Okay,

I've been coming to this form now for about three or four years.  When I first came to the Ark board, there was only two of us posting.  So, I've seen it when it was zero and when it has movement.  Here is the deal, I lurk and don't have time to post.  I, too, am blunt and I, too, curse like a sailor.  So, does that mean when I do write a post, it is going to be critiqued to death?  I don't know.  I don't like the tone of what is going on.  It feels a lot like some people are ganging up on one person simply because they don't like the tone of the message or the words she chooses to use.  My thoughts, if ***** bothers you, don't read it. 

Just my two cents.

Hey Jeannie, Another "old timer' here.  Yep, the board has been too quiet for too long and now the fertilizer ha**** the blender and  everyone has an opinion.  I agree that it seems that people are ganging up on one person and while some may have taken offense, the bottom line is this:  If you're offended by someone's comments are you just as offensive by posting your comments to them personally on the public board??  If you have an issue with some one in particular, send them a PM and tell them so. Why humiliate someone to the point of tears??  I'm sorry, but how can you say your a God fearing person and then humiliate someone?  Doesn't make sense to me at all, but this is just my opinion. I'm sure I'll get blasted too, As far as one poster commented, I'm sorry if you don't like what people post about our personal lives. If you have been around here long enough you'd know that we've been together through thick and thin(no pun intended) and many, many health issues as well as personal ones.  Sometimes the people here are all we have.   I haven't lived in AR very long and don't have any friends other than at work.  You guys are my friends and quasi family and if we want to chat about our days, so be it.   Again, if you have an issue with someone, please send them a PM and keep it private. People make mistakes and slip up once in a while. Be the better person and let it go. Ok, I've got to go to work, but I"ll put on my fire proof panties before I leave.  I'm sure I'll need them by the time I get home tonight.

Susan,  you're right.  I did the wrong thing by posting on the board instead of PMing Wendy.  It never crossed my mind to do that, that was my  bad.  I didn't intend to humiliate her though. I don't apologize for what I said, it came from the heart with the intention of making her aware that she was being offensive, but I am sorry that I didn't think to just PM her first.  I have always been an impulsive person, and it has gotten me in trouble quite a few times....I should have just left it alone until this morning and I probably wouldn't have said anything about it at all.  But hindsight in 20/20 and I can't change that.  I am a God fearing person....but I'm also human, therefore I make mistakes.  I'll PM Wendy and maybe get this thing resolved before anyone else gets hurt.  I hate this...I didn't want to be one of "those" people that are on so many other boards, they're the reason I don't go to the other boards.  No need for the fire proof panties from me....where would you find those btw?

i was ganged up on because I call my trainer a gym natzi and I intentionally mispelled it because I dont seriuosly compare him to HITLER!!!!!!!! I am very educated and a yankee and I speak what I want. If the poster who commented about my breasts being called TWINS........has an issue....dont read my posts!!!!!!!!! I am super excited about my implants and super excited about my trainer who has helped me more in 8 weeks than anyone else. I got my implants to correct a problem and I am proud. If it makes you umcomfortable....maybe your uptight. Plastic surgery is one of those things that come with our weightloss. One of the boards I went to recently had posts about bowel movements and farting.....I chose not to read those posts and went on. This place reminds me of 8th grade sometimes. Of course those of you who I do talk to know I am not directing this to you, but what gives a lurker the right to say anything.....they never post.  I got slammed once because I am a yankee and posting on here....well DUH....I live here in arkansas.... Wendy fou.........dont stop posting i cuss like a sailor and say what I feel. It may offend some. To Sophiegirl or whatever...you mentioned going to the lap forum.........BYE.  Thats my opinion and opinions are like ******** we all have one and they all stink. Lightswitch said it best, DeniseG, i understand how that post made you feel, and to all the others who may have been offended by Wendys post or mine. I am sorry.

I must commend Wendy......girl you got the board hopping now...lol

take care and pm me

Me too. Missed it. Then again I would fit into the "you don't post here so you don't have a right to say" kind of thing. I just haven't found my place on this board yet. In all honesty, I thought the original post was going to be about you, AB. I'm still looking for my place and am becoming a better participant on boards so maybe you all will hear from me soon! AB could probably vouch for me that I cuss a little too much.

ha! yea she cracks me up. Every time I read her posts I know who she's trash talkin. Wrinkles, schminkles. That's what plastic surgery is for!!!!! Besides, I like white trash from Arkansas. It's not white trash here, though. We call them "family". So I'm cracking myself up over here and BTW, that was a joke, I don't have any family here. My inlaws live here, but they'd kick your @$$, that is if they could figure out which double vision to hit...they are rednecks my friends. Proud rednecks. Enough about them, though.
