I think she's gone.
Her posts are now in the name of Rowan and they show as Guest.
Does anybody know whats's happened?

Ok - I did a search (should have done it before posting - I know :-\).
It's a shame she's gone - I was just about to PM her about heart problems.
Hey ho.
I hope she keeps well.
-
She has left due to.....well you probably know why. It's really such a shame.
If you want to get in touch Limpy then PM me as she said I could put her friends in touch if they wanted.
I will miss her and it's all so unnecessary :-\

I fear I added to this exit - inadvertently. I am not sure how I feel about this website now, which is a shame as women really do need sources of information and support about the menopause. It's coloured my view somewhat
-
Silverlady has had these problems before so its not new.
She is fine...just had enough for now.
The forum has these issues at times....no where is perfect I'm afraid.

I understand that, a forum builds because of it's members and the content is led by them. I just thought I had found somewhere that had a broader base of experiences and interaction beyond HRT. As a newcomber to this whole area, I hadn't really twigged soo enought that this was the case :)
-
Wow, can you remove the personal email link please.
You dont really want that on an open forum.

Who is Softie.
Do we have a troll here.
Reported to moderator so hopefully the address will be gone really soon.
-
Honeybun - I ignored the email and haven't written it down.
-
Hopefully it will be gone soon.
Don't know who this person is .....not nice at all.

It's gone now.

Thanks Emma.
Not sure what that was all about.

Silverlady has been in touch with me to say that apart from family and three members of MM, no one has her email address.
So that begs the question :-\

Been a while since anything like this has happened. Shame silverlady felt the need to leave, but these things happen. She'll maybe come back again in the future.
We certainly don't need trolls.
Stay safe silverlady if you read this.
-
I am really sad that Silverlady has left us, she was a great support. I must have missed something as I don't know why she has gone.
HB would you mind passing on my best wishes please :thankyou: (http://:thankyou:) PN x x
-
I certainly will. No problem

Not long on here but pass on my best wishes too please. X
That was strange earlier, Emma will know from IP address maybe where that came from!
-
SHAME, SHAME SHAME.
I thought the forum was a bit empty yesterday. After reading the offending thread I now understand.
Perhap the site should be renamed 'HRT Matters'.
I won't be posting for a while, in protest and sympathy for Silverlady.
-
HB- can you let Silverlady know I'm sad she has gone... I like having a balanced approach to all things menopause as one size does not fit all.

HoneyB, please could you send her my love and hugs too. She has given me some fantastic advice and I am so sad she's left. Let's hope it's not permanent x
-
Silverlady if you are on as a guest and see this thread, we are all thinking of you, take time out and hopefully join us again, your posts are interesting and helpful. X
-
It's just a shame that she felt victimized and had to leave with no support at all.
As I said before, all opinions should be respected.

On here we don't know one another but we do know we are going through the same emotions and if bad comments are being thrown at us it will be taken personally and bring us down. SL got a bit more than her fair share,
Yes we should respect others opinions, if we don't like opinion don't respond, others may value that opinion x
-
SL's opinion was really helping me as I search through my options and get to grips with various changes going on for me. Fortunately I have used the search function to follow up some of her tips and find various threads that talk about the things I am interested in. It doesn't change the sense that she isn't being supported and I guess anyone else, including myself will not find it easy to 'join in' - but that's OK.
I still might post what is working for me :)
-
I'm trying to talk her into coming back, but I'm not sure how successful I will be.
Perhaps it would be an idea to have an "alternative " section that those who are not able or don't want to go down the HRT route would feel comfortable asking and discussing things without any worries of science being the main theme.
Perhaps if enough of us were to ask the administrator, and as the forum is undergoing some work, it might be possible to have a dedicated alternative section.
Would anyone be interested in asking......should I start a new topic, and ask for a "show of hands" Then we could ask if it was possible.
Just a thought.

I have no idea what this is all about, but gather there have been some unpleasant posts. I am sorry and will miss silver lady. I have appreciated her wise posts.

I think this idea makes perfect sense, the main website has a section for alternative therapies and techniques like homeopathy and accupuncture and it would make sense to me that the forum reflected this. :)
-
I'm in on that HB x
-
I would value that Honeybun, HRT is not an option for me and Silverladys posts were always good to read about different avenues to explore.If you need a show of hands mine are waving!

Well done Honeyb

Me too. I think it's a great idea. Thanks HB!
-
Please could someone PM me and tell me what has happened? I miss Silver Lady too.

Been on holiday, find it sad SL is no longer on forum, she was a lovely spirited person.

This is from Silverlady.........
Don't post to MM on a kindle if you have one, it does not recognize certain certain words and will put a similar sounding word in its place and won't let you correct it.
It was assumed by MM that I intentionally was rude and insulting to a member even though I said that I was on my kindle and I was sorry about the typo. I assumed they thought I was being sarcastic which I certainly was not.
The consequence was that my account was suspended. I deleted my account myself
This and all that has happened to me on MM plus the Troll post compounds the reason why I felt I could not carry on with MM.
I have made some lovely friends on MM but it has also caused me a lot of anxiety and stress, which Emma was aware of.
Thank you for all the members who have supported me.

Thanks for posting that Honeyb.
The whole thing was such a big shame.
-
I am sorry to hear you have suffered in this way SL.
Your posts, in my opinion, have always been valuable and you have shown great support to me in the past
You must do what is right for you, but it doesn't stop me feeling sad
My very best wishes to you

Thanks HB x x

Thanks for that HB - I must have missed that post somehow. Please tell SL that I miss her and hope that one day she will feel she can come back, her posts were interesting and uplifting and she gave a lot of support to others.
-
What a shame!!! Thanks HB and very best wishes to Silver Lady.
