I challenge everyone to not respond to Kokako's new thread. If we keep this up, his posts will dominate our first page.
Anyone in agreement?????????
Better yet don't even read it...I don't...and you won't be tempted to respond.I'm in!Okay. I'm game! :) Sorry I kept it up! :(Great Roxy!! No problem.... I haven't responded.... never will!Me too I have never responsed..I am really new at this whole message board thing anyway....
I haven't read or responded to them in a long time, though I gotta admit they were very entertaining! Yup. Me too.I'm with you Roxy. Splendid idea!!Roxy,
Definitely the best way is to completely ignore the threads - they "get off" on the attn good or bad rec'd. Am surprised that so many fell into the trap of responding
Was happy to read that you are now settled down in your house at long last. It sounds a great place. Enjoy
I'm not so sure it was the "trap of responding" that I fell into.
I think it was the "trap of being bored out of my wits" that I held my nose and dove head first into. Haha
I apologize. It's way more fun to keep up on posts with the SANE (well, mostly) people in this forum. :)
I thought we could keep the old thread "It Actually Works" for people that want to take out their frustrations and argue with Kakoka (sp)instead of their spouse, friends and family !!!!! Or those that just like to be spectators to a sparring match. Now don't go there if you actually want to resolve a difference of opinion or you will just find it frustrating.
But if we let him have too many threads - he will take over the board
We all need to learn to read better. I had to re-read this ENTIRE thread over TWICE to get what you were saying. I was thinking "but...roxy STARTED this thread..I don't understand" You said don't reply to his NEW post. Aaarrrggggghhhh DUH! >.< I feel so dense.
Hahaha <3

Not even going to read that thread anymore. I think I responded because he was picking on people here that are super nice, intelligent, well spoken, and well informed and I don't like it when people treat my friends mean. I just need to be the bigger person and consider the source and not let it get to me. I'm in .... always have been!It's easy to get drawn in....and it's easy to end up responding after a while. At times I find it entertaining.....but never want things to go so far and up set so many people that the folks that make this place home want to leave due to the threads.
That's the only time they truely upset me. I've lost folks I honestly considered my friends due to crap like that and that's when I get upset.
Oh Roxy .... I am soooooooooooo in!!! I take the challenge!!
Ok... I will not reply to that thread anymore, and besides have not visited it in a couple of days, as I was starting to feel dumber, after reading his posts. I kinda felt like I was missing something or not understanding what the hell he was trying to say.
Let's put it this way... it went WAY over my head and fouled into left field everytime I would read one of his posts.
This guy started out a long time ago saying he had gout and that what he took cured it. We told him that RA is not the same thing as gout and while gout often may be controlled by diet, RA is not. Then his story changed to him having arthritis...which gout is a form of because the word arthritis pertains to the joints which are the only common thread between RA and gout. So when he says "arthritis" , technically that isnt a lie, but what is implied is RA but in actuality is gout....or who knows what.... Some people just take pleasure in pissing other people off. Like teenagers that TP houses, or spit off of balconies in the mall. This is just his way of getting a good laugh at our expense and anyone who allows it to cause stress is letting this person have power over their disease. We should be here for support, friendship, and to have fun.....it is important that we protect newbies from the trolls and scammers...but maybe it should be done in PMs instead of open forums where these trolls lurk, waiting for their name to be mentioned and the opportunity to start a new battle. Roxy.....I am in sister! I just want to learn, heal, and hopefully contribute support in this forum. Lightedhearted, intellectual and valid discussion is what I've seen here, for the most part, and that's why I joined in the first place. The rare pockets of contrary contributions need not diminish all the positives...so I guess the "skimming over" thing still comes in handy, LOL!
I'm a skimmer too. I don't always have time to read page after page of stuff so sometimes I'll just read the last few post and then back track if I'm interested. It's a common practice at these forums I think. Hope to see more of you here. I so agree....... But wasn't he such a good dog to kick? lol , Like Roxy said, it was better to kick his a..s instead of our loved ones....but like all good dogs it's time to kick him out..... KAT lol....Joonie; I wasn't sure if I was the dumb one or if he was; I rarely understood what he was saying. It's hard to tell if he's insulting you or agreeing with you. Obviously we know he doesn't agree with any of us on what we say....but at the same time often I got the feeling he MIGHT have been agreeing with part of my statement; but it's hard to clearly catch his meaning.
