I think a banner from you would do her a world of good. She is bothered from last nite's chat and a banner from you would be wonderful. I admire you for doing this.

HOST: if you see this banner please, please choose it and fly it for ArReal. Thanks!

I take back the unflattering things I said about you, Norequerdo. Your last two posts show a lot of class.

I think the biggest thing about the chat that made me a little upset and I know it is one of the reasons it made Nik upset was the fact that it was supposed to be a real time discussion between the 10 BGs, whether posters were saying mean things or nice things was not the point as much as them saying nothing at all. We as posters were supposed to be able to just sit back and enjoy their convo in real time and with some many non-players asking questions it became a real clusterphuck.

Chrissy, I know half of my complaint was that it was to have been a time of discussion for the BGs and they never had a chance to talk to each other other than a passing sentence here and there.

I can definitely accept the fact that Norequerdo wonders why no one said anything to her, but hey it was repeatedly "begged" by the hosts for everyone to let the HGs speak and that was never done so how could anyone get a message to her.

I think a lot of the problem with this game is that it is so much easier to be confrontational with others on the internet that sometimes we forget that even on the internet our words can hurt and be damaging to ANYONE. (And BTW, yes I am looking in the mirror first.)

Nor - read and accepted, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. - I really appreciate the banner. I'm sorry I'm so angry, but I did take everything from the boards relating to Arreal and discussed them with a MHP. As you know and advent probably said, he of course cannot diagnose her, but the red flags were throughout some of her posts. Like anything on the internet, it's hard to verify or "be sure", but I am not willing to take the chance. Anyways the gist of this is - Lets be humans about this, we don't need to hurt someone.

Host I'd really like to see a vote setup for us to vote on a few banners to fly - you know how much fun we had dicussing a 2nd banner for BB. I would love to have us guests get to choose a banner every day or everyother day or whathave you amongst ourselves via a poll or vote or something.

Ocean! I think your comments way up this board (sorry I didn't log on earlier) are right on the mark! Nice to see them.

And I think that those wanting to protect Arreal are being overly harsh to Nosq. Of course any sane, organization chartered with the lifeanddeath situation of caring for the elderly and infirmed would take immediate and prudent actions to protect those in their care. And if Arreal disclosed she had multiples the rational thing is remove her from where her alters could cause endangered care. From the bits of info I glean from Arreal's statement that they supervised her care with patients, I deduce the home was taking a pro-active, prudent posture towards Arreal. Norq's suggestions she seek protection under ADA is a valid one. And I for one would not tolerate my elderly parents be under the un-supervised care of someone who could become an "alter" of anykind. Its nothing against Arreal, its just plain fact. And apparently her therapist agreed and suggested she remove herself from that environment. Disabilities do prevent those disabled from doing somethings and as much as we hate to admit: that's why they are called handicaps! The trick is to find what one can do and the go do it with unfettered fervor.
