Bfg, I'm glad you are utilizing the chat to help others - that's fantastic. But please do not be so offended that others are using the chat to socialize, it is also another reason we have the chat open. Nothing in the chatroom broke rules, so I have to assume that your comments about wanting to ban people are more a reaction to getting your feelings hurt by people not showing than by anything that was actually said.
Everyone is here to help, it's really great that you want to do that. But don't be offended if people don't treat you like a guru - that's not the purpose of this board. Everyone has something to contribute to this board, absolutely everyone, even those who didn't show up to chat this evening.

Bfg definatly has the right to be as upset as he wants. And my statement about your feelings, bfg, getting hurt was made because in your post in which you said you needed a cooling off period, your feelings sounded quite hurt. Maybe I was wrong about that - my apologies for trying to respond to your feelings instead of your arroguance.
And yes, this is an acne based forum - but we do have an off topic forum (the Lounge, available to veteran members, which with your time and post count, I'd imagine you are able to access) and the chat. If you are offended at people using the off topic forums to discuss non-acne related things, I suggest you stay out of those venues.
You aren't the first hot shot to come in here and to try and start a revolution and you won't be the last. Long after all the others have gone or else gotten off their high horse, this board and it's members who are trying to live while treating their acne go on.
You guess I where what, Bfg? Call me childish, but I didn't understand the statement....
I've been reading this thread from the first page. Your regimen sounds interesting, but I must admit that I'm put off by the fact that you keep making disrespectful comments regarding Dan's Regimen. This is HIS site after all. He purchased it and set it up and maintains it. He is allowing you to keep this thread open. The least you could do is remain respectful towards him. Making comments about how he shut down your first thread b/c it was so popular, or the fact that YOUR regimen makes Dan's regimen a joke, makes you seem petty and small. Dan is a pretty cool guy considering that he set up this free forum for people to talk and share information about acne...which is a pretty horrible thing in most of our lives. He is well spoken, well educated and pretty generous considering what it costs him to maintain this site so we can all use it for free.
It's also a little weird that you pretty much had a tantrum b/c people didn't show up to your chat session. If you are going to get so upset that you "need time to cool off", then perhaps this is too much pressure for you. You are not a doctor. You are a guy who has had some success with a series of steps. Which is great...but keep some perspective. If you want to help people, good...do that. But don't act like people should be hanging on your every word.
relax.
Most of the people in the chat were talking nonsense. Stuff about there genitals and what not... Just disgusting things that most definitely didn't relate to acne. Basically it was just a room filled with immature 12yr olds. But to me, that was to be expected, this isn't a board that would consist of a very mature demographic.
So the bottom line is we're going to need to use a different chat room, which Bfg is working on.
And, thank you again Bfg, you were very helpful to me when we initiated a private chat.
If Bfg helped someone with their cystic acne, that's actually a really good thing. That's what this board is for. But getting upset because people weren't, as Cambell put it, hanging onto his every word, is not. Maybe PM's would work better for you, Bfg, one where you could save a draft of popular FAQ's for your regimen, that way those who are interested can have nearly instant communication with you and you won't have to bother with off topic banter?
Yes, folks, chat gets a little off topic sometimes. Contrary to popular belief, those who have acne also have lives beyond acne and occasionally want to share that with others. Thus was born our off topic forums.

Oh, Groupthink has not begun yet. We're still waiting on the previous group currently hanging out, "Messiah's Anonymous" to exit the room before we begin.
And bfg, you joined years before I did. You quit posting for almost five years, however. If you're going to pull rank, let's at least be consistent, darling.
Yes, your regimen works for you. Yes, you want to share it with others. But do you have to be such a dick about it is what I am asking? Do you have to put others down in order to promote YOUR regimen?
That's exactly what you are doing and that's exactly what's upset me.

So why are you insulting other people because they aren't interested in your regimen? Why do you have to call people childish because they didn't show up for the chat session? Why are you responding to those who are saying "I'm glad it works, but I'm doing something else" with such meanness?
If you've been here for that long, you know how this place works and you know that touting yourself as the only one who knows how to run this site doesn't work.
I notice all these people who have never posted in this thread before are Acne.org clique members, what with their lil quote sigs....but that has absolutely no bearing on the fact that bfg's regimen works and has worked.
My acne started to come back after Accutane and because I found this regimen I won't have to waste my time on another course if it continues. Even though my skin gets a bit dry, it's clear and I have bfg to thank for that.
So as much as you all want to get negative, bfg has produced positive results and whether or not you like the way he talks or gets his point across -- it doesn't change that fact.
Let see elsewhere you join in 10-March 05
I join in 21-October 02. My previous username went back more then that.
So in about 2 years time you became a senior member and a moderator quite impressive I might add. I guess you earn your knee pads. See if you find that kind of talk objectionable then thats what is going on in your own little chat session. The lounge should still maintain a suitable cleanness to it especially considering its a acne base site. You hair color must be getting to you not to be getting the statement I guess you where elsewhere. This is the same crap I have put up with past moderators. The last revolution was stop by this forum this is a brand new one. I'm working on a new site so you dont have to worry about trying to stop the revolution it will continue on a new site. The only hot shot is you going around telling people how they feel. Stop making excuses like ever mod in the past has.
