Well more specifically I was backing up Dr. Troll in his condemnation of whiners. I didn’t read what his post was about, so I guess that makes my post kind of an aside.
What bothers me most is when people go “Oh my god, I’m so fat! I’m gonna cry!”
I will never EVER give them a compliment, even if they really aren’t fat. It’s just a pathetic thing to do.
OpalCat may be overweight, but that can be changed with diet and exercise.
You, Dr Love, will always be a stupid assmunch, and a boil on the backside of humanity.
Looking at old pictures of me, I realized I started to gain wait around 3rd grade (i used to be stick thin before that). I cant stand old pictures of me. But, now I feel that i’ve actually grown into my weight (I know i’m “cute” according to many of the female dopers who have seen my pics :)).
I do want to lose the weight i have put on because It’s not healthy for me. I’ve found that restricting how much I eat has helped greatly (when I started I was 260 lbs). I’ve lost about 15 pounds (but I’ve levelled off). I plan to take the bike out and ride it around the block several times every other day (there’s a rather large hill as well as several smaller ones), and i’ve been working on cleaning up the side yard.

I never asked you for a compliment, buttcheese. I named the thread title what I did to make it more interesting. I just got sort of a wakeup call when I found that photo, and it jostled me into action. I felt like sharing that with the group. Yes, it did make me cry when I found the photo–and it made me decide to do something about it. It gave me motivation. If you can’t deal with people starting threads about what is going on in thier lives, might I suggest you stay the hell out of MPSIMS?

Try,
“Oh my god, I’m so fat. I am going to do something about it.”
So this is what it feels like… when doves cry.

I think that Dr. Love should be tied down and poked with needles till his skin is bleeding from every angle…I’m not talking acupuncture, I am talking sewing needles with enough strength to hurt.
Dr. Love,
You’re obviously an uncaring person, people like you are not welcome here. If you have a problem with a poster, use the PIT, not MPSIMS. This is not the place to be mean or piss on others…that’s why The Pit is there.
So far you have proven to be what we call a “troll”, I bet you are an old troll in new clothes.
Karma,
I think your comments are unwarranted… Opal is in need of support here and your comments only undermine that. I think you should reconsider your postings and consider apologizing to her for your remarks.
==============================
Opal,
You know, most of us are here to support you. Please remember that.

I don’t know who Mark Serlin is/was (before my time). This cretin exhibits a lot of Cyb’s characteristics, but hey, a-holes are a-holes are a-holes, right? Like Roseanna Roseannadanna (sorta) says: “If it’s not one goddam freak, it’s another…”
(Anyway, sorry for the hijack)
Oh yeah, he’s also IssacN.
Are you not a native English speaker? Are you dyslexic? is there something preventing you from comprehending my posts? I AM doing something about it. Are you really so hung up over the name of the thread? Get a grip, moron. Tell you what. When you start threads, you can name them. When I start threads, I’ll name them. You really need to get over this obsession. It isn’t healthy.

My comments are an expression of my opinion of people who externalize low self-esteem to gain sympathy. I wasn’t even talking about Opalcat specifically.
Does Opalcat really need my support? Who am I to her? A poster on a board she frequents. She does not know my name, age, appearance, intelligence level (don’t even bother with a lame insult on that one) or attitudes in life (oh… right… I’m a very hateful person… uh huh…). What prompted me to make my comment, in fact, was Dr. Love’s comment.
By the way, Dr. Love is an ass, and I’m surprised that he’s received so much attention.
Well I would hope not, since I didn’t do that. I didn’t post here to get sympathy. I didn’t “externalize low self-esteem”. Realizing how overweight I am does not automatically mean I have low self esteem. Being upset when faced with an image of what I used to look like does not automatically mean I have low self esteem. Trust me, I don’t have low self esteem. Anyway, as I already said, your obsession here is rather pathetic.

And you don’t know those things about her, so shuddup.
“His eyes are as green as a fresh-pickled toad,
His hair is as dark as a blackboard,
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.”
Don’t worry OpalCat. We love you anyway.

{{{{For those that are forced into a life of the mind by the world’s limitations on them, this little hothouse seems to be just the place to hang. It’s a corner of cyberspace well inhabited by fascinating characters and vivid opinions. It’s very much alive. If your window on the world is a computer monitor, it’s not hard to see this place as your neighborhood, these people as your people. And when you don’t interact well with people in real life . . . this place is not much different.
BTW, this is NOT meant as any sort of criticism or condemnation of anybody with any kind of disease or disorder.
There’s an excellent example of this kind of strange and bad behavior I’ve been talking about. It’s happening right now on the alt.fan.Cecil Adams newsgroup. John/Cyberian is over there now, desperately trying to ignite arguments with combatants from our days on AOL, bringing up old arguments and insults he previously hurled . . . while simultaneously denying that he is/was that poster from those old days. Reading over the threads, it’s like seeing an accident happen in front of you; you don’t want to look, but you keep looking in some sort of horrid fascination. It’s beyond losing your head over a dispute, it’s miles past wanting to have the last word, imho it’s illustrative of someone with some serious problems.
Not all trolls are mentally ill; not all people that are mentally ill are trolls. But sometimes that’s the way to bet.}}}}}}}
TubaDiva wrote this to me when I posted a thread about ‘Multiple personality/Sock Puppets’. I suggested what she wrote ought to be cross stitched and put above the Straight Dope Message Board.
But, I’ve found something interesting about telling one kinda critter from another. Trolls tend to post sexual/flaming material and never be heard of again, or in a limited manner. Multiples keep popping up, rather like cutting off a tentacle off of an octopus, and it comes back again.
Karma it doesn’t matter whether you ‘hate something’ or not. You’re being a jerk which is what you’re advised not to be, in order to keep posting here.
Dr. ‘Love’, you’re NOT either of your titles, you’re a boring troll, who would never have the nerve to say what you are to anyone’s face. So go to the pit with your criticisms/and nasty remarks. You’re not welcome here.
Opal, a lotta people love you here, girl! 
When we have lost good posters, it only reinforces the desire to hold on to what and who you hold dear. Keep up the good work and ignore the brats who invade the place. They are like termites, that exterminating job just keeps on having to be done again, and again!!
