I'm just glad we have the ignore feature; and I encourage everyone to use it when appropriate.

You seem to struggling with context of Bill's comment, perhaps the following analogy will help:

If you invite some friends round for a barbeque and one of your guest's pisses in a bush you might raise an eyebrow, if that same friend pisses on your hot dog you would ask him to leave the party.

As this was your thread originally, would you care to continue its original theme or confirm you misunderstood the structure of the site?

Dewayne ??“ I sympathise with your "ignore" feature, but if we do not respond, new readers of this site may be swayed and therefore lose the benefit that this site has to offer in researching HT's.

I am defending this site not because it is perfect and not because I agree with everything that is posted, what the majority of members would agree (IMO) is that it is a great research tool and has benefited many of us.*

It is sometimes necessary to defend this great community against adersaries who seem to have nothing better to do than attempt to smear our good name and the patient revolution. Patients holding doctors accountable for their actions is not popular with clinics who don't continue to evolve to the newest, latest, and greatest techniques.

Thanks to the majority of the members who can see through the masquerades of a few agenda driven posters.

The "GThompson's" of the world will occasionally make an appearance trying to discredit what we stand for. But we have stood for ten years helping hair loss sufferers find real solutions from only the best surgeons. We will continue to stand against and tolerate our critics, including physicians who have sued us because we wouldn't lower our standards and recommend them.

Thanks to all of you who support our efforts and help balding men and women find real solutions on a daily basis.

Best wishes,

Bill

Just as physicians and clinics should be accountable for their results, moderators of health based blogs need to create an environment which permits people to exchange accurate information. You have been down right rude and accusatory. This only serves to make you appear insecure in your opinions and just reinforces what your signature states......not backed by any medical authority, even the clinic you work with. Last Friday's PBS New Hour sited the internet as the number one cause of misconceptions because of posts on blogs. If the internet is going to develop into a true and trusted source of information for health care consumers, it will only be by support of true experts and citations. I know you will dismiss this as me trying to discredit you. So be it!

Tubs- I appreciate your questions and believe you want to develop a dialogue of understanding so everyone can benefit. But, I am tired of being attacked for asking some questions.

GThompson,

You continue to expose your ignorance since you apparently think I work for a clinic.

From your first post, you've been defensive of a clinic you claim to no longer represent and condemned anyone that disagreed with your opinion. You've also proceeded to make misleading claims about the Coalition, to which I addressed respectfully.

It's sad really, because someone who's worked for a clinic could have constructively added their insight and expertise rather than try to condemn patients for recommending surgeons based on high standards.

You apparently have a lot of misplaced anger toward this community and it has become quite clear that you have no interest in adding anything constructive to this forum. Therefore, it is time for you to say goodbye.

Regards,

Bill

Thank god for this forum and others like it. It helped me:

1)learn the truth about HTs
2)find a TOP NOTCH surgeon
3)commune with others who knew exactly what I was going through

it also allows doctors, even non-coalition ones, to share their work, so you don't have to pay the site to have visibility here.
