TommyBoy, I apologize. I didn't feel the NEED TO HAVE TO SPELL THIS OUT FOR YOU. The postings on these boards ARE and SHOULD be used for getting helpful and resourceful information and advice. NOT for the purpose of insulting or degrading any one regarding their personality, gender/race/size/preference....etc. I suppose I should have emphasized and used the word TACT!

If you want to hear your own opinion, you are wasting your time interacting with people. Try a mirror.

Hmmmm...did I mention the word TACT?

"find sometimes that people who are truly beautiful really dont want to hear it" That's a success problem. Not a problem like the one we are discussing. I don't feel sorry for people who have something GOOD. They are self interested and are not worth my discussion. I honestly hope they die because there are REAL problems in the world, and their problems take up valuable resources when they become depressed. [/QUOTE]
I would advise you to consider some intensive therapy...as the world is made up of many different walks of life...there is no perfect mold...that is what makes us all interesting...otherwise we would all be dead from boredom.

"Thanks for your very biased opinion" All opinions are biased (or they are not an opinion).

For this one I apologize...My dander just got the best of me.

"People do not generally choose to be heavy. There are genetic factors, metabolic factors, and some people are just large." That's a cop out. If you take in more energy than you burn, your body stores it. Some people have a MUCH harder time than others, but it's not impossible once you understand the science. They just don't want to PLAN THE WORK AND WORK THE PLAN bad enough to be successful. They want pity. I say, I want results.

I am truly grateful you were not a significant factor in my upbringing...I cringe to think you could have been my father!

"Why is it that no one bothers to see me for my personality instead of just looking at my measurements." Did you read what you wrote. They SEE you for what you LOOK like. They may appreciate you for many other things, but when people are LOOKING, they use their eyes mostly.

It is easy to "see" that you are a person that reads only black/white. There is no gray area. I am sure there are plenty of other sites that would appreciate your "opinions/requirements/judgements". With that said...please take your perfect self to a perfect site that salutes your perfect ideals in life.

Sorry Julie, couldnt help myself.

youngswingers · 06-07-2002, 10:56 PM

Has it occurred to anybody that our beloved TommyBoy is a troll (someone who posts outrageous comments on forums to to work people into a frensy for his own amusement). It certainly has worked! But as insensitive as his comments are, Maggie, please do not give up on trying to lose weight! We love the fact that you love yourself as you are but remember that you have a family that would like to have you around a long time. Medically, staying at your current weight puts you at considerable risk for heart disease, the number one killer of women, not to mention adult onset diabetes. I had a professor once who said "There is a fine line between content with where you are in life and resignation." Of course, this is hardly the place for a lecture in health.

Getting back to the subject . . .

If you'd like to talk about how "Mean People Suck" as the bumper sticker says, by all means start a thread.

. . . we are talking about fat people here as far as I can tell.

That one statement, and the crude way it's worded, pretty much sums up where you're coming from.

Dan, I agree with you. I have pretty much stated my side...and am not going to give any more energy to the "kid".

**Alura** · 06-11-2002, 12:46 PM

We don't understand why y'all wasted time replying to TommyBoy at all. It's guys like him that have caused us to establish a "No Single Men" rule in our playing.

We think couples who swing, if they do not put their marriages on the line, at least have some risks involved. Single men risk nothing. Therefore, it seems to us, it's unlikely that they will ever really understand what swinging is all about. Why bother with them? Especially if they are like TommyBoy????

Hey Alura,

I agree totally with your post. My responses were not so much an answer to "tommyboy" posts, but were more an effort to let others know that all people are not so shallow. As I said in a prior post...My dander got the best of me.

You're correct, of course. I'm done wasting time with him. My temper just got the best of me in my last post.

We usually always try to give a person one shot at least to see if we can reason with them. But there are people that will not learn and you just have to ignore them.

d and K · 06-12-2002, 06:59 AM

Isn't it funny how a dead topic has such a huge response?

That was the original problem, which I have tried to address. Why does everyone want to address being nice instead. Nice doesn't get you very far. Oh, you feel good . . . but you feel good alone (if you are fat) or poor (if you are in the business world).

Instead of a "pitty party" like everyone seems to want to have, how about an action party. How about taking some action instead of complaining?

There is no such thing as a dead topic here. Everything resurfaces sooner or later.

Right on michigancouple!

We have had the same results with nice as you have had. [Wink]
