Re: alt.support.kidney-failure

Pierre,

Well before I even had my coffee this morning I got all riled up

from reading what that idiot posted on that newsgroup. I stopped

actively participating in newsgroups a few years ago because so many

of they achieved ultimate spam and idiot status. Meaning the only

posts were spam or from idiots It is very frustrating to see him

tossing about lies here and there as if they were fact and also he

seems to have nothing better to do than attacking you personally.

My personal favorite quote is :

" You are suppressing information. You are manipulating peoples views

by your own agenda. You are censoring posts and you are raking it in

financially, crime and motive there. "

Ah the organized crime agenda of Pierre here on the mafia, um I mean

kidney board... It's just rediculous. I think later on he says that

you can't view igan.ca withougt registering or paying or something

like that as well. It's obvious that he's just throwing some sort of

temper tantrum. I'm sorry that our popularity here seems to have

drawn his ire. I think that all those who are around and actually

know you, the group and the web site see through his fiction.

All of us here know how much you do everyday to help so many. I

think you deserve a tropy.

Thanks . I appreciate the kinds words of support.

I have to admit, it's kind of frustrating and discouraging when things like

this happen.

Make money from this? I wish! It might lift my income at least up to the

poverty level. I like to do photography as a hobby, and I haven't even been

able to afford having a single roll of film developed since last November.

During the past months, I've had to sell off all of my photography equipment

just to be able to pay the bills (not for the website, but just my family

living expenses). A very kind gentleman from the U.S., took pity on my

situation as I was trying to sell my Nikon system on a photo forum, and

after I sold it, he actually sent me a nice little Nikon camera he wasn't

using. I was so overwhelmed by that kindness. So, I don't think I'm making

money from this as was suggested in that newsgroup.

I don't go out of my way to solicit donations, and what I do get barely

covers it. If it wasn't for a couple of patrons who regularly top up the

amount I need at the end of each year, there would be no website. I don't

really want more though, just what I need for the website. I'm pretty good

now for the rest of this year with the donations I already have.

On the upside, the Ottawa Senators soundly beat the Toronto Maple Leafs

right in Toronto, in their first round NHL playoff game on Thursday night

while I was on dialysis

I'm hoping for a similar result tonight in game 2. Go Sens! If they win this

series, then I'm hoping they can go take care of the Boston Bruins next

I also like the fact that the website he tells you to " compare notes

with " is non-existent. LOL! All of his 'information' supposedly comes

from this site that you can't view anymore...hmmmmmm.....

I'm right there with you on the newsgroups thing. To quote a

I would like to second and Amy's post. Pierre, I hope you know how many

of us you've helped. This group helped me immensely when I was first diagnosed

and continues to do so in many ways. I am thankful for you and the rest of the

moderators and contributors. This group fits any comfort level as well. I am a

" lurker " and jump in when I feel comfortable, have time, or feel I have

something to contribute. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone and especially

you, Pierre, for starting such a wonderful group!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday weekend!

I would like to second and Amy's post. Pierre, I hope you know how many

of us you've helped. This group helped me immensely when I was first diagnosed

and continues to do so in many ways. I am thankful for you and the rest of the

moderators and contributors. This group fits any comfort level as well. I am a

" lurker " and jump in when I feel comfortable, have time, or feel I have

something to contribute. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone and especially

you, Pierre, for starting such a wonderful group!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday weekend!

Re: alt.support.kidney-failure

Pierre,

Well before I even had my coffee this morning I got all riled up

from reading what that idiot posted on that newsgroup. I stopped

actively participating in newsgroups a few years ago because so many

of they achieved ultimate spam and idiot status. Meaning the only

posts were spam or from idiots It is very frustrating to see him

tossing about lies here and there as if they were fact and also he

seems to have nothing better to do than attacking you personally.

My personal favorite quote is :

" You are suppressing information. You are manipulating peoples views

by your own agenda. You are censoring posts and you are raking it in

financially, crime and motive there. "

Ah the organized crime agenda of Pierre here on the mafia, um I mean

kidney board... It's just rediculous. I think later on he says that

you can't view igan.ca withougt registering or paying or something

like that as well. It's obvious that he's just throwing some sort of

temper tantrum. I'm sorry that our popularity here seems to have

drawn his ire. I think that all those who are around and actually

know you, the group and the web site see through his fiction.

All of us here know how much you do everyday to help so many. I

think you deserve a tropy.

Hi Pierre and ,

I have not gone to the website and read the vile things is

referring to...but let me just set the record straight on one thing

here. Pierre FAR from profits from this group. As the matter of

fact, Pierre supports this group out of his own pocket, and despite

the fact that I make pleas a couple of times a year for the group

members to help shoulder some of the financial burden from Pierre,

very very very very few members contribute anything and it still

costs Pierre money out of his own disability to fund this site.

Just wanted to make sure there was absolutely no mistake about that

point! Pierre is the exact opposit of " raking it in financially " but

rather supports this out of his own (very limited I might add)

financial resources.

Hi Dana

Thanks to you too for the kind words. I'm only human, and I sometimes can

use some reassurance, just like everyone else, especially after such a

vicious personal attack like that

The current tempest in a teapot on that newsgroup reminds me a lot of the

kind of hate emails I was getting after I decided to form the group in 2000.

Thanks to you, Walt, and Amy (hope I'm not missing anyone), I'm

leaving for dialysis in half an hour without worrying about it. I love all

you guys.
