You'd have to understand their history of posting. They're unkind and heartless. They, or IT as we believe, have hurt many good people on this board and deserve more than the people here could POSSIBLY dole out.

Welcome to the board, and I hope IT doesn't make YOU the next target of it's deliberate cruelty.

Thank you for the welcome however I don't think I want to be a part of this unfriendly board . It just looks like 2 people against the rest of you and I'm not sure which category I will fall into .


Might I ask what a "troll" is and why does it smell like one ?

Yeah,you can sort of pick them out when they post something out of the blue,have no profile listed,and don't intro. themselves.

Assuming that you really are new here and are sincere, I can assure you that this is a wonderful, warm, supportive forum. I am new here myself, having only posted for a few weeks, and I already feel very much like part of a circle of friends. A "troll" is internet slang for a person who posts on a message board only to stir up trouble - someone who makes nasty comments, puts people down, etc. (It comes from the fishing term, where a fisher just drags a line through the water hoping for a bite) We have one here, who keeps coming back and posting under new user names. This person posts very few messages of support and rarely joins in "conversations" - however she/he is distinct for posting answers back to itself, pretending to agree with some outrageous opinion. Hence, you suddenly showing up and offering support for them sounds like it MIGHT just be the same person all over again. If you are NOT, then I apologize...but here is an example of our "troll". Today she basically posted that she hopes the husband of a regular poster here gets killed in Iraq...and then she went back and edited/changed the post to something far more neutral before it could be reported. Also, we have a board member here who has lots over NINETY pounds, and this poster told her that she is a failure because she "should" be able to lose 15 pounds a month. Now, clearly, you will agree that these comments have no place whatsoever on a support board (and in fact violate the Terms of Service that every memeber agrees to), showing this poster to NOT be the kind, nice person you assume her/him to be. If you wish to become a sincere member of this board, sharing your weight loss journey with us, I can assure you that you will be welcomed with open arms.
