I'm tired of all the rest of our posts being pushed down, I'm tired of his tone, and I'm tired of his demanding that we help him.
I'm sorry, I'm just having a hard time myself and I'm just venting...

I hear you! I haven't answered any of the his posts but it is such shame that he is not using these boards the way they were meant to be. There are such loving caring people here that have definatley put up with him longer than I would. It has actually kept me out of the diet board.

I think we must all let Heather know how we feel. She told me in an email that she wants to know if he gets out of hand. Maybe if we all email her she will email him something. He has just posted about 10 or more posts in the last 5 minutes. It's ridiculous. It's the same question over and over. The basics of the diet. How many times do we have to say, NO DAIRY ALLOWED!!!
Okay, I'm off to email Heather now!

Yes, I agree. I answered one of his posts nicely and his respone to me wasn't very nice so I just stopped answering his posts all together! Frankly, I'm getting tired of his complaining about his VANITY issue of bloating! Get over it! We should all be so lucky!

SO AM I!!
I get so mad when I read his posts, every question he has asked I KNOW I have answered at least once. I have answered the desert thing, I have answered the dairy thing, the soy thing... I am starting to think he doesn't even bother to read some of the responses, or has a memory like a sieve!
I think it is totally ridiculous, he needs to buy the book and try to figure some stuff out.
Every time I read his posts, I want to yell at him.. but I already said I wouldn't post to him anymore.
Someone should suggest that he go back, find all the posts he's made, print out all the responses and then READ THEM. He'll find pretty much all his answers right there.
Okay, I am grumpy because I am suffering lately but I still think it has gotten out of hand.
Cheers,
--Steph

And I'm sorry if my replies to his questions added to the problem or anyone's frustration/discomfort.

Same for me - I answered a few of his posts recently - tyring to give him a second chance. Obviously he hasn't learned - so forget him! He needs to buy the book and READ ABOUT THE DIET. I'm finished answering him.

Volatile is BANNED!!!!
I just got this email from Heather!
HI Beth - I banned him and deleted his threads. Thanks for letting me know about it. The others who emailed you did not email me, which would have been more helpful. I'm only on the boards for a bit each day, so the best way to handle problems is to make sure I know about them. Thank you for doing that!
Do you guys believe this fantastic news!
Heather Rocks!!!

It's ok, M!M!... We're all just trying to help each other, and the frustration is really just taking over his posts. I remember what it was like for me when I was just so frustrated and alone and miserable, I didn't care who knew I was unhappy or who I offended. I wish there'd been this site then, but I can't say how obnoxious I'd have come off to all you awesome people, when all I really wanted then was an end to the pain.
You're all too good for the Internet!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't tell you all how glad I am that you're on my side through this!!!!!

If you go to the Home link (first option on the list to your left), click on that. Go all the way to the bottom of the page and click on option "contact us". This brings you to another page. In the middle of the page, there is a highlighted option that says "email us at..." . Just click on that and it opens up an email format right on your screen with the address already typed in. I am going to email her again to thank her for banning Volatile!
If you ever have complaints or problems, she wants to know. Ain't she great!

I was about to post something, I didn't realize he was banned and I just responded to one of his posts on the diet board and had to "hold my tongue" so to speak to keep from yelling at him! I'm surprised it kept up for as long as it did!!! Anyway, sorry I responded, I will not respond in the future.

This IS a great place for info and support! If I had this back in the day, when I was first diagnosed, I'd be THRILLED and maybe less of a crybaby-punk about it. I was pretty miserable too. The good thing about all of Volatile's posts is that I realized how far I've come and how well I did in figuring out how to help myself.

Maybe I should post something on the Eating board to let others know.

Ditto, girlfriend. LOL "crybaby-punk!!!!" Oh, I so resembled that remark!!!!!! Isn't it so weird when you see yourself in someone else's posts?
Man, all of this trial and error with my diet early on was so painful, I just wish I had someone to point me in the right direction! But in the end I'm glad I went through it in the start so now I don't have to repeat those horrid mistakes I made with my diet in the early years. So glad I'm not 15 again for that and many other reasons!! LOL!!

...sad, but true. Anyway, if bloating had been my worst IBS symptom I would have never got diagnosed as it didn't bother me that much!

Funny, I always thought V was a girl. And a young immature girl overly concerned with her appearance at that.

No, it was a guy. A 21-year-old college boy, at that. And very, very concerned with his appearance.
I feel sort of bad that I didn't email Heather about it sooner, but I'm glad the problem was taken care of!

Don't worry. I e-mailed her a few times about it. It's the diet board that I'm a moderator for - don't worry - I'm doing my job!
