Why is there no name???

Wendy, can I just say you're awesome! I was wondering how you'd feel about the remarks since I know you didn't like the name See, this is why we're part of a group, the solidarity that comes from it, the support that we can give each other. Even if we don't agree with each other, we can still agree to disagree, and we don't cut each other down to do it. This is the reason this board came to being, any board for that matter, and some people just can't resist trying to make themselves feel good by making others feel bad. And that IS what they did - made Tish feel bad, I don't care how they try to explain it.

You are most welcome to give me compliments all day long. LOL I love groups like this. I'm am member of a group of women who were pregnant and due in April 1999. Our group is still together. It's such a great group. We disagree sometimes, but I swear I tell those girls things that I would never tell others.

I think that's how you make the best of friends - when you're in the trenches together! - whether it's pregnancy or a verbal attack!

the high school stuff from other people is getting really old.

Yeah, I was shocked when job after job I encounter people and the "high school stuff". I thought that was all behind me when I graduated.

Poor Craig, he's probably wondering what kind of group he got himself into! haha

Okay, I strongly suggest staying away from the rants and raves thread. Holy crap, those people have some big problems with newbies! I guess they forgot they were once new too.

Tish - I read the other thread and I was feeling hurt right along with you. I said my two cents to them just now. Hopefully they won't jump down my throat (eek lol).

Yeah, it kind of makes you not want to post questions in fear of what the old timers will say to others about it.

Tishbite - I read it all and - yikes!! What to say!! I can feel your pain!! How awful. I've noticed a LOT of "older" users, if I can use that term, can be harsh in their answering questions, sometimes sensitive questions that even say right in their post, "Please be nice when you respond," and even then they're blunt to the point of hurtfulness. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your nymph, and if some people think it refers to nympho, let them think that. Who cares? YOU know what it means, and it's an EMPOWERING thing, and it's also empowering and feels great and supportive to know you're part of a group who you belong to. So post your picture BIG BIG BIG and your glittermaker thingy - put it back to the original size, and if some people hate it, let them hate it. I LOVE it!! And I love yours too, Stephanie. It makes me smile whenever I see your nymph pics, and then when I see you on another thread I recognize you instantly due to it, not your name, but because of your pics and glittermaker stuff. It's uniquely you, and I think that's great!!!

And SADES - You better not move off!!! I read that in the RnR post. I LOVE to hear from you too!!

I think it's just a newbie thing, like we're useless and have no valid opinions or points, so either we're ignored or looked down on or picked on because we don't have the band 'wisdom' yet. God, we're all FAT here people, where EVERYONE and their donkey have looked at us and pointed their fingers and talked behind their hands about us. I don't know why there's the need to belittle OTHER FAT PEOPLE!! Maybe some people haven't learned if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. Even though it's a rants and raves thread, I can't imagine ever belittling someone else FROM THIS BOARD. I would have thought that's an area to vent what the SKINNY people have said to you today, or what your boss made you do, or the dog poop you stepped in, or how your car broke down, but not to cut down other members. How awful for you Tish!! You know you've got my support, for what it's worth! God, what a can of worms!

Thanks Linda... I like being on here to see people's progress and try and help people as I was helped in the initial stages. I'm not easily intimidated but at the same time I didn't want to fight for my right to be here! In the end, I decided to ignore the ignorant people and use this site for the the purpose it was intended. Good luck to all of us on this fabulous journey!! :whoo::whoo:

So true Tish! :clap2: What's funny about all this is I was reading one of the rant n rave threads on the weekend... it went back as far as 2005/6 and there were comments made about beings newbies... by some people who are doing it to the newbies now. Now isn't that what happens in school??
