Susan, on one hand I see your point. It's as if the support community is turning their back on someone who obviously needs support.

Honestly, I don't even know exactly why she was here. I read her threads about her interactions with truck drivers and her unhealthy obsession with her therapist, and after that I just avoided those threads.

I did the one thing we're always told to do - ignore someone if you don't like what they have to say.

When the thread was started about fast food being okay or not, I weighed in with my opinion on fast food and was shot down and accused of flaming, as was another member. Some tried getting the thread back on track, but she insisted on turning it into one about being an attack on her personally, and started calling us fat, out of shape, and in wheelchairs and that we are just jealous because she is trim and shapely and has good blood counts. I can assure you, I'm neither fat nor out of shape, and both of my legs serve me just fine, and my last cholesterol result was 127 nonfasting.

Then she decided to take matters into her own hands, off the board. I think this type of knee-jerk reaction is something that she needs help with in real life, not something that can be nipped on a message board.

She tried to take back her actions by emailing the agency, trying to find a phone number for them, and buttering me up with the offer of "getting me" a Golden Retriever ASAP. When none of that worked, THAT'S when she decided to come clean. Had she gotten away with it, who's to say she wouldn't have done it again since she got away with it once? You could also reason that "well, maybe she learned her lesson." Not if she'd gotten a positive result out of it, I don't think so.
