It's rather difficult to post to this board because my postings keep getting deleted. I try to follow the rules and have been a member of this board since well before we morphed the group to COPD Information Forum.

My last few postings have been deleted because the admin said even though there was no problem with my posting that it might cause a political debate. Other boards were quite open about these serious subjects and I learned a lot.
I haven't posted for quite a while & assume this one will be deleted too.

In the meantime I read every word on the forum and am glad you are here especially the newcomer.

Yes Joe, the Heavy On The Delete Hand has just about killed this forum, so many left fed up. I also always enjoyed your posts. I don't come here enough so I missed any posts you may have made before they got deleted. I realize this is a COPD form but............

Joe, now my post will be delted along with yours, no dissent allowed

If you were here several years ago, before the forum got "heavy handed", you would remember how bad it got some days. More fighting than helping.
Sure sometimes it would be nice to post what "I" may think is okay, but someone has to decide and try not to let this place melt down. It will mean some hurt feelings, but the forum will be the winner as well as all the people out there who are scared to death of this ailment they know nothing about, and care less about our personal beliefs.

ConnieAZ,

I agree with every word that you said. And remember a lot of posts that I thought should be deleted because they were not written in a neutral or positive tone. Some even made negative attacks on other individuals yet stayed on the forum.

I have a fev1% in the mid-teens and am on medicare. The posts that were deleted concerned my thirst for the knowledge of what healthcare I faced in the future.
I mentioned no political parties or individuals. I don't believe a negative thing was said.

But I was told that some other person might make a controversial reply to my post.
So my posts were cut.

Joe

Isn't it a shame when we can't post about something we want...and need...to learn abouto for fear of how someone else might react to it. I can, however, see how certain topics can become bones of contention. As far as the health care bill currently being considered by the government, nothing is settled even among themselves so there's absolutely no way we're going to find out what's what until a bill is proposed in it's final...or even semi-final....form.

PennnyUSA,

I was trying to find out information on various health bills and the legislative process.
I did find all I wanted to know on other forums. We are talking about my life here and I wanted to know what changes if any the guvmint were going to make to my medicare benefits. Unfortunately I had to go to other forums rather than what I thought was my home forum for an answer.
I think I've said enough about it and will limit my posting to positive subjects.
Hope you waved as you went thru Texas.

Joe

P.S. There are a lot of people on these forums who are prescribed large doses of predisone. It gives me PMS and I think a large portion of the bickering on these boards is due to the use of this life saving medicine. After a long taper I haven't used any pred in 6 months. Being off it makes me much less combative.

Joe, you've also had to deal with some things this year that others have never had to deal with which can also make a difference.

We're in NY now, headed for OH. Will be back in TX this coming winter, for sure, health permitting.

I don't recall or didn't see the posts you made and am sorry that it should have happened that way. I've had a couple deleted too. Its a matter of the reading that someone else sees in the post.
