HadIt.com Elder cowgirl Posted August 29, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) Tbird, thank you and the 'volunteer' moderators~ for the hours, days, months, years of genuine concern and unselfish dedication to others. Is it possible that I have been here give or take 4 years? and Hadit has been here for over 12 years!? Whee... Congraulations and thank you for your patience as we struggling veterans and family arrive daily to work the VA puzzle. This Hadit cowgirl is beholden to my 'life-saving' Hadit family. Edited August 29, 2009 by cowgirl For my children, my God sent husband and my Hadit family of veterans, I carry on. God Bless A m e r i c a, Her Veterans and their Families!

Jayg Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) I'm just a newcomer here but am very grateful for this place. Without it, the people here, I would have blown my fuse before this. We are a bunch of largely stressed, frequently medicated, individuals dealing with often intensely personal, emotionally charged issues with a desperately needed yet adversarial institution organized so as to thwart us at every turn (except on very rare occasion or so it seems). We will vent, can't not. The ability of the moderators to ride herd on such a disparate group, to know when somebody is just blowing steam, whether to, when, and how much to rein 'em, or when somebody is just being obnoxious and needs to be dealt with is remarkable. Such choices and decisions are a tough call. None of it is designed to make you popular or win you many friends and can alienate you from some you have. I too am a moderator on another site with fairly strict rules of conduct, 'G' rating at all times, and it can be rough. But the result is a better place suited to the wants and needs of the bulk of those who stay and participate. It also makes for a much more effecient means of sharing and disseminating information when there is no fear of being flamed for sharing a bit of knowledge or an opinion. I guess what I'm trying to say is, that this is just such a place, and thank you, all of you T-bird, moderators, and members for it. :D Edited August 30, 2009 by Jayg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted September 3, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 3, 2009 The Moderators are in agreement and if you post political links or observations the post will be unapproved and if it is inflammatory for this Board you can be suspended for a cool down period. Inflammatory for this Board is partisan either Democrat or Republican. Go somewhere else for politics. The politics of VA are the only exception. There seems to be a few Members who are trying to push each other into a flame war and this will not be tolerated. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

Founder Tbird Posted September 3, 2009 Author Founder Share Posted September 3, 2009 zero tolerance tbird Tbird Founder HadIt.com Veteran To Veteran LLC - Founded Jan 20, 1997 HadIt.com Veteran To Veteran | Community Forum | RallyPoint | FaceBook | LinkedIn | About Me Time Dedicated to HadIt.com Veterans and my brothers and sisters: 65,700 - 109,500 Hours Over Thirty Years I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it. I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life. The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.
