Removal Notice: Durian Rider
Update: Alright guys, not trying to kill conversation, but this thread has said all that needs or can be said. If you want to talk about this further, startup a new thread. Cheers!
This morning I chose to remove Durian Rider from GI2MR.
If you've been here for long, you know that we've had a few incidents with DR on GI2MR. If you ask DR rider about these incidents he'll say that we have something against 80-10-10.
That couldn't be further from the truth. I regularly recommend the online community 30 Bananas a Day (which DR and Freela started) to people who want more info on 80-10-10. In fact, when Freela was first setting up the 30 Bananas A Day community she asked me for advice on building communities and I gladly helped.
So this isn't some sort of "raw conspiracy" even though I have a feeling that DR will try to make it sound that way.
So what is this about? This is about being a nice, decent human being and respectful to others.
DR, especially in the last 2 weeks, has repeatedly attacked members of this community with his "80-10-10 or die" message. To spread what he is up to, he puts others down. That's his style and that's fine, but it doesn't work for us at Gi2MR anymore.
In his mind, DR thinks he is being "revolutionary" and "uncompromising", but his mentor, Dr Doug Graham, who is a friend of mine, would never act the way DR is acting. Putting others down to lift his message up.
As an example: In a recent posting about Anthony Anderson, the Raw model, durian wrote:
"look at that pic of anthony 'crying' with his 10k$ perfect white teeth.. poor anthony had to 'resort' to eating animal products cos he couldnt imagine victoria boutenko in a bathing suit.."
Ask yourself, "Would you want to be friends with this guy?"
Not me and not many others at GI2MR. So, DR, it's time to go.
Wish you the best of luck at 30BD. I love Freela and love what she is up to. If you want a new 80-10-10 roll model hit Freela up. Or hit up my buddy George Wiggins who is also eats 80-10-10 and is a deeply compassionate soul. Just email me and I'll introduce you to him.
For those that don't like the fact we've removed DR from this site, you are more than welcome to express your opinion here. We may not agree, but I will hear you out.

I definitely understand and agree with the ban, what bothers me though is that the taunting from other members isn't recognized as well. He's been active here for a long while, and I think there may be a connection to how other members treated him with the tone of his posts recently. Coming from the perspective of someone who doesn't agree with him (or follow 811) I still find the actions of many of the members here to be equally harmful to the board and the perception of visitors. Some of the comments, the attacks, the snideness, bullying... People here have used him as an excuse to diatribe against fruit, fruitarians, Graham, and 811. To me, that was more out of control than a member who, at worst, was immature and inappropriate.
Why it was ever acceptable for members to continually insinuate on this board, snidely, that there are mental issues with people that follow 811, that a lack of dietary fat makes people delusional, simply as a way to taunt DR and try to instigate fighting? Considering the purpose of this board, isn't allowing members to continuously, callously attack a diet (and by doing so attacking everyone following that diet) harmful to this forum and the community? From my view, DR actions provoked a ban, but he isn't the only one who deserved it.

I irrigate my nose with salt water after almost every shift. I use a little bit of salt with my toothpaste every now and again. My silver fillings are pretty stable and I've noticed a metallic taste in my mouth whenever I use salt so I don't. Clov...
