Darryn,

You have been asked by several admins and moderators to please use a less provocative tone. You may have noticed that several people have been offended by both the title and the content of your original post in this thread. KickAS is a site dedicated to supporting people who suffer from a debilitating disease. Many are living in significant pain and do not deserve to be subjected to your scathing attacks. People are not asking you to be "cruel to be kind" so it's quite inappropriate for you to decide to try to use this tactic.

I know that members who do not follow the NSD are nevertheless delighted to hear of success stories from those who do just as we are delighted when we learn that a medication such as Remicade is successful. This does not justify anyone trying to coerce others into following whatever treatment happens to be working for them.

You have expressed considerable anger in a number of other threads, including the one in which you decided to leave KickAS. Would you be comfortable if another member suggested that "you need to get in control of your emotions if reading someone's post on the internet is triggering your anger"? Please consider, before posting, the impact your words may have on other members. One way to do this is to consider how you would feel if these words were directed to you.

KickAS is a wonderful site. It is rare to find a forum where the tone is so consistently positive and kind. It would be disappointing if this standard were to be lowered on a regular basis and people no longer felt welcome and supported. Please consider how you can contribute to the positive content of KickAS.
