Dr. Sifers and BPD

Dr. Sifers was an unethical surgeon who promised people the DS and gave them some crappy version of the BPD instead.  When he died, he had NUMEROUS lawsuits pending against him for doing this. There were several news stories about this.  People DIED.

If you have a Sifers BPD, I would strongly urge you to seek medical care with a competent DS or ERNY surgeon who can counsel you on your diet and supplement needs, as well as to see if you can be revised to something that is more compatible with living a longer life, including keeping your bones.  Because the BPD involved REMOVING your distal stomach, pyloric valve and proximal duodenum, a proper DS is not possible.  Perhaps something like a hybrid RNY-ish construction could be done, along with reducing the size of your pouch and lengthening your common channel to allow sufficient absorption to maintain health.

Ignore this message, I am just screwing with the mods.

By their own butt-hurt personal feelings standards, from what I can see.

I posted to Sarah recently - AS A PERSON, NOT AS A MOD - in which I disagreed with her about something she said that was snarky to DSers, in a way that did NOT violate TOS - which she did NOT bother to respond to directly, although she made excuses for her attitude in a response to someone else.  http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/DS/4467729/Stages-of-WLS/  I wonder if she got butt-hurt by what I said, and that may be coloring the heavy-handed moderation I am receiving now.  Frankly, although she has portrayed herself as someone who deserves special treatment because of her medical issues, I have long since tired of her thinking it gives her dispensation for some of the crap she posts - but you'd think I tipped over a cripple's wheelchair by not giving her a pass or by disagreeing with her. 

I sense a growing Amy-vibe from her.  Including the aspect that seems to reflect DS-envy - the DS would clearly have been better for both of them, statistically, and both of them seem to take pro-DS/anti-RNY stuff personally.  Which is fine with me - I don't give a rat's patoot what she thinks of me personally - but I think it is affecting her "professional" judgment in her role as a moderator.

I have also disagreed with Kathy S personally, though I don't recall if there has been a recent incident.

Barbara C is beyond annoying with her cross-posting every little thing that she thinks gives her a reason to put her face and "title" on every page on OH.  Most of the time when she posts that drivel on the DS forum, it is UTTERLY irrelevant to any of us - and I often say so.

I have also told Eric Klein - when he took a brief spin at posting publicly and ostensibly as a MEMBER - that I would NOT help him when he "invited" me to - for free - write an article for his OH rag that he didn't have time to write.  And I criticized his incomprehensible and factually inane postings here: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/4431266/Lap-Banders-W rite-a-Letter-to-Washington/#36630036  I wonder if he is butt-hurt about that?  I kinda doubt it - I don't get the sense that he has feelings that can get hurt, other than being frustrated that his attempt to interact with me didn't go his way - and OH is just his cash cow.

So, overall, it appears to me that the mods can't separate their feelings about my criticizing them as MEMBERS with their roles as moderators, and are using that as an excuse to apply different standards to my posts, and moderating them - or putting ME on moderation.  That's how it appears to me.  In my opinion, if they can't maintain professional impartiality as moderators, they should resign.  Am I allowed to have an opinion about this?
