Tia ????

I'm sorry, haven't been around these parts for a loooooong time.  Who exactly are you????

Yes, SOSUREOF ME, please DO tell us who you are!!!  You posted on the Sex Board in an attempt to stir up trouble - are you doing the same here?

Very interesting!!!  Are you also the person who sent me some PM's, trying to cause problems between Jon and me?

Man up!  Show yourself and tell me exactly what your beef is with me!

Tia

Think it's time for some Troll Spray!!

Ummm...thanks, but that was for you!!

And now you've told me EXACTLY who you are!!!!  If I hadn't already figured it out, your horrendous spelling - it's THEIR, not THERE, you total moron - gave it away!!!!

MUAH!

Or maybe you could just disappear and allow this board to become what it once was - a great source of support for anybody that needed it.  I don't know, nor do I really care, who you are or what your exact beef is with Tia, but I do know this much - Tia had been a very supportive individual for dozens of folks around here for a very long time.  It was people like she, Aaron, Heather, Darla, Nicole, Cira and many others that made the Maryland board one of the most active and supportive boards on all of Obesity Help.

If you have a problem with Tia, try sending her a personal message and hashing things out.  If that's not possible, then how about respecting the others from the Maryland area that need the support but don't want the drama that you're bringing with you.  If you feel that strongly in your opinion and are not embarassed by your stance, then why create a troll account to hide your true identity?  Be a man/woman and stand up for what you believe in.  Never mind, that would just create more drama.  Maybe my initial idea was better after all, just disappear so we could attempt to bring back the regulars and get this board to where it once was.  I, for one, am back for good.  Tia, I invite you back and need your help to start bringing back the old timers crew.  Next step - the exercise thread!!!

I totally agree with Andy we need you guys back here,,,Screw the Trolls!

Stephanie, does it really matter?  It's obvious some of you have an issue with Tia.  I'm not saying you have to let bygones be bygones.  But, it would make the board a lot more enjoyable.  If burying the hatchet isn't feasable, how about those that can't stand each other's guts just ignore one another?  Seems simple enough.  If we can get some of the oldheads back on board, as well as enticing some of the lurkers to become regular contributors, there will be enough threads going on to comment on and enough people to help out.  After all, that is the reason ObesityHelp was created in the first place.

Andy, I agree the board is for support and as I said in another post if I annoy people then don't read my posts and reply. I wish people were honest and if you don't like what someone writes keep it to yourself why spread gossip and rumors. . Mind your own business ! Take care of your own journey and try to help someone who may be just starting or stuck.  I am sure many here don't have to agree with what each other post. That is what makes us all different and makes us who we are. I have been so done with the crap. It does not get to me anymore. I just know how hurtful it was when I found out. Of all places to have this knowing that as overweight people we have be made fun of judged and had hurtful thing said and done to us. You would think that the members here would think about that before hurting each other. Julie

Not every person likes every other person.  People are going to talk about one another.  It's human nature and those that say they NEVER speak ill of others are lying through their teeth.  There were a lot of lies told and there was a lot of feeding of the drama by certain people. 

You know what?  There are quite a few people that are friends with Tia, received and continue to receive awesome support from her.  There are others on the board who have been the same to someone else but not necessarily to me, for example.  Who is anyone else to say if someone else is successful or unsuccessful in their weight loss journey.  For someone else to SAY that someone is unsuccessful without knowing the full story, or without knowing what that person's goals are/were, is really judgemental and can be very hurtful.  That's not support now is it...particularly from people who claim that all they've been are supportive.  Of course some of those people who are guilty of this won't even see this post as they've got me blocked...yeah, that's supportive and non-judgemental, huh?!

You know what people?  This all happened several months ago and some people just cannot let it go!  Yeah, it killed the board.  It looks like some people are making the effort to liven it up again.  Unfortunatley, you're not going to get the same people back here...it was just too much.  They've moved on as should everyone else.

Take care,
Heather
