For those readers and/or posters who are familiar with me, I am sad to announce that my second name ~ twoheartstohold ~ has been barred from posting at the LPBW site. In an attempt to post just moments ago, I received a response stating the latter written fact.
I see many familiar posters have lessened their activities here, but on the flip side, I do see many new (or recently chosen to post) ‘names’ adding their comments to this board. Maybe some ‘newbies’
have knowledge of my ‘novel’ size posts, assuming they’ve been reading the board longer than they’ve been posting. Bottom line, both this name and my other banned name, will cease to post at this board after my final submissions today. Maybe today’s threads will be deleted, too, as a handful of others have been closed or removed completely.
I ramble. I find it heart breaking that my attempt to make the BIG world a bit smaller for younger LP in developing a website for them to interact as well as meet others who are/may be similar.
True, the LPBW forum may not have been the appropriate platform for my attempt to launch such a site. I did not read the Terms of Agreement – as maybe I should have. Oh well, I’m where I am now and there’s no going back.
I intend to bow out gracefully, but not without speaking my peace. The premise of LPBW was to show the BIG WORLD how little people “are just like everyone else” and they can do everything “just in a different way”. Granted, that statement applies to the fortunate little people who stand four feet and taller, have little or no health issues that stand in their way, have no learning disabilities, and are developmentally capable of creative thought, attending college, and living a full life. I’m not saying any particular ‘little person’ did not have health related challenges at one stage in his/her life, but ongoing, 24/7, chronic health matters that requires one to continually be followed by a plethora of specialists – who may or may not have answers – are major crosses to bear and compromise daily living without end.
Bottom line, little people are little – that’s a given, but LPs are one slice of a huge pie of, I’ll try to say this in a manner not to offend, minorities who deal with “challenges” and misunderstanding of their given plight by the greater population.
Lastly, my barred attempt to reach out in to the BIG world on behalf of my undiagnosed, very unique and special – friendless daughters was not allowed by a message board about Little People – with a Forum titled: Life of Little People: Share Your Experiences Here – with not even a communicated reason or basis for doing so. So, my interactions and postings here will cease as a result. My little, little person daughters and I will continue our isolated, swept under the rug, existence away from what appeared to be a supportive forum for persons and families like ours. Farewell fellow Board Members.
Keep on keepin' on mod_ivy.
