is, hick-ignorant enough to believe her brand of crazy equal righteousness. She is the poster child of religion used for hatred and her lunacy is  the reason she stands out among the group who have the good sense to stay away from her public outbursts while privately egging her on.
                 
                The sad truth of the matter is that this board died a long time ago…a religious and a business death. Once it became less a private, social group of individuals with cancer and more a sounding board for the *anonymous* religious jihad –and the ownership switched to a fund-raising, corporate, censored organization –-many left.
                 
                BarbieGirl is a spiteful, back-biting, poor excuse for a Christian. If hounding me makes her  feel better about the humiliation she suffered when her true nature became apparent to all…then she should keep going, but realize everyone has her number and many are using her as a tool for their own religious-born hatred and private pain/anger. This behavior is an unattractive component to Christianity and BG  personifies everything that is ugly about her religion's mission. There are good Christians…they're the ones who dissociate themselves from her behavior and have the good sense and heart to practice what they preach.
                 
                Again, I AM keeping her Queen of the Galaxy designation—it's the only thing she's ever written I've enjoyed. I'll be interested to see how long this post, detailing her religious hypocrisy, stays on the board…her vitriolic statements about me seem to go unchallenged by the censor.

                        Since your powers of psychological deduction are rather poor, Doctor, you wouldn't happen to be an ophthalmologist by any chance?

                        The reason I ask…I swear I *saw * many others posting  their opinions on the moral dilemma long before I shared my own thoughts on fear and Melanoma. I didn't create that topic nor does stating my differing opinion constitute "creating pseudo-dilemmas". I don't agree with how the fearful are treated and it's an all too common occurrence on this board with many stages. If this is a board  where only late stage experience is tolerated or respected-that should be clearly stated- rather than using tactics of humiliation and exclusion. We know far too many early stage patients who have progressed to later stages and passed on to have this sort of thing accepted year after year.

                        These are the same thoughts I've shared about the subject for almost 10 years. My only "schtick" is  objecting to this treatment and knowing, from my experience,  that those who are further along in diagnosis can help shorten the learning curve and alleviate  the uncomfortable board responses with a bit of understanding… (you know, rather than ripping the fearful a new one). Maybe you can come onto the early stage board and share your insight into how we should treat the newly diagnosed and fearful?  I'm sure they'd appreciate your obvious way of belittling their concerns- I know I'm a big fan.

                        Whateva's? Cute, but I know you can do better.

                          Does your 'schtick' consist of  reminding others -further along in diagnosis -how to behave, when you will have nothing to do with it?

                          I have an idea, rather than this particular poster, why not actually invite the fearful to your early stage board? If only you had done that during the last moral dilemma, then well intentioned melanoma awareness nuts like myself may still have been able to link Eric's youtube videos to our political and media correspondence. (This is something I promised Eric and Jill I would do- but now that the videos are adult only, it is unlikely anyone will make the effort to see them.) 

                          You know,  I tried to talk to that poster, I even offered to hold his/her hand – you must practice selective reading R or you would have noticed. (Scorn my feeble attempts if you like, at least I tried.)

                             If others** further along in diagnosis ** are castrating fearful, early stage patients …that would fall into the area of advocating for early stage and the suggestion that a little understanding of  fear goes a long way to respecting the needs of all patients and helping keep this type of argument to a minimum. Perhaps it could assist in funneling these patients into an area where they can discuss their trivial experiences with cancer.

                            I  have an idea, rather than this particular poster, why not actually invite the fearful to your early stage board?

                            That would be why I continue to hang around after 10 years of this crap- but we only really ( as opposed to sarcastically) invite those we are certain are early stage and are looking for help or appear to be having trouble with their diagnosis.  That poster was anon ,and, after being ripped a new one, didn't come back to mention they were early stage. I  do not post on the main board unless I have a piece of information directly asked for ( usually related to kidney cancer or heart disease and I'm alerted to these by other people) . Sometimes after a post where it's suggested someone could be early they offer the info, but that didn't happen and the discussion became bogged down  by back and forth with the hate mongers that usually follow my  posts.  If they provide an e-mail, they are privately e-mailed. Sometimes, the more important patients refer those less deserving of respect to an early stage moderator- but only if they are aware they are early-stage or bother to take the time. That wasn't an option in this "dilemma".We used to get a lot of new, early patients in chat, but that is no longer happening.

                            You know,  I tried to talk to that poster, I even offered to hold his/her hand – you must practice selective reading R or you would have noticed.

                            I do practice selective reading…looking for new, frightened early stage patients in the headings on the main board, commenting on the social side when I think it's an early stage issue or I am involved ( like BG inserting me into her  last two posts)  or it's a fun topic involving someone I enjoy . I don't comment on the main board…the other moderator ot the early stage board does post /solicit  self- identified as early stage patients there …more than one of us posting there pushes more important info down the board. If you were trying to talk to the poster, I wasn't addressing you.

