Here’s a fun topic that might be of interest.
Hilary went to town today taken by her son-in-law to collect her new spectacles.
While she was there she bought me a pack of new underpants from the market.
They work a bit like a push up bra for men.
She said they came from a company called Photoshop.
Do you think they suit me?
Sometimes a fellow needs a little help.
I feel a lot better now.
keep on keepin’ on
Definitely suit you @Bobbi it’s amazing what us women can find when we’re out shopping…it shouldn’t be allowed 
Thank you for the smile.
Thankyou.
It seems not everyone agrees.
Unfortunately it seems we have reached an impasse where the only answer appears to be to make a break with the Stroke Association.
I will manage okay without them and, equally, they will continue as ever without me.
keep on keepin’ on
Still can’t find where to unplug this thing. Might just have to chop through the cable.
It must be great to cut someone off in mid chat to win an argument. Sounds like an option for losers to me though, as does having to wear a mask to disguise identity.
Farewell to those who love me and to those who hate.
I recommend love for getting results. Hate is messy and has nasty side effects.
Message to admin,
Hi admim
I will move along and take my body with me.
Byeeeeeeeee.
I know when I am not wanted.
keep on keepin’ on
Oh for goodness sake, how pathetic is that?!
Can’t anyone take a stupid joke anymore.
I give up, I really do despair for some people 
That post is a direct ad hominem attack even if you don’t know where to aim it and I have flagged it
A deeper problem is that we have forum admin who are anonymous and invisible and take down posts that we the community agree are quite legitimate.
Lea flagged your post not because she felt it was in any way inappropriate but because she is annoyed by the lack of consistent treatment of different people by moderators.
She had a perfectly innocent similar picture picture That she was told she couldn’t post because it was ‘explicit’ - that’s the issue.
To all whom it may concern.
I have received messages telling me that my posts are causing distress and upset amongst the stroke community.
As a result I have decided to request that all my content at the Stroke Association be taken down.
My contributions were all made with good intent. I don’t feel a need to justify myself and I will certainly not apologise when requested.
In order to prevent such difficulties I think it would be best if the Stroke Association stopped communicating with me. Please remove my membership, my group, all my threads, posts and blog content. I will also stop my volunteer work at this point.
I feel that things have been on a downward slide for some time. I don’t want to be a part of that.
I’ll move along then we can then all be happy.

Bobby, for goodness sake don’t quit on us now.
Ignore the haters, they are just nameless, faceless, keyboard warrior, trolls.
You are above all that.
Don’t you dare give them the satisfaction of quitting.
You and Hilary are 2 valuable contributors to many on here and what will happen to your chat group.
And your story is not all told yet, your just about to make great strides back out into the world, you have to stay. Don’t give in to the bullies, they’re really not worth it.
If you want to quit the SA do it because you really don’t need or have time for it anymore.
Do not give in to bullying and I’ll be shocked and disappointed if the SA don’t do what’s right to resolve this matter!
@EmeraldEyes
I support your call on Bobby to not react so explosively 
But
Actually I’m going to challenge that. The people IN this forum are not keyboard warrior trolls - I know you meant to give Bobby succor - unless of course you are referring to communityadmin where nameless faceless both apply
There are those who have been upset with Bobby. Several block him. The apparent problem in this case and certainly in the past in my direct experience is that moderation is not handled with necessary qualities. They don’t empathise let alone understand
The forum is meant to be a safe space for everybody and yet it is not. The source of that danger and thus anxiety, in my experience come from the very people who are paid to be here not the ones who come for and to give support.
I agree that Bobby provides a valuable contribution.
Not everybody can get along with everybody else all the time nor should they be expected to. Harnessing diversity leads to the strongest community. Do we have an admin having made bad decisions in the past attempting to be consistent so continuing to make bad decisions in the present?

I have been following the recent discussions and want to remind everyone of our Community rules, which are in place to ensure a respectful and supportive environment for all members.
Moderation decisions are made to uphold these rules and are not personal. We appreciate all contributions and encourage respectful interactions.
To maintain a positive and respectful atmosphere, I will be closing this thread.
