Over the years you get to see it all on the DCUK forum. The good, the bad, the ugly and the totally insane. No one has more tricks up their sleeves than the low carb antis. To the experienced forum watcher, it's all very transparent. Trouble is the mods never see it. Maybe they do but don't give a monkeys. One of the great tricks is 'the old sensible post ploy' This is used after a member has got threads locked, bludgeoned members off the forum, or posted complete bullshit and utter tosh for months. It suddenly dawns on the chump, Jeez people are beginning to smell a rat, I better post something sensible. A great example you see below.
From Kman today.
"Welcome Rachel, I hope this will be your first of many visits here, You will find the Good, the Bad and definitely the Ugly ( Me ), but you will find marvalous friends loads of rubbish, but lots and lots more great stuff, the best of advice, the most important information of your life, and a Community second to none !
Take everything under careful consideration, always consult your diabetic team, and i guess you have a lot to give experience wise having been Diabetic that long,
Most of all have FUN,
Warmest. Regards."
There are many other tricks. Watch out for the old 'link to a bloke in a shed with six rats study and fat will kill ya ploy' It's a bute and my old friend Phoenix is a master. The Cherub is much more subtle with her 'looks like a harmless neutral post at first glance ploy' it's quality with a capital K, Nobheads 'go back and edit your own post years later ploy' when you look a complete hypocrite trick is a masterclass in deception. Sid's get the thread locked, bully people off the forum and 'disappear for a week ploy' is an old Navajo Indian trick. No disrespect to Navajo Indians. Only another Navajo can fool a Navajo. I know these things.

Kman must have read the latest on your blog.
Really upping the sympathy vote now,

A walking miracle IMHO.
One very, very sick lady. There is a wealth of material available on "Attention Seeking" behaviour. It is instructive to have such a comprehensive case study open to us.
There is a real danger in the use of the PM system to manipulate the weak and vulnerable. The lady has form.

Just read that thread. Fair enough wanting to warn others so they don't end up in your situation. Call me odd but I think that then I would want to spend my limited time with my family rather than posting about names for a mobility scooter. Wendie who also posts I assume is the devoted wife? Support is one thing but spending my limited time ona forum seems a weird choice to me.
It's all a complete spoof ! We know who this this person is, we have seen it all before.

Looks like she's still talking to herself. Its turning into a real problem for her with no one real posting on the thread anymore. Well at least we know who are her sock puppet accounts. Diamond Ash is obvious.
