A reminder to everyone:

Our goal is to provide a location for a warts and all discussion of Hep C in general and DAA treatment.

To allow that to occur the moderators allow reasonable expression of people’s thoughts and feelings on the subject without intervening but expect that you refrain from threats, goading, incitement and personal invective against your fellow members.

Thank you all in advance for adhering to these principles.

Speaking as a member of this forum, I am here to help spread the knowledge of DAAs, whether they be generic or branded, as a means of defeating the HCV pandemic.

I also think it is important for those of us who have already sought treatment to share our experiences and provide support and knowledge to those who are considering treatment or just starting out.

There is also an important role for those of us who wish to advocate for changes to the present system that restricts availability of these medications to the great majority of the 180 million people worldwide with HCV.

At the same time there will be opponents who will be seeking to denigrate our efforts and would no doubt relish the opportunity to quote us as advocating violence and other inappropriate or illegal methods. Please don’t allow them that opportunity, there are much better arguments that can be presented to refute claims by those who are attempting to protect their own or their employers interests at the expense others.

This is a widely read and respected forum with an international audience seeking our knowledge and guidance. Please take all of these factors into consideration prior to clicking on the submit button when posting here.

Nicely put beaches,
We have no way of knowing, at least I don’t, if anything was said to A.L., concerning his volatile and condescending remarks. Personally, I was offended at the brash way he responded to the ladies on here as well. After championing the woman who represented Big Pharma in the video interview, he proceeded to treat the woman here very disrespectfully, none of it warranted and seemingly with impunity. While I differ with GF on the choice of response, I’m puzzled …

The moderators are under no obligation to make public the reasons for their actions or decisions, however this thread has been moderated twice up until now. Once to note that the moderator saw an escalating range of issues that started to include a number of participants and request EVERYONE to abide by the terms of use of this site and the second time to remove a direct non compliance with that moderator request while leaving the argument accompanying it intact.

Should members feel that either the moderation or content on this site is inappropriate, untimely or insufficient then there is a ‘report to moderator’ button on the bottom right of each post which sends a message to all Moderators and Administrators or alternatively they can PM other Moderators or Administrators with their concerns.

I have just deleted a post from this thread. Continued attempts to ignore moderator requests will result in the thread being locked.
