I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Good evening all. Sure enjoyed the sister pictures. So cool you could get together. Have been working on home decorating projects the last three days (window treatments) and haven't been on BCO too much. I see there's been a bit of hmmmm ..... How can I say it ..... Drama ..... I think I'm glad I missed it. I don't understand banning Sunflowers though. Maybe I didn't see what the mods saw ???? I hope it's a temporary, very short, ban. I've been having a rough time with fatigue this go round. It's been 8 days since chemo and I'm still dragging myself around. Wanted to take my grandson to Busch Gardens next week but will wait til August. Sure need my best energy for that! Wishing everyone peace.

BCO is getting a black eye.



I do not understand how moderators can chastise, delete and ban the reasonable and frustrated members of this community while letting the obvious problem fester and ooze it's malignancy.



Mods you have to wonder why so many reasonable and thoughtful people are so frustrated and upset. It's pouring into communications with you because there is a problem and it's not being handled.



I don't envy your position but there IS a problem and it's spreading......like a cancer.

And I would like to follow up to something Bluedahlia said...it is not just Sunflowers that is paying the price.  It is every woman (and man) that may come along that she would have supported by sharing her experience. 

Mods, I know that you have a difficult job here.  But, with all respect, just blocking out people you disagree with is a lousy solution.  Sometimes, they are persuading people that are very vulnerable.  I speak from personal experience.  My father died of lung cancer...well, he died of the complications of combining conventional treatments with insane vitamin treatments.  He was desperate and scared and lousy at critical thinking.  His platelet count at the end was atrociously low.  And the people administering the alternative treatments were woefully unaware.  The conventional doctors weren't doing much better, either.  The combination was deadly.  If someone has knowledge that can help guide someone through the terrifying start of the lousy cancer journey, I don't think they should ignore them.  If someone is saying something that is harmful to that someone starting their journey, then they should be responded to, for the sake of vulnerable women and men starting out.  IMHO.

I wasn't really saying not to call someone out by name, though I certainly won't do that anymore-I was trying to point out that the unseen "reporters" seem to have the power here.

YramAL... I am sorry.  If that was your gentle way of telling me to drop it here on this thread for the sake of the thread, I will stop.  I don't want to cause any trouble for anyone here, for sure.

Athena has been banned for one month for disagreeing with the mods.

This is seriously wrong.   I can't believe Athena was also banned!

I've only been on this thread for a short while, and I love all you ladies.  I feel like I'm with kindred souls.  Banning people for disagreeing with the Mods seems overly harsh and out of keeping with the goal of this site - and this thread in particular.  

Yup.  Good idea, Blue.  Lights out at 11, well 11:20.  Night all.

CT scan early tomorrow morning. I'm out and hoping for good results. Night all.

May tomorrow bring all the best of news, Chickadee!

Catching up on this thread a little late (after most of you have gone beddy-byes already).  But I have a question for each of you here:  Have you ever seen either a harmful (bad advice) or hurtful (willfully insulting) post from either Sunflowers or Athena?

I haven't.  Two people who are encouraging, kind, outspoken (when necessary and appropriate!) and, above all, breast cancer patients, have been banned.

For the life of me, I do not understand why. 

Chickadee,

Will be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping for a great scan!

Night all.
