Salem Witch Hunt ????

  Salem witch trials were not run by the most intelligent of people.  Of course in that day and age I am sure they were doing the best of their ability, but they were not educated about the matter to help them make a better decision.   Some of you folks are acting like a herd of sheep...no independent thought..just following the herd along  . "  Yeah Yeah, what she said. You should report this person to OH."  The ones of you who are replying to these posts are clueless to what the real situation is and you would be shocked if you did know..   Know the facts before you thoughtlessly post a response to something you don't even know what you are responding to..  Look back at the person's previous posts and compare them to the posts of the other person's who is being UNNAMELY persecuted.  Then make a somewhat educated interpretation on what is going on here.. Watch out for manipulation tactics... One person who found out the entire truth apologized to me and said she felt horrible.     To the person who is trying to slander me...Let's look at the facts.  What have you done?  You claim," Oh I am a good person"..No you are not, you are a bitter jealous person who will say things to hurt people to get to where you want to be because you are unhappy...and what your point is, is beyond me. You say you don't gossip...So why are you doing it on here? And why are you stalking new people now?  Looking up phone numbers and calling them at all hours of the night like you did me? You have stated in your own posts your business.  What you have accused me of is HEARSAY...inadmissible in court..which the judge would find your case laughable anyhow.  Remember you called me at 3 am with all your issues??? Your calling at such an inappropriate time woke my entire family up.  Then you even called back closer to 4 am.  Yes, my service keeps phone records.  I had to have calls logged by our phone company when my teenager was not making the smartest of decisions.   Remember you told me about what you did at PNH to get another prescription? Now how would I know that information if it didn't come from the horse's mouth? You claim I violated your privacy rights...yeah right. You are grasping at straws here because of "your issues" that you have posted about on here also. If you don't want someone to know something..don't tell them !!!  I didn't ask you to tell me your business..nor am I your private duty nurse...AND I was not even employed there when you had your surgery.  I was hired 6 months later !!!  So STOP making false accusations because you are not happy with the outcome of your surgery.  Many people have to have revisions..me being one of them.  I don't think you would have been happy if the surgery came out perfect for some reason.   Remember the old adage, " Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear?  Maybe we should all take that in consideration here.  Remember the experiment in school where the first person in line is told something and by the time it gets to the 24th person it is completely the opposite of what was said by the teacher to the first person?  There is some logic and scientific basis to that experiment.     You stated you could have bought a wheelchair for your son instead of having your surgery.  MY GOD don't you think the wheelchair should have come first?  Any prudent parent would have..  You made your choice and now you are bitter about it.  Stop projecting that anger towards me.   If people don't think that they are being discussed in a social circle, then they are sadly mistaken.  You can call it gossip or idle chit chat, you can call it whatever you want ...but people are being discussed..everyday and everywhere. Everyone does it. Everyone at your work place, everyone who meets in person on here, a group of friends, at church, families, classmates...  Hey, if you don't,  then you are a one in a million; but I bet if you took a true look at yourself you would see that you have been guilty of it at one point or another. It is just life. The ones who are posting to these misconstrued posts are even MORE than guilty of it.. Don't throw stones from a glass house.  You have been drawn into something that you are not even fully cognitive of.   Did I say something about someone that I wish I wouldn't have?  YES ..and I am very sorry for that.  Has everyone been guilty of that?  I am sure.    Was what I said  surely twisted to all hell because this person had a personal motive to fuel a fire to get at me?  I would most likely say yes....... I have an email to prove it.   Have feelings been hurt, friendships ruined because of this person's manipulation?  Yes Has she hurt innocent people just to get some attention for herself?  Yes   This person has a personal vendetta against me because I am happy with my surgeries, have a good job with the same surgeon now, (whom she has slandered all over the forum) and I am living a happy content life.  