 And yet once again, I'm wondering where you come by your qualifications to make things "right" around here.  My sister is having the RNY.....I don't think it's the best choice, but it's her decision, and now I KNOW she's well read about it all, I'm good with it.  It's her decision.  That's what most of the flag waving DSers are doing....making people informed.

Frankly, it's not up to YOU to make ANYTHING right.  I'll be honest.  When I first read how different ones responded to your posts....I was like DAMN!  WTH is she doing that they're on her like that.?  Then I read more posts where all you do is get stuff going and then back off like you're some kind of pious Mary Poppins of the forum board.  That's when I understood.  You're like that little tattle tale brat on the playground that EVERYONE wants to just beat the hell out of.  It's called BULLYING actually, in your saccharinely sweet Mary Poppins way.  You want to sit back and call everyone else out on stating THEIR opinions, but when someone calls you out on YOURS, it's somehow wrong and then it gets deleted.  I couldn't care less what you think of my opinion....I'm sure it's just not as important as you think yours is.

Those very people that you think are weak?  I'd really like to know how many lives they've saved, just by taking the time to respond to over opinionated arseholes such as yourself.

You just posted a quote by another person telling you to define yourself and not to accept another's definition of your life. Do you not see the irony?

Are you filming a Life of Brian sequel?

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.

Hilarious.

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 always consider the source when it comes to evaluating opinions.

I see you are still here trying to force your 'opinions' on people.

There are hundreds of us that think the quality of the Main Board is just fine and really does not need YOU to clean things up here.

No one is being forced to accept my opinion, I am simply stating it, that is all.

I am not forced to accept your or anyone else's opinion, either, no matter how you or another express it or how forceful you or another attempt to be.

My whole point is for tolerating all sorts of opinions in an adult and thoughtful way, and not making posts be about the person stating his or her message. Attacking the person is in my opinion immature and irrelevent and weak, and says more about the person doing the attacking than it does the recipient.

I know many many people who have been upset by the quality of the Main Board and won't go near it. You should read what people post on the other forums. My surgeon and his office staff warn about OH in general, and that is sad because it's not all of OH.

I am doing perfectly fine, thanks for your I'm sure heartfelt concern.

And I am simply stating my opinion.

In my opinion it is not up to you to decide who is immature, irrelevent or weak.
In my opinion calling someone those things is an attack on said person(s).
In my opinion, it is not up to you to decide what is an adult and thoughful post. 


I am doing perfectly fine, thanks for your I'm sure heartfelt concern.

Oh my, was that 'adult sarcasm'? Are you projecting feelings?  or assuming that I was not heartfelt in my opinion that you need help?

Sure it's up to me to decide all those things- for me.

I agree with you that calling someone immature, irrelevent or weak is an attack on said person. But that's not what I said. I said attacking the person is immature, irrelevent and weak.

The Main Board should be safe for all kinds of opinions without personal attack- and that includes yours.
