Hi folks, one of the grim outcomes aimed at us low carbers by the antis is cognitive disorder, evidently unless we are carbed to the gills our brains will turn to mush. Quite ironic when excess sugar and starch is now being talked of in the same breath as Alzheimer's. Scurvy was another grim condition us low carbers were lined up for, despite most of us eating far more vegetables (non starchy) since adopting the low carb lifestyle. Anyway, my memory is as good as it's ever been, and it takes me back to when the flog was a shining beacon of sound information. Good information is still posted, but takes longer to find these days.
These days the flog has become a sort of cross between an elephants graveyard and the monkey house at the London Zoo. More akin to a respite home for the terminally ill to a dead poets society. People asking about the value of old cars to anyone know of other diabetes forums. The list of mindless posts goes ever upwards on a daily basis.
After reading the touchett posts yesterday and posting the Pseuds Corner post, the writer of said posts issued and 'Apologia' on the flog. Evidently the writer now realises most of the members are too thick to understand the poetic, and will in future revert to more basic prose.
So, the flog has gone downhill fast, so bad has it become, even Sid and Phoenix rarely show up these days. The Cherub and Nobhead flit about posting a line here and a like there, but even the old clique realise the place has gone to palookaville. The flog is controlled by the lowest common denominator, and believe me that is very low indeed. One thing cannot be denied, as a place of entertainment the forum has no equals, it's a laugh fest and one of the first places I head to in the morning. One thing is for sure, while the forum continues, there will never be a dull moment. What the average newly diagnosed diabetic must think when they join can only be surmised, but they must wonder, are most diabetics out to lunch.
