Derailment void / Off topic 2021 to present

Ahhh (DOH) lol, thank you :laughing:

Or asking to verify a day count.

Can you reinstate my post and remove my flag? I seriously have problems with brushing my teeth daily. It screws with my self-image. They are almost see through. So I was hoping to get motivation from this thread whilst at the same time motivating others. I have been nothing but respectful towards @ThePower . And when everyone was bashing him I spent over 30 minutes writing a well thought out and respectful message.
To be honest, this hurts. Because my issue isn’t alcohol it’s trolling? I get how it could seem that way especially with all the bashing he has been receiving. But still, this hurts.

It was off topic Jan. This thread is an alcohol challenge.

With all due respect Sas, but that’s a non sense remark.
This forum is about addictions and ways to deal with it, yet you remove Jan’s post simply because it’s misunderstood, to draw the ā€œit’s offtopicā€ card when you get asked to rectify it ?

I never told you I was glad you decided to come back to the forum did I?

This is ridiculous. I want to say that I’m at a loss for words, but I’m not. I want to scream and curse at you. Rant about how absurd it is that I get excluded for having a different addiction.
But I’m crying right now. Something I haven’t done in months. So clearly there is something else bothering me, probably stress from work. So you wouldn’t deserve my rage. But this hurts. A lot.

I got your back homie. I would go months without showering or basic hygiene. I’ll very open about that to let you know you aren’t alone. In the now deleted post he was absolutely disrespectful towards you.

Derek, you ASSUME that, you do NOT know someone’s intent. Frankly, this formenting of dissent and bad feelings toward another member because you believe they are insincere is very off putting. You say he is a troll, yet you troll him.

Let the person have their thread. Enough of this.

Jan, please see my PM I sent you before you posted this.

Maybe we could make a new more inclusive ā€œ100 day challengeā€ thread? Hygiene, exercise, clean time, whatever. I didn’t see all that was put up there but I’d be down to join a thread casting a wider net. Just brainstorming

This isn’t their thread. His comment though directed at Jan, was making fun of people who struggle to brush their teeth or tie their shoes. Not sure what other intent can be drawn from that. Especially looking over his body of work and previous joke about ā€œnerds in high schoolā€ I think it’s fairly clear what his intent was.

That’s a great idea Les, I would join it for my ED.

Let’s take a break for awhile.

Then open up a dedicated subforum, just like has been done for the ā€œlook at these absolutely relevant to sobriety kitten picsā€ topics.

Yes, beware of having people publicly questioning your decisions…

Yes, it is. Are you really not getting the point that this topic is not about Iran ?

I’m done with all the bullshit and hypocritical decision making by the mod team Siand.
If you want me to shut up, then remove my account or block me. For I will nót remain silent just because you mods make wrong decisions in topics like this.

As addressed in Robin’s announcement about politics, just for fun topics about cute kittens are not really analogous to huge geopolitical and social struggles.

If you want space to discuss these things, your options are

  1. Do it in a private message here
  2. Do it somewhere else
  3. Set up your own forum
  4. Engage constructively with the moderation team as set out in the rules and guidelines

We all sign up to the guidelines to participate here. If you choose not to abide by them, that is your choice. But don’t put it on me or the other mods.

That’s all I have to say on the matter.
