Hey, has anyone else here received the survey request from Ellis Godard, did
you do it, and is it legit? I meant to research his credentials, and forgot. I doubt I will do it, though. What about you? |

Yeah, over 300 photos of my son, many of them with me in it - that'd be hard to fake. Anyone with doubts may compare the photos of me at http://www.netspace.org/~ellis/noah to the photo of me on the Sociology Department website: http://www.csun.edu/sociology/faculty.htm#Godard P.S. Thanks for helping, AW! |

I will take Ellis Godard's survey
Ellis,
I will take your survey - if you still want me to... "Ellis Godard" wrote in message ... On Mon, 29 Mar 2004 07:30:54 +1000, "A&G&K" posted to misc.kids.pregnancy: I received it and he does seem to check out wrt to research in sociology and if his webpage about his child is fake, he's put a lot of work in.....

Anyone with doubts may compare the photos of me at http://www.netspace.org/~ellis/noah to the photo of me on the Sociology Department website: http://www.csun.edu/sociology/faculty.htm#Godard Ellis Godard's Ph.D. Dissertation is: "The Moral Order of Cyberspace: Social Structure and Conflict Management Online" (Donald Black, Chair) http://www.csun.edu/~egodard/CV-EllisGodard.pdf Since Prof. Donald Black is University Professor of the Social Sciences, he may teach in any department or school at the University of Virginia... I publicly asked Prof. Black to teach women at the University that OBs are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30% and gruesomely manipulating most babies' spines... No response yet - not even from Ellis. (Note: Prof. Black could at least teach the simple PROOF that OBs are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%; see below.) BEGIN Birth and Prof Black's 'pure sociology - no psychology or even people as such' http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2397 PREGNANT WOMEN: OBs are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30% by using semisitting and dorsal (woman-on-her-butt/back) delivery. LADIES: It's EASY to offer your baby the "extra" up to 30%... For simple instructions, see the very end of this post... UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR DONALD BLACK "Donald Black is the University Professor of the Social Sciences...[which]...entitles him to teach in any school or department of the University." http://www.virginia.edu/sociology/pe...ogy/dblack.htm OPEN LETTER (archived for global access at: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2397) Donald Black University Professor of the Social Sciences University of Virginia P.O. Box 400766, Cabell 532 Charlottesville, VA 22904 E-mail: Phone: (434) 924-7551 Fax: (434) 924-7028 Donald, USE your University Professor privileges to full advantage! Help babies! Teach PREGNANT WOMEN at University of Virginia what obstetricians will not tell them - that obstetricians are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30% (see PROOF below)... With birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%... OBs are pushing violently on tiny spines (with oxytocin, Cytotec and PGE2) and pulling gruesomely (with hands, forceps and vacuums)... Some babies are dying, some are getting paralyzed - but most are "only" suffering wrenched necks... Sometimes OBs pull so hard they rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords! ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal senselessly closed up to 30%. PREGNANT WOMEN: It's EASY to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. See the very end of this post for simple instructions. KEY POINT: Obstetricians aren't going to stop closing birth canals because stopping the obvious crime would be tantamout to admitting it. AT THE VERY LEAST, DONALD, please make sure pregnant women in **your own family** are aware that OBs are knowingly closing birth canals - and how easy it is for them to allow their birth canals to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. (Again, see the simple instructions at the very end of this post.) Thanks for reading, Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo PS (long) Donald, here is the simple PROOF (from The Merck Manual) that MDs and MBs are knowingly closing birth canals (up to 30% according to radiographic studies)... "When shoulder dystocia occurs...the mother's thighs are hyperflexed to increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet..." http://www.merck.com/mrkshared/mmanu...er253/253g.jsp WHY are OBs and CNMwives (nurse midwives) waiting until the head is out and shoulders get stuck before giving the baby maximum pelvic outlet diameter? WHY are we letting OBs and CNMwives force babies' heads through birth canals senselessly closed up to 30%? (An estimated 4.6% of "healthy" term babies suffer unexplained brain bleeds! And babies actually suffer DENTS in their skulls - "pingpong" skull fractures - though most of these dents/"pingpong" fractures pop out.) THE KICKER OBs and CNMwives are KEEPING birth canals closed when babies' shoulders get stuck! The Merck Manual method for increasing the diameter of the pelvic outlet - merely hyperflexing the mother's thighs - is BAD McRoberts maneuver - and BAD McRoberts maneuver does not roll the woman off her sacrum and therefore does NOT increase the diameter of the pelvic outlet! See ACOG birth crime video evidence http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2300 WMPI/JASON GARDOSI, MD Here are the simple grisly biomechanics of semisitting (and dorsal) delivery clearly stated by Jason Gardosi, MD, director of the British National Health Service/NHS West Midlands Perinatal Institute/WMPI... "...the weight of the mother is in part taken on the sacrum which is therefore pushed upwards, thus decreasing the antero-posterior diameter of the pelvic outlet..." http://www.wmpi.net/reviews/oe/oe_shoulder_dystocia.htm Incredibly, the just quoted WMPI site states the grisly biomechanics of semisitting but then RECOMMENDS semisitting delivery (closing the birth canal), as in, "The second stage...You might want to remain in bed with your back propped up with pillows...As you push, try to let yourself 'open up' below..." http://www.preg.info/book/chapter11.htm WMPI/Jason Gardosi, MD is advising women to close their birth canals, then saying: "As you push, try to let yourself 'open up' below..." (!) ON A POSITIVE NOTE: The WMPI site does recommend a version of GOOD McRoberts if the shoulders get stuck... http://www.wmpi.net/reviews/oe/oe_shoulder_dystocia.htm LAUGHABLE: Gardosi says of himself: "Developed new obstetric aid, the 'Birth Cushion', for studying squatting during the second stage of labour." http://www.obgyn.net/board/gardosi.htm In