KPW, this is not a personal attack on you and it's not only about you I've seen it else where in another thread by other members past and present. Don't get me wrong I think you’re a very nice lady.

From what I see posted here about a member/past member is wrong. What is the difference now on what Lauren said and done is any different from what I see here doesn’t make it right.

Everyone’s point of views should be welcomed, any bashing by a member about a member should not be called for.

If anything needed to be said to a member then it should have been written to her in private.

If Tara has any issues with regards to a member here... it's her problem and not anyone elses. you / me may have the same thoughts but it's not right to post it all over here or is there a choosen few allowed to say whatever they want and it's alright cuz if that's the case then I'll be on my way. ( it's not a threat, I don't think it's right!) I've seen this kinda thing happen many times here and it's getting OLD.

My opinion if someone has something to say choose your words and your words only there should be no bringing other parties into your post.

What seems to be the problem here? Why can't we say how what we feel about a topic, thing, celeb, etc... seems to me that we would rather disrespect one of our very own members and that's ok.. seems to me there's a problem here.


I HATE THE COLOR YELLOW. SO WHAT! YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DISAGREE OR AGREE.

We are all mature ladies here ( I would like to think so) we should act like it.

P.S. The topic was French Women Don't Get Fat is it so hard for us girls to stay on topic ??<br><br>Post edited by: Nadia, at: 2006/11/05 12:40

Nadia,

You make some good points. It would be great if everyone worked at getting along.. and accepting our differences rather than having to defend them.

I am sure it is a natural reaction by everyone at times, Lauren and myself included. It would be my hope that we all can make an effort to get along and if not, just avoid the conflicts as much is as humanly possible. I know sometimes that threshold gets pressed though..

For myself.. I have reacted from a point of frustration.
My apologies to the community for reacting to it.. and any offense that may have been felt because of my post.

My apologies as well to Lauren. I wish her well, whether or not she decides to stay.

Now to get back on topic... I haven't read the book... but I do like it's premise.

KPW... I heard your frustration. You are a lady for apologizing.

On topic... great book.

Wow. All I want to say is that as human beings...we all have various issues. Personal issues, family issues, weight issues and differences of opinions. As women we can have differences of opinions with respect for one another and hopefully, in support for one another.

One of the reasons I do like the board is because there is alot of tolerance. No one is required to post on a weekly basis and if not, get banned. If we don't have crazy stuff going on in our lives, we don't have to make stuff up just to post and participate.

If someone wants to talk about politics, then start a thread and talk about it...I'm sure some people would want to join in. I know this site originated from the Starting Over show. Some people loved the show, some ended up disappointed in the show, some benefited from the show...whatever. The show has been cancelled and as the days go by there will be less and less talk about it.

People can chose to participate in whatever thread they want to and if the subject of a thread is of no interest to them, don't post on it. And to Tara, if I haven't been tactful...I will try to do better. It is not my intention to offend anybody. We can disagree, with respect for our different opinions. No need for anger and fighting.
