No offense to most veterans on here, but sometimes we newbies would like to converse amongst ourselves. Which is primarily why I go to the forums marked BEGINNERS. Most people on this site are very helpful but some are just plain ol assholes. lol

Well, you are in Rants and Raves now, so you are fair game

I have noticed that very little attention is paid to which forum you are in on this board. You will get used to it. Suggestion, if you only want a specific audience to respond, politely ask that in your thread. And yes, some of us are assholes.

lol!!

Define "newbies"

LoL.

I would say people who havent already lost 100 lbs. yet. lol

That's size-ist! Or is it weight-ist?!

I dunno.. I'll just shut up now

lol maybe..... just lookin for some real people who arent judgmental know-it-alls who put unsolicited dictionary definitions on the BEGINNER forums. And oh yeah, Im 38 yrs. old, not 12. Ive always been a rebel. #ranting#raving#reallynotabitch

lol yeah, if someone did that to me, I'd be feeling pretty patronised, too.

People don't mean to come across like that - to be fair - and most of the time.

It comes from a 'good place'.. (bit like the 'happy place' )

Try not to let it get to you. I always find bashing my head repeatedly on my keyboard often helps with the temporary 'OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!' moments.

No offense taken, but I'm not a vet, I'm a newbie. Do I qualify as an asshole if I don't enable bad behavior? I qualify myself as a bitch sometimes, but I'm curious if I've crossed the line into the A-hole territory!

I've lost 100#, but I have 100# more to go. So does that mean I am an asshole, qualified to take the asshole exam, or that I just HAVE an asshole???
