How did you get to my facebook account? I am not mad. Did you already knew my real name or was it because it was linked to babble? Was it because I used the same mail account? There is nothing on Facebook to hide for me but what an invasion of privacy and abuse of trust. I guess if I want to try and ask people about meds on this site I will change my mail address. Well let me not pretend to be blindsided or surprised.
Well now that I have been involved I am starting to understand more and more how I cannot just ignore the as****** (not you) here and try to use the site for my own needs.
People have been talking about "Bob" in a negative way for a long time. I really believed that this site was developed for research, which could be very informative and helpful to the population it was serving. Two birds with one stone. Maybe it did start that way maybe not. I see nothing intentionally altruistic at this point.
People who stroke their egos by abusing, manipulating, using, getting over on... vulnerable populations I akin to kicking a dog because one can and feeling all powerful by doing it especially when the dog "trusts" and "depends" on you and keeps coming back for more.One would have to conclude that those people have serious issues!!!
Like public intoxication one is perfectly acceptable in this society while the other is not. Okay I am exaggerating.
It is all so very very sad. So much mistreatment of people with mental health problems. I guess I have seen more than I want to remember. I have seen suicide attempts as a direct result of "administrators" taking punitive measures, all to stroke their own egos. These are things not easily forgotten. I have spent a lot of time and effort doing advocacy work after seeing and experiencing these types of things, and gotten to know a lot of other people trying almost desperately to advocate for others more vulnerable than themselves. There will always be people in society seeking out positions of authority (power) they need to feel better than and in control of others. Kicking a dog just does not do it for them. (I am not advocating kicking dogs. I would kill anyone who kicked my dogs!!) There will always be people like this in society. It has been that way all throughout history.
I went in "FAQ" and said I did not want to be on twitter or Facebeek. The only reason I was even on Facebook was because my Yoga teacher asked her students to be for her to contact us that way. I have used it a few times with my relatives this year but I really do not know much about it or how to make use of it.I know nothing at all about Twitter.
Just Let me know how you saw my name on Facbeek. I think I am beginning to understand what a big deal this is. Why would anyone administrating to this site do something like this? It is so obviously in their own interest. Forget about trust.
Manipulatin calculating....not really about helping anyone but "himself". Yea I read "Bob's)very manipulative reasoning, stroking the questioner before even his feable attempt at "answering". It is not the first time I have seen someone makng decitions seem democratic by manipulating those around "him" or making things appear not as they are but as someone whould wnat them to be. Seeming so does not make it so. The veil is thin but maybe it always was, I just never took the time or interest to know.
I've been having a difficult time physically and been in and out of the hospital lately so please forgive my ranting once again. I hope you don't feel like I abused you. It is the last thing I would want to do or even appear to do. You seem like a nice person. I have not always agreed with you in the past but that does not make either of us "better" or a more valuable person. You are a person of great value. I see how you try and do your part helping others all the time.
Take care of yourself and thanks so very much for telling me of this Facebook thing. You are the second person to warn me of things on this site.
