I also had to start limiting my time on this forum. Most people are awesome on here and abide by the forum guidelines asking questions and sharing their experiences. But there is one very active person in this forum who touts himself as the expert and their comments regularly spill over into medical advice. If you’ve spent much time here, you will know who this is. He’s been reported to the moderator by more than one person yet he remains. I had to limit my time here because it doesn’t feel like a safe space. In other forums like on Reddit, which can be the Wild West, people will actively call out such behavior.

@happydappy In my opinion, there are several Cyberbullies on this and other sites devoted to prostate cancer. People can make excuses for their behavior, such as they are frustrated, trying to help, passionate, etc. I find their behavior to be abhorrent and harmful. I seldom come to this site anymore because of them. I much appreciate the forums where posts are screened before being allowed to appear. This is not about free speech, it's about protecting the majority of responsible people from the hurtful and harmful behavior of others on a non-governmental health forum.
