DoctorB Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 so ban this guy. You said you would with one more post. Besides being off-topic, you forgot to mention that it was tasteless and brain-dead to make fun of people with illnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidnark Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I can't open the link from work, and I don't have the authority to ban someone. Steve, if the link is inappropriate, please ban him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I've already given Metz a "formal" warning. Now Nark has given him one. He can't abide by the rules, so he should go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills16 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 my mother lived with parkinson's for 12 years and died at the age of 60. i moved back from illinois and helped my father take care of her for the last 5 years of her life. trust me, there is nothing funny about parkinson"s.

DoctorB Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 my heartfelt sympathies. My own Mom suffers from diabetes, heart condition, and myasthenia, among other ailments. I nostalgically recall her in her earlier, more energatic days, so I know how tough that is. Most of the folks who post here are not so clueless and infantile about what offends people as the 3 or 4 who evidently are. I suppose now I am being "elitist" again, but thanks to the board for finally calling out one of the loudest and most annoying posters on here.

bills16 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 doctorb, lost my father too diabetes in may of 2004. double amputee, and basically blind by the time he died. bedridden for the last two and a half years of his life but we kept him at home until a couple of days before he passed away. he told the doctor a few months before he died, that he wanted to live long enough to see the cubs win a world series. i told him i couldn't live that long and i was 46 at the time.:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwyjibo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I did not see any jokes but if there was I would not be amused at all. I have known several people with Parkinson's and know very well the travails of my much-loved mother who has been diagnosed for 10 years now. I have no idea why this has even come up here.
