Cyber Friends...many hidden layers
KARLA-well said. I'm probably more "lenient" with PAUL than most of us, but I'm done...just worn out...spent way too much time and energy on his uselessness...BUT...when it comes to our FAMILY, I have to MAKE the time to step up...STEPH had the thread pulled before I had time to "talk" tp PAUL, but I PM'd him for his poor behavior..not he'll care...and I "reported" him...that I have alot of faith in that process..but it's protocal, so did it.
I wish I had HALF your style and grace!

We Can Do Hard Things
OMG - There was NO intention to make fun of this human's weight! The man is a troll and he's miserable and he wants everyone else to feel the same. And he knows he can't come out IRL anymore and being the disgusting person he is on this board, so he just does it here.
This was a positive place until we had this intrusion and then we had all the whiney sensitive crap along with it. Seems the train is about the only 'safe haven' to post or read anymore.
IF, if, a comment about someone's dress as opposed to his weight to someone so vile, is so disturbing then IRL there is going to be alot of hiding and being disturbed and upset by people who are living their lives and being HUMAN. Your feelings will continously be hurt and upset just stepping outside of your own home!
This is a message board, and what YOU do to get yourself out there IRL and take away from RL events is your responsibility. If you don't 'click' with folks at events, find out what part of it is not clicking. IRL, we don't talk weightloss, we talk and participate in LIFE.
So that leads to the very obvious revelation AND I will say ONE MORE TIME,
THE ONLY THING WE HAVE IN COMMON IS WLS, NOT SENSITIVITY FOR OTHERS AND NOT BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT.
I call passive aggressive BS on this one.

forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different
The reason Paul comes back under different names is to leave behind his post history so the newbies think he is being mistreated by the mean insensitive posters and garner the newbie's support and sympathy. Then he sits back and chuckles as he watches the newbies criticize the veterans for not being supportive and the veterans defend their positions - what a sick way to entertain yourself, huh? And that doesn't scratch the surface of who he is.
I am not criticizing your post, Kat - you just fell into his game like the others here. Just pointing out the game from a bystander position.
