Oh, why do I bother answering ignorant posters?!?

OMG! I get so fed up with posts like the one by Gramsey on the second page of this thread on the main board: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/a,messageboard/board_id,4856/cat_id,4456/topic_id,3 506497/action,replies/page,2/#27472009 I mean what can you say anyway? I'm giving this person a bit of flack because they're fairly new but, sheesh, how is the post helpful? It doesn't even follow the thread! Lori P.S. Have I said how much I LOVE this board because I wouldn't want to go to the lap band forum and scare people away or make some of the alternate personalities (is that a nice way of saying crazy?) come out to the main board and post...

I don't know why you bother, but you sure do a good job!!

Well thank you so much!

You're trying to help! I know the feeling!~

Surprisingly, I haven't been targeted on the main board for much more than "why didn't you have DS". One of these days, though...

You did a great job on that post! Some people are just stupid. They don't bother looking at the research and just listen to stupidity instead. That's one of the reasons I like it so much on the island...

I can't help but wonder who is really spreading this junk. The only doctor I'm aware of is Dr. Rutledge but I don't know if that is where people are getting their "experience".

Wow...ignorance is here to stay. You did great. I wouldnt have been so diplomatic..but diplomatic is your middle name.

Actually, my middle name is Susanne, lol. I hardly ever get to say it or use it so I'll take it when I can. I was going to be harsher but, when I realized the poster was new, I figured we're either looking at a troll or someone who just doesn't understand the volatile nature of the board... Thanks for the compliment, though...

You did a gret job of responding to this. I applaud your articulate and well thought out response!
