That's a moderator in her pocket? I figured she was just happy to see me. 
once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Nahhh...not threatening anyone. Just stating a fact. So sick and tired of people who hold themselves up as if they are better than others. Frankly, it just comes through as BULL**** to someone like me. Didn't I read somwhere about using this stuff for some kind of research? Well, I'm definitely the one to research and have a STACK of mental papers to go along with it. I guess my bi polar is showing it's ass again today....

Whining about whiners? Uhhh...nope don't think so. Look through all the posts about how someone has hurt someone's poor little feelings with their HONEST opinions. Tact is subjective. I've seen some be very outspoken, and I've also seen some goody two shoes forum police called to the carpet when the situation warranted it.I've said somewhere before, that this is a LIFE ALTERING surgery. Even LIFE THREATENING. If people want their asses powdered, well....there's plenty on here that will do just that. On the other hand, if someone wants to know what they will face, and know the flippin TRUTH about something, then give me a snarky ass flag waving DSer asshole any damn day of the week, rather than a FORUM COP who goes around snitching on every little thing she disagrees with. In my woods, snitches get dealt with....take that however you like.
I rarely respond to ANY of YOUR posts in particular AnneGG, because most of your posts aren't helpful in the LEAST. You're always willing to jump in when YOU think someone is doing something wrong, and somehow you have gotten the mistaken opinion that YOU are the forum QUEEN BEE, who has the ability to tell people what to say and what not to, and if you don't like it, you report it. You call THAT adult behavior? Really? I think maybe YOU need to utilize the BLOCK button instead of the SNITCH button.
You know...some people have a deep and pathological need to be "heroes" with "adoring followers."
It's a TRULY pathological situation and the needy followers are only half as pathological as the would-be leader, desperate to form a little army of people who worship him/her. THAT'S healthy...not.

Why does it seem that certain members are so militant over their surgery choice? We have new and old people here for support and catty and snarky comments are not helpful. If someone has done the research, made their decision and are excited about their future.. who are you to force your decision, and your surgery and your life down their throat? Being so pushy that you possibly snuff out their happiness or joy in their decision and choice? Noone should do that to another WLS post-op or candidate.I thought we were here to support each other, not have a freakin my surgery is better than your surgery smack down every chance we get.
We all got here cause of the same issues, we are all here with the same goal, we all just arent using the same tool.
Sorry just tired of it.........not gonna be hanging out on this board much....not as supportive as most of the others.
I know of plenty of posts aimed at pre-ops that inform them about your choices. I honestly can't think of any decent motivation for opposing that, so if you do, you might want to get a handle on your sanity.
I don't read everything that gets posted here, but I do not know of any post or series of posts started with the aim of telling a post-op that "you made a bad decision, so nyah nyah nyah". You should either point those posts out for the rest of us, or else ask the moderators to remove yours if in fact you are making this up.
I think people who feel weak about their own position are the ones who will make it about the person they don't agree with, and go on the attack. Then they will seek agreement with each other about how awful/pathological/unbalanced/etc., etc., that person is, and will do anything to avoid the subject at hand, which is the quality of the Main Board and their responsiblity for that.
I think it's both funny and sad that some of you think it actually matters to me what you think of me for trying to do what I can to clean things up here.
I always consider the source when it comes to evaluating opinions.
