David,
Just wanted to tell you that you crack me up and it really looks like you may be going fishing real soon with everything that you are stocking up on! LMAO!

Please bring ChronicIL BACK!! We miss her and need her!

Yes, I still would like to hear the outcome of the review. You can follow the helpful link to my email address if you want to reach me that way.

1littleb,
Just make sure that you don't get any unsavory people writing to you! Lol.

Rhonda, from the postings I've seen, you're a lovely, helpful person. The tension we've experienced does tend to lend itself to a feeling of being "unsafe"., or as you put it paranoid.

I think the only way the tension will ease is w/ some resolution for ChronicIL. Being declared, for all intents and purposes, an non-person to a group that feels like family is devastating not only to the "non-person" but to the "family".

Well said Nealytee.

I really don't like to fish. Maybe if I had someone to take the hook out.

I think you could cut the line, throw it back, and then if you catch the same fish it won't count as two.

I had a couple of pretty bad flare ups today. I wish W/C would make a decision.

David.

...This is still going on?

I think DS is leaving this up to show how we can bond............?????

Thanks 1litteb. I truly feel that way!! I keep cking this tread hoping for a response from someone in authority but see nothing. Very upsetting.

ChronicIL needs to be reinstated.
This has gone on long enough. Whatever has happened is over and done and everyone should get a second chance.
We need our group back. Like she quoted from Rodney King..." Why can't we all just get along"
You go girl. I really miss you.

Well guys, I think the *lack* of response from the Admin here after her initial post tells reference the odds of getting ChronicIL back. "Ain't gonna happen!" Over 100 replies to Jessica's post, and not ONE reply of response to folks? Pretty pitiful if you ask me. Sad....

I am not a member of this board, although I live in chronic pain from RA and its effects. I am also bipolar, and we started the "banning" thread at Daily Strength Members - it was about 2 particular people, not trolls, who were bipolar. They did some bad things, some wrong things, but they were part of the family.

I do not know what this person did to get themself banned here, and I think that is a big issue. It sounds like DS is not going to reply to your requests to reinstate your friend. I think we really do need for that person to know the reasons they are warned/suspended and eventually banned. You can't change your behavior unless you know the reason.

Bipolar is now a dry boring board. I have some wonderful friends there, but it is like all the other bipolar forums I have been in - people whining about their problems.

Maybe we all need to get together and petition DS for some better ways of managing problems? I don't know how to go about it, since they didn't listen to us, and they don't appear to be listening to you.

Sorry for intruding. Maybe I should join, and give you some of my ways of coping with chronic pain. I can't take pain meds because they give me migraines. So I am very creative at trying to ignore coping with diseases that have made me crippled and left me living in pain.

Angela,
Of course you are welcome here. Do we have a group here that is always in total agreement, no. I would say that we have a good group and family that has their moments.

Anyway if you feel compelled to add to this group I would like to say, welcome.

David.

Angela, you are not intruding. Read your posts on Banning thread and thought they were very good!! Welcome

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask if anyone else received a message from ds regarding the banning of chronicill? I sent a message to them on the feedback section. They said that they were investigating it. I would have thought they would have done that before they banned someone. Hugs to all.
