What I like is how clever "they" think they are. It's great ahhh, this board gives me a good laugh =)

Another lurker here. My name is Lillie and I have been lurking around this board for approximately three or four weeks. I'm 38 years old, married, with three kids. I work part-time. My starting weight was 287, my goal weight is 135. I've been on a diet of my own making for the past seven months and have lost 32 lbs so far. I have really enjoyed the positive posts of the regular board members. You are the definition of the word "support". Thanks for the insights, info, and laughs.

Are you the board monitor? What was your reason for attacking me? I don't know whether it will get you "banned" as you say, but it just got you reported (by me).

To answer you, as if that should be answered (which it really shouldn't).

1. Arrogant, you hardly know me well enough to say I'm arrogant. A thinking human being, yes, but arrogant...no.

2. Supportive, it depends on what you mean by supportive. Since this post was *sign in* that's what it did....as there was nothing to support, but merely a request that everyone clear themselves with the OP (bizarre request) before posting. Go figure.

3. Yes, I have some things to say about the Atkins plan. But I do know about it, and that's why I have *those* things to say about it. Sorry, there isn't anything positive to say about a plan which killed its creator, or helped to at least.

4. Unwilling to reveal anything about myself? What's that all about? And what makes you feel that YOU are entitled to any personal information about any other person. Well, you're not. Talk about arrogant! That was a pretty arrogant presumption of you.

And I'll give it a 5 (to sum up, rather than summing your post up). As I understand it, your post seems to break TOS and therefore, to sum it up, I'm reporting it this morning. Have a good day.

Since you're such a fan of giving unsolicated advice and criticism, you should appreciate greatly what I'm about to say to you. Even though it will probably get pulled and get me banned, you deserve this post for all the crap you've thrown around lately!

Here is the impression you give off:

1. * You're arrogant *

You're extremely rude. You have poor "people skills". It is almost comical that you hold yourself in such high esteem.

2. * Your posts are in no way supportive *

It is hard to fathom why you would spend time on a support board when you act as if you don't need any support and you go out of your way not to give any.

3. * You have a great deal to say about the Atkins plan but you know little about it*

This is curious because your opinions on the plan are so similar to another problematic poster I came across in the archives for this board when I cross-checked against "Atkins". By the way, she was also arrogant and unsupportive.

4. * You seem unwilling to reveal anything personal about yourself *

Well, anything beyond your personal opinion that is. Your actually ruffled by a post inviting (not ordering) lurkers to stop in and post a "Hi".

Let's sum this up:

You treat the regular posters on this board with disdain, you don't share personal information, you don't offer support, and you're "anti" almost everything.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

Could it be that your life isn't all you'd like it to be? Are you actually better at "talking the talk" than you are at "walking the walk"? Maybe you're a very overweight, bitter individual just trying to bring others down instead of trying to fix your own faults? Who knows, who cares. What really matters is that you understand that the only person you're fooling is yourself. You're not capable of breaking the spirit of the wonderful and supportive members of this board. They will out shine you everytime.
