Wow, blocked my FIRST person on OH today

At the risk of ******g people off... I read the thread and didn't see anything worthy of blocking anyone over, but that is why the block button is such a personal thing. I have people blocked and people have me blocked, and we all just go about our business. Honestly, I think it is obvious that I didn't agree much with his (Cirangle's) point of view myself, and even commented on why he seemed so down on the DS while still advocating the lapband.. Like I said though.. that is why we have a block button- to magically disappear anyone who makes our lives less than..

@Fawn

I think the fact that she called a lot of people carb fanatics and obsessed with being a size zero is what set me off personally. Also I tend to be very protective of my friends. I don't agree with everything Dr. C says either.

I think that we can discuss these things and disagree and still be respectful. I don't think personal insults are necessary to make your point.

I think you are doing great and I am so glad you post here.

I can't see who you all blocked. I wonder why that is. Heh, heh.

The funny thing is, I blocked her the day before this thread appeared because I got so sick of reading "I am so different from everyone else on the VSG board and I constantly get attack for it" followed by a post that didn't say anything different than what 5 other people had already posted before her followed by absolutely no one attacking her.

I don't get why some people feel compelled to play the martyr. It's very unattractive.

And I don't care if one of her friends tells her I said this either.

 WOW I totally missed this boat! I have to get over here more often! I saw "her" post before this one and I not sure what the hell took place but I say live and let live. We all do what works for us and don't need to be mean or insult anyone based on their idea of a vsg diet or the size they aspire to be.

OK......Got my level headed hat on......

Deep breath.....

Can't do it......

My mom always told me if you can't say something good.....don't say it......(yah that sorta works)

Now, my dad on the other hand told me when I was 12.......If anyone ever threatens your friends or family....it's OK to beat the **** out of them. (that's some old school parenting)

My Judo Sensei (coach) always said.... Never....I repeat Never use Judo outside this gym or a tournament......... unless your getting your ass kicked......than it's OK to use Judo. Chuckle Chuckle...

I think I should clarify that my issue is not with the C-word topic. I share my opinion and I know not everyone agrees with it and that is totally OK with me.

My issue was that my post with information from Dr. Cirangle was picked apart, and I was called names behind my back as well as my friends. To me THAT is the true high school drama and I think that behavior needs to be called out.

What that person wrote about me was PUBLIC and there was nothing I did that wasn't PUBLIC either. Maybe she thought I wouldn't see what she said about me because I don't read on the DS board, but regardless her comments were PUBLIC as were mine.

Speaking of the DS board... they put a link to this board. But this board is members-only. So how could they get in here to read this.

Diane - do you think you could put in a support ticket to OH asking  them to make sure our discussin board isn't public?

I know from my own group that you have to choose the option that keeps reading to members only.

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Before I joined this board, I was able to read here but not post. I joined once I tried to post a response and found out I was not allowed because I was not a member.
