Fatties and their Haters

[BroomJockey]

Unless they're mentioned in a forum, then they're just told "Well you should've reported them."

Because that's not a report. That's public griping. Subtle but distinct difference.

Out of curiousity, what's stopping you from following those directions now? Are you somehow blocked from reporting those posts at this time? Or is it a simple refusal to follow directions?

No, it's simply that someone's statements about another poster doing wrong, shouldn't be ignored because they failed to report the other posts. I'm willing to follow directions. I'm just saying it's rather absurd for you to dismiss LadyNeeva's claims about AFPheonix, because he reported to you first.

But... there haven't BEEN any reports. There's nothing to dismiss.

Actually, no report is made to me at all in any fashion. Take another look by my name. I'm not a moderator. I won't receive reports (though I've been reported on a few occasions, I'm sure). I'm simply asking why, instead of going for the public gripefest/name calling/etc, established means of handling problem posts are steadfastly ignored, even after the fact.

I've said it elsewhere here, and I'll say it again: The people on this site are quite accepting of damned near everything. What I haven't said, but will now, is that the mods are more than fair. If you report a problem post, and your report is valid, then the offender will be dealt with.

Hell, I've reported myself a couple of times when I thought I might have crossed the line, but wasn't certain I had. If you have a problem with a post, report it. The mods will take care of it.

Alternately, you can continue to post derogatory comments about posts, and see yourself get slammed for calling someone else out. No skin off my nose either way.

Pedersen is the KING of reporting himself. I always get a kick out of it.

And of course, it is always appreciated when someone asks for a second opinion when they aren't sure about something they've said.

The important thing to remember is that reporting a post is the only sure way of making sure all moderators see your complaint. Although there have been moderators following this thread in particular, we don't always have the time to follow them all. I get an e-mail when someone reports a post, so I know to have a look at the post in question. But if you just make a complaint in the thread, I may not see it.

We also like to avoid threads degenerating into bickering about who's out of line and who isn't. Such as this thread. So let's try to move it back on topic now. The topic is fat acceptance. Let's get back on course.

The topic is fat acceptance. Let's get back on course.

I accept my fat! Well, I wish there was a little less of it to accept, but I may as well face the facts:
1. I like food.
2. I'm lazy.
3. When I'm stressed and depressed (like right now) I over eat.
4. I wil never be a skinny girl. It's not possible and I would look stupid-- I'm short but I've got a nice pair of birthing hips. I need to be a little bit curvy.
5. I quit smoking and drinking and by the gods I need to have at least one vice left in my life!

I remember I used to hate my doctor because she always told me "If you don't play sports, you'll just be fat." I mean, she was right but I wish she had put it a different way (long story, my whole family is full of atheletes and I'm the book worm...I always kind of went against sports); the stupid sullen teenager in me just went "fuck it, so I'll be fat" and didn't care until it was time to go clothes shopping....

I'm just-over-the-line fat, and I would love to go back to being a little chubby. I know I need to change my diet and I need to learn how to exercise, and if that doesn't work I need to see a doctor because thyriod problems run in my family.

It's my body to take care of, and to care about.


....um, is it at all strange I got hungry writing that?

I just weighed myself today, 5 days into this diet that I started, I've lost 2.4kg, I maintained my weight when I was eating shit, things like pizza, chocolate, timtams (Mmm, timtams), Hungry Jacks (BK for you yanks), chinese, soft drink and fruit juice. The reason I kept my weight, circus training twice a week including 1/2 an hour of conditioning at the start and a conditioning circuit at the end, martial arts training once a week, and now I'm doing 12 hours of massage a week as well, that combined with the fact that the diet is about 700-800 calories a day means I'm losing weight, it's not particularly had.

I like food, I like it a lot, this diet has not left me feeling hungry, is as tasty and filling as other stuff I was eating, but it's got almost no fat or sugars in it, and somehow very few calories, I will admit to missing chocolate though.

I don't believe in acceptance, acceptance is admitting defeat, I believe in betterance and improvement.

Like, trapezees and stuff?

[Boozy]

LOL - I missed that one. I'm guessing she means "circuit" training.

I missed the chocolate too, for a bit. There is a reason why Snickers are a popular hiking food, ha!!

Mostly acro, juggling, plate spinning and fire stuff

No, "he" meant circus.

[Boozy]

Double fail on my part. Sorry.

[Flyndaran]

...

That seems ridiculously strict. I'm not sure that is at all healthy even if you are very short and small framed.

So accepting people who are poor, disabled, ect, is admitting defeat? It's admitting defeat when someone who has to use a wheelchair, says "I can't walk". They're supposed to overcome that?
