Re: I wanna slap people sometimes!

I'm born and raised in this country, and while I realize it's a common trend to have no manners and no class, I would NEVER speak to another person like this. Call me crazy.

ok..So, are you saying she has no class?

My point.. (I got kind of long winded) was that technically she did not call that woman an *******. But the inference was there. I wouldn't have responded that way either but then we weren't there and don't fully know how obnoxious that woman on the bus was.

Swearing or off color language, to me, is like any other form of communication. There is a time and place for it. I don't use profanity very often. Because of that, if I do use a word it shocks those who know me. It's like punctuation... sometimes a shock is needed to get the point across to some people. I've probably used the F'word three times in my life.. I know what two of them were... #1 when I found my husband cheating with a close friend. #2.. The first time I rolled a car.... OHHH!!!. I remember the third.. When we found that the "Day" fire might crest the ridge and our home was going to be burnt to the ground. Turns out the wind sifted and the fire never crested the ridge.. I was premature that time.

I wasn't trying the defend profanity... but the person I was replying to commented that they thought there might be a cultural difference and I was answering that there might be.

If she really said the whole "Opinions are like assholes" thing to that lady, then yes, I would say she has no class. I HOPE she was just being dramatic and trying to make it a more interesting story.

Well to be honest you don't know me and to say I have "no class" based on what I said in my defense in a situation that you weren't present at, can be constrewd as just as rude. Look, I could understand if I asked this woman what she thought of Atkins and after giving her opinion I blasted her, yes that would be tacky, especially after asking for her opinion. But I DIDN'T ask her opinion. I was sitting there minding my own business. SHE is the one with no class. First of all it's RUDE to bother someone who is clearing reading a book, it's an intrusion of one's space. Second, after intruding on my reading, she lays into me and loud enough for everyone on the bus to now stop what they were doing and look over at us, REEMS into me about how dangerous Atkins is and to just eat less and exercise! I treat people as I'm treated. Had she wanted to find out if Atkins was dangerous and asked me, we could've had a conversation. But just rudely blasting me with her anti-Atkins propaganda shows a lack of class on HER part not mine.

I believe I also posted regarding someone else's comment that I was rude that they weren't there and didn't hear how this woman was speaking. Trust me when I tell you, she wasn't trying to be a kind woman doling out free and caring advice. She was loud, rude and obnoxious and my response to her was mild. Lucky for her I wasn't PMSing that day, it would've been worse. I don't think sticking up for oneself is having no class. It was funny, I'm a comedian, that's how I roll.

Btw, I don't have a lot of time to post as much as I'd like so I try and condense things. I gave the condensed version of what happened that day and maybe some people felt from what they read, I was rude. I didn't think I had to post a big, long explanation about defending this WOE to strangers when we all know how frustrating it is to have to defend it to family, friends and co-workers. To have a complete stranger sit there and bash it, well I just felt I'd post it so others who also went through that type of thing could relate. I wasn't looking for people to praise me, however, I honestly didn't think I'd have a few people calling me rude and having no class. Especially from this board where everyone seems so nice and supportive.

Come live in Los Angeles, take public transportation with all the crazy people on there and then we'll talk. However, if you really feel I have no class that's okay. I know I have class, I'm not rude and I'm actually a very friendly person. I no longer worry about the opinions people (especially strangers) have about me. It's just an opinion and you know what I say about opinions...ROFLMAOPIMP!

Re: I wanna slap people sometimes!

Sorry guys I shouldn't have fanned these flames..

The other board I belong to is very staunch about people calling each other names. It will get you pointed and banned for a short "vacation"... I admit I was really kind of surprised to see name calling here. I have had nothing but support and friendship from the members here.. I regret that my questions may have precipitated this exchange..

No worries. The comments and name calling were there before your post. I'm not one for conflict but I'm not one to stand by and not defend myself or my stance. However, I've said my peace and regardless of what responses or additional name calling may come, I will not respond. I am so grateful for this board and the support, I don't want to do anything to jeopardize that. I know I wouldn't have been this successful so far without it and I know I need it to continue the success. Some days when I feel my a little less than motivated, I come here, read posts, look at before and after pics and just like that, I'm raring to go. I don't want to lose that.


I just want to get back to what drew me to this board in the first place, the wonderful support of a great WOE that may finally change me from being fat an unhealthy to thin and healthy!

You we're attacked, unpravoked, by a busy-body-know-nothing-shrew. Actually, knowing the transit system in L.A. well, it's a very bad idea to bother a stranger. She is lucky that you were the stranger and not some lunatic, of which about 35 % of the passangers on public trans are.
