Behavior in this Forum

I'm not going to ask you all to lay off Enchanter. But I am going ask: Why do you continue to respond to his threads if you don't have anything useful to say to him? What skin off your nose is it if I try to help him when I can see that he's making an effort to listen to me?

And I would ask those of you who continue to tease or make fun of Enchanter to think about this: Will our treatment of people like Enchanted make confused, sleepy, tired, and exhausted lurkers who are grappling with the idea that they may have OSA feel like they will be welcomed or ridiculed if they finally get brave enough to post something with a title along the lines of "Might I have apnea?"?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for saying what many of us have thought in reference to Enchanter and so many others who have come here for help, understanding and guidance; only to be met by mean, nasty, unkind ego maniacs!

Sleep well... you sure deserve it!

+ 1 to that, ems.
And thank you for stepping up to the plate on this issue. It would be helpful to see others express their views about behavior in this forum. I wish the webmaster could add an icon at the top of the screen right next to the Home button that would link to the Forum's rules about one's conduct here. After a fair amount of digging I found them and they say some of what you've just said. Kudos to robysue as well.

Everything is resolved and quiet now.

Why are you trying to start the whole thing up again?

[tedburnsIII]

Because it needs to be addressed, 'warts and all'.

Please see how the morons in here ruined a nice thread. It's embarassing, especially in light of the newbie first post here.

Pot calling the kettle black. Things were going so well until you joined the forum = classical definition of a troll

Damn, that FOL has more exits than James Brown at the Apollo...

There has been some rough behavior on this forum, especially over the few years, however I usually choose not to get involved in it. Some people just like to stir things up and beyond that I often find that their posts/replies usually aren't worth reading or responding to anyway. Self-editing is always your option and thanks to our easygoing sponsors, CPAP.com, a wonderful privilege we all enjoy. OTH, self-policing by castigation is always hard to implement on a forum (or virtually any venue), but it's better than the other option which is blanket censorship.

Yeah, James Brown was the master of the over-the-top farewell... the fans would scream in anger if he didn't do the COMPLETE cape trick If you haven't seen it:

Something genius!

Not everyone is on track for sainthood like robysue and pugsy. Its what makes the world interesting. At least some of the "morons" on here know what side of the fence we're on, and stand our ground. None of the back and forth, depding on which way the wind blows.
Oh...and this attempt to SHAME members who have been verbal about being annoyed? Pathetic.

well, it is better than some sleazy skulking around in the dark, secretly trying to stab someone.... eh?

Have you been watching too much TV? Yikes!

Now I get it! You're really Sheldon in disguise! It all makes sense now!

I am abstaining from this thread, because it is unlikely to accomplish anything positive.
The mental and emotional issues of the OP are substantial, and no one here is in any position to help or correct it.
As for me, I prefer to let the poopmeister suffer--if only folks would ignore his grandstanding ass!

BAZINGA!

I used to have a roommate that really WAS sheldon.... the whole aspergers thing, very smart, but absolutely clueless about other peoples emotions, had to constantly analyze and try to emulate the non-verbal communication all around him, etc.
