I think that that is really out of order.

Consider how many members this website has; you expect him to be able to monitor every comment in every thread? Every hug and private message? The DS guys are neither Big Brother not superheroes! Not only will they be trying to keep tabs on the content of DS but also designing and maintaining the site, which is MASSIVE.
Of course he has to promote the badges; how else do you think that he can keep this site FREE?
I reckon that you should have a little think before you rant.

I have to differ with you about Doug not caring...if he didn't care none of us would be here.

Doug does care, but he and DS support can only do so much. DS is one of the biggest sites that I have EVER been a part of. It's takes a lot of time and money to maintain it. I don't mind the ads or badges, it keeps this site free. And provides them with money they can donate to help others. I have to disagree with you here and that's just MY opinion.

This place is for profit, not the betterment of humanity... I don't see what's so hard to comprehend about capitalism.

What I think is if you don't like this site then leave. It has been said by just about everyone here, by about just everyone here..so it is not fair to put the blame on Doug. Doug has not lost anything..I don't see him charging people b/c there are plenty of people that cannot even afford it. If the site is not working for you then leave.

As for the threads about Doug, we should all be thankful for what we do have here instead of bitching about what he's not doing.

Sorry, Im a purist- Ill always bitch about things. I don't know why, I've already fucked him out of his ads on all my machines- so I really don't have advertising to complain about on this site personally. Im just saying it's for profit.

We are all entitled to our own thoughts and opinions and if mine don't agree with yours then so be it. I'm entitled to my opinions just like the rest of you. Maybe you should just thank God that we live in a country where we can still express those opinions!

Definitely allowed to have you own opinion here, so long as it doesn't pertain to anything relevant to the actual world.

There are so many personalities here with many problems that come from many backgrounds. There are some that love to shock, get thrills, thinking they are so smart and have figured certain people out and label. Talk about what they have endured,what a good person they are, antagonize, start word wars,laugh at people, only they are the smart ones, yet, they have the most problems and will stay stuck in their little world. Young and old here have diverse backgrounds. Many are sane and many will not allow themselves to get well even though they want to.Freedom of speech, throwing rocks, quoting little verses from the Bible to feebly state their point. Judging. Everyone judges one another. When we leave the house we are judged. How we speak, we are judged...The 10 commandments were given to prevent hurt to ourselves and others. No one has kept them and God did not expect us to keep them. They are a guide to live by. Some laugh at these. That is their business.

Doug is one person and has done a tremendous job here. He can not baby sit the pedophiles, any who wants to antagonize and degrade his efforts.

You have reported abuse. Just how can one person that has helped many, since I have been here for 8-9 months take care of everyone. Jump in and take care of pedophiles. There are ways to do this. It has been done.

Believe me.. what Doug gets from ads is why everyone can be here. He is not making a killing. Just like any other business. Until one owns a business and sees what really goes on then one can not understand.

Leave please. Go somewhere else and get attention. There are so many that got well because they wanted to. Then they left when the timing was right.

Everyone should thank Doug for dreaming up this site. Complaints will always be. Do something else and take charge of your life.

I don't mean to sound attacking. But, I will take up for dough and this site. He has done more behind the scenes than you will ever know.

Many blessing to you.

bump

theres hundred of communities, and he probly gets hundreds of messages. so don't be so hard on him he has a life! he can't sit around and listen to us whine all day

Exactly...*bump*

Not much to add. Just that Doug stopped someone who was harassing me from contacting me anymore. The system does work It just may take some time for him to fully investigate matters. Who knows maybe the faze of the moon is just rite to set all the wackos off, and he's busier then ever.

Doug has been a supportive person. He is caring and compassionate. I know this from personal experience. He is ONE MAN and cannot be everything to everyone. Slandering him in this way is uncalled for. You are entitled to your opinion and that is fine, but please be respectful of this site and who helped create it!

Why is there such an attack on Doug suddenly???
