named and shamed!!

User friendly PP??? - Rest in peace Kriss!!!

Proof of PP's loss of direction and dysfunction in their support mechanism, was a man called Kriss. Kriss was described as "a typical all American Collegiate sports hero ", every guy wanted to be him and females, with him!!!

He excelled in most sports, a model athletic specimen, life was always great for him, with so many admiring supporters, looking to associate with his time. Kriss came on PP, in a quite horrendous state, so much so, he informed us, that he had just tried to end his life, fortunately however, the trigger jammed.. Three of us tried desperately to get him to talk to us, without success, so we tried all we knew, to try and bring him round.

It turned out, his mind, was virtually frying, he had been on 60mgs Paxil and couldn't bare life anymore, such were the severity of his symptoms. His wife had left him with their kids and he had lost his job, all he had left, was one special friend, who was standing by him.

As mentioned, several of us on PP, did all we could, there was absolutely no attempt whatsoever by those at the helm, to involve themselves. In fact, after Kriss had been successful in ending, what was a tragic end to his life, language used by those in command, was so cold, totally bereft of understanding and respect, that it caused a realisation that something was inherently wrong with PP supportive, advisory model. We were virtually lambasted for, what appeared to be, one person's view, that we were attention seeking.. As far as Beam Me Up was concerned, the dye was cast and our cards were marked!!!

When Kriss's great friend posted, after his demise, thanking those who had tried to save him, I think it didn't go down well with "she, that must be obeyed"!!!

A period followed, where I was blatantly obvious that whatever advice we offered, to needy users, was poo pooed by a small, but poisonous section within controlling influence, at PP. This was a shocking chain of events, that ended with 3 of us being banned, for standing up for our principles. Needless to say, Darcy Baston, would never have conducted himself in such fashion, he would have been exemplary in his actions and, led from the front... Certainly, Kriss didn't deserve to be treated by those in control, in a manner that must have come across, as disrespectful in the extreme and, apathetic.. Truly disgusting..

So, I ask members of PP, how do you feel? Are you 100% sure, that the support/ advice you receive, by that small, but well known notorious minority, is firstly genuine and certainly well meant???

Forums should measure their own effectiveness, call it, customer service standards, when things get to the point, where no-one can question those in command, it's time to seriously consider, what the heck is going on... No doubting at all, PP's user friendly standards, have deteriorated beyond recognition. Brainwashed is a term, I would use, for a site, that is supposed to be ridding users of their own medical induced version of it. They don't deserve a double whammy, by being asked to adhere to narrow, undemocratic behaviour, which constrains there true, emerging selves.
