Further – taking your example, you could easily fill in the blanks around here: "NOOO, you don’t understand, (Lynn / Opal / Tuba) is truly (battling health issues / an arteest on another plane / unpaid and sick of your shit) and how dare you (call her on her contradictions / mock her self absorption / threaten litigation)?! Constant refrain from the peanut gallery, lather, rinse, repeat.

Oh absolutely. I’m talking about the “crowd”, not the knowledgeable. Let’s face it, when it comes to certain posters on this board they will be slated for minor “infractions” that others will receive a pass on, because other posters either don’t feel like or aren’t capable of attacking the actual problem. Of course we know this thread never was about **Stoid** ’s pie consumption (let alone **Lynn** ’s), but it’s an easy cheap shot so let’s just drag it in, shall we?

I think his point was that someone’s popularity on a message board will affect how others defend/decry their eating habits. Thus, Ms. Type 1 diabeetus was heavily defended by her supporters, but we’re all piling on to **Stoid** and **Lynn** ’s eating habits because we hate them.

So, along those lines (poss. defense of **Stoid** and **Lynn** ), I feel like something I notice when I observe heavier women eating out (in my creepy stalker way), is that they generally eat v. little in group settings, and always drink diet sodas. Has anyone else noticed this? Are they all gorging in secret?

Yes. A lot of fat people feel self-conscious about their fat, and feel particularly self-conscious when eating in public. Probably because they suspect that stalkery types are staring at them to see what kind of food you have to eat to become a Fatty McFatterson like they are. The social discomfort means that they eat a dry salad with a lemon wedge on the side and drink diet soda while everyone is watching, and then go home and eat normally (whatever “normal” is for them) later.

Speaking from both personal experience as a formerly fat person, and also from observing fat people of my acquaintance.

I would go see a band called Midnight Pie. Especially if they sounded like a combination of Supernova and Poster Children.

_Midnight Pie_\*

\*Well, you wake up in the mornin’, you hear the inbox bell ring,  
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.  
Ain’t no food upon the table, and no pie up in the pan.  
But you better not complain, girl, you get in trouble with the man.

CHORUS:  
Let the Midnight Pie shine 'er light on me,  
Let the Midnight Pie shine 'er light on me,  
Let the Midnight Pie shine 'er light on me,  
Let the Midnight Pie shine ‘er everlovin’ light on me.

Yonder come miss Stoid, how in the world did you know?  
By the way she wields her logic, and the wisdom that she bore.  
Chip upon her shoulder, piece of pie in her hand;  
She come to see the debaters, she wants to free her man.

CHORUS  
Let the Midnight Pie shine 'er light on me,  
Let the Midnight Pie shine 'er light on me,  
Let the Midnight Pie shine 'er light on me,  
Let the Midnight Pie shine ‘er everlovin’ light on me.  
If you’re ever at the Straight Dope, well, you better do the right;  
You better not post there, you better not write at all  
Or the moderator will grab ya and the boys will bring you down.  
The next thing you know, Stoid, Oh! You’re BBQ Pit bound.\*

\*Apologies to John Fogerty.

Why are you even responding to this? Let The Prettiest Girl in Welding School fuck off back to The Giraffe Boards. She enjoys the role of “the cute mean girl” considerably, but you don’t need to legitimize it.

You still don’t matter, **Guinastasia**. Despite a quadrillion posts and your recent penchant for being SWB’s tampon, that hasn’t changed. You will always be background noise. Good day.
