I'll tell it to the cancer guy. And you next time you try to have me removed as admin of this forum because of the offense you took over your belief that I was trying to make you go to church. See what I mean? It happens to us all the time. People get offended for whatever reason and feel entitled to some form of retribution. And that's why we're hearing the cancer guy's story. Now look at you telling a lie that I tried to have you removed. Here is the link to the exchange from April if anyone wants to read it...which I am sure they do not...and no one other than me and admin would even know about because I never brought the subject up on a public board. You are not a very good sport. support.proboards.com/thread/667048/admin-leave-me?page=1&scrollTo=7273392 "I would think you'd prefer admins who represent Proboard in a positive manner." Even if you meant something else by that, the song remains the same. You wanted to talk about me, but now that we're talking about you, it's time for good sportsmanship? Why are you always so all over the map with everything? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if you thought I was trying to brainwash you back into Catholicism by simply saying hello. And so I ask yet again: So what?

Which does not say you should remove him from his position. So, just tell the truth next time and we will get along fine. Deal? As for sportsmanship, 85% of what I post is satire. Even if you meant something else by that, the song remains the same.Hello? Is this thing on?

You got offended and then went and told someone, and you'd have me believe you were just venting? You did just what the cancer guy did. The only difference is that the cancer guy didn't take offense where none was given. Not everything you don't understand is a lie, Paul. I believe you're smart enough to not let your arrogance dictate your actions.

I believe you're smart enough to not let your arrogance dictate your actions. I just said, and I quote myself, "being offended what we like to do best nowadays." Please notice there is a " we" in that sentence. What happened in April when I was smoking weed and has nothing to do with this conversation in September. It was private between me and proboards that was no one else's business until you made it public to get back at me. I posted the link to defend my honor. I had actually forgotten about it. And yet the song continues to remain the same. Just like the cancer guy, you victimized yourself and sought confirmation from others.

I worked with a guy who would get angry when anyone said, "I'm sorry for your loss", after the passing of his Dad. I thought it was pretty immature. Most people are just trying to do the right thing. Just trying to say the right thing. I don't think we get to tell people how to comfort, or grieve, or cope.

Today I will chant this mantra for Brother Admin, so he can cultivate compassion and attain enlightenment, love and peace. In retrospect, maybe I should have just ignored your PM. But since I didn't, have you any guesses why? I mean, there was nothing in it for me except a little frustration. Compassion, love, and peace has nothing to do with refusing to help some whiny bitch's online crusade against someone who prayed for his health.

Saying thank you and being on your way isn't even in the same ballpark as responding with hate and a bandwagon.

Then maybe he should complain more about that and less about those who pray for him. Having been through this experience myself, I now have more compassion for people who are fighting serious disease. They have a right to be pissed off. They have a right to ask for what they need and what they don't need, and people around them should respect their needs.
I was so fortunate to have a husband that was my fiercest advocate. When the oncologist didn't want to answer my questions, my husband would remind him of who was paying the bill, and said that I could ask as many questions as I needed to. When I was in the ER, potentially bleeding out, he stayed by me, perched like a hawk until I was stabilized. He never left me alone, EVER, in a hospital or doctor's office. He fended off well-intentioned chaplains who wanted to pray for me. We were both atheists. He slept at my side for the times I was hospitalized.
A nurse on the unit told me one night, when I was brooding and couldn't sleep, how lucky I was to have a husband like that; a high percentage of breast cancer patients are abandoned by their husbands. I smiled and told her I knew how lucky I was. I went back to see her, some years later; she was so happy that I had survived.
But when my husband was eventually diagnosed with a terminal disease, I did for him what he had done for me, as best I could. And he was bitchy, because I had had hope of remission and he didn't. I'd let him rant and rave, and then fixed something he could eat and hold down. I battled doctors that didn't understand his wishes about quality of life rather than quantity of life. And I stayed at his side for his final five days, fortunately in a coma. The staff kept him out of pain as much as they could.
People who are facing their mortality deserve support from the ones who truly care about them. I hope the person with cancer who was the topic of this thread is fortunate to have supportive advocates, as I did.

In fact, the cancer is completely irrelevant to him being a whiny bitch just because somebody said something he asked them not to say. And here you are, happy to be riding his bandwagon. The prayer guy is a dick for his blatant disrespect. The cancer guy is a whiny bitch for making such a big deal about it. As you keep pointing out, doesn't he have more important things to worry about?

Fear, and the reaction to it, just is what it is. Those of us who have been there, know. I've tried my best to get the concept across, but I don't see any point in discussing it further. You've made up your mind.

You've made up your mind. How well-received would I be if I joined a support group for those with fatal diseases to bitch about some guy who told me he prayed for my health? You don't think everyone would be asking themselves just what the hell I'm doing there? I don't think you really believe that a dying man has a right to be an ingrate simply because he's a dying man. My guess is that if this had been a get well card or flowers, you wouldn't be so quick to defend him from such a brutal assault.
