I think you've done the same thing, on several occasions. When people have pointed this out, it's never addressed. If I have done this, I am sorry, but there's a difference between something that's implied and reading too much into something.
"I think these constant attacks on Forte, and on me for that matter....get a little ridiculous."
I think the constant attacks on other people are ridiculous as well.
"if you find something "against the rules" then just report it instead of making a big ta-da out of every little thing"
I think that's good advice, and would be a better idea than resurrecting this discussion that's been a bit of a hellbreeze at times.
I don't believe you've ever posted that you're wheelchair bound, and I assure you furry would NOT have been picking on you for that. Furry does NOT post only to launch attacks, and I hope you have a chance to read her thoughtful and compassionate responses to many people. Her name is appropriate- she loves cats! She's a lovely person, and I think perhaps some people prefer to believe we're all pathetic lowlifes rather than acknowledge the humanity because it would make it harder to say some of the things that have been said.
And I DO NOT EVER attack anyone for being overweight. When I post out of anger it's not because the person is overweight, it is because they have demonstrated some sort of social ineptitude and said something callous or hurtful. I don't care how much a person weighs, if their attitude stinks I call them on the attitude, not their weight. Nor do I belittle anyone else's efforts by telling them how easy it is and inferring that they are somehow less because they struggle.
I won't address anything about Dr. Phil. The man irritates me, and I don't watch daytime TV so I never catch his show.
If you want a truce, that's fine. The stress of this board already keeps me from posting for bits at a time and I'd like it to be a safer place. If you want the same thing, wonderful! But if you want these observations of yours to be acted on, I would find it appropriate for you to do the same.
I hope your mouth feels better. Oral surgery sucks. I have my last wisdom tooth needing to be pulled and I am just dreading it.
Well, some of us work in the afternoons.
"One woman, who was obese BTW,"
What does her weight have to do with anything?
"said she had a 'hobby' of tearing people down 'for the fun of it.' They showed a clip, and it kinda reminded me of some of the regulars here who seem to go around the board attacking Forte for no apparent reason."
LOL. I'm glad Forte has a friend like you. She needs one.
"Anyway, since I've already told you ALL that I'm handicapped, wheelchair bound in fact...."
You've never posted anything about being disabled. I searched the board for "wheelchair," "handicapped," and "disabled," and guess what I found? Just what I'd suspected--that you hadn't talked about it before.
"He pointed out the underlying hostility is really a mark of low self-esteem which causes her to have to level others, to bring others down to her level."
Riiiight. And I guess that applies to all the people (your buddy Forte, hippolytes, others who have come and gone) who've attacked Shawna, Karrie, Sayrubh02, et al. for no reason at all.
"And it's curious that the people HERE (forte, myself, hypolytes ) who get attacked ALL seem to be more successful at their diets than the people attacking them are."
Oh, don't assume things, Astri. Forte, hippolytes, and even you don't post your stats, so we honestly have no idea whether you've lost any weight at all. And further, there are lots of women here who have been very successful at losing weight (like Shawna) who, rather than receiving praise and congratulations for their success, are accused of being jealous! Wishful thinking, m'dear. I myself have been quite successful at losing weight, and I think you, Forte, and hippolytes are full of crap, abusive, and mean-spirited. My dislike of y'all ain't jealousy, sweetheart. You've EARNED it by attacking some of the nicest people on the board for no reason. I guess if I'd watched Dr. Phil yesterday, I might realize that you, Forte, and hippolytes are actually jealous, immature, and have low self-esteem.
"I think the reason you, some of you that is, have to attack people for talking about ENJOYING the cooking network...."
No, we just think it's funny that we're being told the secret to weight loss is to sit on our butts and watch a couple of hours of television every day. To each her own. Like I wrote before, I'd much rather be at the gym, burning off 600 calories in a session, than be at home learning how to shave 100 calories off a meal I'll never have the time to make.
"Doesn't someone like watchthefurfly (or like yourself, for that matter melody) realize that every time you attack a person for being fat (even if they are no longer fat) what you're really doing (if we look at your weight stats you give) is attacking yourself. It's not self love."
Pot.
Kettle.
Black.
(Oh, the irony.)

if you dont mind me asking, astri, why are you wheelchair bound?
And Gothratty? What say you?
Please, feel free to point it out! What exactly is positive about their snide, passive agressive posts? Where has anyone received any positive feedback, with the exception of an occasional generic 'congratulations' ?
I think you may have missed a few posts. I am thinking most specifically of the ones about my husband's military status, and they were neither helpful, full of advice, appropriate, nor in the slightest bit reasonable. I refuse to repost the trash on here because it is DONE, but if you'd like to read them I will email them to you- original and edited- and you can see for yourself how much advice and help were contained in them.
no thank you I've already read them :)
go back and re-read some posts ... I'm sure you'll find several ;)
