Who feels like answering an open invitation?

There is post on the main board where someone is dissing me and my Pre-Op post. I just copied it a day or so ago on the main board here - weightlosssurgery.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=711

With a little tweak to the intro and end, it would make a nice answer to her post - you might point out that I didn't diss anyone for their surgery choice whatsoever - she just CHOSE to read it that way:

Topic: RE: Life Choices

As you can see, I'm an RNYer. I *lived* on OH for the first year to year-and-a-half after my surgery.

Why did I leave? I was so SICK of so many discussions disintegrating into a surgery was... being brought down by Diana Cox and/ or other of the "militant" DSers (*my* term) insisting that the DS was the only "smart" surgery to have... that if you even considered any other, you were stupid, etc.

Yes... IT WAS THAT BAD.

I don't care what surgery you had. I really don't. If it works for you, that's AWESOME. If you want to share information about it, that's ALSO awesome. BUT... when you start bashing everyone who DOESN'T/DIDN'T choose your same surgery? That's just wrong.

If you WANT respect, GIVE respect.

That was 3+ years ago. I don't really know what's happened lately, but I imagine much of the same.

So... I see no problem with management dealing with a" tiger" that was continually attacking... it's a danger to the community. It should be isolated so as to protect itself and everyone else.

Commented. Short and sweet though. If you like I could repost your whole preop post there

And now the thread is gone.

Hey all, if you have firefox there's a handy plug-in for creating full-page screenshots called "screen capture elite". So if you see a post that you want to archive, you can use that to make a image screenie in one click. If you want a text version as well just print a copy to a pdf file.

Screen Hunter is freeware and is awesome also, it puts pictures in a folder of your choice with date, etc.
