....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

IS there anyways to ban people who are total asshats from posting advice in certain forums? Like no posting in the preop/introductions area because you give poor advice to newbies that do not know any better.

Dude, I wish! That would solve a LOT of problems.

I was JUST having that conversation with Boo Boo Kitty... I was wondering how some newbies here ever survive with the crap advice spewing out of the asses of a choice few people. 2 spring to mind right away.

You know what really irritates me???? I follow all these posts and look up to you all that have been banded already, living the band life and all. I even wanna be like some of you! I am hoping for 'addiction transfer' to exercise!!! LOL I love that so many of you share the good and the bad about the band. So many great things about LBT. BUT...

I hate it when someone (referring to the aforementioned thread) posts all this "advice" and "secrets" and "keys" but when directly asked how to achieve or unlock them, they suddenly disappear from the thread! This just happened last week too (I'm not a stalker, I just wanna be friends with all of you guys! :tongue_smilie: and the person offered an entire thread dedicating themselves to giving advice to the new people about being at goal and all! But when called out on it can't be found to respond!!!! ARGH!! If you (that poster) can't back it up, keep your mouth shut! Ya know? There, I just had to voice it because I usually don't say much!

Does this qualify as a 'post just to post'? Am I using too many quotes?

You are alright C.

Hmm I am pretty sure I can think of the other one Travelgirl.

Turler, I think I might know what thread you are talking about. And I may, or may not have made a half arsed, yet successful, attempt at hijacking that thread.

It may, or may not be why the OP of that thread now thinks that people who are smaller than a size 6 are unattractive.

OK..I am getting a headache trying to figure out who the afore mentioned

asshats are. How can I laugh at them if I can't find them? Would some one please PM and enlighten me? :tongue_smilie:

thats when you just follow up the not so good advice with better ... :tongue_smilie:

I can think of three. And it's funny how they always appear to be up each other's asses.

Kinda like those Russian nesting dolls.

See, you guys know who/what I'm talking about!! LOL Seriously though, I don't even think you hijacked it, you just called her out on it. I just think ppl should be careful about boasting. There is a lot of information for us newbies to take in and digest (pun intended) and advice like severe restriction to the point of malnourishment is absurd!!! How can she be boasting in one thread and asking others for unfill/maintence advice in another? And then of course, fall off the face of that thread!

Of course, I love watching a good debate/drama unfold like anyone else! :tongue_smilie:

Baby, I agree 100%. SOME PEOPLE, AND WE KNOW WHO JUST SUCK...

You can have my addiction, lol...it served me well. If you wanna meet in Ypsi one day I can go to the gym there and whip you into shape....lol...

:tongue_smilie:

BooBooKitty,

Hey, we only live a couple of hours apart! I could potentially take you up on that!! You and BabyGirl live pretty close too!

OK..I am getting a headache trying to figure out who the afore mentioned

asshats are. How can I laugh at them if I can't find them? Would some one please PM and enlighten me? :tongue_smilie:

Ok .... I found it. That is certainly NOT what I have in mind for me and my band!

It's scary that she is giving advice when her 50lb loss is due to starvation. Very scary indeed.

Ok .... I found it. That is certainly NOT what I have in mind for me and my band!

I am also asshat clueless and am seeking enlightenment!

:tongue_smilie::confused:

DOH! I found it.

Sorry, Chickie...people suck.

Dammit, I know this is rants and raves, but I just can't say what I want to say without attacking the person and not her ideas. So I'll refrain, but it's so hard.

Chickie, I can only think of two... I guess I need to pay more attention.

Babygrl, did you catch "Don't forget the lyrics" tonight???? I know how much you heart REO Speedwagon...
