    For some reason I feel like I remember that episode with MrDave, or at least one like it.

     

    The one I recall was very frustrating because I could tell what MrDave was saying to do, and I found it helpful and enlightening and valuable, if it had been my mod I would have been very happy to have the advice, but I recall the advice was not taken in the spirit it was offered, and the uploader got very threatened and insulted and angry over it. I'm not sure I'm recalling the same situation because I do not have authority to impose posting restrictions. (Although I do have authority to recommend them and those recommendations are taken very seriously.)

     

    I mention it because it's a scenario I've seen many times, even recently. In the recent situation the uploader asked my opinion, I just mentioned how helpful I thought the advice might be, and that the uploader had the right to take the advice or decline it graciously. In that situation the uploader decided to take the advice which made the mod (and the uploader) a brighter star, in my opinion.

     

     

     

    It's best to simply ignore the trolls. What's polite about detracting from the mod by making the conversation all about the troll, rather than all about the mod?

     

    Never troll a troll, even politely, lest you yourself become one.

    Stem cell therapy

    in Debates

    I have not weighed in on the debate but I will now.

     

    I am the fourth of seven children. My brother, the third, was born with cerebral palsy, quaintly referred to as "brain damage" at the time. He died at age 15 when I was 13. He was never able to walk, talk, or feed himself. He was trapped in a body that would not work. But he had the most beautiful and gentle dark brown eyes. When I was a baby he was two and because of his condition we were "babies together" my mom had an amazing picture of us cuddling together. I loved him so much, and I have many very painful memories over what became of him and of my family because of how difficult the situation was for my parents, a hardworking farm couple. My father became convinced it was a source of shame and retribution. By the time I was 4 my brother was placed in a home where we had to travel to see him. Whenever I saw him after that I could see him, "see" me, he knew me, there was an intelligent person in there, neglected and written off by the medical limitations of the time. He died just over a year after my mother. This is a very deep, enduring, painful wound for me.

     

    My personal feeling is this, if I could have tried stem cell therapy to give my brother even a small chance at a better life that he deserved, I would have. I would have done anything.

    Camon - Reinstated with 2 Strikes

     

    One strike for uploading copyrighted content.

    One strike for creating a new account to circumvent the ban.

     

     

    I find it plausible that you did not know the content was copyrighted, and you have not created any new accounts since we've been in communication regarding your ban. Thus I'm giving you a second chance. Don't make me regret it.
