I hope everyone has a wonderful life and can help anyone that
comes here for help. For more than 10, maybe 15 years I have
offered help to those that need it and I am still friends thru
email with some. But this is freaking ridiculous. For the same
amount of time I've asked Evel-yn and occasionally Judy to
please stop baiting the trolls, they usually finally agree to
stop taunting(and there fore ensuring long lasting battles).
But the definition of crazy by doing something the same way
over and over while expecting different results keeps popping
into my head. Especially this time where the person being
bullied has issues that anyone with an ounce of compassion can
see. Since the compassion is gone so am I.

Dumbass-REALLY how old are you?

See ya

M,

I believe that you hammered down the issue pretty well. I too had
noticed Evelyn's lack of restraint in replying to EJ. At times it
seems almost like she is trying to antagonize a person who maybe
unbalanced, Evelyn I hope you used different tactics while you were
caring for your Mother in law than what you have shown here. In
looking over a few of your many post here I was reminded of a little
girl that I went to third grade with, sure hope she changed.
When Dad was well he had a saying that went something like " Only a
fool would argue with an idiot" or Only an idiot would argue with a
fool. sometimes it's hard for me to tell them apart. M. sorry if you
decide to leave this group you bring your own spice to the stew, It's
best to skip over or ignore the post/authors that annoy you but in any
case don't let it get under your skin.
Best Wishes All

This makes me really sad as Mare has wonderful lists of coping mechanisms,
things to do and how to help LO with dementia. This is a real loss to the
group.

Evelyn and Queenie - may I suggest that you two are having a somewhat
overblown reaction to EJ, possibly because of your own experiences dealing
with the delusional. It may be evoking some very deep pain and emotional
fatigue with each of you. But just like you couldn't reason with your own
LO, you can't reason with EJ because that function in her brain is
inoperative.

I know you are both compassionate people but that she is really getting
under your skin. Block her from her newsfeed and let Alan deal with her for
a while. Or no one. It's OK. Given we don't have many visitors lately, her
rants aren't particularly hurting anyone. While its sad we haven't had
someone come for help in a couple of months, that also means her theories
aren't preventing anyone from getting appropriate treatment. Let her spit in
the wind with her rants.

It occurs to me that visitors to this site looking for Alzheimer's
information may conclude that it is really only a place for personal insults
and diatribes and then keep looking.

For those of you who can think, it takes a bunch of dirtbags to control
your thoughts, or called propaganda. The blowout ocurred when I
mentioned that all foundations should be investigated. Millions donated
to them but never find a cure or deliver much of anything, just talk..
Since some here are fighting like cats and dogs to keep you from
learning the truth, are they on the payroll???????? Looks suspicious
doesn't it?

It is hard for me to tell for sure, so please give me an honest answer.
Is this a place for people with dimentia, or is it for their care
givers?

For the most part, caregivers have come here for support in how to
best help, get diagnosed, care for, and work out the various problems
associated with a loved one who has the illness or other related
dementias.

On rare occasions we have also had people here who have been diagnosed
with it.

So for the most part this is a group associated with caregivers, but
that is not anything written in stone. Unfortunately the fact that
it is an unmoderated group has also nearly caused its demise, since we
get the usual odd troll or three with wacky ideas.

Hello Mrs. E.
The title of this newsgroup reads: Alt. Support. Alzheimers ---
Alzheimers and Related Dementing Disorders. It says nothing about this
newsgroup designated solely to caregivers. In fact, it doesn't even
mention the word "caregivers". I've never objected to anyone offering
advice to caregivers and don't know of anyone else who has either.
