As soon as I got home from the hospital I started particpating in stroke
forums. First as a lurker, sometimes asking questions and eventually
becoming a prolific poster of answers. This behavior got me kicked off
of several forums for not following their rules.
Health Boards, ejected, No website with a forum is allowed to be posted
WEMove, warned because posting a link to a .com website.
MedHelp, warned because posted complete article, inluding attribution, copyright rules.
Stroke
Survivors Advocacy Network, ejected, I think this was because I was
emailing James Baranski - president of the NSA - describing how badly
the NSA is missing its mission. That somehow got to the creator of the
network and I was blackballed. 3 months later I tried logging in again
and it worked, but my pictures and blogs were deleted, leaving my
messages and some discussions intact. Well I won't be gracing them
again.
I haven't given up. These are just minor irritations, they seem to have no concept of how easy it is to get an email address.
If
they truly wanted to help survivors they would figure out a way to
handle these minor problems. So I created this blog where I can spout
off to my hearts content. So far the feedback has been good. I had saved
most of my best postings and have recreated them here.
