I don't want to ask Alex or any of the moderators.... I wanted a poll question for the Users.... That's the difference!

Oh I totally understand that. It just isn't going to achieve anything. If you want to achieve something you'll need to address the person who can do something.

We, the users, do not have rights.

Personally I know that there is no way to keep someone from a board...no matter what. But I think that the attempt is good. It send s message. If you make it hard, there will be neough people that won't try to keep gaining access. they'll get the picture and move on with their lives. there are some that just won't, and that is the true necessary evil of the internet. But i applaud the attempt, and hope that it send enough messages, and at least weeds out the people who give up on trying. Eventually...it gets tiring. I can't imagine anyone having the time or energy to continually create new accounts from spoofed ip's just to keep coming back to make asses of themselves. So yes...I applaud the attempt at control. At least it shows the board mods an owner are trying to keep this a safe place for those trying to get support.

That exactly is more of the type of opinoin I was looking for!! I applaud you for the great opinion. I myself am of the opposite opinion that if you just ignore them, they will get bored and go away.

But still what you just said is what I was curious to learn... and that was what everyone besides myself thought about it.

Again... I'm not trying to change anything so addressing them would be unnecessary. I don't care about our rights... I care about peoples opinions... That's why I asked!

:) *hugs*

I see what you mean...I really do, but I don't think that it is the proper way of doing thing. Just because we can't arrest all the drug pushers on the streets doesn't mean we shouldn't try. That applies the same to this. you might not get all of them...but you get most of them.

Well I just thought the "Ignore and they'll go away policy" could be sucessful and I've never seen it tried here since there are always "TROLL" names.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks that "Banning is ineffective" and I can accept that but I had to ask!

Hey Cash.... I agree with you!

Well we are losing the poll.... but thanks for agreeing with me! I also empathize with the other side but really I've never seen banning work. It just seems like message boards in general are plaqued with this stuff!

I don't like the banning or the censorship and would rather post at a site that is more free with the rules... but it's not my choice (I get that). I continue to post here (occassionaly) but still it's urks me when members are getting banned weather I liked them or not!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
