*BULLSHIT! This is no "moderate" opinion on NAAFA's discussion boards,*
Yeah, there is. Me. And I know I'm not the only person.
However, those who aren't quite so moderate are often the first to jump on the keyboard and get rude to folks. And there are a couple of people who do that.
*for if there were, I and others wouldn't have been immediately banned for CIVILLY discussing the merits of DIETS.*
That doesn't mean that NAAFA opposes people trying to lose weight if they want to do so. There are several reasons diet talk gets banned over there.
One is that many, many of the standard "diets" out there result in most people regaining lost weight *and then some* after they are done with the diet. And, as you know, we don't need to get any bigger than we are!
There are a lot of unhealthful and "quack" diets out there. NAAFA doesn't want people trying them especially. They basically feel, and I have to agree, that a diet alone isn't magic, and may leave you worse off than when you started, especially if it's one of those ultra-low calorie ones.
Secondly, the particular board you were on is a support board, not a weight loss board. People are in there because they are sick of taking crap all day, and they want a place to "chill out" and forget about How To Lose Weight for a while. That is what that board is for.
This doesn't mean that none of those people are trying to lose weight ... I know some who are. This doesn't mean that nobody there is on a diet or searching for one to try. It does mean that we don't use that forum to discuss that, because that's not the place. Which to me makes a lot of sense. If someone wants to go on a diet, there are LOADS of websites to choose from, including this one! But a board where they DON'T talk about dieting ... you don't find many of those. But, yeah, advocating that people go on diets there WILL get ya banned, but that's not reflective of what anyone/everyone is or isn't doing about their weight.
*Additionally, you say that ONLY A FEW PEOPLE share the opinion on NAAFA's discussion boards that it's healthy and perfectly alright to be a fat, lazy sloth. MORE BULLSHIT! It seems like 100% of NAAFA's discussion board posters, like the Moderator Violent Beauty, are hardcore against anyone discussing, LET ALONE ACTUAL GOING ON, a diet.*
Again, I refer you to the above.
It IS possible to discuss dieting and weight loss on there and not get banned. The way to do that is to describe your own experience WITHOUT name-calling, or saying things like, "Hey you fat lazy slobs, why don't you go on a diet?" or "The way to lose weight is do this ... " In other words, people aren't on there for weight loss advice. It's not a weight loss advice board. We get that EVERYWHERE else.
*Furthermore, they immediately attack anyone who even discusses the possibilities and merits of losing weight and more importantly, getting in shape.*
I have to disagree here. There IS a forum devoted to exercise. No one there advocates the idea that fat people, or anyone for that matter, shouldn't get exercise!! Most of what is discussed on that forum revolves around the special problems larger people have to work around when they do start an exercise program. But if you go in there with a "YFF" attitude, yeah, it'll get ya banned. I never saw anything on that whole website recommending that people not exercise!!
Who were you in there? I haven't been checking in regularly much ... got sick of the trolls and arguments with and over trolls. Just wondered what you posted where.
*The bottom line is, your organization is made up of a bunch of lazy sloths who think that if their numbers are strong enough, and they file enough lawsuits and petitions, Americans will bow down and accept their nonsense. Guess what, that will never happen.*
Perhaps there are a few who are what you would term "lazy." But there are many more who have tried and failed to lose weight so many damn times that they are just demoralized about the whole issue. It's hard to get such a person working on it at all, and I know 'cause I've been there. That's why certain attitudes are discouraged and, indeed, banned. That's why it is a SUPPORT board.
I don't agree with *all* the stuff that NAAFA supports. Like the Southwest airlines thing. But most of it, I'm down with, including the attitude that we are ALL human beings, and all deserve to be treated with respect, and not "YFF" all the time.
