I am starting this thread, as I do not feel it is appropriate to continue to post in a thread about a man who was tragically robbed of his life today about subjects not pertaining directly to that. And for the record, I accessed that thread via the main forums at the top right where it shows recently posted topics, but does not show which thread they are in.

I have now been on LBT for several months and love being here. Every board I have ever been on has sections for off-topic discussions, and people know that is what they are for and that anything may be discussed there. Those can and do include topics such as politics and religion. Most of the time, while all do not agree, the discussions are usually kept civil and are an enjoyable debate, whether one chooses to participate or simply observe.

I personally am saddened by people who have decided to join our board after all of the drama finally died down and restart things again, especially by attacking some of our older members and the way our forums are set up. My personal opinion, and I am saying this because I have simply had enough of the drama queens, is if you don't like LBT or its format, then don't come here. There are plenty of other boards on the internet that you can go to. If you choose to say, then wonderful, we are happy to have you here and offer our support to you. But please, leave the drama out, stop attacking our beloved members and LBT and do not ruin it for the rest of us.

I said in my first post I was looking into getting the band.

Thanks for the link. It is much appreciated. I also have been reading everything on here related to the band for hours every night for the last few days.

Uh huh.

Like I said obesity seems to cause cruelty in some people. You are a shining example of that. You must be very proud of yourself

WOW! The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

Fruits...nuts...whatever.

Brooklynn - I understand you are considering the band and have read a great deal of posts on this site. I also understand that you are here to "represent or support your mother" who is Dody.

Maybe just hold off on posting for a while until you get the "vibe" of LBT. It does come across in your posts like you are here to stir the pot in a passive agressive way. Whether you mean to or not, it is how you come across. That is why I think if you are true in your intentions that you just sit back for a while and let the dust settle.

More people were affected by the recent drama than the few who were banned or allegedly attacked. It has been a serious buzz kill for the entire board but most of us are trying to move forward.

I have kept my mouth shut since all of this began and I hope to remain silent, but I thought you should be aware of how you come across.

Very nice!!! What a lovely thing to say. But what should I expect from a self proclaimed "lover, not a fighter".

I'd much rather lick the pot than stir it. Could that be why I needed a band in the first place?

mmmmmm. Cake batter bowls.....

The bowl I mix my homemade cheesecake in!

I was wondering why the poster Brooklyn was posting about some argument I know nothing about in poor Steve Irwin's memorial thread. It ticked me off and you all know it's hard to tick me off, but I mean really, have some sensitivity and tact, not everyone is following or cares about the arguments here. It's. not. all. about. you.

Even if your angry, please be considerate of others that have nothing to do with whatever is going on.

Amen! I am new and have no idea who these people are that got banned or why they are even mad. I read a few posts and to be honest I couldn't make out why people were upset in the first place.

I have been on message boards long enough, (and just life experiences in general) that when someone blatently disagrees with you in a provoking hostile manner, they are just trying to bait you and bring you down to their level. Something I have been teaching my 7th grader since he was in pre-K.....If you ignore them, they have no control of the situation, you do.

Well, at least now I know which group of threads I'll want to avoid.....bub bye

Who died? you

Who died? you mean Irwin?

yeah steve and now Peter Brock:(

2 icons in the 1 week

RIP to both of them
