why not just do what i do....

when i see a thread started by someone i don't care for, i just ignore it. don't reply to their posts, and hopefully they will go away

Well Guits, I hope you haven't already TTFN'd and that you are reading these responses.
Take the break that you think you need.
And if you don't come back, we'll come find you !

And we're counting on the inevitable and undeniable success of your treatments.

Take it easy and get yourself well!

I've backed off from many music and photography forums I used to participate in, as well as social media sites for the very same reason.
They are all filling up with obnoxious idiots and squeezing out the real valued people that used to participate.

I have a solution, although I suspect many would probably not like it.
And that is the the few pro photography forums I still use requalrely are all paid access.
If you are obnoxious and manage to get yourself kicked, it is very difficult to get back in as you need to provide a credit card and proof of who you are to get an ID activated.

Derek, this forum is a little bit better with you here, and will be a little bit less without you here.

Seems this other fellow is a teenager. Adults shouldn't expect teenagers, or pre teens, to respond like adults, because they aren't. If you have kids you'll know what I mean, even with the best kids in the world sometimes black seems to be white and up seems to be down and nothing will change that.

Best of luck, and spring is just around the corner.

Derek, if you feel a break is needed then that's your call. But all the posts that have already arrived on this thread should show you that you are definitely in the majority, and the tiresome nuisance posters in the small minority. Let's not give up the territory to them, or not for long at any rate. Soon as things are going better for you, please return. You know you'll be welcomed back.

Apart from anything else, you've had more than one thread recently talking about your forthcoming Remicade treatment and many of us are mighty interested to find out how that goes for you. As you know, you're not the only user of this Forum with these issues, so your experience will be of material benefit to others. Soon as you've got some news, please come by and share it.

Till then, I, and by the sounds of it all of us, wish you the very best.

Fly safely - C
