Where's T???

I've just noticed that Cowboyonfire's profile picture is deactivated, anyone know why??? were sure gonna miss his recipes.....:(      Patti K.

Patti,

Thomas left the OH forums because one person battled him constantly about trying to keep people low carb and staying off of high carb foods.  The person is okiechic7 her name is Sherry.  She has not stopped with her attacking him in the Oklahoma forum for quite a while.  He blocked her and she was sendng emails around to the members instead of letting it go.  So instead of causing a big fight, he has decided to leave. 

The thread that asked where he was is here : http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/OK/a,messageboard/action,r eplies/board_id,4838/cat_id,4438/topic_id,3826153/

As you can see, I didn't even know who she was an she completely blindsided me.  Luckily, most of the members of the Oklahoma forum are smarter than she guessed and checked her story.  Like a lady, who I don't know, but others know her well, called Dot.  Dot called her bluff and when she confronted her about it, sherry didn't have a way to catch herself.  I've also left the Oklahoma forums, to show my support for him.  It is really sad since he only wanted to help people.  I've never known him to ever hurt another person, but after she attacked me for no reason, I don't care who bashes her.  Feel free to start a new post showing her the damage she caused while he chose to not lower himself to her standards.  The Oklahoma board lost a great contributor to their group because of her ignorance. 

I hope this answers your question,

Sarah

I must be missing something. Who could quarrel with low-carb recipes? I don't understand.

Sarah, thanks so much for your reply...but it makes me sad to think that someone could do this to another person who was only trying to help with his recipes!!  and always, there to share his knowledge....all I can say is very sad......Patti K.

Well, in a word, that just sucks.  I despise drama too, so I guess I don't blame him.  I wish he would have stayed with us on the recipe board though.  If he changes his mind, he  has friends over here.  :)  Gail

Ok that's sooooooooo terrible!!!  I can't believe that someone would bash another person because of the way they eat or prepare food.  I mean come on people we're here because we all have battled food and been fat.  If people choose to eat low carb then maybe they have just recognized the reason they came to this site in the first place---TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!  As far as any research goes that I've EVER read (and I've read ALOT been fat for 32 years kinda makes me an expert if you ask me)  low carb  is the way to lose weight and to maintain the weight loss.  Any doctor will tell you that. 

As far as T goes.  I love him and want him back.  Who cares what other people say or think of you???  Hell people been talking about us for years!!!  ("Oh, look how big he/she is, OMG I can't believe how someone could get that big.")  That one person or couple people do NOT matter.  Who matters are the ones that love you and need you.  We depend on you for your help with editing recipies for us and coming up with new fun and wonderfully tasty things we can eat.  That is LOW-CARB and HEALTHY for us.  We love you T please please please come back.  Don't let the little children on here ruin a good thing.  WE NEED YOU T!!!

The immaturity some people show on a message board that is supposed to be all about supporting one another is absolutely ridiculous. Who cares if his recipes are low carb? If you don't like his way of cooking, don't use his recipes. If you don't have answer to his questions - don't bother posting in the post (even though she deleted her answers, so I'm not even sure what they were.)

Please let T know that he is missed and that everyone seems to have her number and that he should return to the forums and provide us with his advice, recipes, and friendships again. Don't let one person ruin a good thing.

Shauna,  I agree with you 110%!!!!!!!  Patti K.

That is awful. I don't post often, but have truly enjoyed his recipes. All the posts I have seen from him on this forum have been positive. I hate to see him leave.
