All I ever post in is "General Discussion."
There are other boards there, but I don't really fit in any of the special interest groups, so I don't go there.
I do not mean any offense, and I'm not pre-"diagnosing" anyone here, but in the case that you ARE only going to point, laugh, and make fun, do us all a favor and don't.
P0ink, your activity that started this all off was mean-spirited, and water tends to seek its own level. You diagnosed some of us as a couple of things, and lo and behold, the same occurred to you. I personally don't believe either side was really on the money ... but if you go over there with the sole intention of being ugly, and reposting stuff over here to make fun, other people will be just as outrageous to you as you are to them.
Aside from that, it's like speaking different languages from that board to this one. It is very easy to misunderstand what someone wrote and get into an argument, when what no one gets is that the fat people are writing about oranges, and the bodybuilding people are writing about apples. You're talking about this kind of diet and exercise, the other person thinks you meant that kind. It's no wonder people get frustrated.

Um, the reason you can't find anything by p0ink over there is he got banned, and all his stuff got deleted ...

I´m not going to post over there, my knowledge on nutrition is limited and there already more competent people than me posting there.
Besides i don´t have the time or the interest anyway.
I have found a few posts of pOink though and i personally didn´t consider anyone of them to be offensive. Including the locked one where he stated that everyone is responsible for what one eats and that neither media nor the fast food industry is to be blamed for obesity.

When a person puts up one ugly post, or comes over here and reposts things just to make fun, the things posted in a more respectful tone tend to be seen in a different light.
Also, the fact that anyone would come over to a board where the express desire of the members is: Please leave us alone with the weight loss shit already, we hear enough of it and we want one place where we *don't* have to hear it! and argue that topic is, well ...
is not doing it to be kind or helpful, let's put it that way. The whole thing sounded punitive to us, just one more person who in the physical sense at least was comparatively better off, coming in uninvited to deliver once again, the time-honored YFF.
At least, that was how we saw it.
The problem isn't as simple as some people make it. I don't think everyone who fails to see that they are being misinformed by the media should be judged as harshly as p0ink thinks is appropriate.
Having been there, I know how it felt and why I did as I did. There clearly didn't look to be a better way at the time, and for some people the better ways are not so obvious. Instead of berating people for being easily mislead, it would be more productive to work for change, so it is easy for people to get the information they need.

Same did some other people like knowsaboutnutrition. YOu even invited some people on the thread here to go over and tell about cutting.
>The problem isn't as simple as some people make it. I don't >think everyone who fails to see that they are being misinformed >by the media should be judged as harshly as p0ink thinks is >appropriate.
They shouldn´t whine about it either, like blaming it on bad faith, or sue the companies selling fast food.
>When a person puts up one ugly post, or comes over here and >reposts things just to make fun, the things posted in a more >respectful tone tend to be seen in a different light.
I can understand that.

I personally don't know what suing fast food companies accomplishes, myself.
I didn't *invite* anyone. Some of the folks already posting here said they might go over there and post, so I said (quoting someone else over there who posted about hearing they were coming), "If you're going to do that, here are a few things I would think about first."
Knowsnutrition and 2 Ton Hoss are accepted over there because they posted respectfully, without putting anyone down, shouting, "Lose weight! Lose weight!!" or saying YFF.
There is a difference in saying, we're weightlifters and this is the way we eat, and saying, "YFF, don't you know you're supposed to eat like this and look like this???" If all you are saying is, This is my exercise regimen and eating plan, then people can decide for themselves whether or not they want to know more, without being put down if they don't. There are people posting on that board who out and out say they want to lose weight. That's fine with us as long as they are not putting down other people.

"I'm sure if you have advice about healthier ways of eating we would all appreciate it over there. Just be respectful and don't cram "X percent body fat" down people's throats, and we're happy to have folks there. "
"I posted over there that y'all might be coming over"
"So, ladies and gentlemen come on over! "
So you never invited anyone?But i guess that´s picking at details.
In the BB-thread which i read and where pOink posted he said that BB spend a lot of time with nutrition and training and therefore one should expect limitations.
He never said anything like BB won´t take any1 that doesn´t invest at least X hours in fitness herself, yet he got a little flame for that statement.
That´s a contradiction to your last two paragraphs.