                            This is only a well- intentioned sugestion to  a revered *well-intentioned Melanoma awareness nut * interested in making the video available… have you asked Jill to e-mail a copy of the video that you can provide to your political and media awareness groups?As an awareness nut, you must be aware that videos can be posted to other sites where links are available and this one might even be able to be re-tooled and reposted under a different You Tube user and linked.

                                                      I think I get it now,  your 'schtick' is reminding others -further along in diagnosis – to ferret out and funnel fearful early staged patients to a safe place.  Is this a class you teach often R ? I would think you would have to given the fact we are not lacking in newcomers. 

                                                      Regarding Eric's video, I guess I'm hoping Jill can repost it to youtube somehow  ..youtube links are more likely to be opened than an attachment  (or a link to a lesser known video hosting site)  especially when received from an unknown corespondent.

                                                            Does your 'schtick' consist of  reminding others -further along in diagnosis -how to behave, when you will have nothing to do with it?

                                                             If others** further along in diagnosis ** are castrating fearful, early stage patients …that would fall into the area of advocating for early stage and the suggestion that a little understanding of  fear goes a long way to respecting the needs of all patients and helping keep this type of argument to a minimum. Perhaps it could assist in funneling these patients into an area where they can discuss their trivial experiences with cancer.

                                                            I  have an idea, rather than this particular poster, why not actually invite the fearful to your early stage board?

                                                            That would be why I continue to hang around after 10 years of this crap- but we only really ( as opposed to sarcastically) invite those we are certain are early stage and are looking for help or appear to be having trouble with their diagnosis.  That poster was anon ,and, after being ripped a new one, didn't come back to mention they were early stage. I  do not post on the main board unless I have a piece of information directly asked for ( usually related to kidney cancer or heart disease and I'm alerted to these by other people) . Sometimes after a post where it's suggested someone could be early they offer the info, but that didn't happen and the discussion became bogged down  by back and forth with the hate mongers that usually follow my  posts.  If they provide an e-mail, they are privately e-mailed. Sometimes, the more important patients refer those less deserving of respect to an early stage moderator- but only if they are aware they are early-stage or bother to take the time. That wasn't an option in this "dilemma".We used to get a lot of new, early patients in chat, but that is no longer happening.

                                                            You know,  I tried to talk to that poster, I even offered to hold his/her hand – you must practice selective reading R or you would have noticed.

                                                            I do practice selective reading…looking for new, frightened early stage patients in the headings on the main board, commenting on the social side when I think it's an early stage issue or I am involved ( like BG inserting me into her  last two posts)  or it's a fun topic involving someone I enjoy . I don't comment on the main board…the other moderator ot the early stage board does post /solicit  self- identified as early stage patients there …more than one of us posting there pushes more important info down the board. If you were trying to talk to the poster, I wasn't addressing you.

                                                            This is only a well- intentioned sugestion to  a revered *well-intentioned Melanoma awareness nut * interested in making the video available… have you asked Jill to e-mail a copy of the video that you can provide to your political and media awareness groups?As an awareness nut, you must be aware that videos can be posted to other sites where links are available and this one might even be able to be re-tooled and reposted under a different You Tube user and linked.

As I can't imagine deliberate misinterpretation on your part…let me assure you I was not calling for a moderator. As stated in my post– I'm interested in the response to the exchange- BG's rants are always so colorful and inappropriate.   Her deranged post should sit here forever…then, she could just copy and paste when she is in the mood for a little revenge.  Having to fit her axe into every situation probably takes precious time away from her praying and church-going.

No…and I'm not going to change my opinions based upon how the wind blows.

As I can't imagine deliberate misinterpretation on your part…let me assure you I was not calling for a moderator. As stated in my post– I'm interested in the response to the exchange- BG's rants are always so colorful and inappropriate.   Her deranged post should sit here forever…then, she could just copy and paste when she is in the mood for a little revenge.  Having to fit her axe into every situation probably takes precious time away from her praying and church-going.

I wouldn't be this callous and tell a new widow to forget it and get man-hunting… the fact you always try to portray me as such a hateful character says a lot about what happens here. Refusing to agree with your misinterpretation doesn't mean I won't own up to something I have done. I will apologize when I've done something wrong, but won't accept blame for things I haven't done. I did not insult you or try to hurt you.
                                                                                        After you refused to accept many other's explanations, and those looking for any opportunity to mix it up ( as was the purpose of the Darkside) joined in, it became apparent it was impossible and was no longer about the original misunderstanding. Haters gotta hate as my child often tells me when people cannot be reasoned with as seemed to be the case. I apologized — my post was misinterpreted and it wasn't my intention, but it was without accepting the blame for insulting you- because I DID NOT. That wasn't good enough. I am not going to admit to doing something I did not no matter how invested anyone was in portraying me in that light.

