Can we get rid of the fat bashing threads?

[Anonymous]

Or at least just only keep one that is "most helpful".

There's

"No thin people at my family reunion"
"Why are women unashamed to be fat"

Both are just threads ripping fat people apart. What do you think Jeff?

Well, I'm kind of fat. So, those threads are already on my bad side and I haven't even read them yet. I'll take a look.

Okay, I locked one with a link to the other. I noticed that thin people were also getting bashed. We should unite against normal-weighted people.

And while we're at it, let's ban all woman-hating, rich- or poor-hating, WOH- or SAH-hating, and racist posts. Um, yeah.

Nobody said anything about "banning". Just consolidating similar threads. I do that all the time on a host of subjects. But, just think if we didn't have to worry about, let alone consider banning, woman-hating, rich or poor-hating or other-hating posts? Is all that hatred really productive?

Oh, come on. Conservative hating/bashing is half the fun around here (more so in Politics but a fair amount in OT and Money).
