@69, when did I say some people can't help it if they weigh 500 pounds? You need to calm down. Oh, and your former lover who went on the water and tuna crash diet? That's fucking horrifying. I can't believe you'd advocate that anyone else should do that.

What I especially like is that if anyone speaks up in defense of fat people, the trolls here automatically jump in with the HURF DURF BUTTEREATER comments. It's a lot like calling someone a nigger-lover, you know? Keep it classy, Slog.

And I don't understand how I'm "ungracious". Why must I be gracious to someone who reads my comment and then totally dismisses everything I say? You're certainly not gracious, baconpussy, by leaping into the discussion to call me names. I didn't call anyone names but there you are belittling me. Tell me, what purpose does that serve?

Ah, yes, baconpussy. Because I disagree with you, I must be a big fat loser, because only big fat losers would disagree with something so obvious and simple (except if it were so obvious and simple, wouldn't there be a lot less fat people?). Oh, and by talking about my own life I'm whining. Yes, of course. Of course. Just keep proving my original point for me. It's quite generous of you.

@44, when was the last time you personally spoke to a morbidly obese shut-in about their diet so that you could speak intelligently about their intake?

Seriously.

Actually, Dave M, you proved my whole point for me. Dan's created a nice safe space here for people to come rag on fat people. And when people like me come here and post comments about their experiences being fat, people like you feel compelled to tell us we're doing it wrong, you minimize our experiences that we share with you, you dismiss everything we say with "well-meaning" advice about what we should be doing to be more acceptable, the "right" kind of people.

It just strikes me as sadly funny is all.

Dave M, no, it's not that simple. Not everyone's body works the same. It's great that diet and exercise worked for you. For a couple of years they worked for me, and now they don't -- nothing changed in my diet and workout habits, but the weight came back, and since my physical health is textbook perfect aside from the fact that I am fat, there's nothing that can be done about it outside of weight loss surgery, which my insurance will not cover because I'm not fat ENOUGH. This is just they way I am built. It's much healthier to accept that and maintain my already healthy lifestyle rather than to do whatever it would take to get skinny enough so that people will treat me like a human being.

I am not going to debate this subject with you. I am tired as hell of debating this subject with people like you and people like Dan Savage, people who insist that I'm just not trying hard enough or just not doing the right things and if I would just try what they did to lose weight it would totally work for me because it worked for them and it's just so simple. Stop assuming that you know what anybody else's body is going to do based on what your own body did.

Dan, you're just reaping what you've been sowing for quite some time. Every time you make one of your posts that mocks fat people or mocks the fat acceptance movement (which is just about fat people saying treat us like human beings and not like pieces of shit, gosh, so much like the gay pride movement!), the comments are a giant shitstorm of people saying hateful things about fat people, making horrible dehumanizing jokes, or spewing a big pile of unhelpful "facts" like "it's easy, it's just calories in/calories out, why are you fatties so dumb that you can't lose weight omg it's soooo easy."

Sometimes there are sympathetic/empathetic commenters, and thank heaven for them. But the majority of the comments on all your weight-related Slog posts? They're fucking horrible, and you wouldn't stand for it if the comments were about any other group other than fatties.

So you're shocked and dismayed that a bunch of Slog tippers sent you that article, all "LOL let's mock the dead fat guy!!!"? I don't understand your reaction. You've created a nice safe space here for exactly that attitude. You've encouraged it.

Nov 4 haunted leg commented on SECB Denied Face Time with Susan Hutchison.
@16, it's pretty easy to figure out since it's also the by-line of this post -- "by the Stranger Election Control Board". There you go. SECB.

Oh shit, I totally remember this family from Wife Swap, the parents were basically totally insane. I hope the kid's okay...
