and what, the bonus is so that you can post in ways that can't be hidden with the foe button?
be considerate, log in before bitching, so you can be ignored by those that don't want to hear the bitching.

Would you prefer they shut down the whole forum? If we become too much of a problem, that is what they will do.
There are a LOT of people, on both sides with some pretty bad posts lately. Not really a good side of the argument right now. Both sides would need to be banned to get rid of all the cussing and nasty posts.
If Enchanter is not a troll, he has managed to do what many trolls have tried to do. Personally, I think he is a troll. There are cycles. When his threads get quiet, he has yet another sleep study to do. And that starts off all the arguments again.
Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?

What's a "complint"? It sounds illegal.

I don't think this forum will change. It is unfortunate that it sinks many times to the 'lowest common denominator'.
Cardsfan- one needs to separate the wheat from the chaff here. I see so many posts that are insane I merely ignore them or go to another thread.
When this forum insanity rises to or 'drops' to inanity, I don't visit for a while.
This forum is not a place to 'make friends' or 'make enemies' because it does not resemble reality- it's the internet. So those of you who entertain the delusion that you make real friends (or enemies) here are only deluding themselves.
Learn what you can, give what you can, and limit your participation when able. There are numerous bullies on this forum which, unfortunately, contributes to a 'chilling effect' on making a contribution or expressing a view.
I feel sorry for the newbies who have to wade through all the cr*p to learn something here.
Whatever... goodbye!

I can't be bothered, but if I had the time or inclination, I'd go through your posts and count all the times you've said goodbye. Such a tease...

You may think that, but it's not true. The fact of the matter is that the lab deleted the test and that's why the healthcare placed the order on hold. They don't have the test. You cannot prove that I'm lying. I can prove that I am telling the truth via voice messages. But people choose to think that I'm just making shit up. You know that I'm not a troll.

https://www.cpap.com . Since finding this forum, I have ordered many of my cpap supplies from your business. But my orders will stop until you take action.
I understand you can not read every post on here. But I do expect you to notice when a member has been bullied for MONTHS. You have done nothing to prevent, or discourage the abuse of the forum rules.
If you allow your customers to be mistreated by other forum members, then you do not deserve my business.
It is time for the Forum Administrators to put an end to the bullying and get rid of the people who can not follow the rules of conduct.
Thank you.
Trolls have been banned in New Zealand. Reddit also banned hateful trolls. So Cardsfan, your voice can have an influence. Or shall I say people like you. One day that could be the case, all bullies will be punished and no trolls will be allowed. People like you can help make a difference. One day maybe trolling might be illegal everywhere.
Now people may tell you to stop complaining because you have no right to tell them what to do. But on the other hand, they also have no right to tell you that you can't complain either. So you have just as much right to petition against bullying. And in the end, you might actually win, and sooner or later all the bullies and trolls will lose and migrate. You do have a chance to beat them. I've seen websites get sued in front of my eye for bullying.

So whose sleep test results did you post? You claimed they were yours. You posted photos of them. They say ahi of 60.7. But that isn't good enough for the doctor to prescribe a cpap machine? You need another diagnostic test even though you have a printed copy of a diagnostic test? If it is yours, you have what you need.

They need the original diagnostic test that diagnoses me. That was titration and an inconclusive one.