fact, no one squatted in Gardosi's 1989 Lancet "randomised controlled trial of squatting." (!) See Edgbaston (UK) birth fraud (and 'the birth cushion') http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2387 NOTE: At one time, WMPI/Jason Gardosi, MD and his British OB pal Malcolm Griffiths got me censored from an international obstetric listserv for protesting this bizarre obstetric behavior - but fortunately not before two of my articles got posted... See http://forums.obgyn.net/forums/ob-gy...9707/0128.html See also: http://forums.obgyn.net/ob-gyn-l/OBGYNL.9707/0153.html MY BEST GUESS (as to why MDs haven't yet stopped the massive obstetric crime)? Stopping it would be tantamount to admitting it. PARDONS IN ADVANCE FOR MDs... As usual, I am in favor of pardons in advance for MDs. MDs are just academic prime cuts forced through this culture's most powerful mental meatgrinder - medical school. Pardons in advance will allow MDs to keep doing their valid medical work, making money to pay the inevitable civil damages. BTW Donald, I found you because Ellis Godard, one of your PhD candidates, asked me to participate in a Cyberspace survey for his PhD dissertation. Ellis Godard's Ph.D. Dissertation: "The Moral Order of Cyberspace: Social Structure and Conflict Management Online" (Donald Black, Chair) http://www.csun.edu/~egodard/CV-EllisGodard.pdf ELLIS EXPLAINS VARIATIONS... I note that Ellis uses "the theory and explanatory strategy invented by Donald Black" to help explain variations in how Cyberspace participants "confront wrongs and express grievances...exert social control." http://www.csun.edu/~egodard/ResearchStatement.pdf Explain [it] how you (and Ellis) will, Donald... But this Cyberspace participant teaches (and learns) daily at Usenet University - confronts obstetric wrongs and expresses grievances online - and calls it a day... This Cyberspace participant groks the fact that it is difficult to "exert social control" over criminals who are powerful cultural authorities - hence the lame (but heartfelt) call for pardons in advance for these MD criminals... I will copy William N.P. Herbert, M.D. Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology Chair Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology University of Virginia Phone: (434) 924-9937 Fax: (434) 924-9180 Email: Hopefully this post will (quoting Ellis) "exert social control" over William and stimulate him to publicly urge his obstetric colleagues nationwide (including CNMwives) to stop closing birth canals. If William *doesn't* do this (I doubt he will for the reason given above), I hope that you will use your University Professor privilege and teach medical students that obstetricians are knowingly closing birth canals - and how easy it is for pregnant women to allow their birth canals to open the "extra" up to 30%. HEY! To help medical students understand, perhaps you could invoke your "pure sociology - no psychology or even people as such..." (?) http://www.virginia.edu/sociology/pe...ogy/dblack.htm Pure sociology must be powerful stuff! One last matter, Donald... PhD candidate Ellis and his wife Kristen wrote in their birth plan: "Second Stage Labor preferences...[We w]ould like support to try various labor positions, such as squatting and all-fours." http://www.netspace.org/~ellis/noah/BirthPlan.pdf Arrrgghhhh... Sorry to get E-motional but...why do couples have to ask obstetricians for support in assuming positions that allow the birth canal to open an "extra" up to 30%? I wonder why Ellis and Kristen didn't say in their birth plan that they want to try labor positions that don't close the birth canal up to 30%? Maybe Ellis - who has asked for my input - didn't learn from my teaching at Usenet University? : ) If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times (maybe literally!)... PREGNANT WOMEN: MDs and MBs are KNOWINGLY closing birth canals up to 30% by using dorsal and semisitting delivery. (See PROOF above.) It is EASY for you to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out - or deliver on hands-and-knees, kneeling, standing, squatting, etc. BEWARE though: Some MDs and MBs will let you "try" "alternative" delivery positions but will move you back to dorsal or semisitting (close your birth canal!) as you push your baby out! Talk to your MD or MB about this TODAY. MDs/MBs: If you must push or pull - and sometimes you must - first get the woman off her sacrum - off her back/butt. Thanks for reading, everyone. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo This Open Letter to University Professor Donald Black will be instantly archived for global access at: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2397) Within 24 hours it will be in the Google usenet archive. Search http://groups.google.com for "Birth and Prof Black's 'pure sociology - no psychology or even people as such'"END Birth and Prof Black's 'pure sociology - no psychology or even people as such' http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2397 Again Ellis, I will take your survey if you still want me to. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo |

posted to misc.kids.pregnancy: And for me, I thought it was spam simply because I didn't recognize the name. I regularly trash anything that the spam filters don't catch if the name is unrecognized. Simply posting to the ng would have avoided this problem. Ellis, if you're reading, consider it advice for the next time. :-) The advice is much appreciated. One of my concerns was that I am only able to survey a small number of participants. I did not want to leave out or confuse anyone who saw a public post but then did not receive the private email. At any rate, as I mentioned and others here have confirmed elsewhere, I am a doctoral candidate in the final month or so of my years of work towards a PhD. I would still be very interested in asking a few questons of some of you, to learn more about who participates in this newsgroup and to better understand interaction patterns here and in Usenet generally. Those who I contacted were selected because they posted a message during a randomly selected window of time. There are only about 18 questions, you may skip any of them, and all of your answers would remain confidential. I came to MKP initially for its topic matter. I have benefitted as a lurker on several threads here, learning about my wife's pregnancy and labor (see www.netspace.org/~ellis/noah/timeline.html). As a hubby with little knowledge, there isn't much I can give back to the group. One thing I can offer is to think and speak about it as a student of sociology. I appreciate any of you who can spare the time to help me do that. Regards, Ellis Godard |
