Not that im asking your "forgiveness", but I will clarify my statment. What I see on this forum (over and over)is :

1. A question is asked.
2. Advice is given
3. 5 to 15 posts of name calling

do you think that a person that stumbled on this forum looking for help is going to understand whats going on?

They only way is for them to spend several hours and read all the old posts.
I think that It would be very likely for someone to see all ugly threads and go somewhere else for info. I know that for me in the USA I had an almost imposible time getting information. If I didnt find this forum I would have had no idea about non surgical treatment of phimosis or even a dorsal slit( a less surgical method ) . I would have probably had the the full circ because thats what the doc said I needed.

Jim, I was not attacking the advice in this forum only the way the threads always get ugly.

Okay, Its easy for me to critisize. Here is my suggestion for solving the problem.


This idea may or maynot work, but its worth a try.

Since AJ always seems to be the catalyst for a thread turning south why dont you just freeze him out. Every time he posts just respond "AJ lies" or something short like that. He "getsoff" on engaging people dont give him any ammunition. With a short 2 word message after eveyone off his posts he will quickly run out of stuff to write. Also anyone new to the forum will quickly discount anything that he does write (since "AJ lies" ) any responces he has to "AJ lies" will illustrate that hes a kook. The key to the whole thing is NEVER answer him only respond "AJ lies"

>What I read is a very serious jab at advice that has been given. If you'll look back over the last couple of weeks, you'll see there have been a number of inquiries and every one of them has been addressed properly. In doing that you'll also notice one very clear obstacle in the way of progress. You certainly didn't make that clear, and I take offense at your broad accusation. If you wish to clarify your original intent in meaning, I'll be happy to forgive you.
