south asians need to be more aware of the registry, and being committed donors…

that is all.

forget the tone, ramblings, or the other extraneous stuff you may have to read.
just get to the meat of the matter. the meat here is bone marrow. the matter is that it saves lives.

Unless you’re A N N A, you really wouldn’t know, would you?

The post was pulled because I couldn’t monitor and verify all of the things which were being added as “information for donors” in the thread, wrt malaria, countries visited etc. I didn’t think it was responsible to leave it up. I also vehemently felt like trolling on that (or THIS) thread was extra evil considering the gravity of the situation. People who claimed to speak for Vinay turned out to not have anything to do with him. That’s awful. The best thing to do was remove the post.

We all take care of our own posts, if we can’t, we close them. This is a life or death matter. I felt responsible for the potential misinformation.

It may have rubbed you the wrong way, but Vinay, his wife and his friends are fine with what I wrote. So sorry to disappoint you– you must have had the biggest hate-rection ever when you thought you could smugly criticize me for something so awful.

No it doesn’t matter…much like A N N A’s copious posts on this board!

Shame on you, for using a thread like this to snipe at me. Your need to insult me is pathetic and inappropriate, especially in this specific space. My email address is public. Take your anonymous, “dick” commentary there, if you can bear the lack of attention such private communication provides. I mean, how terrible of me to GUILT people in to trying to help save someone’s life. What is wrong with you? Miss the entire point much?

Sorry for being a di*k about this. The tone of that whole post rubbed me SO the wrong way.

NO.

the bottom line is, those who are serious about bone marrow match/donations should DO IT and register.

Well, A N N A’s mouth started working before her brain. And when the brain caught up, she decided to pull the post.
