Guys, I gotta get this off my chest.

BariatricPal is a wonderful site that has helped countless people on their weight loss journey. Many topics have been discussed here with some of them being a bit off-color or controversial, but it's OK because we are hear to learn and get help and give help.

But many posters ask honest questions, and some of the responses come off as being judgemental of the poster. If people are afraid their questions are going to bring down a rain of judgements on their head, they are likely NOT to post, and isn't asking questions what this forum is for?

So I hope we can give a bit of consideration when we respond to a question. Opinions are definitely OK, but if the post comes off as judgemental people may be hesitant to ask them, and it defeats the purpose of this forum.

Thanks, whew-I feel better now. I love you all!

Dang i am the first one to get blocked - I feel special!

Sometimes it's an honor, lol.

I learn so much on here everyday. I didn't know that we could block/ignore others but, good to know if really needed. I truly value and appreciate all of our differing opinions and views on BP, this is what makes us individuals. I'm opening my mind to other's cultural views and approaches to how we all choose to remedy obesity with this tool being the common denominator amongst us as humans. I don't offend easily, nor do I intend to give negative energy and contribute hate to anything in life. I'm thankful for your healing and for you taking whatever time you want to invest back into the universe to help heal us... I appreciate each and everyone of you and all of our uniqueness that we bring...

I've blocked quite a few people over the years and guess what? The absolute majority of them is gone by now anyway.
