Oh FFS....

Two funny things.

One...if you click on the link to the rules...it's broken and doesn't exist.

Two....I'm not ranting about ANY SPECIFIC MEMBER. This rant is about patterns of behavior, gross generalizations, and comical stereotypes....that this place is ripe with.

Also...please note the description of the Rants and Raves board:

"Want debate? Get it here. Gripe, complain, moan, fight, rant and rave. Enter at your own risk!"

Something like that. For fart's sake if you're a mom of small children, for feck's sake if you're Irish...etc..etc..

I sware some sociology PhD student could do a dissertation on BP and its posters...

You could do that on almost any internet board that has long term users though.

Probably...

While any analysis would need to include samples of users across the board (new people, drop ins, long term users, etc.), I would find the long term users the least interesting, at least academically. (Though that might be, in the case of BP especially, that there aren't as many because people either don't get on after a time, or they drop back in because they haven't been successful.)

Doesn't change anything in the end. You wanted to be funny (maybe) or you really wanted to rave and rant about other members and when you noticed you might have gone a bit too far you wrote that it was just a joke.

That's a really useful thing when it comes to irony: you can always use "it was just a joke" as a bailout.

I think especially the long term users are very interesting, both when it comes to cliques and how they treat new members. Highschool school yard anyone?

I completely agree. The immaturity is nauseating.

I wasn't thinking about the old mean girls group from back when. Good point.

Nope. I had absolutely no specific people in mind. And No, I don't think I went to far...in fact, there are several other stereotypes I left out. LOLOLOLOL:) Will have to revisit this thread and add a few more at some point!

If you expect me to worry about hurt feelings for talking about stereotypes and vague generalizations...you're barking up the wrong tree.

That would be like me worrying about you calling me a mean gurl. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOLOLOLOL:)

Psst...

Pot?

It's the Kettle...

You're black:)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
