There seems to be very little activity on either this or the PWWA forum on DS. I check both saseveral times a day but it is slim pickin's in both places - Guess we have DS to thank for this - We had been experiencing low turnout but never as low as this.
On the other hand, things might just be calming down and everyone might be chllin' - I definitely hope so.
Hope everyone will in touch when (if) you need to -
Take Care T.K.

I've been so preoccupied with life stuff that I haven't been thinking about estrangement hardly at all. Life can do that sometimes. Just have had a ton of other things on my mind. Some things that keep me awake at night but really not all that terrible. Just stuff that will all eventually get sorted out. It's kept me really really really busy and distracted.
I did mention on another thread here tonight that I just learned that I've been banned on the Proboards PEACE group. What the heck? I have no idea what that is about. I had registered with the group shortly after the move of several groups off of Daily Strength. Hadn't posted that I can remember since registering. Hadn't posted much there even before the move. Had no conflicts with anyone that I am aware of. And I am banned?! Really!? Geeeesh!

I was banned too - in fact, they blocked my ISP - talk about 'cha paranoia...maybe they are completely losing it over there.
I had just wanted to come on to their board to tell them that PWWA had moved (after IGAVEUP and NoDrama made a big show of telling everyone on all of our PWWA posts about THEIR move here) But for my kindness to them, I got banned - What's up with THAT?
It's okay- As I recall, yhey probably want everyone to bring cheese and crackers when they sign on - after all, what's a whine-fest without crackers and cheese?
No great loss - you are always welcome here Tall!

:-) As you said, Topi, no great loss. But it is mystifying. There is no sensible reason that I can see why they would ban you or me. Weird, weird, weird. I have plenty to do so one less board to check on is fine with me. I like to offer my own experience when it seems like it might be of help to someone else. But apparently they are doing fine with no input from us. I feel as though I am in very good company to be banned along with you!! Makes no sense at all. Someone over there must be losing it. It only takes one person whose panties are in a bunch to ban someone. Well, I spent enough time wondering about that. I can think of one thing that I can do that I had done that was a favor to them. I think I'll just go and undo my favor to them. They don't deserve it.

Being banned by someone who runs a group and being mystified by their action is kind of a metaphor for what has happened to so many of us. It's ironic. To join a group that is about estrangement and then to be banned without even having had a conflict with anyone in the group. Becoming estranged from family without having done something that deserves the punishment of estrangement. Deja vu all over again. I hope someone from that group comes over here occasionally and reads these posts and realizes that someone in that group maybe has a screw or two loose.

Actually, unless they are members, nobody can read our posts. I set it up where you have to register before going into the post portion - this is why I have instructions on how to register with PWWA on the front page of this site. This ensures that we have a measure of security from trolls who will just try to skim the sites without joining. Of course, if they join, I can't prevent them from reading - but I can ban them if they make inappropriate comments.
As for being banned, I had altercations with the former "founder" of the other site - he was the one who banned me and a lot of other folks who had been admins and/or major contributors! My take on it is that if people don't want me in their group, I am happy to be gone from it!

I, as explained in another post, have been in Ireland these last 2 weeks with husband getting our holiday cottage ready for sale. In Ireland, Co Sligo, the internet reception is atrocious..so I was unable to access.. We are now back in London again. Returning to Florida on October 4th.. I agree with you all..you don't want me enough to ban me (lol) I will be only too happy to make myself scarce! These people really should get a life, methinks!

Speaking of PEACE, I was on there for a while. I had to get off because I wasn't where some of the parents were in their journey. I was irritated with the back and forth crap. I have to be honest. I think what they do for others that are on the fence is great but I cut the tumor out, stitched it up and it's healing. I realized I was irritated beyond belief. I felt like a witch on there and it wasn't fair. I said my goodbye to a large room with silence - save for the few goodbyes lol.
I checked out of curiosity - I'm banned bwhaha. IDC!!!!
