TAMMY Re: Wierd question re: hot flashes? To TammyFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Oct 28 05:53:47 2003
Hello, Tammy. I was going to stay out of the fray, but after consideration, I felt I must post on a few points. Firstly, you seem to be new to the forum. Welcome. Secondly, in fairness to the other poster who originally noted a message to you, I personally visited your website to see what all the drama was about. Truthfully, your website does not say that you offer your services for free, so to be honest, while the other poster may have been harsh, they were not that out of bounds for sharing an opinion about your services. That coupled with the facts that you advertise your pending book and also ask for financial support regarding your awareness team idea is probably what aggravated some people. You've clarified now that you are not doing it for a fee, so I'm sure that all is well in that area and we can move on. You have to remember, many of the women here have been burned by so called spiritual healing and other estoteric services, so perhaps they are on the defensive. That's all. Try to have a little understanding for the atmosphere here before you post things like that, as they may inflame others, whether their feelings about your posts are real or perceived. Thirdly, Lea has been here far longer than you. She is an employee of the company that hosts this place, and therefore entitled to post anytime she'd like, particularly when she brings opposing experiences and/or viewpoints to posts like the soy thread. Simply because you don't like it, doesn't make it wrong - and the same goes for your posts...simply because someone else doesn't like what you say, doesn't necessarily make it wrong - it just means that this is a place for sharing. You do need to understand something, however -- there are far too many anonymous posters here to count. All post with the same address provided by the system - anonymous@medispecialty.com. That does NOT mean that they are all Lea, as you have accused her of doing. Her address is clearly visible in her posts, she is not anonymous and she did not attack you. Nor were her posts hurtful to you. You accuse others of being judgmental and what not, yet you are doing the same thing. MANY people here post anonymously, myself included - for many reasons. Maybe some of us don't want our medical history widely displayed on the internet, maybe some of us log in from work and can't have a trail, maybe some of us just want to protect our privacy, as is our right to do. Don't malign others for not putting all their business out here as you have done. You also need to take stock in that while your approaches may work, they do not work for everyone and your way is not the only way. Please try to be a little more tolerable, and your experience here will be much more enjoyable. Lastly, in several of your posts I've noticed you say that when the period stops, Endo stops. That's simply not true. If it were, pregnancy and menopause or hysterectomy would be cures, and they are not. Endo has been diagnosed in children before their first period, in 80+ year old women and even a handful of men. There is no cure. While menopause may alleviate the symptoms in lots of folks, it is by no means going to necessarily stop the Endo as you've stated. Again, welcome to the forum. I think you will find it an interesting place in which to share your thoughts with others, but remember, your way is not the only way, and answering every single post from every single woman, with the same exact answer, is not going to endear you to others here who have been struggling for many years. Note that this message is not intended to be offensive, but rather a frank and truthful observation from someone who has been on the forum here for years and read the recent threads with interest. We are all allowed to share our thoughts - even those you don't agree with - without fear of reprisal; you included. From an outsider's view, I see someone writing in response to every single post with the same type of answer and then jumping up defensively when someone else responds in opposition. That's not the way this forum works. I hope that you receive this note in the spirit in which it was intended. I'm not bashing you, as I'm sure you'll claim, but rather sharing my view of what's transpired here over the last couple days and providing ways in which perhaps we can all co-exist peacefully.
>>I just noted that the harsh email i received from anonymous@obgyn.net is actually part of the OBGYN team. Why is it she is allowed to post harsh emails with damaging comments. that is not at all professional. i thougt forums were monitored for this sort of thing. does no one monitor the forum? Not that i am remotely bothered by the individual just that in UK this sort of bad behaviour on the net is not accepted.
