Hunting Season - Heads will roll



Recommended Posts

Aw, shucks, tpg - that's just the wine talking. Oh, wait...I'm the one that's been drinking. How's that work?

Hm....

:mad: I just feel that someone was wronged, and for some reason I can't let it go.

Maybe because he's not allowed here to fight for himself? I hate being silenced and would want someone on my side...

He's got us, though, right? :thumbup:

Night! (Again, and for real this time!)

Glou,

Here's my take on all of this:

Yep, HH broke the rules. He should have been suspended but maybe for a shorter time period.

I believe that he was baited and went for it. I say "went" and not fell because he's smarter than that.

What bothers me is the word from the mods. Yes, they do have a job to do. Is it a popular job? No. Thankless? You bet. I don't like that everyone was painted with the same brush. Being scolded like naughty children is pointless. Yes, we all understand the purpose of LBT. But when you have catagories like R&R (in which I've read more about religion, prostitution, politics, anal sex, childbirth, etc. than in my whole life) how can you place limits on other threads?

In Susan's post, it seemed like she was admonishing RestlessMonkey for commenting to Donna/Failure. Donna is the one who entered the thread, read several pages, and then posted. She had the option to simply move on. That's what I do and what most do who aren't interested in the thread's topic.

The R&R section is beneficial for those times when you just want to talk but maybe are sitting in your living room alone. Better to come to LBT, find some friends, find some amusement and not go to the refrigerator instead.

Again, HH is in the wrong. He shouldn't have come back under a new name. But, the thread was harmless and if someone wasn't interested, they had the option to move on. Donna chose to be confrontational. She was rude to RM. And it's not the first time.

Let's all try to move forward. This IS a great place and I would be lost without it. I think we'd all benefit from using the Ignore feature more often. And let's give whirled peas a chance! :thumbup:

Thanks for listening!

I posted quite a bit on here, then deleted. I'm tired of explaining anything in public. Tired. PM me if you feel like ranting.

I've found that one of the "hands down" best ways to deal with bullies and people who are trying to stir shit, is to ignore them. Refuse to engage. So I have "Failure" on ignore. If she's trying to bait, well, I'll never know. I've seen that she's posted after me on a few threads; singing my praises, itching for a fight, or anything in between really doesn't matter a rip to me. If Susan did mean to slap me (not both of us, not Failure, but me) down on that thread TPG mentioned, that doesn't matter either. If she did I think she must've just been exasperated; I didn't say anything all that incendiary (I know; I can pick a fight with the best of them! LOL) and disengaged on my own before Susan ever showed up.

Bottom line, this has been unfortunate. Do I think HH brought more to LBT than his, um, adversary? Oh undoubtedly. But done is done.

I wish he had just put her on ignore . Then we'd all be on some other thread laughing and poking fun at each other.

"Ignore" works. I think it's the greatest thing since caller id.

Did you delete mine and Susan's too?

Apparently not, Brandy.

Or rather, you can say it, but it can/will be censored and/or deleted if you say something "wrong".

And, you know, Brandy...I really don't like your bmi ticker...I am deleting your post. *pooof...gone....

Ahh...nothing like a side of power to go with my wine.

i have no skin in the HH debacle. he broke the rules, ok he's banned.

from my standpoint, he was a good asset to have here. another voice for a bad band experience & to offer another view.

too many times, the band complication threads or those OP's putting out questions on what WLS type to have are bombared by those who are ADAMENT the band is the best thing since puppy breath.....and ANY kind of band complication is the fault of the patient.

i liked his writing style & while gruff - i appreciate that.

wish he found the ignore feature first - it's a FAB option to use here, about to use it myself after this post.

Ah...luvs you, too SNT.

Being curious, tipsy, tired and pissed, I've looked up a few threads here and I still think Headhunter got a really fucking raw deal. He got ganged up on by someone "mean" (I can say that without being banned, because clearly it's acceptable....see reference in Please Help -http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f178/please-help-98595/index4.html )

She's "nasty, rude and arrogant" (I can say that without being banned, because clearly it's acceptable....see page 3 of Please Help - http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f178/please-help-98595/index4.html )

Her opinions are "total BS" (I can say that without being banned, because clearly it's acceptable...see page 1 of http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f84/banding-out-usa-98764/#post1280255 )

IMO she stalks people who ARE far superior in intellect, I think that "somebody needs to kick that jackass in the balls. What a whiney biatch." (Clearly acceptable....blah blah...see Page 2 of http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f80/ghetto-99129/index2.html )

Can someone please explain to me ...oh, wait. I forgot. Asking for explanations is futile.

Calling someone names, then running and telling the mods your feelings were hurt. I feel so...so...dehumanized. Who's the whiney biatch? (Oh, and in all the threads I've read, you make one consistent error - loose vs. lose. Learn the difference. You're on a weight loss forum.)

Grow a pair (not pear, btw). (Maybe s/he was hungry?)

And with that, good night.

Someone's done their homework!!! Good job!

Secondly, love the grammar lesson. I find that very annoying too esp since I'm a Virgo. And to make it clear...you lose weight which, in turn, makes your clothes loose. just FYI.

My question to the thread is: Is it OK to take obvious LBT issues and then post veiled statuses on FB about said topic? Really....I'm not so stupid to not get the references. Wanna unfriend me? No time like the present.

I too lurve the ignore feature....have for month and months!

I don't know headhunter nor is it my goal to know him. I have been coming here for 2 years and enjoyed it alot until crap started happening. I left for the most part but pop in and out hoping they have changed how it is ran. They haven't.

This is R&R if someone wants to BITCH they should be able to. Telling Rho to have another glass of wine and shuddup is outta line.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
