Hdugger,
Why are you trying to divide the forum into "surgical" and "non-surgical" camps? There's room for all kinds of therapies. As far as I can tell, most people that have had surgery have tried at least some non-surgical approaches. So where do those of us that non-surgical approaches have failed fall within your categorization of forum members? Lest I remind you that for some of us, surgery is also not an option, as in my case and your son's case. I think categorizing people according to your own standards is just wrong. It makes everyone who ends up having surgery, despite valiant efforts at non-surgical approaches, feel like a failure and forces them into the "surgical camp". There are not two camps here and your suggestion that there are causes contention among forum members. Unless you just like to stir the pot. I'm really disappointed in these kinds of posts that you have been posting. I don't care that you have experience running other online forums. That just gives you more experience on how to push people's buttons and take things off track AND makes you more accountable for continuing contentious conversations. There is no immoral work being done on this forum. There is simply a worldwide base of different personalities and opinions. If you think one member is being a bully, then report the bullying and don't try to divide the whole forum into camps.
