It's official: I'm TIRED of OH

It is the new trend- the yelling and screaming and bitc'in, it is on the TV reality shows, talk shows, the kids are doing it -flying anger and unruly tongues is the new world. And not just the USA, I watched some teen show last nite in the UK - plain aful. The rich dingbats as well and poor ignorant folks. We have lost our sense of decency for freedom of speech. Too much freedom is bad, even why we sit working on our own surgeries, because of too much freedom!, I repect myself and demand respect or it is a one way converstaion, I think we have lost our self respect  from the congress down to the little kids, and I hope we can regain our discredtion.  Just me, grndma of 5, still trying to leave a legacy.

Thing is....I understand we all have bad days....maybe we speak before thinking, or react to a post without giving it thought ( I made that error once and felt sooo bad for it).  Its not okay to flame someone hitting a rough spot, and needing some cheer...THATS part of why I am here in the first place.  But I'm with Bette on this one...all the fussing and fighting is insane..and actually more childish than any fight or name calling that could take place in a classroom of immature elementary students... and lets remember, they are kids AND actually know the person they are being rude too...  It always amazes me how people can fuss and never have even met he he :)  So I am here so much less, mostly just log on to check on folks and cheer on a few that send me notes. :)  I use to think that people left the site because well they got thin and simply got to busy with life....and while to a large extent that might be true, sadly many leave because they get tired of the drama. :)  HE HE we should have OH give them their own forum....  alas its kinda like those folks that create viruses for computers.... pretty unclear what good it does them to do so, but we have to learn to deal with them.  So ....have to deal with some less desirable things but insisting on keeping the positive comments going as well.  

....just keep swimming :)
Swoosh :) 

I totally understand what you are saying Bette! I have always come here looking for great information from the vets (like you)
I have been hanging out on the pregnancy board (since I was expecting but since m/c)  I have come back to here to see how things were going. And it seems like this board has went to the ****s (pardon my language, but that is the truth) in the last year.

A lot of going back and forth about what surgery is better.

So I don't blame you. I will miss your wisdom Bette!

I guess I just got spoiled on the Pregnancy after WLS forum

I'm tired too, Bette.  I remember having to post the Plateau Buster Diet at least weekly and sharing the same list of foods over and over again to help newbies.  Now I spend more time defending the lab band.  Actually, I don't because I refuse to get into "My surgery is better than yours" wars.  But still, I'd be thrilled to getting back to helping people figure out living life with a gastric band, even if I have to post what I eat 10,000 times!

Sad when the Queen of *****fest gets tired of the *****ing!  That's pretty bad!

 I'd love that. Wendy!

I hate to see you go, you could block the posters you don't like... I think you add value, you did for my post....
Don't blame you, but I for one will your advice and counsel...

Cheers!

 I reiterate: I am AROUND if you need me. Just use PM like the Bat Signal.
