Introduction
Alzheimer’s (AHLZ-high-merz) disease is a progressive brain disorder that gradually destroys a person's memory and ability to learn, reason, make judgments, communicate and carry out daily activities. As Alzheimer’s progresses, individuals may also experience changes in personality and behavior, such as anxiety, suspiciousness or agitation, as well as delusions or hallucinations.
There are now more than 5 million people in the United States living with Alzheimer’s disease. This number includes 4.9 million people over the age of 65 and between 200,000 and 500,000 people under age 65 with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s, new treatments are on the horizon as a result of accelerating insight into the biology of the disease. Research has also shown that effective care and support can improve quality of life for individuals and their caregivers over the course of the disease from diagnosis to the end of life.

Dementia
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, a group of conditions that all gradually destroy brain cells and lead to progressive decline in mental function. Vascular dementia, another common form, results from reduced blood flow to the brain’s nerve cells. In some cases, Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia can occur together in a condition called "mixed dementia." Other causes of dementia include frontotemporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Parkinson’s disease. See Related Diseases for more information.

Sid,
Show Sarge a little respect.
If I upset anybody with the bird flip, I apologize. This stuff is just getting old.
I was going to stay out of "this ban" but I am tired of hearing it. I have been here a few months, read a whole hell of alot of posts, and have came to my own conclusion that BPP is not the type of person I want to associate with on a forum. Hex, It is up to you wether or not my vote should count, but I believe BPP is here only when he feels like starting an arguement. If that is what he is going to contribute, I say ban him. I apologize if I offend anyone with this vote.
sid, I'm genuinely sorry you've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. With the treatments they have today, they can considerably slow the process down and I hope the doctors are acting accordingly.
I've also heard that they've been dumping a lot of money into finding a cure due to how many people contract this disease every year. They wouldn't be surprised if one came available in the next 5 years.
I have to agree. While I'm sorry you have Alzheimer's, this doesn't excuse your behavior.Quote:

I see a repeating theme here... bill gets a bug up his ass for someone, he gathers support from his base (that's you stupid), and he attacks over and over, resting only long enough to regroup his sycophants. He keeps attacking, whining, and throwing hissy fits untill he gets what he wants.
So, you and bills other jock straps just keep on blowing crap way out of proportion, after all, blowing things is what you do best.
I know more about it than you sid, that's for damned sure you putz.Quote:

It's followed my the breakdown on the nervous system that eventually kills the person with it. She has called her nursing staff things I apologized to them for. The next instant she is calling them honey and sweety.
By the way my dad shows signs of it. If in fact he has it I stand a 50% chance of getting it... According to the docs I've talked to about it.
It does start showing signs in people as young as 40...I've seen it. My aunt is in a ward that is made for people with it. In my conversations with staff it can have an early onset.
Yep...I'm in law enforcment. I deal with people that have had a bad day every day. Do I let em off the hook...Hell no. I lock em up and let the courts decide what's best. Sometimes they let em go to treatment or they sentance em to jail...Kinda like what is going on here.
I think Sid is in his mid 50's...Not late 40s.
Yep, he's back to his old self.Quote:

And I am not referring to any particular person or group here. If you want to hold to a standard you need to define one better than you have. If anything can go, anything will go, including the members setting the standards that you should be setting. If that's what you want this board to be, then you shouldn't be making statements like the one in your last post, and you shouldn't make promises off line that you can't or won't uphold. Consensus is all fine and good, but when a consensus can't be reached somebody needs to step in and make a decision. That's the piece that's missing here.
I agree, action will be taken very soon. I'm in the process of matching things up in the logs right now....Quote:

I think you need to pay attention to where this poll is going, Hex - there is a pretty substantial group of senior members of this board voting to ban sid. I think that's a pretty significant consensus and a pretty strong message...Quote:

Now, explain to me why you are wetting your pants to support someone who said...Quote:
i never said i hate demonrats.....i hate the left-wing Jew demonrats (such as Dianne Feinstein (aka unleavenedscumbag).....and i approve of this message.....
i never said i hate demonrats.....i hate the left-wing Mexican demonrats (such as Joe Baca (aka burritoeaterbaca).....and i approve of this message.....
i never said i hate demonrats.....i hate the left-wing Black demonrats (such as al sharpton (aka tawanabrawleyspimp).....and i approve of this message.....
Don't kid yourself thinking nothing would happen. If someone posted any of the above three things they would be gone before the sunset. Just ask Manix.Quote:
i never said i hate repugs.....i hate the right-wing Christian repugs (such as shrub (aka shitstaingeorge).....and i approve of this message.....
Now, how many of you can spell hypocrite?
I don't really care what situation has happened in the past with Bill, Sid and George and even though I am sorry for your condition it does not excuse the behaviour Sid. Many members have come forward stating a distaste for the video you posted and you had every oppurtunity to come forward and make things right. I personally have nothing against you and whether or not Chris or anyone really finds the video offensive the fact of the matter is that it is a video that makes fun of both christians and homosexuals depending on the point of view of the person watching it. Cut and dry in the rules we will not have that type of thing here. If you are allowed to stay a bad precident is being set.
This is a place I come to talk about cigars not to be ridiculed about my religious beliefs or political leanings, You and Barry have done both on a much grander scale than Bill.
Not that anyone really listens to me around here, but I think all of this banning crap and arguing over the computer is FUCKING GAY. Anyone that seriously gets their panties in a bunch over this stuff needs to remove the sand from their vagina and move on.
Unless someone is seriously getting threatened I see no problem. Otherwise don't reply to the threads and they will die out. I'm going to smoke.
Definitely asslickers, every last one.Quote:

A simple I'm sorry for posting that if it offended anyone and I will take it down would have probably sufficed, as it is his silence on the matter has done more harm than good.Quote:

Cigarsmokers.com is a friendly community of like minded brothers of the leaf. This is not the place to express derogatory views or remarks. Members making any statements based on race, religion, culture or sexuality are subject to being banned.
I see where this is going. I'm sorry to see such devisivness on the board. It almost appears that there are people coming out of the woodwork for this poll also. What ever the majority decides, I'll respect. Although, It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Sid,
Once again, you need to show Sarge more respect.
P.S. Once again, If I offended anyone with my bird flip. I'm sorry.:smiley6:
Respectfully
dickson
Just giving you a friendly suggestion Barry. As I told you in a PM I sent you a ways back, I respect your intelligence and accomplishments and really wish you'd contribute here in a positive manner.Quote:

sid will NEVER apologize for his wrong behavior, and it sure looks like barry's only interest is spreading hate and causing trouble which is very unfortunate.
Yeah, I'm the problem here and sid and barry should stay........:smiley29:
It seems there are two sides to every issue. But lets move on.

Plus, he lies. One senior member pm'd me and during the back and forth, told me that Sid said I threatened him in PM. I have never threatened Sid ina PM, he's lying, and that makes him a liar.

Of course he's being his usual barry self - blaming Bill (and his group of "asslickers") for all of the woes of this board... :smiley3:
But it's not a conspiracy - bigbirdie didn't tell anyone to come over here and vote one way or the other :smiley36:
Divisive? You think this is divisive? You betcha it's divisive... And now it's becoming ever clearer WHY there is divisiveness... :smiley43:
I was wondering the same thing.Quote:
