Some coward posted an anonymous comment on my LJ and then removed it before I could respond to it, so I thought I'd post it here so that anyone who has inclination to could mock and deride this person. Hey, seems fair, yes?

(My journal, my rules: if you agree with this cowardly fuckwit, keep it to yourself.)

Hi,

I was just skimming and skimming through the MD board and I found your
post-- you said you weren't posting there anymore and I figured i would
respond to what you said...

Now, goodness it has been a while-- but still here is what I think.

Lots of times people make excuses for their size.

The truth as an expert sees it should not offend-- unless of course the
expert is wrong.

Being fat will lead you to dying earlier and a host of health problems.

I am completely anti-fat.

I don't respect people who do not take responsibility for their health
and I wouldn't hire them.

I guess that makes me a bigot... like most of American society.

I won't address the bigot directly, but let me tell you what I think.

I respect people who attach names to their hate speech more than I do anonymous haters. I don't respect people who don't take responsibility for their mental health. That includes bigotry. I think an attack to one is an attack to all. I think the data around correlations between size and health is skewed at best and outright fraudulent at worst. I think anybody who sucked on their mama's tit is an expert at something, but that doesn't mean they're right or worthy of my ear. I think I'd prefer serenejournal's company to a bigot's anyday, and if I had money to give her a job, she'd certainly get it over a cowardly bigot.

Agreed, 100 percent. Those who don't have the guts to attach their names to their positions are not, in my opinion, worth listening to.

As for Mr. or Ms. Anonymous: educate yourself (http://junkfoodscience.blogspot.com/) before you offer your unsolicited opinion. All is not as you appear to believe.

I followed you over to your LJ from the "MD" board too. I cancel out the anonymous cowardly hater. Reading what you have to say on this issue has helped me in many, many ways. Thank you!
