I assumed from the level of bitterness that she was banned after some epic flamewar in comments, not that she never got to comment in the first place.

Lol yup SweetMachine, it is indeed the same Susan who is all over WA(n)TRD, AND Powells, AND Nabble, AND apparently trying to post on The Fat Nutritionist’s blog along with numerous other places trying to tear apart FA, Kate, Shapely Prose, and everyone involved. It seems that she still feels the need to whine and complain about it. If it wasn’t so sad and pathetic I would be inclined to laugh, but it IS sad and pathetic and I just end up feeling sorry for her. What he life must be like if she needs to cling to something so trivial.

You’re welcome, OlderThanDirt. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to resist the urge to yell “Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack!” at people in similar arguments, because they wouldn’t get the hilarity of the reference. I might have to start doing it and just include a link in the post, because life is too short to not be bringing up that kind of genius as often as possible.

Ok let me get this straight…fat people are supposed to overcome evolution to lose weight, but evolution excuses him from basing his opinion of women on anything other than sexual attraction/thinness?

YES, Forestroad! DON’T YOU SEE? (P.S. Excellent analysis. I am well getting that out in my next evo psych argument.)

Welllllll, SM, I’m assuming it’s the same Susan because she posted the link TO THIS THREAD over there, complete with a rundown of the post contents (“I was compared to a person with OCD”* etc), and when we started lolling about it both here and there got all “They’re still making fun of me over there, which I think says more about them than about me”* about it. (It says I’m finding it HILARIOUS, in case anyone’s wondering.)

BUT in a comment yesterday or the day before she asserted that she was actually a different Susan to that Susan, despite being…clearly the same Susan.

So you can draw yuor own conclusions, or something?

*All Susan quotes from WAntRD are paraphrased from memory, ’cause fucked if I’m going over there to check them.

Yeah, stealing is just like working for the oppressed just like exercise=moral act or “people who are good at some sport”=heroes. Spending all of your time focused on your goals for yourself and achieving them with a great deal of work and effort proves that you can work for yourself very, very hard. It does not prove that should be a role model for small children or that you should be congratulated and thanked for your contributions.

Well exactly! People fight through cancer, hostile divorces, poverty and the Somme, but Susan! Susan devoted 7 years of her life to restricting food and exercising. Susan needs a medal! Nay, a monument! OH, IF WE COULD BUT ALL BE SUSAN.

I’m flashing back to Jack and his can of tomatoes, which was my favourite Vine back when I used to read it all the time. Oh, Jack. No one understands him! He and Susan could be friends.

Susan lost weight! And kept it off! And, while presumably every other person in her life has told her she is the strongest, bravest, most hard-working little soldier ever for managing to do it, she comes here, and nobody will tell her how great she is. Who among us can’t relate to being upset for years when random internet strangers refuse to congratulate us on what we see as a major accomplishment, especially when said strangers are obviously losers incapable of doing the same thing?

No wonder WATRD is so freaking depressing.

Thanks. I might have to make this my homepage.

(sorry, can’t make that italic on my iPhone)

FJ, that totally resonates. Omg.

Another reason not to fixate on weight- it can make you carry an Internet grudge for years! ;-)
