Never too late to weigh in...lol
Ok, we have clearly established two things. One is that there are a lot of people out there who keep up with what is going on on this board whether they post or not. Two, those people who keep up have established a sort of "communication tree" where they get in touch with the people that haven't been here in a while to come back and post. I am in the latter category as one who hasn't been reading the board even for at least a year, but was contacted when this latest thing "broke out."
Ok, now I am faced with why did I bother to come and post. I am thinking at the moment because I am not very bright. I should have just kept to my silence and own business and not said anything. However, I am not good at that.
I guess I came back to try to be a voice of reason among people who have been severely hurt and are not likely to get over it anyway soon. It is not helping anyone to be so angry with a person who is not rational in their actions or emotional state. You do not have to like everyone on this board to respect others. I would imagine that there are those who each of us like more than others. There are those that I am sure have had their feelings hurt either intentionally or unintentionally over situations that have occurred here. I do not know any group of people who have been together as long as some of us have that haven't step on someone's toes unintentionally. Basically those are just the breaks of having any kind of a relationship. ONe on this board is no different than any other relationship.
Do I think some people have been intentionally mean? Of course, I think there are people who are not emotionally mature, who are not mentally stable, and who are very childish and who have posted from time to time. I just hope that I have controlled my quirks well enough that I have offended as few of people as possible. I am not always the paragon of maturity and I know that several of you are not either. As far as discussing all of this as Christians, Christ was perfect....none of us are....so we are going to do some pretty unChristian things out of our own weaknesses and challenges.
And folks we are all old enough to know that we can block people and not read what they write if it bothers us. We don't have to listen to them. Some people are always going to talk behind your back. Some people are always going to put you down. Some people are always going to tell things that are not true about you. Just because some people do it or say it, it doesn't mean that they know what they are talking about. We need to hang together and remind each other that we are really very strong and pretty wonderful human beings. I think the picture destruction and some other stuff that went on was terrible and the acts of an unstable and mentally ill person. I am sorry for the victims of that person's illness. However, don't let her mental condition create emotional problems for you, because that allows her power she doesn't have over you. You always have the power to rise above what people are saying or doing to you. Some of you find that power in God, some of you find that in others...the lucky ones find it both places.
It is never too late to weigh in and to speak positively for all of us. WE have taken a stand against injustices that have waged against us when were were obese and we have won. We need to keep our eyes on our weight goals and on our life goals and not be distracted by these demons. We all have demons, we defeat them with love, light, and laughter. The best revenge for any injustice is to live well.....I wish you love, laughter, light, and a good life. What a wonderful way to start off the Christmas season.
