You all know I don’t go all “serious" serious that often, but I have to today.

 

I just received a disturbing e-mail from a family member of someone who comes to OH. Some of you may have received this message as well.


I’m not going to go into the highly personal nature of this message, but I do want to reach out to that member, now deactivated, and say that I hold no judgment against you. I hope you’ll come back to OH (if it was even your decision to deactivate in the first place). Please look me up on Facebook (are we friends already?). I’m under my real name, Nikki Massie.


I don’t know if what that message said was true or not and, frankly, I don’t care. I consider you a friend and I hope you are ok. Please let me know that you are.


That is all.

I echo every word of Nik's post. I did not receive the PM, but read about it and want to offer my support and non-judgemental friendship to you. You are gone from Facebook as well. Please contact me there or here... you do not have to be alone.

I agree wholeheartedly with Nik.  I rec'd the message and didn't even read it all...I deleted it.  That is not why we are here and you will need the support of this board regardless of (true or not) those personal issues.

Please come back.

I got it too.  After the first dozen words I deleted it.  

I sent the pm below to the member.  Now that I know the member is deactivated I'll assume it was not received. 

I hope the member is lurking. 


I'M IN YOUR CORNER ALWAYS MY FRIEND

Hey there,

I just wanted to let you know that I deleted the email sent under your identity without reading it.  As soon as I realized it was not from you and there was malicious intent, I chose not to continue.  That took maybe a dozen words.

We remain siblings in this struggle against obesity.  No comment from me.  No deciding what to believe from me.  No judgement from me. 

That message is dumped in the nunya bin.  As in nunya bidness.  As in none of my business.   

Much Luv,
Stay Strong,

  MSW

Sorry everyone.  It was already out there so I didn't think I was doing anything wrong - she is the one *****sponded to my post in another thread and put the information out.

But consider it deleted.

Hi Amy,

Thanks for that info, but I was trying to protect her anonymity by not mentioning her name!

No worries! I haven't seen the other threads but not mentioning names just seemed to me like the thing to do, especially when someone's account was hacked.

I know you had the best of intentions as you usually do. Hugs.
