paging all bullies paging all bullies
I think it started with a troll (undecided_2, who has since deactivated, but is probably lurking under another name), who posted **** from one of those bogus anti-WLS sites, and then there was a disagreement about that behavior,which the self-appointed shrink-to-the-abused-fatties decided was bullying (this link is a starting point: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/4444919/Hypocrites-Do nt-be-one/). Of course, the purpose of THAT assessment was to give her her own "bully pulpit" from which to pontificate her self-aggrandizing pop-psych, forum-nannying, Oprahish propaganda. She is an attention ***** (And I wonder if she's using these posts to generate business for her counseling services, since she brings up her "profession" so often?)
Getting into it with Sue a couple of days ago was just her excuse to revive the self-created, "wag-the-dog" dispute, because attention was fading. She creates drama around invisible enemies ("the bullies," whom almost nobody sees as having had any interactions with her or the troll that have been in any way bullying), so she can be a hero in a war that doesn't exist. Interesting who the few people who come out to support her are (like pupcake - with her very personal vendetta against the DS and its advocates) - the ones with their own antipathies and agendas against specific people in the wide net cast by the forum nanny.
Speaking of "imaginary enemies" - see this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16058464/ns/technology_and_scien ce-science/t/imaginary-friends-enemies-are-good/. Apparently, this is part of the forum nanny's self-actualization process, and important for her intellectual and emotional development - I think she may mature to the level of an eight-year-old any day now: "Children who have imaginary enemies are better able to take on the idea that other people have opinions and desires than you." [That's a bit of a weird sentence - I think it should say "other people have opinions and desires that are different from yours."]
But she clearly isn't there yet - she is still trying to get her imaginary enemies to change their minds and agree with her. Not gonna happen.
I just keep seeing Baby Bush sneering at Twit Blair...."if you're not with us you're against us".
What ****s me to tears is the perception that because we have lived with obesity and oppression and discrimination that we are all broken fragile men and women unable to manage petty conflict. I have a back bone of steel now because of the adversity that has shaped me. I don't need to hide behind a passive aggressive controlling nurse maid that wants to explain away my relationships and experience of this forum with her stunted broad brush strokes.
She needs a common enemy to get her rocks off. I guess that is the collective we......WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I have a hard time imagining someone so unbalanced and narcissistic involved in any area of the mental health field.. Generally in order to do that well, I'd imagine you'd need a fairly strong sense of self to deal with the mentally/emotionally challenged..
That might damage the poster's self-esteem and creates a negative environment, you know.

sounding like the incessant highpitched yappng associated with her avatar! I have to restrain myself around yappy dogs; my toe gets an itch that only a 40-yard punt can cure.
So I stopped reading her for a while.

Drop kicking would work for me.
Or someone shaking her by the shoulders and waking her out of this delusion she's created that she is now the official board police.
