This is to EVERYONE on this board, friends, detractors, etc.  This board is for support.  I don't know and I don't care what started all this stuff on the board again this week as I have had my own personal issues going on and haven't been around much. 

Just stop okay?  It's the INTERNET, for God's sake, people!!!  If you don't like something someone has to say, read it, delete it, but DON'T feel like you HAVE to post.  I don't even WANT clarification as to these ISSUES.  All I know is that I've made some very good friends, some pretty nasty enemies and that's that.  Life goes on.

My suggestion, again to friends AND detractors -  if you don't like someone and don't want to constantly have to deal with seeing them on the board, regardless of the subject of any of their posts or threads - BLOCK them.  I love this feature!!!!  Until this past July, I'd NEVER blocked a single person, but find that now, it's very handy.

STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!!!  I had my share of previous drama, I accepted my role AND I apologized for it.  I'm so beyond that and have done my part to rid myself of negative individuals by using the BLOCK feature. 

More than anyone else, I've tried really hard since joining the Maryland Board to make it interesting and informative to all.  Trust me, coming up with family friendly, non-offensive topics is sometimes difficult, which is why I sometimes rely on some old standbys.   I can't help it if we can't all get along - we're not going to, and that's cool - but it is INCREDIBLY stupid to let this consume us.  Don't we all have better things to do????

Once again, I BEG of you to just ignore those you don't like, go to another board if that's your choice, or just lurk and don't post.  Do NOT let this board become like others.  Feel free to share your private feelings via emails or pm's, but the venom spewing on this board NEEDS to stop. 

Let's get back to the business of supporting ANYONE interested in wls - pre-ops, post-ops and non-ops.

Yeah what Tia said you go girl. This board has picked my ass up on more than one occasion and dusted it off for me and told me to suck it up and keep moving. I am not on here to watch people fight I left an AOL chatroom that I was in for over 5 years for that type of dumb chit. I don't know who's fighting who but let's all do what we do on this sight including me and that is to help and praise people for their weightloss journey, And like Forrest Gump said " and thats all I have to say about that ".

I can only second what Tia posted and pray that people will realize that we are all on here
for support.  We have a lot of different people in our family and we are dysfunctional at times
but we need each other ... so please Drop this subject and lets try to get along.
I have made some close friends from this board and hate the fact  that things
like this happen at times ;  but as the holidays approach lets remember to  be
THANKFUL FOR EACHOTHER;  and if someones post offend you- use the block
feature.   I think it will be a useful tool for all of us from time to time.

I don't know what the history is for this post, but the venom and arguments and debate should all be sent to the no-holds Rants and Raves forum.  If there is a thread that is objectional, you can report the thread and OH will move it there.  That allows the support forums to remain what they were designed for.
Be careful, or you may find yourself in my novel...
