I cried last night
OK queue the violins.....
I think what teared me up was the fact that his comments were uncalled for, and I was shocked that he would make such comments; and also this was sort of a breaking point for me because if you have seen me post on Obesity Help Nate is NOT the only person that have "attacked" me for no reason, it used to be a few women on R&R and obesity help used to attack me, and I could not understand why I have even got attacked for simply posting my before and after pictures...yes how sick is that,? And I got to thinking why do people attack me so much here, is it my looks, is it what I say, other people can voice their opinions, say what type of man they like and so forth but if I DARE say anything about what I like this or that, folks immediately jump on me with the flame attacks....I guess this is why I broke down in tears,
I see a pattern here, don't you? My real point here is this:
You have to take a little bit of responsiblity for making yourself SO TRANSPARENT that someone could take it all the way there.
You are the one person that I can count on to always have some CYBER DRAMA following them, it's R & R, it's the Band board, it's Obesity Help, it's Nate, It's HATERS. Come on maybe...just maybe It's just YOU. That Oh poor me, what's is it?? Is it my looks?Is it what I say?? Why does everybody always jump on me??
Maybe it's your transparency, and the fact that you give up too much of your personal self and you set yourself up to be an easy target. There has got to be a reson why DRAMA follows you her on the internet and Everybody can't be all screwed up. Maybe it's just you.
Now I'm not flaming you, or jumping on you or being mean. That's not my style. But you asked a question and I just answered. I've been here over 6 years and have YET to get into a cyber fight...I wonder why.

Sharon, I really respect you and value your insight, but why do you CARE??? Why even bother to respond to my post if you cannot add value??? I sign on to OBESITY HELP yesterday on BAF and simply answered someone post regarding exercise and I get ATTACKED ...why are you starting MORE DRAMA that I don't need right now????Please end this I would appreciate it.
I don't think I warranted any reason yesterday for NATE to jump on me...anybody with a brain can clearly see that and now you are saying that I am saying WOE is ME....COME-ON' I gotta go now.
I don't do drama, not little drama, not BIG Drama, Your drama, my drama....none, zero, zip notta.
I felt that my comment did add VALUE..It made a valid point that you can either take or leave.
That's the thing when you post on the internet people can and will have opinions that differ than yours. Every conversation does not have to turn into an attack.
Peace to you Sistah ~ It really IS NOT THAT SERIOUS!

Ms Naomi,
I know I am new here however I feel compelled to respond because I think it is important. I have read the postings regards to your relationship. I do agree that when you make something public you have to expect some feedback and yes some of it will be negative and even more so it will hurt because we are human and we are emotional creatures. How different people handle it will vary and I think that reading these opinions (on how to handle the negative feedback) will help give you some excellent perspective J. My take is this: I live in a domain where several worlds exist, my world, which is open minded, big hearted and free and those little hater nations that just don’t make any damn sense. Now if you love this man and he is good to you and good for you then view your post as a weeding expedition because the people who are giving you a pat on the back are true to you and those who cant don’t belong in your world anyway, and that is ok. Not everyone is meant to be in your life at all times anyway. Maybe, just maybe, those people were in your life to teach you a lesson of who you don’t need in your life because it forced the real haters to stand up J. I consider myself a good person. I shoot straight from the hip, I have more of an open mind that a lot of people I know and I make it a point to treat people the way I want to be treated. My (white) mother raised me that way and I strive to raise my children the same way. So you see if it weren’t for wonderful relationships like yours, where nothing else mattered but love; not race, not looks, not money, just love and respect, then good people like me (who is a product of such a relationship) would never exist. Many blessings and much happiness to you!!
