My Space has an MS group? Well, same initials anyway.

So you mean it was like a Salem witch hunt? No, go on!

Im just really sorry it had to get so ugly...
like Iv'e said before, this site has saved my butt this last year and I only wish everyone has the same experience.

LOL Larry, about 10 of them! Need someone to talk about LDN though!

When you give disrespect you will get disprespected, when you hate , you will be hated. Everything that played out here was not just Helen, but many players in the game. I don't see why she was removed and everyone else is still here. YES, she was passionate in her beliefs and did speak her mind without holding back, but she didn't steal anyone's pic, or wish anyone dead. So, yeah, I think something isn't right here.

Sadly dd, she was removed from DS. She didn't want to leave, but someone musta had it in for her. Why? I guess because she wouldn't lie down and take it like the rest of us have/had to do. Ds did her a favor anyways. The past several months has just been ridiculous on this board. I belong to other groups too, and NONE of this stuff happens.

I'll say a prayer for Helen, maybe we all should. :(

OH! I didn't realize she was removed!?? all her posts, everything? Oh wow.

I agree, something dosnt seem right about this.

Yes, I learned this yesterday. Also that f-it2007 was banned too. I got a message from DS about it. But I can't see helen being put in that same category. She was a lovely person if you really knew her. She was helping anyone she could, and she has such a zest for life. I just hope this doesn't effect her too much. I know she was pretty upset yesterday.

If any of you have an ounce of compassion please do not take this as a victory, but instead realize that this could have been you. Maybe we all need to reflect on our behaviors and see how we can learn from this on how to treat others better.

I will also sunny! I was out most of the day yesterday, just came back, and everything of hers was gone! My assumption was wrong, but never the less, the same. This does make it even more sad than I had realized! While other are allowed ti throw around the "F" word, then she is who they remove? I don't get it!

I have to say that it is a shame that it had to come to that. I was a big fan of Helen and her strength and committment and her knowledge about things that can help us all until she wouldn't give up the arguing even after everyone apologized over and over. We all make mistakes. Even Helen. After the initial drama - everyone apologized and she kept posting comments about it. I don't think anyone posted bad words or other stuff like that until a week or so had gone on and on after everyone begged for forgiveness and asked to move on from it all. At that point it became all about drama and not really helpful to anyone at all who was searching for help - be it from LDN or anything else. All the posts that really needed help were sent to the bottom because of drama that wouldn't get dropped -even after she was begged to stop. It became a drama show instead of help site.
It is my understanding that she too sent complaints about all of this to Doug at DS. She said she got personal messages that she felt weren't nice and then it seemed to me that she would try to respond to them on this board. And who knows what those personal messages said - we didn't see them -but just seeing her side of the responses made her look vindictive. I am sure he didn't make his decision lightly. He had info on all sides to weigh and I am sure he made the best choice based on what was helpful and meaningful for the board. He began this board for that reason and I am sure he wants to keep it that way.

Like I said, I did like Helen but she - and nobody else - made me not want to read anymore of her posts. I come to this board for advice and frienship. Not middle school drama. I just want this site to go back to the helpful and supportive site it once was. I love hearing info on LDN and all other potential treatments!! I love reading LarryLDN's progress. It gives us all great hope!! I hope that never changes.
I just want the drama to end. I truly need the help this site provides to me everyday. God Bless us all!! :-)

I saw the posts from BOTH and both were just as guilty of stirring things up with their posts. Online you need to grow a thick skin, regardless of what board it is, there CAN always be trouble

I do miss Helen and I am sorry she is not here. If anyone talks to her befre I do please tell her to call me.She has my number. I loved her dearly as a friend. DD is gone as well what the heck happen there? I believe
we are at fault to some degree for paticipating in those posts and keeping them going. So am I am truely sorry for that. Yes to some degree it was like a Salem Witch Hunt....I realized yesterday that Helen was gone and it made me very upset. I am still waiting to see who is next.. becuz it was no all Helen's fault.

I agree, it wasn't all Helen's fault, everybody that posted carries some responsibility in this. I'm not sure if I did, but I certainly read.

if you have not had the pleasure of knowing helen personally you should not judge her she is a very loving caring person i am happy she is my friend she only has love in her heart for others and only wants to help others as her friend i know that she will not give in to ms and that says a lot about who she is
