Suggestion

If you find a blog or a poster offensive, please, do not engage in endless arguments. It only fuels their need for attention.

Exercise your right to report such a poster and/or the blog to the owner of the site, Dr. Mark.

if you have valid suspicions about people being exploited here in any way, you need to report it to Dr. Mark as well.

I myself reserve the right to report every blog where other people are called out by name, judged, and berated without their consent.

I find it unethical and detrimental to the weight loss community and against the mission of the site. It makes this place unsafe and lacking the general courtesy of communication.

    Very well said. Thank you for putting this advice out there. I guess we’re forgetting one of the first things we learn “Play nice.” Thanks for the reminder. ;)

    You are right on!

    I have no clue what is going on here and I guess that is a blessing in itself. Way to set things straight.

    Have a great weekend Tatiana! *hugs*

    Couldn’t agree more and will not allow myself to be suckered into any further arguments that merely fuel other peoples fires.

    Haven’t seen what’s out there but I agree with what you’ve posted here. We’re here for support and useful input not to hurt each other….

    ARE PEOPLE ON HERE FOR REAL? I swear they are not listening to some of the good advice that has been shared here. Still the squabbling. It is like there are a bunch of mad chickens here at Buddyslim.

    Have a great day Tatiana.
