I resent the fact that messages are edited by the staff of this blog.. I give a lot of thought and time in replying to posts only to have someone edit out content. It’s big brother at best a police state at worst. I guess free speech doesn’t apply here.

I have not encountered any editing. Have you contacted Darryl about this.

2/3 of my reply to ellie2211 was cut out. Most of the pieces of my journey were cut out.

Wow. An Xtandi pioneer. I salute you. I'm behind you by a couple of years. 32 months now. I was deleted for giving info about survey site. Funny thing is ... I got the info from this site! From admin. Who did later delete their info. Conflict with their non-profit status? I have since made a little over $1,000 from doing interviews. Nice for someone on Social Security. Sorry poor people, I don't need competition. Google it. I am sure that Whimpy-p holds the record for being deleted, banned and blocked. But he is Tenacious D. Rize of the Fenix. He throws down every day.

I’ve been deleted oops many times. I deserved it

I have only been deleted when I deserved it. LOL

I think Daryl does a pretty good job with some difficult people.

Especially with some of the cranky old men here. Like when Nalakrat wanted to challenge me to a back alley brawl. LOL

Rats, leave me your address any time. I will oblige. LOL

Edits are made to reduce spam, bigotry, hate and antagonism, words like f—k, political posts (though some relevant to cancer might stay), obvious snake oil (disinfectant does not cure prostate cancer) and slander. There’s a longer post pinned to the right on our policy. Of the thousands of posts and replies I read through every month, hardly any require editing. Thank you all for that!

Hey Darryl!

You--of all people! You just started a political back and forth which isn't always voiced in the kindest, most soothing words! ---Duhh--LOL! No one is perfect!

Thanks for your work with the site though!

Currumpaw

Addendum--I won't answer anyone who responds to me. I have better things lined up than a political back and forth.

In my opinion, it would be more ethical to delete the entire post instead of editing it.

I also think that some posters cross over the line into prescribing what another patient should or should not do with regard to treatments. I fiercely object to such malpractice unless the poster is an MD licensed to practice in the state or country where the patient resides.

Not my FORUM thus not my rules. Want to be in control, start your own forum. That's my take.

THANK YOU BIG D!!!!

But Darryl, disinfectant could cure Covid 19, at least the most powerful man in the world thinks it might. Thankfully I am Australian. Our leader is fairly sensible.

scarlino in reply to Chask

Ours is too. Reported both wrongly and deliberately wrong. Disinfectants are used internally at times for certain conditions, so it is neither uncommon nor out of the question. People need to lighten up. Too many other things to worry about.

noahware in reply to scarlino

Yes, all the people on both ends of the Poison Control phone lines need to lighten up. Hang up that phone. Too many other things to worry about.

[Let's see if moderators edit this for gratuitous sarcasm!]

Because it is moderated, this site is incredibly helpful, supportive, and focused on the health of men with advanced prostate cancer. It is filled with information about peer-reviewed research most sites on our subject don't have. Many sites are moderated to keep the focus on whatever the subject is. Hats off to Darryl for reading through a whole lotta stuff every day and keeping us in our lanes so we don't have to wade through too many distracting off-topic comments.

Good to know. I don't think I've ever been edited or deleted. I do find the quality of this site and the usefulness of knowledge shared to be very high. It seems we good brothers (and sisters) at least have benevolent masters here.

Yea what’s up with that ..... sometimes I say stuff like ...xxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxx , and xxx xxxxx x. @&$#& x xxxx. And I’ll xxxx xxxxxx $&#@ xxxx . Then it gets upgraded to .... I should ??????????? .?? ..... ???? ! like that and it never gets posted. Guess I forget there are ladies and innocent children reading this too ..

Thank goodness someone with a more level head intervenes. I think I prefer it that way myself , I guess I vote on the side of intervention.

I’m surely among the most “ edited “ posters on here , top or close to it it seems. I don’t mind myself ... whatever. Yayahahahaya I started removing my own posts now and editing them too Yayahahahaya

Go figure !
