See, there's the thing...tytbody "interpretted" what I said as an insult--she said people were accusing her grammar and spelling & questioning her ethnicity. You know what I'm sick & tired of that kind of crap. I never insulted her & I think I made that point perfectly clear--see my reply #14 to this topic. And I have searched & searched, I can't find where anyone else insulted or demeaned her either.
She also chose to put herself as the topic of this thread. I'm sorry this will sound harsh (insulting?) but that is pretty freakin' arrogant if you ask me! This topic was not about her but was about how people perceive things correctly or incorrectly. To make it about one's self takes a lot of brass ones in my PMSing opinion.
Now everyone is all "Oh, I'm sorry tytbody." Let's everyone have a pity party for poor little tytbody. Nope. No one did anything that needs apologizing for & I think you all know it but are too politically correct to admit it.
I'm not sorry for what I said. I said what I meant & meant what I said. It was in no way insulting or demeaning. People need to get the hell over themselves & lighten up. This used to be a place for fun & fitness discussions now it's gotten no fun. Some very fine people have been chased away from here--HB, Gettinfit, Trevor among the first that come to mind--because of this bickering & back biting.
Everyone needs to quit imposing their "rules" on each other, accept what is said with a grain of salt & move on. Don't worry about who is answering Cathe's threads. If you want an answer from Cathe only--say so in your post. Otherwise know that there are some very educated people here that can answer just as well as the grand dame! If you want a thread shut down because you think it is out of control--email Cathe/Chris directly. If they feel it needs to be shut down, they will do it--believe me I've done it & seen that thread shut down immediately. Posting a "flaming" thread isn't useful or constructive.
Well, I think I've said enough on this topic. I am moving on. See you in the funny pages.
