Where is Noel7?

Irshgrl31201 — Sun, 20 May 2018 02:57:50 GMT

I haven't been on here as much as I used to be but I haven't seen Noel. I know she had health problems and was wondering if anyone knew how she was doing? TIA!

@Irshgrl31201. Unfortunately she was banned. Her daughter came on and told everyone.

Wait a minute! Noel17 banned? She is so thoughtful and kind and sensitive. It must be a mistake.

I have been missing her also. I knew she was not well but figured she would be back by now!

Oh. That is disappointing and perplexing.

Then there are those of us who feel a deep void that she was banned here.

Noel is a wife, mother and a clinical psychologist who added much to this board. She never deserved to be banned from here. It is a travesty as far as I am concerned.

Not sure what being a wife, mother, and her occupation have to do with her being banned. I believe her rudeness, disrespect, and narrow mindedness played into the decision. Always having to be right is an ugly trait.

I didn't always agree with Noel, but I never found her to be disagreeable..

I really liked her a lot ,and always found her helpful, and kind ,despite how ill she was

She suffered a lot with her disease. I hope her daughter sees this thread ,and tells her mother how much I miss her

Yet here you are expressing how right you are.

Noel had character, warmth and intelligence. She wasn't someone who dealt with emotion rather she was interested in facts. Some found that intimidating.

She insulted people regularly.

Agree that Noel7 is a very passionate, caring and intelligent person. However, if you are honest, you will acknowledge that most of this was extended only to those who did not disagree with her positions on controversial subjects.

To those who disagreed, she was often condescending and insulting. If she was ever challenged and shown to be wrong, she would deny that she ever said what was challenged and then claim the person "couldn't read and comprehend" or something.

I, personally, was on the receiving end of her continuing insults. My favorite was when she insisted that I was hostile to college education (which was not remotely close to the point I was making - that vocational school can also be valuble) because I "didn't go to college" myself and was "jealous." This is not only untrue, but not even related to actually refuting the point I was making. It is not necessary to demean someone to argue. If you don't like an argument - make a better one.

I'm surprised to hear that she is a clinical psychologist. I wouldn't think it would be particularly effective to tell a client who might be balking at her advice that the client is stupid and unable to comprehend.

Despite all that, I am sorry she is banned. I never reported her, but obviously someone who had enough of her insults did.

I would be happy to see her return - if she could simply debate her points without namecalling.

I certainly didn't agree with her on global warming, and she never insulted me

She just told me I would figure it out

I did agree, that we need to clean up our enviroment, I just don't know if it will make a difference..she never attacked me, nor did any of the liberals

I am in the middle, and I try to get along with everyone, the best that I can

A few years back I got into a conversation with Noel regarding marijuana. I was strictly against it and she explained a lot to me without any malice or trying to insult me. She taught me a great deal here and had much to give. Silencing her voice was so unfair especially since I continuously see posts from posters here that are extremely rude and offensive. Yet they continue to post.

Me too cherry. "The middle" feels like a lonely place when discussing 'current events' these days.

They usually only ban someone for a couple of days so to be totally banned she must have done something horrendous.

This could be incorrect but I thought she was a psych nurse not a psychologist.

No, she posted recently that she was a clinical psychologist. She generally didn't post anything about her profession. It was the first and last time I ever saw her post that private information.

Thats not true @151949 I was banned permanttly and GloriaJean emailed them asking why

I was busy caring for my injured husband and couldnt be bothered

They threatened to ban her for asking, about me

They did look into it ,and emailed me, inviting me back ,telling me it was all a mistake

They don't have any idea why I was banned, nor do I

I feel bad about this. A couple of years ago, they had a sort of amnesty for banned posters and invited them back. Wish they would do that again.

Greeneyedlady21 — Sun, 20 May 2018 16:15:11 GMT

I miss her. And I agree completely with @Trinity11 about others here who are rude on a regular basis and continue to post. Don't understand.

Re: Where is Noel7?

skuggles — Sun, 20 May 2018 16:22:00 GMT

I don't understand how talking about her without her here to defend herself is OK sith moderators, unless it is being orchestrated by her, one or many. She was here daily, so if in fact she was banned she is still reading when she can I would presume. I mean who and what is this call out thread for? Truthfully.
