Can I not ask a question?

OK thanks.

Since your comment pretty much fits that criteria, your post was deleted.

Thanks again.

So you are using a second account to be anonymous? (You have to be registered as a member for awhile before you get a spam button)

Why not just be honest and post under your normal user name? Why stir up trouble? Bored this weekend?

Why does this board attract so many trolls?

Because we allow unregistered posting, we don't control abuses, we engage them, thereby giving them the voice they want, so many reasons so much time, we all have time to waste on them. Jim

Because we don't hit the spam button that much. It is hard to tell the sleep deprived from trolls since there is so much personality change and even brain damage involved. So we let them ramble on until it becomes more apparent.

Guest posts are allowed because there are a lot of seniors who have OSA who have very little clue how to use the internet.

This combination means we get lot of screwed up people who don't know where they are or what they are doing but are looking for help. But like any hurt animal they often bite the hand that helps them while at the same time demanding more, more, more!!!! Hopefully they don't have rabies.

The count may not be as high as it seems. There can be almost endless identities for one person with too much time on their hands and a chip on their shoulder. NOTE: This statement is in general and not necessarily directed to the OP.

It would appear that a lot of registered guests fit that bill too.

More than a few seem to scour the threads looking for something to criticize.

I'm sure in their minds, it then makes them feel relevant.

Briefly.

Most are unregistered "Guests"

Pot's of Gold are in short supply, I can't even find a box of Lucky Charms that's fresh! Jim

Sorry to hear that. Hope all is well (or at least better) now. Good to have you back.

Thank You Den. I had a large abscess at the top of my spinal cord that parallelized me from the waist down. Before surgery I couldn't move my toes or anything. After surgery the Doc came in the recovery room and said move your toes and by golly they moved. When it cultured out it was staff infection.Later I transfered to a certified spinal cord rehab hospital here in town where I had to learn to walk again. In 21 days I learned to slowly walk on a walker and all the other things in my lower part of my body started to return to normal. I named my walker tortoise cause we are very slow, transport chair for the long distance. Things are getting better everyday, I can tie my own shoes now. Sorry for rambling.

Wow, Squid. What an ordeal you've been through. I wish we had known (did we???) because we would have made a point of sending you cheery and encouraging messages.

I'm glad you are recovering. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Maddy it happened very quickly, Saturday was normal and Sunday Monday I went to get out of bed and collapsed on the floor. I tried to get up three times and collapsed each time and the my wife said "Richard keep your ass on the floor". Ambulance ride and then my journey began. At one point before they found it I was in horrible shape and my wife thought I was going to die, I told her later I wasn't ready to go. I'm sorry for hijacking this thread so I'll back out.
