want you to dig up the bodies of the BTA and ATA members you want dead.
let them live, Jonny!

This is why shit like "don't be afraid of tinnitus" piss me off.
dude don't speak out against the status quoAnd exactly what kind of action do you propose I do?
I already told you, I refuse to get involved in projects, that undermine tinnitus...
Yes action speaks louder than words, but I'm not so sure if you speak English...or maybe you are just confused?
Its aim is not to make people afraid.
Look... I know you mean well, but you did say what that the aim of the guide is for people not to be afraid.Again: WE NEVER SAID THIS!!!!
Never ever said that, it was merely your misinterpretation of something else I said, which I've tried to explain to you like 200 million times by now (or so it feels, LOL).
Wow, you got me to write a message in all caps
I'm not shy about speaking out...and when I get attacked, I tend to fight back.dude don't speak out against the status quo
I did Dave...but as I was already explaining above, lot of people do not feel comfortable with having their quotes shared on such public platform.
It's time for the segment of this thread called "derpytia gives her two cents worth!"
Have you forgotten that there may be people out there with new, catastrophic tinnitus just like you that is searching these forums for some sort of solace? What about those who are looking for a community of people with tinnitus to be a part of so they don't feel so alone with this condition? And what are they going to find?
I can only think that such fighting is the result of being struck with desperation borne out of dealing with your tinnitus in either an unhealthy way or alone for too long. And I get that. I really really do. But it DOESN'T EXCUSE this sort of behavior. It just doesn't.
Your suffering is valid! The moment someone invalidates you doesn't mean that the rest of the world has. Try to wrap your head around that! Tinnitus makes it easy for us to give into our brain's lies that we are alone and no one gives a crap about us. That is a LIE. There are plenty of people who don't care about us unhappy sufferers but there are also people who DO. Don't throw the care and support of those few people down the drain just because it feels like the odds are stacked against us. That is cheapening the support that we do have.
Before someone chimes in with a "derpytia doesn't understand our suffering" go find my "Success Story" in the Success Stories section of this forum. What I've written isn't anywhere close to being what you think it is.
If you have wronged or hurt someone in some way on this forum, please consider swallowing your pride and apologizing. Don't expect forgiveness (because no one is owed forgiveness just because they apologize) but be pleasantly surprised and thankful if it is extended to you. Likewise, if someone apologizes to you, consider letting your hurt and anger go and forgiving them so that you and they can move forward. Consider doing these things so that we as a COMMUNITY can move forward, no matter how much it hurts, and accomplish some wins for the team!
So many TT rules and netiquette have been broken here and I'm disappointed in it. We can do better. <3

All good here bro...
I know what you said...the way it was worded leaves no room for misinterpretation... unfortunately.That statement can be interpreted in two ways @Wolfears
It can mean that we're telling people "don't be afraid" - this is how you interpreted it, but not what I meant.
Or it can mean: "The aim of the guide is something other than telling people: "be afraid"" - This is what I meant. So we are neither telling people to be afraid nor telling them not to be afraid. We are simply not advising them on this topic altogether. They can make up their own minds about that based on objective information.
Anyway, this is like the 200 million + 1 time I tried to explain. Wow.
Bro - if there's gonna be a fight
....,er.....can I hold yer coat....?
All good Ed... bed time for me now.I apologise for my language but I acted out of sheer frustration. To see the efforts of others pulled apart so easily really touched a nerve tonight.
I apologise to anyone who took offence including you Wolfears. I'm not here to argue, but you was out of order and I couldn't help but post in defence of all the effort that's gone into the work here.
I did Dave...but as I was already explaining above, lot of people do not feel comfortable with having their quotes shared on such public platform.
This is a huge setback needless to say.
So far I'm still fairly busy at work, so haven't had time to re-think my next strategy.
Again I have nothing against you personally so don't take this the wrong way.
All good Ed... bed time for me now.
"Bloody 'ell
- will ye just look at these two gladiators,
- they've kissed and made up !!"
these things need to be said. on one hand I sorta understand the people that run the community forum to not be militant towards the ata and bta despite their extremely insulting white gloved and watered down advocacy efforts if you could even call them that, but on the other hand there could be much more attention given to the horrible affect tinnitus has on some of us. to be fair, the people that run this site are probably in a sort of difficult position, they know but they probably want to be professional and not burn bridges. I will at least say ed209 did post criticism of the ata that got them on the defensive regarding their tweet about the lady gaga movie. this is all just fucked. the sad part is that there may be a cure sitting in a cabinet somewhere right now.I'm out of this thread now, it's draining what little energy I have left nowadays.
Good night guys and gals.
To clarify Greg, is this a list of possible physical causes beyond hearing loss?I have read over 6000 highly professional articles and case studies on physical tinnitus where I have 1200 saved downloads.
In conclusion of my research almost all physical tinnitus associated to six areas. I have posted many links per each six areas.
1. Dental, Head, Face, Neck and Shoulder Connection.
A few easy to read links about this:
http://www.dentalwholebodyconnection.com/casereports.html
http://wholehealthdentalcenter.com/head-jaw-neck-back-pain/
http://www.icnr.com/cs/cs_50.html
2.Facial interactions to each physical tinnitus condition.
3. The cervical spine with all relations to somatic physical tinnitus.
4. Occipital nerve input. Nerve trauma. The brainstem with injury conditions.
5. Muscles that associate with each different somatic physical tinnitus condition.
Muscle imbalance.
6. Possible infection
If I wasn't in such pain, I would write a complete physical tinnitus handbook - guide with cause and treatment.
Again what are YOU doing outside this forum to help and try and make a difference?
Please explain to me. I know I could be doing so much more.
You do realise you will drive all the real advocates away with your constant complaining? Why should people bother to help when this is the shit they have to put up with.
