For the love of Bob!

This thread has turned into utter ridiculousness!

I just love the fact that Kia says something which is taken as an "attack" and instantly gets attacked back, and yet countless times I have seen him "attacked" in much the same manner and nobody says anything about that, in fact often they join in.

Also is everyone completely blind? No one side of this argument is purely right because both have correct points. As I said, Kia is generally right to a degree, but the other side's points regarding popularity etc are also right... The real truth lies in a mixture of the two, which I am sure Kia would agree with.

I find it sickening that people feel that it's fine to all gang up on one member because he's not afraid to speak the truth as he sees it and won't back down just to please everyone else! To say that Kia did this out of malicious intent is clearly folly, you obviously don't know him since he is a caring person who wants the world to open its eyes to the obvious so that it can learn to be better! So stop condemning!

Well his comments to the mods were uncalled for, troll-like even.

Ahh don't worry about it, you get hard skinned doing this mod job. We decided not to infract him again and let the course of the debate flow.

I think we pretty much all agree judging by the poll that the post your pics thread is here to stay. I'll be closing this thread soon as it's run its course. So maybe make your closing points people.

MikeyC I pretty much agree with what you summed up in your last post, unfortunately you deleted it.

I prefer social democrat thank you. :thumbup:

I am a social democrat too. Hey look we have something in common.... AND I like the smiths... we are almost best friends.

The double standards here amaze me.
There is only one mod here who I do respect - because she deserves it not because she is entitled to it. Who doesn't bully, use threats, use sarcasm, condescension, have an inflated ego, treat women like sex objects or use their authority to give them some kind of power trip. That's the kind of mod I respect.

I think a little bit of respect and appreciation for the unpaid work the mods do here is appropriate and especially in your case. They've made special attempts to help you and give you insight in the past and you've been rude as feck to them in response, not cool.

Personally I think you just need a good old fashioned kick up the arse. You like fighting too much. Plenty of people here to be kind and sugar coat it for you, agree with whatever the argument of the day is with you, but truth is you like arguing. You have the anger, it doesn't matter what the topic is. You want to talk about the man and the system and blah blah. And when you said what you said at the start of this, you knew full well that your comment was going to upset a lot of people and you knew it wasn't true. You've contradicted yourself a load of times just to keep it going. Just face it, your interest is in the arguing, not the topic. Maybe join a debate team?:idontknow:

Jewel - your arrogance is astounding. You need to get over yourself - just because I mostly stand alone in my positions means jack all.
Obviously my post in the 'post your picture thread' struck some kind of emotional chord with you. You disagreed - fine. I explained why. Fine - what I have not done, is taken the moral high road and berated you and held a false sense of empowerment because you have support and I have little. The post your picture thread goes off on tangents every now and then (with unrelated comments) yet my one sticks out and causes a reactionary response from you - why? Why does it anger you so much that I think looks matter? I already told the most vocal detractors that they don't have to agree or 'conform' if you want to put it that way - about what I said - you can reject it if you like, do your own thing... but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to say it or stand by it.

Do you honestly think I just like fighting for the sake of it? No - I have opinions and values and I stand by them - that's not the same thing as 'wanting to fight' - now if ALL of this was reversed and everyone agreed with me instead, and said YOU were wrong - you would be dis empowered and you would falter.

This forum preaches free expression, but does it exactly the opposite - and I can tell you right now the number of PM's emails, facebook messages by dozens of members right across the board who tell me that they wish they could say some of the things that I say but dont - do you know why? Because of the repercussions and backlash that they would get. The blatant status quo that MUST be adhered too is stifling support, anyone is welcome here as long as you agree with the majority - and it seems the upper echelons of the SPW members always prevail. People are AFRAID here, it is an oppressive 'support' site. Let me say that again... people are AFRAID here. I have had messages from people telling me that they have felt suicidal because of the community here. But they don't say anything because they have no where else to go and are terrified of expressing themselves on the forum.
The last five pages have been nothing but an expression of how awful I am - what does that tell you?.
Think what you want. It doesnt bother me in the slightest.

Jewel - take a look in the mirror. You are embarrassed for me? You should be embarrassed for yourself.

Oh and if something doesn't bother you, you don't SAY that it doesn't bother you - because that illustrates the exact opposite.

I have BDD so naturally threads like this get my attention. I have to restrain myself from becoming a part of them. I'd be posting thousands of pics of myself to look for acceptance if I gave into my condition. I work in mental health and have received therapy, so thank goodness I can logically recognise when something rules me emotionally. I do not see very much of that here, people do not appear to me to be pic whores like myself. There are forums out there that would would not believe. This is not one of them. Post your pics people, it's cool! :)

All I've seen is pages of you being horrible to people who have dared to disagree with you and naturally they have reacted back. Judging from your responses, I seriously think you need to look into Narcissistic personality disorder.

I know what narcissistic personality disorder is. I volunteer in mental health.
I have not been horrible to people - I have stated a position which I believe to be true which others don't like hearing.
