I may end up in disfavor with a few on this one. Yes, I’m back.
Also to new joining members.
The Mods are very knowledgeable, well intended, have good computer
skills and are great composers. But… they should not be taken as the
last word on any topic. Their job is to keep the Forum on topic, free
of spam, free from those with ill intent and yes… pass on their valuable
knowledge. Again, not to be taken as the last word on any topic.
So many of the sub-forums have gone nearly dormant as compared to the
vibrancy they once had nearly daily a few years ago.
We have so many members who used to post who have now regulated
themselves to occasionally stopping by or have become just readers.
We all do not have the computer skills others do. I have lost much of
the skill I once had. I could fire off a reply in the “Reply” window of a
topic within seconds or less than a minute. Now… as this Thread I have to
put it on Word first, edit, try to keep a train of thought, move paragraphs
edit again and thank the heavens for spell correct for words I once had no
problem with.
Some members reply to Threads saying this is a Forum for those with
ALS and those dying of ALS and their care takers. No… not really.
It does have many sub-forums of other MNDs. PLS for example… we
have a Moderator who has PLS. And it has a sub-forum
called “Could this be ALS?” The most read of all other sub-forums.
Strangely, members who say they don’t bother with it seem to know
what’s been posted on it.
Ok, if a Mod or other high ranking notation member posts something
you question, disagree with or have had a different experience with do not
be cautious to post your thoughts, disagreement, different experience or opinion.
So what if someone doesn’t like it or rebukes what you posted.
If you are concerned of your reaction score or number of points you’re
posting/contributing for the wrong reason. Start a Thread of your favorite
peeve or tree that will get you many “likes”
Don’t worry about your composing skills, sentence structure, paragraphing
capping the beginning of a sentence or word. The first poster that says a
a word about your post I’ll be on them like a duck on a June Bug ( and old
Southern saying). If I don’t get booted off for this.
My only want…? see the Forum maybe get back some of the active
participation it had nearly daily just a year ago or so on the many other
sub-forums.. Maybe it’s past that now.
Or, now… “It Is What It Is”
