It could have been VB, but it is quite rude enough, thanks. :)

So basically the shrinks say they're helpless? Sounds strange to me, especially for a kid that young (treated at 12). So here is a good one, I go to a shrink and declare I have a dramatic condition, I dream of being a billionaire, and my life is hell. Are they going to grant me health coverage, and the insurance company give me one billion? After all they're helpless, I cannot be cured, and the insurance has to do something. :wtf: X| :wtf: X|

Its better than the other way round, I hear a "Strapadictomy" is quite a large procedure!

The idea was to start the hormone therapy before puberty hits.

I'll move it for you. And yeah - allowing messages to be moved is high on the TODO list.

Enjoy is not the correct word but I would certainly talk to her about it and do not believe that an article in a freely available newspaper shoul dbe censored thrid hand: that is a complete nonsense. You are grossly overeacting to nothing.

I think I have been misread. I did not ask for censorship, just to move the thread to the soapbox where it belongs. There is nothing so big there, and given I have been generously 1 voted, I do not feel I am the one overreacting there. This thread is not KSS, and I think some members also apply the OS or CS rule (office safe or cubicle safe). Since when using the soapbox is considered censorship? :doh: How about those members who systematically get 1 voted, or even more, automatically removed. Now, that is censorship. Quite different from using the soapbox, isn't it?

I would say that in general shrinks are even more in the dark.

I just wish we'd stop claiming we are protecting our kid sisters (mine is in her 50's) and admit we are protecting our less sophisticated members.

Can't really do that either. It's cosmetic surgery and hormone therapy; more "Pimp My Ride" than "Monster Garage". I can't help but think this will end up in the textbooks right next to ice-pick lobotomies and bloodletting.

No, it isn't. Censorship is when the government determines what can and cannot be published or displayed. This website is private property. The rules about what should be posted here are ultimately in the hands of Chris and he can delete any and or all posts made here without doing anything but exercising his right to control his property. He has chosen, for reasons that are good and suffient to him, to delegate some of that power to the members of this site. He has given the members a tool that allows us to vote to make troll-posts and posting-trolls go away. If enough of us vote in favor of deleting someone's message then it disappears into the void. Because Chris wants it that way. So, if you have a problem with deleting messages, take it up with Chris. tell him he's not running his website to your satisfaction - and let me know how that works for you, OK? As to being 1-voted: tell it to the hand.

the number of double entendres you were able to pack into that phrase is impressive.

Perfectly fine with me.

No I do not. I was just stressing the fact my request to move a thread to the soapbox was rather inocuous, and was no censorship at all. And my point was it was less important than deleting someone's message(s), so thank you for feeding my mill, as you are saying even this is no censorship.

I was just saying people (at least some of them) had expressed copiously their thought about my post. And how about the suggestion of adding a voting button similar to the "Remove this message", but like "Move this thread to the soapbox"?

Come on! who 1 voted this message? For sure, someone who has absolutely no sense of humour...
