DCUK Quote of the day !

"It was a link to a forum containing threads that berate and belittle members from this forum, as well as encouraging the belief that this forum is corrupt for whatever reason. I don't consider that helpful or constructive and don't wish for that kind of nonsense to be spread here." Giverny Admin on the Are private conversations moderated thread.

This is was what I said.

Apologies to anyone who was offended or annoyed by this thread I started. Although I wrote in a somewhat jocular fashion, there was a serious point to my post. I find it very difficult to ignore, 'reading the largest diabetes forum in Europe' that my fellow low carbers are either liars or posting low carb propaganda rubbish on a regular basis. 

I believe there are commercial reasons for why 'the largest diabetes forum in Europe' has allowed the aforementioned type of posts to continue for years. That being said, I will endeavour to find a more attractive method of stating my case on this forum another time. I will say this at this stage, if this forum becomes a place of censorship, or certain important issues become no go areas, it will not be doing anyone any favours. 

Now why would I think the DCUK forum had commercial reasons for allowing low carbers to be called liars and spreaders of rubbish ? Could it be they have used the members list as a sales mailshot list for years. Could it be because they looking to tie in with, or off load the forum to big pharma as stated by the Sales Director Barry Summers. BTW Barry done a Nobblyhead and deleted all the below after I posted the full sales pitch and link on this thread here. Now, was that a coincidence or what ? My red text then and now.

A week ago

"We are interested to hear from investors, M&A groups, strategic partners, health insurance or pharmaceutical companies who have an interest in improving outcomes in the management and control of diabetes throughout the world. An ideal turn key beyond the pill distribution channel"

Now

"Interested to hear from organisations who have an interest in improving diabetes health outcomes.

Diabetes.co.uk engages beyond the pill and our results stand at the forefront of the digital health landscape"

So there you have it, a massive coincidence or are DCUK wanting to hide their true intentions ? one thing can never be denied, nothing is ever what it appears to be on the forum of flog.

BTW I never used the word corrupt in my post, I wonder why Giv is thinking about corruption. As always, follow the money.
