What if someone came on this board and made a joke about deporting all fat folks. Many would be up in arms about that.  

 I know.....It is only a joke. right??

respectfully,

La Verne

First and foremost, I am truly and deeply moved, yet somewhat disturbed, by the fact that you felt comfortable enough to share with me and the other members of the entire BAF that tidbit of information about your brother and his condition.  You're absolutley right, mental illness is nothing to laugh about and as a rule I don't.  However, who says I haven't lived that life that you speak of with a member of my own family?  Who says I'm not, in fact, the person in question here?  Furthermore, who am I to question you about any of this?

I've never ever outright disrespected the sistas of the BAF and I've only tried to be a true brotha to the fellas of the BAF as well.  But no matter what I do, no matter what I post I always get the backline messages about how fugged up I am; or how harsh I am; or even how stupid and childish my comments or post may seem.  Not your problem, I know but hear me out... 

I post on here just about everyday, sometimes it's humorous and sometimes it's quite serious.  No matter what I put on here, the respect stays in tack and a good time is had by all.  No matter what I put on here, I try not to allow myself to get sensitive about the comments that I get back.  Countless times I get the comment posted back to my post, "You're a fool..." or  "You're crazy..." or  "You're stupid..." and these are considered compliments mind you!  But not one time, not once, have I heard about your brother and how those comments directed at me make you feel, whether it's in my defense or in defense of mental illness as a whole.  But now that I posted something in jest, you feel the need to come at me with some old Bull****!  Don't take this the wrong way, but are certainly sure you and your brother don't have the same diagnosis?!

Ayy yo, I would like to thank you for giving me the extra push that I needed to get my blacque azz up off of this board and to go back to doing some real work for a change.  Good luck to all of my supporters over the past few months.  Your comments, prayers, and PMs have helped greatly.  To all of the haters who have posted negative comments, sent me negative PMs, or if you simply blocked me from accessing your profile based on a comment or two I made - Thank you too!  I feel that there has to be balance in the universe and I know you're just doing your job in keeping it real.

Lastly, I would like to say to you, La Verne, thank you for your enlightening letter.  I personally wish the best for you and your brother.  May God/Allah/Jehovah/YahWeh smile upon you and all of the other WLS patients, newbies, and OGs.  Good luck to you all in your journey.

I don't do Internet drama. I made a comment on my opinion of your post and at no time was I disrespectful towards you or ever hit you up in pm negatively. This is my last comment on this post. 

Have a nice life.

Are you serious? I know you aren't really considering not posting anymore or contributing your input here. I myself enjoy your posts and don't take things on here personally. I'm sorry that you have offended some, but some of us you haven't. I also have a mentally ill brother (Paranoid Schizophrenic and Bipolar). Although it can be very stressful dealing with this illness, especially since he lives off and on with me, I did not take offense to this. This is in no way meant as disrespect or personal towards anyone, but in any thing you post I'm quite sure it will offend 1 or 2 percent of the people on BAF. We as a family have to learn to take what we need from posts and brush the other off. Life deals us all blows and only we can choose how we deal with them.

LaVerne: I know it can be hard and I'll be praying for you.

When they start deporting mugg-ugly, make a person wish they were blind, bastids, that's when I'll get worried and start trying to skip over to Mexico.
