I know...I know....we've all been there. And it's important to be patient with newer folks and to be empathetic to their frustration.

I'm so wrong for this....but I just want to smack the **** out of them. Which would not be helpful.

I'm sort of re-evaluating the value of habitually reading this board.

It's all starting to loop around and around in this anxious cycle of angsty mental health issue driven repetitive slurry.

I'm starting to identify these stereotypes of posters that repeat over and over....

The Bird....I will not eat over 500 calories because calories are bad.

The Protein Addict....Must never eat carbs again or the world will explode.

The Why Me Whiner....Where's my yellow brick road, Dr. Nowzaradin?

The Documentarian.... Ate one and three quarters blueberries this morning for a total of 4.37687calories.

The Rebel without a Clue.....I ate a whole pizza yesterday just to see if I could cram one in there. I could! I want my money back!

The Pain in the Ass angsty Know It All.....who writes offensive insensitive rants like this one.

The Research Junkie.....sort of like the pain in the ass angsty know it all...but with more links.

The Fat Shamer.....let me endlessly describe how much I hated my fat, and by extension how offputting I find other fat people

The Size Queen.....Can I slip my new pants size into casual conversation?

The Oblivious Question Asker.....Um, I'm two weeks out, can I have chicken McNuggets and a large coke and fries yet?

The Lonely Soul.....Hi, We should be besties. I'm going to write 9/10 posts about how cool I think you are.

The Stuck Veteran....I lost weight ages ago and kept it off, but I still obsess about weight loss daily.

The Message Board Christian.....Lets slip Christ in there, just for the hell of it. Pray for me!

Maybe I just have a shitty attitude today. I'm bored. I'm tired of thinking about weight.

I'm glad I had surgery. A few bumps in the road, but I'm doing really well all things considered. I'm committed to following through.

But I'm so freaking tired of thinking about this.....and having it consume so much of my life.

And equally scared of not being vigilant.

Just kinda....ornery. Sorry.

Ok so please explain this—

Stop being a bully to me before I report you. And that’s exactly what you’re doing.

What does this even mean?

I’m sorry it went over your head. I really believe you’re simply bullying me at this point. Stop it.

Stop being a bully to me before I report you. And that’s exactly what you’re doing.

I’m confused? You told me I misunderstood, which I fully believe I may have done... that’s why I said I might have misunderstood. So you said I did misunderstand, you even called me dear.

So I’m asking.... can you explain to me how I misunderstood? You said

So I explained a person can’t edit after 15-20 mins and couldn’t edit someone else’s posts. And said perhaps I misunderstood your post. You said yes you misunderstood “dear.” So then I asked could you clarify what I misunderstood and since I couldn’t quote it I put the pic to show what I misunderstood.

So can you clarify what I misunderstood? You must have misunderstood me if you’re calling me a bully for asking your help to understand. This is a message board, we can’t hear tone of voice. So please understand I’m asking for clarification of what I misunderstood and that all!

And I don’t get what there is to report? Asking someone to explain a post that was misunderstood is not allowed?

I’m literally scratching my head on that one.

You know exactly what you’re doing. You do this a lot. Good bye, and stop it.

What do you mean she does this a lot? Are you talking just on this thread or do you notice she has a habit of bullying multiple people on multiple threads by asking them to clarify their crypt posts?

I saw what you wrote. It was in my email. You people are no more than bullies.

Hi Elise 24, as someone still getting notifications on this thread (and with no horse in the race), I really do think you are misreading the tone of these responses. No one has said anything bullying toward you, although you yourself have been quite unpleasant toward the OP (taunting her for appreciating a bump).

We're all undergoing rapid weight loss with the accompanying hormonal roller coaster ride. Might be time to back off and cool down.

Dear BP Posters,

Can we please let this tacky thread fade away?

Sincerely,

Everyone

Did you read my email? No. Taunting the OP? Did you read her unpleasantness to me?

This forum appears to have cliques.

FYI, for the most part, I have only responded to people who call me out. There was no need for you to address me. I only check in when someone calls me out.

Shaking my head at the cliques and immaturity of this forum.
