Stand by for the Front Page thread at diabetes.co.uk to be locked.
If getting threads locked ever becomes an Olympic sport they will have to issue a platinum medal for Sid, gold just won't do the man justice. Bonkers by name and Bonkers by nature, he has turned stupidity into an art form. As a comedian he is in a class of his own. I will miss him when he's gone.

Why dont the admin just edit the troublesome posts or give certain members time-out instead of locking the threads? That would stop certain repeat offenders using thread locking as a weapon to stop effective debate.
ReplyDeleteHi Claire thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteStand by for the 'Jopar nails DCUK post'

ReplyDeleteA recent study of 0% of the UK population revealed no incidence of diabetes or obesity, leaving the authors to conclude that being non existent is a safe way to avoid becoming diabetic.
Wherever your loyalty lies you have to admit that xyzzy often becomes like a dog with a bone and loses the plot.
ReplyDeletexyzzy is rock solid as far as I am concerned. He states diabetics should eat to their meters. He works tirelessly to help fellow diabetics.
ReplyDeleteHe is hugely patient in dealing with the high med, high carb, junk eating carboholics. What more could you ask for ?

Far from losing the plot xyzzy has played a big part in showing up the hypocrisy of the anti's.

ReplyDeleteYes this could work, I always feel just as good debate gets under way it is stifled by threadlocking, editing etc. Individuals should try to remain polite and to the point in discussion, easier for some than others it would appear.
It's debate, exchange of ideas that enable us to learn and progress we shouldn't lose sight of this.

Once more you can say what you like about Sid. He does bring a breath of fresh air to the forum depending on which way the wind is blowing of course but it does or can make for a more interesting read. Certainly gets peoples backs up, or noses put out of joint. Sorry but I quite like the difference of views and where it can lead to thread locking, deletion etc permitting.
ReplyDeleteIt's not going so well for xyzzy on the Front Page thread. Nobhead seems to have had the last word. Does xyzzy really know a Hospital within the NHS that recommends LC for diabetics?
ReplyDeleteHow are all the sock puppets from here going to help the campaign without revealing their identities?

I don’t know any hospitals that recommend a lowcarb diet. That is precisely why the NHS statistics for diabetics getting to a safe HbA1c are absolutely horrendous, and why the death rate and grim complications are rising. 92% of type one’s have a dangerous HbA1c, 72% for type two’s. The NHS should hang it’s head in shame. Same grim numbers next year no doubt.
ReplyDeleteResults for England. The National Diabetes Audit 2010-2011
Percentage of registered Type 1patients in England
HbA1c >= 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) = 92.6%
HbA1c > 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) = 71.3%
HbA1c > 10.0% (86 mmol/mol) = 18.1%
Percentage of registered Type 2 patients in England
HbA1c >= 6.5% (48 mmol/mol = 72.5%
HbA1c > 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) = 32.6%
HbA1c >10.0% (86 mmol/mol) = 6.8%
These results are very similar to those obtained in previous audit over the past 5 -6 years.

You really don't get it do you Graham. If a campaign goes public you will not be able to use a forum name but will need your real name. No more anonymity.
ReplyDeleteLooks like xyzzy has been told to put up or shut up anyway.
Also why criticise others for staying anonymous when you post under false names !
ReplyDeleteThat’s a bit rich coming from someone who is too spineless to post here under an anonymous forum name. I always post under my own name, with the exception of DCUK. Even someone as thick as you must realise why I post under a different name there.
ReplyDeleteDiabetes should not be all doom and gloom, we have to have some fun, and winding up the high med Carboholics is so enjoyable. Tell me what are you ? A Carboholic, a dietition or a drug rep.

Wow ed that is quite a statement and a double standard ! What is wrong with the people who run that forum for allowing you to corrupt it!
ReplyDeleteWell, who is to say that Eddie may not be an ordinary member. The web works in mysterious ways.......
ReplyDelete"Wow ed that is quite a statement and a double standard ! What is wrong with the people who run that forum for allowing you to corrupt it!"
ReplyDeleteDon't you realise there are trolls on both sides of the fence? There's a few antis that are not adverse to a bit of trolling.
Hey, Tony agree with your sentiment but NOT the language.
ReplyDeleteWe do need people like Eddie and his team to highlight the very poor NHS and DUK diet advice and recommendations etc for diabetics.
Tony made up Montana - I do hope you are not a mod ed shameful

ReplyDeleteThey allow WhitbyJet still up to her old tricks playing the pm game.
Goodness what a lot of comments, it does make quite a read of all sorts of views and ideas.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure what you meant when you mentioned "WhitbyJet still up to her old tricks playing the pm game." so like many others do I went over to see what you meant.
I have to question why is a pm needed for a Christmas Cake recipe. Surely she could put the recipe on the open forum for all to see. I think it's less than 190 days to go to Christmas and things like this will be of use to so many.
I for one use this blog to catch up on recipe ideas, your mini roasts for example and cauliflower cheese taste very good.

"I have to question why is a pm needed for a Christmas Cake recipe. Surely she could put the recipe on the open forum for all to see. I think it's less than 190 days to go to Christmas and things like this will be of use to so many."
ReplyDeleteHello Grace, as you see I have copied some of your words, hope you don't mind. I too was puzzled as to why this recipe could not be put on the open forum. I see that WhityJet and her mother have had problems with some copyright or other. Call me cynical but why didn't she make this known before starting to talk about this recipe. I have teenage children and one of the first things they learn before going on to computers, chat rooms, forums etc. is be careful and think, if something doesn't look quite right it probably isn't quite right. WhitbyJet and others may well be an innocent here but she does seem to like getting people to pm her. I question why does she want this, to me it seems unusual.
As my children quote to me " mum never divulge any personal details no matter how innocent it seems and don't be lured into conversations over the world wide web with people you don't know." Am I being a bit too cautious, better to be safe than sorry springs to mind.
From Sue a concerned type two
diabetic.
PS I also agree with Grace your cauliflower cheese recipe does taste very good.
Copyright laws do exist and that is why DCUK mention this in forum rules. I often see a recipe there that has been on TV or similar. People don't realise that it is serious and can cost you if you get found out.
ReplyDeleteIf the recipe is online a short description and a link to the website would not be a problem.
ReplyDeleteAs for copyright laws I doubt there has been many prosecutions of people copying recipes on to forums or blogs.
