Wow, blocked my FIRST person on OH today

Never thought I would have to do that.  This person not only insulted me, but one of my closest friends as well.  You can read this thread and probably guess who I blocked and why:

http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/ds/4358639/Why-I-will-no-l onger-be-suggesting-ANYONE-uses-Dr-Cirangle/

I tried to ignore this person and not engage them, and they started following me around on OH, looking for my posts and constantly posting her "counter opinion" as if she felt she needed to discredit me.

 I have been accused of having an agenda and to be honest I do.  I look at some of the people here, that I know online and IRL, and I see their joy at having lost weight successfully and want that joy to continue and want that joy for myself.  

I want to support and help the people that I care about (and I care about a lot of people) to continue to experience that joy.  I believe strongly based on experience, observations, my own education and research, etc. that the way to continue to see those people I care about experience joy is to support and help people to make the best food choices possible, for both their health and weight.  

I can't say what those best food choices are for people, but I can share what my opinion and experience and strategies are in case people find them useful.  I know that people don't always see things the way that I do, but I just want folks to know that I am sharing my opinion and never trying to attack folks and that I have the best intentions.  

 

This is my firs block too.  Hey that was not so tough.  It is obvious that we make her life harder, so I am just removing the irritant.  I wish her luck, really I do.  I just no longer wish to be part of her world in any way.  I like sharing my journey on this site, I get a lot from it.  It is like journaling only the journal responds back to you with wise suggestions.  How cool is that.  I don't want her meanness to make me question if I should post a thought or keep it to myself because others might think I am "obsessed".   Anyway, I kind of like being a little obsessed with this, keeps me on the straight and narrow and it's fun talking to you guys.  Sometimes the conversations on here go to great places I never even envisioned when I first wrote down a passing thought.  I just plain like you guys, and I am not changing a thing about my stream of consciousness posts.  If she thinks that staying size 0 is just too important to me, she doesn't really get me.  It is the control thing and head issues that I mostly like to deal with.  Now if she called me out on those, she would have a point worth discussing.  The size 0 is just the result not the obsession. 

I've already blocked two people as well, and I feel much happier as a result. 

Some folks just aren't happy unless they are spewing negativity.  No time in my life for that.  I'm honest, straight up.  But at the end of the day, we can only speak from our experience and share here.  I love that, for the most part, folks here, particularly on this board, are also very honest but respectful of each other. 

Life's too short for idiots.  There.  I said it.

Happy Monday!

I just clicked on your link and saw that avi and had to LOL.  I swear that woman is such an antagonist.  Good for you for *getting rid* of her.

You know we are not talking about DiannaCox right?

No...oops, I just assumed..haha!  I didn't read throught the post at all,,,just saw that avi.  I'll go back and read.  Thanks Elina.

Oh, I gotcha now ; )

Hint.. the person is a VSG person on the DS  board. :)

Hugs to you and Elina :)

I don't blame you for blocking anyone who is trying to cause havoc. I've blocked a couple of people who are just trying to cause problems or are too rude for my taste. I tend to ignore the person you blocked...she likes to start problems but usually stays in her own forum. I rarely cross into that forum because it is antagonistic.
