If you don't want to be offended then DO NOT open this thread. You have been warned!

If you're so tired of it 3loves, then why did you just start a new thread bashing another member? If you're so tired of drama, why did you feel the need to share a negative PM when you knew it would spin out of control inciting a member into attacking?
I'm crying BS on this.

Good idea. Who wants to go first?

I was previously a moderator at another forum and it is one of the most thankless (non-paying) jobs one could imagine. About the only thing worse is a Union shop Steward.

Maybe one day, the moderators will, with the permission of the person who runs this site, just shut the whole thing down for a while. When the children can't play with their toys, they tend to appreciate them more.

I hope not because this site is important for people who have lapbands.

Thank you Penni, you put into words what I was thinking about all day.

Betty unfortunately it appears that some members are NOT listening and taking the subtle hint. SIGH!!

The moderators don't have the power, TOM, but the owner does and he's done precisely that in the past. Do we learn? Evidently not. It could easily happen again.

It must be a full moon, somewhere.

Personally I truly appreciate all that the mods do do and how they've handled themselves. I've chatted with several and have really gotten to know one in particular and have valued their experience and patience. I think it's great that Alex has made it possible for us to learn from them and each other. I have no idea what the heck has been going on with postings, flaming, name calling whatever has happened to get everyone so bothered and for a moderator to have to remind people that this website is a GIFT! I come to LBT everyday, sometimes several times. I help where I can, ask questions if I need help, read threads but, I choose what I want to take-in and choose what I want to ignore. If something seems off to me or I feel it's craziness then I don't give it anymore thought or my time. Move on and search some more is what I do. People come with different personalities. We'd be bored if we were all the same plus we'd never learn from each other. What do I learn if it's a post thats kinda off key to me? I learn how NOT to word something, how now to get involved with the jibber jabber and I also learn how much I value my true friends that have been there for me here at home. I've also learned how different docs do things, how to adjust my diet, helpful hints if you feel something isn't right, what to ask my PCP or surgeon and that PB doesn't mean Peanut Butter hee hee. Anyway....I thank the mods and Alex for welcoming here and allowing me to be a member. I will continue to be open minded, help those I can and continue to learn all I can about this great tool I chose to have put in place. I hope everyone can live and learn, take what you need, page away from what you don't. I wish you all well and may you all continue to shrink

Amen, amen, amen. I want this in cross-stitch.
And if I can amend my previous alter-ego, I want to be Jimmy Buffett. (He has the perfect life!!)

Perhaps Dawg could convey this to his wife. It seems to me you closed down a thread where it was said to 3 Loves "You have your head up DeLarla's ass"...........hmmmmmmmmmmm isn't that feeding into a major argument and causing trouble, or am I once again mistaken.

Dody because of your comments that are uncalled for and certainly to get a rise out of some I will NOW close and Lock this thread. This was and is the very behaviour I am speaking about. There was NO reason to bring up this comment on this thread. You already sent the Moderators a "reported post".

Further, you have no idea if or when other members have been reprimanded or not. You seem to want it done publicly so therefore you are reprimanded from bringing up OLD issues where there is no business being brought up.
