Concerns about missing Armani threads on hair loss help - Farrel?

[Desperately Seeking Hair]

I previously voiced my concerns about this issue on the Armani lawsuit topic. But I see that Bill no longer wants us to post there about hair loss help. If I am not posting this in the right section, feel free to move it.

I first want to say that I've been a member of hair loss help for almost a year and this one for a much shorter period of time. Personally, I like both forums for different reasons.

I think any person doing illegal activities should be brought to justice. But it seems like some of what homa predicted has come true. I am really concerned that all the recent controversial Armani threads are missing from hair loss help. If Farrel hasn't been paid off like homa claims, then where are these Armani threads and why isn't anyone voicing their concerns about him over there anymore?

I am posting my concerns on this forum instead of hair loss help because I'm afraid that speaking out there will get me banned. As a precaution, I am posting under a different name on this forum.

But I think Farrel owes us an explanation as to why he is censoring posters from expressing concerns about Dr. Armani instead of sweeping these concerns under the carpet. I also don't think it's right that we have to walk on eggshells over there fearing that voicing an opinion that disagrees with Farrel will get us banned, like latinlotus. Farrel's silence over the last few weeks has been deafening.

He is migrating the threads, photos, etc... from the old forum to the new one.

Also, I think you should voice your concerns about the threads on HLH--I highly doubt Farrel will have an issue with it.

Maybe Jason, but I'm not referring to the patient web pages with photos, I'm talking about forum discussion threads. Don't you find it strange that the only ones that appear to be missing are the controversial ones about Armani? They used to be plastered over almost every hair transplant topic page but now there aren't any

Edit--Done with this situation

I hope not Jason. But if you are willing to start a thread over there listing these concerns, I and I'm sure other members will be grateful. I think Farrel owes us an explanation, don't you?

Desperately Seeking Hair,

Though Homa's claim that Dr. Armani paid off Farrel to remove certain threads are unsubstantiated, I too find it funny that the only threads that appear to be missing are unfavorable discussions about Dr. Armani.

It also appears that many members who have spoken out against Dr. Armani or have questioned Farrel's motives have been quickly banned. LatinLotus and Tsakalos are too such recent examples. Therefore, since you enjoy your membership at Hair Loss Help, I can understand using a different alias here to express your concerns.

I hope that Farrel hasn't stooped so low as to prevent members and guests from reading and posting their real concerns about Dr. Armani and his practice. This kind of censorship would be a detriment to prospective patients who have a right to hear both sides of an argument and make well informed decisions.

I look forward to hearing Farrel's response on this issue.

All the Best,

Bill

Thanks Bill Bill. Which one do you want to be called anyway?

Jason, you still thinking about posting over there?

Desperately Seeking Hair,

Apparently you are one of the few members of the patient based community to have the courage to voice your concern that Farrel, the owner and moderator of the Hair Loss Help, is sweeping criticisms of his advertising client - Dr. Alvi Armani - under the rug on his forum.

Dr. Armani sued me and this community for enabling members the right to criticize his work and lack of ethics. Apparently Farrel decided it was more convenient to sweep negative comments about Dr. Armani under the rug than stand up to Dr. Armani.

So who in the online patient community actually cares about keeping forums credible and free of covert manipulation? Those who have the balls to say so publicly are free to post a reply below - at least on this forum.

Edit---my compliments to Pat for his excellent argument.

Guys, I don't see what the fighting is about. Though I admit, I am not that familiar with the history.

All I know is that it's very fishy that the only threads missing from hair loss help are controversial Dr. Armani posts. And where are the other outspoken members that I've seen post concerns publicly on the Armani lawsuit thread?

Jason, are you going to post my concerns over there like you promised, or are you afraid you'll get banned from there also?