You sent an email to someone saying you thought I was throwing it in your face that I had good results from surgery and you didn't. That is your own paranoia.  I don't even think about you..sorry to bust your bubble. I just didn't  jump on your bandwagon to start persecuting the plastic surgeon with you..and that has gotten your goat. You were out to get him since the day you came home, screaming lawsuit. Hey..that isn't HIPPA violation..that is in your posts !!!  You try to sue everyone...Remember what you told me about trying to sue the school board?  Please......   I told you I was sorry you were not settled with your results....But why slam a good surgeon when he did nothing wrong?  Cleft palate and burn victims have numerous revisions..and they still don't look 100%.  Plastic surgery is to help correct and is not a fix all.  People have to have realistic expectations.  What I wrote in my personal OH journal was my experience and I REFUSE to be on a bandwagon to sabotage someone like you did him and are trying to do me.  It is so laughable how you are trying to get an entourage.  Do you think it really effects me?  You need help.  You cannot by law, continue to harass me.   Also, what I wrote in my personal journal on OH was stalked continuously by this person and comments were made in sheer ugliness since December. I encourage everyone to look back at this person's old post to see it for themselves.  Ignoring her hasn't made her go away AT ALL.  It has made it worse.  I have received numerous hang up calls with this person's name on my caller ID and harassment at work to the point where "further action" is having to be taken there..  Her claims have no basis and if she is stating she will be bringing litigation in, I / we say bring it on.   I have done NOTHING unethical at all and not worried a bit.   I have had to make my OH profile private due to the continuous BS.  I don't have the time or desire for this mess. The people who I am personal friends with on here have known this has been going on for a while.  Actually, one clued me in about an ugly post she wrote that OH pulled because it was inappropriate.  I am just not on OH like I use to be.  I am almost a year and a half out and enjoying the benefits of losing the 103% of my excess body weight. Life has been good to me. That's why we all have had this surgery. So to sit here and persecute each other and to get into this high school BS is NOTHING I will have in my life and something you guys shouldn't have in yours either.  All this is petty and NOT supportive of the cause of this support group.   Anyhow...just some food for thought here...maybe to enlighten some of you that have been clueless to the matter.   Instead of this nonsense, people who are regulars on here should be directing their energy on the people who need it and are seeking it on the forum....Something useful, positive, and productive.   It is time to refocus and move onward and upward.  The Salem Witch Hunts ended a long time ago....       Peace out...   Dana

I am so glad you called today !!! And as always I enjoyed our talks . Dana,. it takes a bigger person to admit she or he was wrong , then it is to continue the malice . I for one have been subject to the same type of actions and know too well what you are going through . However , I had not said or did any of the things I was accused of ...  I know in my heart you mean well and have great intentions . I know first hand how you have helped me through a lot of what I have been going through , and I cannot thank you enough .  It is apparent in all of the past post , dating way back ... that the story is just not what it seems . I for one am so glad that you posted this . Everyone needs support .. but if you have no clue or are just party to one side .. sometimes it is just best left alone .  Have we all not suffered enough as Obese people ... >>>??? Yes , you have spoken up on some things in my corner that where not jumping on my band wagon , but merely expressing the way you feel .. you told the truth .. and sometimes the truth hurts ...  In this case .. I think the witch hunt has gone on long enough .You have said your apologies .. and that should be it .. we are all human .. we all make mistakes ... but to send you to the cross is a bit much ...  I admire you for your strength in all of this .. I admire your courage to go through all you have with your entire journey .. you have always been there for me ...  And yes .. for those reading .. I have shared a lot of my medical history with Dana .. nothing that most of you do not already know . It is always good to talk to an educated , well trained nurse sometimes .. And Dana happens to be my go to nurse .. and I thank her for that ...  Do not be so hard on her .. she has always had everyone's best interest at hand .. but what she does not need is to be stalked and persecuted ...  If you do not know ... let it go I say ...  Just my take on things ..  Dana .. I too look forward to coming down soon and both of us having fun in the Sun ... !!  Love ya ...  Tink
