Feelings hurt

I have received numerous email from this people on this MB stating that I should never have posted "The Courage To Be Myself" Post yesterday. That by doing so I was bashing WLS. All I can say is HUH?!?! I am in the process myself of crawling across broken glass just to get my initial surgical consultation. And I get the feeling that those that sent the emails never even actually read the post, just read the title, because there are no replies posted. If someone doesn't agree with something that I post, then by all means, email me and tell me so. But, please, at least READ the post first. Blessed Be! Sherry

Sherry, you got emails from people on the IA board that were bashing you? I know this happens on the main board, but I have never seen it happen here. I am very sorry you have had to go through this. This (the IA board) is one of the few places I feel that I can really be myself and post what I am really feeling, and or thinking. I won't ask for names or anything, but I will find if there is a way to report this to someone. It is totally unacceptable and I for one will not put up with it. I bet there are many others that ffeel the same. You post whatever you want (within reason! lol you know what I mean) and try to ignore the bashers. I enjoy reading your posts and hope to see more of them. (((HUGS))) Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth! You are very kind! I do not want to give names either; I don't want it to turn into what is happening on the Main MB ( ) But thank you for the kind words and you have a wonderful evening, O.K.? Blessed Be! Sherry

Sherry, I read the post and I personaly think it was great there are alot of good and true things said... You know you have every right to post what you want on the board and it sounds to me like the person writing you nasty notes has issues that they need to deal with ....let it be their issue ... and please dont let it detour you on posting in the future....

Sherry, I think that this whole weight loss surgery is a journey to change your life. Everyone goes through the journey in their own way but I won't judge anyone's way of coping with the changes that are happening to them. I feel we should each be able to put on this board how we are feeling or something that is important to us. You did that with your courage statement I can't see the problem. If someone is talking about something I'm not interested in or don't agree with I just go to the next post. Keep on posting and ignore any attempts to make you feel bad. Ann

Hi Sherry, I can't believe people would think your message was anything other than exceptional. I liked it alot and really hit home to me to finally allow myself to be myself for me and to hell what others think. But ya know what Sherry, there are so many people who just don't have a fricken' clue how to look at a message or a letter or poem and see the good it is meant to be but insist your out to bash the whole world, well all I can say is PEOPLE GET A CLUE, open your mind not close it. People have a right to not like what we post, this is true, but we or rather I have the right to post what I want to post as well, and yup you can email me till the cows come home but I will speak up for what I believe in and if others don't like it well, let me know but don't bash me, call me names or be just plain cruel about it, be an adult and lets talk it threw, that's how I feel, and Sherry don't let a few simple minded people stop you from saying or posting what you want cause you know what, the bottom line is if they don't like it then don't read it. I thought it was awesome.I'm sure I'm going to get some negative emails from this post as well but bring it on, it's your right~~~~~Tina