Just because you don't agree with my opinion or statements… doesn't make them wrong or invalid. Despite what you think, this event was important to me and I made certain I would remember it.

I saw someone expressing their pain, and being in a vulnerable place myself, responded to that. Then, for some reason, you felt compelled to scold MK and whoever else in that thread for showing vulnerablility. Not sure why you even had a dog in that fight – someone's love loss bothers you enough to tell them to get over it? After that, you were too intent on defending your interpretation of things, your image of being always right, too intent on telling me how wrong I was, to ever acknowledge how it might have come across. To ever say 'whoa, I can see how you thought that, based on the timeline, but that was not my intention.'

I responded to them- not to you. This has nothing to do with image, being right, telling you how wrong you were . How many times can someone assure you they are sorry for your pain and had no intention of hurting you?

It was a place where we let our hair down, said outrageous things and attempted to look at situations humorously. Many people specifically posted their "creations" to stim conversations…poems included. Hardly a sensitive, lovely place for the suffering and that wasn't the board's  purpose.

You decided to take it seriously, my response was the normal type for the board- waiting for another bus to come along was my attempt at lighter mood and humor.  I can do no more now to convince you than I did then…

I'm going to spend the evening relaxing. You, and anyone else who decides to jump on, can snark away ( please have the last word…Barbie just hates it when she can't accuse me of it )

But before I let you on on the laugh I'd like to point out that I am not going to talk about Nic's private blog, other than to say it was and is primarily for G. And if her mother found it helpful to talk to friends, then I am weeping with joy to have had a small part in that. End of.

Tedious. Any  long term poster knows all you have to do is type text in an off-site program and paste it here. Oooooh, I wonder who that can be?  You are becoming as irrational as the rest of your tag team. Using your logic, this must mean that you are claiming ownership of all the non-squishy anonymous text?  You can put down your Bassett Hound and magnifying glass…I am not responsible for all the past or future anon posts that use *words*  or the bold type option either .

                                                                                                                                        Ever turn your mirror on yourself ? No matter the topic-you and yours are determined to view my words out of context , using any opportunity to apply a false intention or unkind motive – using anything to accomplish your goals. Linda, besides acting like a pesky harpy- you are always trying too hard. During your latest run I've hit upon who you remind me of…Igor in Frankenstein- the sniveling, smarmy , hand-wringing lackey. You seem to take similar pride in following your friends around and striking out.

                                                                                                                                        It's obvious your circle believes you few are the supreme, valuable / giving members of the social group and you must monitor and direct all interaction here. The only behavior you don't police is your own. We have quite a few Stg4 people here who post like hellions ( some of them 20+ years Stg.4) and *I* am not the only one who respond to them in kind. Funny, but I've never seen you jump and take exception or try to shame any of these responders after they post their snark to a Stage 4. Where are you when these patients are being responded to harshly? Unless it's me-nothing. You couldn't be more hypocritical if you tried. You can also save your faux apology and sarcastic show of concern. If ever in need -you and your group of vindictive, self-satisfied pot-stirrers would be the last place I would turn for help. You are the least self-aware people I've ever had the misfortune to encounter— constantly demanding respectful posting while chumming up every opportunity to  post disrespect of your own. 

                                                                                                                                         Again,  I'm done responding to your 'good works' , so PLEASE have the last word- nothing I like better than foiling "Barbiedoll and her plastic friends." Have a super-de-dooper weekend, Igorina !

I think most readers know that LV and I were fortunate to have a very close friendship with Nic. And when someone says 'you 2'  to me these days I naturally think of LV and myself. (Sorry LV -but knowing you, I doubt you will hold it against me.)  

                                                                                                                                                    I'm not sure if you have lost anyone to melanoma anon, or if you are the patient yourself, but we are grieving for our dear friend and this pettiness is not helping.

                                                                                                                                                    Great typos BTW, but dinna fash yerself – I have no desire to know who you are. Incase you haven't noticed, I'm in this game to fight underage tanning (not internet ghosts) and desperately hope to help people catch their primaries sooner. Nic and LV have been more supportive than many of my own family members – and at the risk of giving away too many SECRETS …the three of us have spent more time laughing at my RL antics (and especially LV's for that matter:) than wasting precious time talking about some pitiless poster here.

Actually, I'm feeling a huge Nic chuckle coming on here, and I am ever so grateful for that. But before I let you on on the laugh I'd like to point out that I am not going to talk about Nic's private blog, other than to say it was and is primarily for G. And if her mother found it helpful to talk to friends, then I am weeping with joy to have had a small part in that. End of. 

                                                                                                                                                      So now I have to ask you this… have you even been following the plot? I gather you are a fan of R's – so what in the world ever gave you the impression I was too?

Haters gotta hate as my child often tells me when people cannot be reasoned with as seemed to be the case. I apologized — my post was misinterpreted and it wasn't my intention, but it was without accepting the blame for insulting you- because I DID NOT. That wasn't good enough.
