Sorry but i just gotta say this

lol!!i cant help it if i roxx soxx

Actually, I have to agree with you Ashley. I think it sends a wrong message to the kids on this site. I think alot of the people that come here are kids. It may not hurt my feelings, but to a 14 year old, overweight kid, it will hurt thier feelings. And more importantly, it gives them the impression that they are unattractive. I mean, how many threads do we see in the Depression forum that are about young teens feeling ugly or fat or whatever? Of course everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, but I think these threads sometimes go way too far.

Sorry HelmsmaN, im not exactly new, well im not exactly a vertern either xD Just under a new name.. :P

thank you so much for understanding what i have to say. i feel the EXACT same way as you do. sure i find it a bit offensive, but for a child with so little self esteem to come here and read it, IMO is just a sin. :(

Yeah.. I just looked up your IP...Apparently you have have created 4 accounts in the past few months... I find that extremely irritating.. Pick one and tell me which one you want to keep.

4? thats strange because this is my 2nd ever account... Dont know where that came from...

Yeah right... Pick one of the 4.

What you mean yeah right?? This one....

Hi Ash; I'm certainly not going to oppose your right to voice your opinion, but I think you've got it a bit wrong here on all counts to be honest. I cant imagine what was wrong with Bobs thread about attractiveness, aren’t we entitled to say what we find attractive? I cant see anything wrong with my thread about sexual turn offs, aren’t we entitled to say what turns us off sexually? And I think you're just really missing the mark regarding CBW's disability thread when you say:"...thread about whether or not someone could lower their standards enough to date someone with a disability".She didnt say anything about 'lowering of standards'. I took her thread to be addressing the emotional and practical issues that would surround falling in love and marrying someone with whom it was not possible to enjoy an active sex life. I'm pretty sure I'm correct in that interpretation.

i know what you mean there hunn. its just i dont want someone to come on here, read it, and feel even worse about theirselves.like, if they dont look certain way or whatever, then their not good enough. thats how i thought of the threads. thanks for replying tho

That is not for you to control! We as members have a right to post whatever we want, even if it is not the politically correct thing to do. As I read through those threads and posts, none of them did not seem to be blatantly offensive. People have preferences, and I can't change that. I could give a shit if someone came on here and told me that he finds black women ugly and unattractive. Why? Because, like Starfish said, I could give a shit about what some anonymous person thinks of people who look like me.

Now, I'm going to say something here that may get me into trouble, but I don't care. This board shouldn't function as a place where people can come and build up their self-esteem; that is the job of the "real world." Our job here is to give advice to the best of our knowledge. And if they gain some self-esteem while on the boards, then that's fine. But we shouldn't be so hell bent on trying to protect someone's feelings by restricting what people can post just because they have a certain preference. The *real* world is much harsher than this place, anyway. It's also a place where we can express our views or interests, no matter how vulgar or offensive they are.

Now, if you had an issue with any of those threads, then maybe you were overanalyzing their intent. I didn't mean to imply, as you put it, "if people would lower their standards for a disabled person." I was just asking a question that many people go through when they fall in love with someone who is disabled.

Finally, the best advice anyone could give is this--if it offends you, then don't read it. Don't get so hung up about what goes on here. Like Helms always says, get out and enjoy the *real* world.

Quote:im a little disappointed to read that post knowing that the person who made it is so offended over posts that involve race, but yet makes a thread about whether or not someone could lower their standards enough to date someone with a disability. (classy, i think the world of you, i just dont like that thread! xx)First of all, me asking a simple question concerning abilities has nothing to do with race. I love how a few people on here try to point out how I'm supposedly hipocritical. I'm not offended by posts that involve race; I'm just offended by the stupid things people posts in those threads. I don't care if a white doesn't find me attractive; it's his preference. If you actually read my thread without the bias you have, you would have seen that I had no intent of malice. Quote:maybe i am being a little over-sensitive over these topics, but im saying this on behalf of those people who wont say anything at all. i AM insulted from these topics, but i would say that there are more people on here who are more insulted than i am right now.I'm sure I know who that other person is. Like I said in my previous posts, if it offends you, then don't read it. You are being overly sensitive. None of those threads were intended to do harm, especially mine. But, as you and a few others like to do, you over analyzed them and made them into something that they had no intentions of being. Nice going.

i believe i have a right to think what i want. so i am.

>>I'm sure I know who that other person is

do you? because i dont, it was just a general statement.

>>But, as you and a few others like to do, you over analyzed them and made them into something that they had no intentions of being. Nice going.

actually no i didnt over analyze anything. i read what you posted and wrote what i thought of it. like you said, if you dont like what i have to post on here, then dont read it.

anyways, i do NOT want to get into this with you. you think what you want, and so will i.

This board shouldn't function as a place where people can come and build up their self-esteem; that is the job of the "real world."If you worked for me, your ass would be out the door and your stuff would be on the sidewalk. The insensitivity of the moderators here is surprising, but yours is truly shocking. I suggest you read the Docs terms of usage and purpose of this site before you open your ignorant mouth.First of all, it's not OK for people to say whatever they want here. This "press" is privately owned, and no one has a Constitutional right to free speech. If that were the case, if someone said "I don't find skanky nigger chicks" would be allowed to stand. It surely wouldn't.Madame moderator, you think the guy who created this site did it with the principle idea that you described? You're wrong. There are plenty of places people can insult classes of people over "flaws" in personality and how they look. It may make you feel better about yourself to put down the "flaws" of others, and it may amuse some people, but it hurts others. You obviously don't care, and apparently can't even understand.This place is mainly for people to get information on personal social issues and medical conditions. If you don't understand that, then look at the list of forums.You have the sensitivity of a cinder block, so you were of course the natural choice to be moderator of a place like this, where some semblance of human feeling is a requirement. If you had an ounce of ethics or common sense, you would never have accepted the job. I can't figure out why you still have it.

What can I say? It's the bitch in me that's starting to show!

Quote:actually no i didnt over analyze anything. i read what you posted and wrote what i thought of it. like you said, if you dont like what i have to post on here, then dont read it.Here's the thing, though. Instead of coming to me and asking me what my intent was, you create another thread trashing me and assuming what my intent was. That his how most, if not all, the shit on here gets started. But, it's typical a2a fashion. So, I'm not surprised.

i wasnt trashing YOU. i was saying i didnt like the thread YOU made.

Okay, that's fine. It would have been the right thing to do to ask me personally instead of assuming what my intent behind it was.
