got deleted on another site

I post on another site occasionally. It is strickly a support site for children are caring for elderly family members , NOT medical in anyway. So one person did a thread about MIL who is in late 70s and is experiencing falls and obnoxious behavior. The person wrote at length about the behaviors and mentioned sort of incidentally that the MIL frequently had a few drinks when this happened. I went into nurse mode and said "have you ever considered the possiblity that your MIL might be an alcohol, it is more common than you think". The poster also said they had taken the MIL to doctor more than once and the doctor could not find anything wrong with her. I mentioned that they need to take note about how much alcohol was actually consumed and go back to the doctor and tell the doctor about it. My post was deleted as inappropriate. :uhoh21: I guess I forgot where I was, here those remarks would not even raise an eyebrow.

How sad is it when sound advice being given is deemed inappropriate by someone who hit the "panic" button! We should feel free to give opinion.. not post in fear of being reprimanded or being banned. I am so weary of watered downed, "let's all hug", responses. When someone posts a concern, I assume they want true responses. We are so concerned in our politically correct society, that we lose sight of our goals when networking.

Lol, I often make the mistake of thinking people are interested in ideas toward a solution and forget that many times all they want is to complain and get cyber hugs.

It is sad some would prefer ALL posts to be positive in the support rather then lean toward realistic. IMO it is much more supportive to help try to find the problem. *shrugs*

Did they know you are a nurse? If they had, maybe they would have seen your advice more as helpful than judgemental.
