This has been a HUGE waste of time

Ivillage was recommended to me today, by someone at work. You see I'm trying to diet and could use a place to come on the internet on my limited free time. In my entire wasted lunch hour today ALL I've come across is post after post after post of foolishness which doesn't belong on ANY board....just "bump bump bump." So I'm thinking, others new to ivillage have waded through this garbage too and maybe some, unlike me, just don't speak up but merely go away.
I'm leaving. Have no intention of wading through such garbage on another lunch hour. But I recommend to ivillage that posters like melodyeve and her cohorts be removed from this board, and that some form of monitoring be in place in the future so that REASONABLE people who REALLY are interested in weight loss issues might use it.
et finis.

Before getting defensive put yourself in her shoes. She may be feeling down in the dumps because of a weight problem. If it was my first day here I'd never come back too.
Usually I read almost every post in a day but today I've only read a couple due to the nonsense here. It's alright to have fun but remember that someone may actually be needing to reach out not get criticized.
Sorry. Just my opinion.

You're right. That could (and I really wish it was) have been the case, but if she didn't like the board and thought it was not the right place for her to get the support she needed why did she take so much of her time insulting the posts that were here? Putting myself in her situation I would've just moved on. There are plenty of weight loss boards out there. She just sounded too much like the same person who slips in, throws around some insults and then slips out only to return with a different name. Plus, there were plenty of posts inviting her talk about her weight issue to which she only returned more insults. I say good riddance and if she really was having weight issues I hope she comes back because we love newbies around here!
