I should have titled it something else but I can't edit the title now.

I started it for those of us who are overweight as a thread where we could discuss amongst ourselves the issue of how people abuse us in the public domain.
Oh I don't know. I think part of being okay with who we are is accepting that others may not necessarily share our views and that's alright. We're good any way.

It doesn't make it okay for people to come up and insult others, but disagreement can foster understanding - which is what we all want - if we are open to it.
