""NO VERBAL ATTACKS! NO NAME CALLING! NO BASHING! THE OVERWEIGHT! NO NASTY PICTURES POSTED! This will be a thread about getting healthy and no attacks will be tolerated."

All these threads should be looked upon as such... "

I agree. It is a shame you have to tell adults this. Or even children for that matter. Since people seem to be respecting this, then are gross names or gratuitous pictures of persons with problems ever necessary? Shock. You are proving there can be a dignified discussion about weight.

So far so good. I'm hoping it stays this way.

Yes. Everyone knows it's wrong, and it's just bad behavior whether they are children or adults. The really odd part is that those who are notorious bashers and the like, don't even like being made fun of, themselves. So they think if they subscribe to the theory of, bash first before you're bashed, they're the better person. But that's just the philosophy of the devil...
