Over the years there have been some very knowledgeable people join diabetes.co.uk, most have checked out long ago. Can you blame them ? The lunatics took over the asylum a long way back. Over sixty thousand members and less than one percent post on a regular basis. It's been awhile since the place had any knowledgeable mods and the likes of Bonkers run the place.
Although almost all the good news and success stories revolves around lowcarbing, someone, somewhere, does not want the forum becoming too lowcarb. Even when a man of calm and very polite starts a new thread i.e IanD it’s locked within hours. This thread only contained three non controversial posts, posting some positive information re. lowcarbing. It was Ian’s attempt to get the Southport Doctor back posting (recently described by Sid Bonkers as a troll) on another thread, that thread was locked and then unlocked, how long before it is locked again ? Sid as always slinked off into the shadows after lighting the blue touch paper. He has learned not to argue, he always loses, and makes a complete chump of himself. But the damage is done !
Clearly the management at diabetes.co.uk appreciate Sid’s talent as a world class trouble maker. They know nothing brings in the punters more than a good bun fight. Sod the newbie’s and the confused, just keep building that mail shot list, even when you are banned, the marketing emails still come in !
diabetes.co.uk could have been a shining light and a great beacon for diabetics all over the world, but at best it’s a mediocre resource and at worse a misinformation outfit in my opinion. How the likes of Ian keep trying over there is beyond me, but I applaud his fortitude and patience. No doubt Bonkers will slither back under the door when the heat cools down. Let’s face it, on 1200 calories a day he must be pretty thin, but make no mistake, he is doing many people in trouble no good at all, I hope he is proud of himself. I hope I am proved wrong and the Doctor returns, but my money is on the Bonkers ones have seen off another useful lowcarb member, and another Doctor, the madness continues !
