Two words. Pina coladas. Or Sex on the Beach. Those are yummy, too. :biggrin1:

Nah. I'm a cryer. I start sobbing if I get into emotional arguments. I'm a mouse in RL. :speechles

Or these: :fish: :rant:

Apparently, it's true, since you see the need to ask everyone why they're angry. Kinda obvious.

And don't forget the main board. That place was a shithole worse than the band board. Except instead of "Sandy vs. the sane," it was "band vs. RNY."

Ehh. They're not bad, but they're mostly RNY. At least, the ones I went to were.

One person does not speak for everyone. Of course, you may not understand that, since you do support Sandy.

The anger is there because people are continuing to protect a lying, theiving, nurse-impersonating con artist. It's there because people continue to put her feelings before the feelings of the people she fooled and conned. The anger is there because those of us who chose to speak up civilly (and it was civil at that time) were attacked. Can you blame us for feeling a little put-out?

<br /> No offense, but we all knew Dee was a wacko. I had her on my friends list, but I still knew she wasn't all there. It was joked about so often on OH (in that nice, no names mentioned way of talking about people that y'all have) that I fail to see how you missed her wackiness.

I'm planning to go to the pharmacy tonight and get something. I would have swallowed the Advil, but I was afraid to, since I've had so much restriction.

The same holds for someone who spreads lies about another person, telling people that they've worked with their doctor and "you won't believe what he told me!!!!".

Of course it wouldn't. In Dee's case, she's not someone that they publicly supported. She's just the nutjob and fair game. EVERYONE knows she's a wacko. It's not hypocrisy, then. Funny how they support Sandy but fail to speak up on behalf of Dee.

Before anyone asks, YES, I am mad about this. So her past was made public. Boo fucking hoo! It isn't like she made a mistake and turned her life around. She was actively BREAKING THE LAW AND LYING TO PEOPLE! I have no sympathy for someone like her. She isn't someone who made a mistake in her past and is a do-gooder now. She is someone who made a mistake in her past and CONTINUES to make that same mistake. It would be like neighbor putting up a poster of the neighborhood child molestor's previous convictions for molesting children. At that point, it isn't invading their privacy. It's a matter of public awareness and safety. All this "boo-hoo, they should leave her alone, she wasn't hurting people" is PISSING ME OFF. She was hurting people. She was and is breaking the law. She isn't someone to be protected. She should be banned from every fucking weight-loss messageboard and website in existance.

Yeah, we've all got bits of our past that we'd rather not have become fodder for common knowledge and discussion. The difference is, you and I aren't trying to make fools of the people around us. Sandy lost the priviledge of keeping her past from people when she lied to them and made them think she was a nurse and therefore had more knowledge about banding than anyone else. No one involved in this whole mess has been an angel, but Sandy has acted in a way that asks - no, begs - for someone to come and knock her down a peg or two. She's hidden her past from people. That's acceptable. I don't think anyone would have begrudged her that right. But that's not the only thing she's done. She's guided people into thinking that she's a NURSE, for crying out loud, a figure that people on a board such as OH automatically look towards for guidance about their bands! She's led attacks on people, spread lies about them, simply because they spoke up against her. That's NOT acceptable. There comes a point in all of this where you simply have to either cut ties with someone or take their side. And by not making a public statement against what she's done, you've taken her side. You've given her unspoken acceptance, and the other people around you know that. Not wanting to spread someone's past around is one thing. But by not letting other people know about her, you are allowing her to continue in the way she always had.

By the way, do you heat it or eat it cold?

I'll have to try your turkey and cranberry thing. It sounds pretty good.

Crap. I can spell "normally," I promise.

I'm not normalyl so plain spoken, but I had a hard time coming up with a word that described just how I feel about her. That's as close as I could get, yet it doesn't quite do it. :biggrin1:

I figured she didn't work for him after I looked at Dr. Kuri's website and couldn't find a single mention of her or a picture of her. There's pictures of all the staff that a patient is likely to come in contact with (the nurses, etc.). If she really was his "patient educator," there would be a mention of her or she would have been pictured. The hag's full of shit.

Maybe they'll finally do something, then. I doubt it, though.

Yep, I (among others) made screencaps of her website and of her posts where she claimed to be an RN/NP/CNS. So, if anyone wants the files to send to the authorities, I can provide!

I'm pretty sure it would violate OH rules and the thread would be deleted if you posted it on OH. Of course, if you are ready to leave (I don't know if you are or not), you might as well go out fighting, right? Now, I think you may be able to post it on LBT for everyone to see, since it wasn't an LBT PM.

To add to my above post: OH is a very clique-driven place. If you aren't favored by the overwhelming group that is posting (which would be Sandy's supporters), you are either ignored or attacked, depending on how vocally anti-Sandy you are. Her supporters apparently feel that they have only one way to interact with other people in a way that is favorable to them, and that is to publicly support Sandy.

IMO, that's exactly what they fear. If ANYONE dares speak up about Sandy, they get bashed by her groupies. I've experienced it, WASa experienced it, Wendell experienced it. You can't make a single post suggesting that Sandy might not be correct without getting trounced by her supporters. They know that if they dared speak up against her, their "friends" would turn on them in a heartbeat. It's safer for them to just remain silent, even though they KNOW that she's giving out bad information.
