I have no problem with things Dan said - he didn't personally upset me but I can see how his sometimes expressed forthright opinions may upset some others. Everyone's different, and everyone deals with difficult situations in their own way. I'm disappointed he's gone (I didn't even read whatever the latest upset was about!!!) but everyone's entitled to do what they want. The thing I worry about more is that if IHD was something that Dan valued as a place he could come and contribute to or find some solice in a group of (mostly) like minded people(or at least people who share the unfortunate experience of Kidney Failure) then if he's decided it's better off for us if he isn't around then it's perhaps NOT better off for him... and that's no good. He mentioned some times having trouble with depression and coping with dialysis and all that stuff. I'd like to think that coming here helped him at least a little bit.. and I'm disappointed that he is cutting himself off from something that could potentially help him.

However that is his decision, just like Lucinda's, and anyone else.

I like that quote.  We can just agree to disagree and still get along!!  hanify, I get what you are saying. Trouble with saying things on here is that you don't get the body language or expression. What is said usually can be interpreted any number of ways without that!!!

What?
Are some us regressing back to acting like 3 year olds?
Jokes aside, in those rare occasions in life when ALL of us regress to our 3 year old behavior, it usually indicates VERY difficult times for these people which is probably an indicator of when they need us most. We've all been there. Some of us have whipping boards at home who take the brunt of our frustrations, but those of us who don't come here to let out frustrations. I'm not saying it's fair, I'm just saying sometimes it happens. (You should be thanking my husband! He takes it when I dish it out and then I don't have to do it here).

You also have to remember that people handle different emotions differently.  They may try and joke at painful topics.  They are not trying to be rude or make light of the situation it is just how they may deal with that particular issue at that particular time.

Since I'm new here and haven't been on line for a few weeks (went to Cedars-Siani for a transplant evaluation which will be another post) I don't really "know" Dan that well.  What I saw, I thought he was very funny but I guess there must be a lot of history that I'm not aware of.

As others have said, sometimes things are often misunderstood with you can't see body language or its just written not clearly.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to the point of telling other people they are wrong or stupid. 

The day he stated he was through with IHD (although I didn't see a posting from him specifically) may have just been a really bad, depressing day.  Maybe he will think it over and come back.

Remember Okarol our administrator has explained that Dan was only warned, not banned. If Dan feels he does not want to participate on the boards here it is his decision.

Aww. I missed the chat. Did I miss Dan? After all this thread is: I miss Dan.

We had a great evening with one of our "denied" donors here for dinner and all the way through dialysis with us.
