My friends,

Have we all forgotten why we are here? I have set back and watched as the battle goes on. Does anyone remember that we are all quests here that must adhere to the rules and regulations? Does anyone remember that we are here to offer HELP and SUPPORT for EACH OTHER?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I see nothing wrong with what the moderators, both present and past, have done. This is a public site. Check out how many people look at each thread. Anyone can visit. That is why we have rules about language and graphic discriptions. That is why we also share our e-mail addresses, so we can discuss these very personal matters with each others. This is not a site for personal agenda's.

As a patient with Advanced Prostate Cancer (non-curable) ungoing chemotherapy, I find this battle very sad. I can find nothing good that will come out of it. It does not make us stronger, it only weakens the whole group. I see the same thing in life every day. Will we only choose to follow the rules we want too? Will we fight to see who is in charge? I don't have time for all this. But I guess my time, or lack there of, might just be more important than some.

Let's get back to our purpose and put all of this behind us. We all have more important battles to fight. We all need to feel the love and support that lives here. We all need each other.

Love and peace,

Walt

Thanks Walt, I agree with your view and that is the reason I started HW to help others find support.

Hi War-eagle,

I have watched the battle that you refer to for some time now, but did not voice my opinion because I couldn't find the right words to express my opinion. I'm glad you wrote the post because it represents exactly what I would have said had I been able to find the right words. Thanks for writing them for me.
All the best to you in your future.

Walt,
This battle has been painful for all in one way or another. As you do, I love Tony & Lee - they are our biggest supporters and caregivers here.
As the wife of a man with advanced pc I come here for support & to support others. In fact, we came here after surgery not sure what way to turn and feeling very alone.

I read many posts and even if I don't comment, I gain from others experiences. One thing I've learned is this: how kind and giving and strong we all can be for each other. That's what this site has been about and that happens to be exactly what is needed.

Thanks for speaking out,
Susan

Hi Walt,
I am so thankful to you. Not just for this support but for being my friend. These wondeful posts are very meaningful to me. I have been so involved in not worrying about what was being said about me, I forgot about the rest of you. I sincerely apologize to you and all in the forum. I will not partake in any more of this tragedy. It is just three weeks until we meet, a blessing from above, indeed. I can hardly wait. My offer to all from this moment forward is PEACE.

Peace to ALL ~ no exceptions.

War Eagle!

Tony
