In light of Pats decision to ban NG2GB I feel posters should boycott for 2 weeks. Likely I will be considered a "poison" for my creation of this thread so if this happens look for me on other sites. Love ya all like brothers. Bill I feel for ya my friend. I know you are doing all you can and are a good guy. Pat-You need to respect the help that your members provide to this community. I appreciate what you have done and do for all of us bald men/woman, but believe that you need to be gratious for what we also do. If you choose to also ban me, keep in mind you will likely piss off other members, Bspot, Janna, and Dr. Ron Shapiro. I am sure that he would love to see me follow thru with posts of my results. I chose to post this thread in hopes that others will follow and see if it does have an effect on the hits to this site. Possibly then you will truly understand what exactly the value of the membership is worth to you. "I certainly hope that he follows through with his promise. In my opinion, this community does not need ignorant and illiterate fools like him - yet they show up and post" P.S.--Unkind shot at Jupiter.

The 2 million hits/yr. just dropped to 1.

Very likely something can be done to help you out, but unfortunately it will cost you more money. I had a procedure done 22 years ago and just had work done to hide it. There is hope.

I agree with NW4 but finding the right balance is key. By edging up the hairline just a cm can save 1200 grafts in some cases and this allows the person to get an ideal hairline that frames the face and some added density.

I agree with Bill that I really don't think that you have had a lot of shockloss although it could be the lighting/different hair lengths. I personally think that your mind starts playing some major BS with you at that stage. Is is possible that you hung onto some grafts for a long time and then they finally left? Either way, you'll be dynamite shortly. Keep us posted.

Pat, Although I have already added my 2 cents to this thread, I really hope that you will read the responses and change your mind. To suspend an individual because you had a spat via PM's is not necessarily the right thing to do in my mind. His opinion of only recommending 2 physicians is harmless. How can a person in good faith recommend some of the docs that never post any of their work on this forum? He is not an individual with an agenda to disrupt the natural flow of this forum. You have kicked off others since I have been a member and I certainly can understand why you did. In this particular case it is somewhat bewildering. He has made the effort to spend countless hours on this forum contributing to your business by posting. Likely he has helped send potential patients to the particular physicians that he did endorse(I am sure they are not happy to see their #1 salesperson fired) It is the members that make up this community. We are all going to have our own style and positions but nonetheless it is what makes this a very unique and interesting forum. There is no harm in reevaluating things and allowing him to continue posting. If you don't, he likely is to fall into despair with a life filled with strippers, alcohol and other forms of debotchery. Give the little bald bozo another chance.

Bushy, Wow...Lawyers. It was in a PM.

Oops I thought I was just thinking that. Ofcourse I am kidding. How do you not like the guy? I certainly did question some off his posts but who didn't? He might not of added tonnes of insight to the forum but he was certainly willing to help others and always provide a much needed laugh. I personally only believe that people should be removed from this site for continuous bullshit that pollutes the forum and not for a couple of statements of opinion.

NG2GB is a prick. He called me a bald Bozo once. His ass should be kicked off of here.

Good to see you around Hairbank! Great question by the way. Thana--did you use a case of nanogen? I have experimented with toppik but never really knew when to stop dumping it on my head. I could understand being in a club or somewhere dark but I would be worried about bright lights as Hairbank pointed out. My buds if they suspected anything would be giving it the flammable test for sure.

Dr. Epstein, Thanks for taking the time for such a well thought out and heart felt response. It is very evident of your passion for what you do. Personally I have always respected your work and sorry that you had to experience this. Forums such as these can at times get a little out of control unfortunately. Hopefully this will quell any further innapropriate comments.

Itsaboutime, I personally like Rahal. He essentially is Armani without all the bullshit. If you are in Toronto, Ottawa is what-3or4 hours away. Very short distance. The price is much cheaper and he is an exceptional guy. Yes this site is going to be biased towards Rahal, but I truly believe that my opinion is not swayed by anything. I love Armanis work and believe he is likely the most talented HT physician on the planet but there is a lot of bad press and I think that he earned most of it. Fue is not proven yet for sessions of that size. If you are in a hurry to have work done I really think that the smart choice is Rahal.

Balody, I know what you are saying, but sometimes you have to just accept and move forward. It does not affect you as you have had a great experience. If people started to slag Dr. Shapiro because of work years ago it might piss me off, but ultimately it doesn't affect me as I have good results and seen many others. If you really really really want, I could do some research for you and provide the proof to justify my choice of words, but I prefer not to.

Balody, I really don't want to go down that road. It is no secret that their past is tarnished. I don't want to put words in someone elses mouth but I believe that Bill, Pat, Bspot, NoBuzz, and Jotronic will all agree with that statement. Let's focus on the now. They are performing much better work. You have had a great experience and look much improved. The more work like yours and others posting and possibly soon the whole arguement will be a thing of the past.

I know that it would be a huge financial outlay. Possibly there would be a consideration if you were to buy 1-2 and slowly add more over time? I don't think that in good faith we can state that because it is a poorer nation that it doesn't have to live up to the recommended standards, but nothing states that every cutter has to have one. The larger grafts could be prepared with the loop and the finer ones done with the microscope. Just a thought.
