    Just Wanting To Say Thank You!!!

    I just wanted to take a monent to say "Thank You" for that way that the ADBB Forum presents itself!!!

    I have been made to feel very welcomed & at home here with no form of harshness going~on what so ever & it is a nice change for me!!!

    I have been on another Forum daily since I started Atkins 1/1/09 & if I had known that this one existed before 7/1/09 when I joined I would of switched long ago!!!

    ADBB is run very differenly in Teaching, Style, Format & has may Features that I like very much.

    However I have gone back to my other Forum recently for a few days & have returned very hurt & sad at the behavor that is allowed to go on there by the Moderator.

    The Member's are allowed to take sides or gang~up on one Members & beat them down page after page till the Member is forced to say they are leaving the Forum. When they say something or give advice that dosent agree with what one of the several Clique's might have to say.

    Then he the Moderator steps in with a post after that Member has left telling everyone of their behavor & how they should better handle themselves in the future. That just makes no good sense to me of having a Moderator at all, it should be stopped while it was taking place!!!

    Their theory is that New Members Join & Old Members Leave every day, their a dine a dozen!!!

    That to me is just a very unrealistic way of thinking & NOT what I belive Dr Atkins had in mind!!!

    Thank You for listening & having such a AWESOME Forum!!!

        I was on the other site for a grand total of 1 day and decided it wasn't for me -- somehow I happened to click on a link and found my way here -- I would NEVER go back.

          I agree, this forum is truly amazing. I value it greatly and appreciate how kind, respectful and helpful people are towards one another. That's the way it should be.

          I have never really been a forum person yet after taking an entire day out last year sitting in front of my computer reading sooo many posts on this board, I couldn't HELP but join! The way everyone supported, encouraged and respectfully corrected one another when needed was amazing to see.

          I have been on other forums (not weight loss) and some of them are absolutely shameful in regards to how people treat one another and moderators and members just sit back and don't do anything or end up getting involved in shameful behavior. Not here and it's something the moderators, supporting members and members should be very proud of.

          Thank you everyone!
