I'm going to step outside the box here...the difference in the two situations is one you were ignored or stigmatized(sp?) because of your physical looks...the other situation was because of something you actually said or did, according to your own words....

 In reading your posts over time, it occurs to me that you enjoy making inflammatory statements just to see how people will react.  Did you put yourself on the outside because you said something offensive to this person and now they simply don't want you around?  I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't think the situation with the fellow WLS people compares to being the fat kid on the bus.  They are putting their books, coats, lunchboxes, etc.... on the seats next to them because of something you said, not because of how you look.

A lot of people ignore you in OH because they have blocked you and just don't want to deal with some of your threads that you post. You need to be more kinder and caring for others. Words hurt and  you can't take them back. OH is for support especially the Main Board. Some of the stuff you post should go to the Rants and Rave board. I read stuff on that board but never post, it doesn't serve a purpose except to ridicule and be mean to others. Yeah, I'm a Pollyanna type person, will give you tons of support and be your biggest cheerleader! I don't like mean people but I certainly won't take peoples BS and be taken advantage of. You have burned alot of bridges with alot of people. Look into yourself and really see what type of person you are and what type of person you can be. Life is too short we are only on this earth for such a short time and you can help others. I'm sorry you were made to feel "like the fat kid on the bus" but even when I was fat I had tons of friends who loved and respected me. It was just the strangers in the world that "made me feel like the fat kid on the bus" and they didn't matter to me because I didn't know them. They don't make a difference in my life but my friends do. Rule of thumb: Play nice and people with like and respect you.

To  Those newbies who may not know  AttyDallas: Please do not feel sorry for this person.  He says many things that hurt and offend others, and he is now crying that no one wants to "play " with him.    since he is using the "fat kid on the bus " metaphore, no he is not the fat kid, he is the bully, that has beat everyone up, and now no one likes him.
