New rules for improving our peer-to-peer behavior

[Darryl]

We're a support group community, which means many of our 15,200+ members come here because they are hurting, crying, stressed out, or want a safe place where they can be men fighting cancer. Rudeness, poor comportment, foul language, and hurtful statements have no place here. So, starting today, all new members will be enrolled in an etiquette course.

From the teachings of the Balissande Finishing School ( balissandefinishingschool.t... ), our prostate cancer community members will develop empathy and poise, setting examples of caring and eloquence for family, friends, and doctors.

Balissande is one of the world's finest schools, where royalty, captains of industry, and the upper crust learn how to relate in peace, kindness, and beauty. Completion of the Balissande eleven-week finishing school course ( bit.ly/3tR2QfL ) will be mandated for those of you who resist our new behavior standards.

I hope you all understand and accept this intervention.

If it can make me eloquent (doubtful), sign me up.

Thanks Darryl, this is probably something I should have done a long time ago. It has taken me a long time to learn to choose my words for best effect, and I know I have more to learn.

Very Timely Darryl

I was looking for something just like this for my Granddaughters. The internet being what it is, surely someone has created a knock off for a little less than $39K.

[Javelin18 in reply to Scout4answers]

I looked at the price, after reading your comment. I don't think we can realistically ask people to spend that much. There are probably etiquette guides that we could use. I'll see what my library has online.

April 1st

[Scout4answers in reply to Javelin18]

Think Darryl was putting us on , it is after all April Fools Day!

[Javelin18 in reply to Scout4answers]

Okay, I wasn't sure if it was a joke. Should have remembered the date. I still think I'll read the book I found below. I've been having a hard time talking with people about my cancer.

Didn't find anything at my library, but found this on Amazon,

[monte1111]

Very funny. I think j-o-h-n should be the first one mandated.

[westof in reply to monte1111]

[j-o-h-n in reply to monte1111]

Darryl, this confirms my suspicion (from your PCa expert interview videos) that you have a fine sense of humor.

[spencoid2]

[DenDoc]

LMAO. Good one Darryl. I bit hard on this one.

[Foldem]

Well done, sir. I got quite a laugh when I got to the link. Also a bit of sticker shock!

[Boonster]

HAHAHAHAHA! Clever!

[thudson1965]

I checked the link and thought "WTF" $55K - then April fools - not cool.

[dhccpa]

I sure as hell don't want to take an 11-week course, so I'd better bone up on the rules! Good to remind us periodically

[anonymoose2]

Thank you Darryl. You are a gentleman and scholar.

Mr Debonair

[Rocketman1960]

Charm School for the Internet. Ha! I thought I was already charming. Darryl, Happy April!

[j-o-h-n]

Another nail in my coffin.....I learned all my etiquette from my good friend and mentor, Will Smith.....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
