On the contrary, I think people LOVE the honesty on this forum, but no-one appreciates constantly being told they are a waste of time and that they have no right being here if they deviate.

There is a thing called a "bully", which is described as:

"A blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people."

There is also a thing called "diplomacy".... maybe some people could instill some of that into their honesty.

Don't kid yourself that it's the HONESTY that we don't like around here.

I wasn't going to say anything about this mess anymore, but since you brought it up..... again....

Hi cocopop,
I have never on here seen anybody being told that "they are a waste of time and that they have no right being here if they deviate." let alone "constantly"

Where did you get that from?

SMS has been a great supporter & helpful to a lot of people on this forum and is allowed to have an opinion, like everybody else on here.
I can't for the life of me, work out how you can call him a "bully"!

You would not have this forum if it was not for the likes of SMS and others.

Shell - a few examples are below. People don't seem to understand that it is not WHAT these people are saying that is objectionable, it is the way they are saying it. They are putting a lot of people off and they need to tone it down or back off.

Quote: (Re deviators) Some people are just weak, and/or stupid. Doesn't mean we have to buy into it, and lend it energy.

Quote: What's more interesting is the "justifications" for deviations. Frankly, there aren't any justifications for it.... Self-gratification before common sense.

Quote: Deliberate deviations during the program just tells me a person is weak.

Quote: If you continually deviate you are wasting your time, my time and everybody else's time who posts into your diary trying to help you.

Quote: But this is not a pity party. This is a forum to support those who REALLY WANT TO LOSE THE WEIGHT AND REMAKE THEIR LIFESTYLES into a healthy one.

Quote: If you deviate, you're not on the programme. If you're not on the programme, you shouldn't be in a position to pass judgement on the Cohen's programme.

Quote: If you deviate often ... don't kid yourself that you are on the Cohen's programme. You're not.

Quote: For Cohens to work, you need to be deviation free. If you are deviating... then you are not on Cohens. If you're not on Cohens, what are you doing here ?

Not one of them actually said anybody is a "wast of time", it is saying that by deviating their actions are a wast of time.
