Skinny pigs

Wow gotta say I am shocked that guy was such a D-bag on public media, I mean The first thing any intelligent legitmate business owner that wants to stay in business knows is that you NEVER come back and attack someone on the internet especially your own clients, it makes you look petty and quite frankly really aggressive and stupid, and nobody (with half a brain) wants to patronize that kind of business.....and this is apparently the case because of his responses he is losing a lot of business. I actually don't have a problem with calling it skinny pigs, I just don't give a crap about wording like that, I am not that soft and there are more important things to get your panties in a twist over. It was his responses that really turned me off and riled me up.2

All i did was ask a question! Why is everyone taken the piss and blowning it in to some its not!
Can honestly say this group is so judgemental!
You'll find that most people on MFP are like this and most of your responses will be like this. If you're have gastric bypass surgery, you're a cheater. If you take diet pills, you're stupid, etc. If someone decides they don't like what you're saying, it's a personal attack and they race to claim that they're being victimized. If you want an opinion on these boards feel free to put yourself out there but be ready for people who go straight to telling you all of the ways {they think} you're doing it wrong.
you'll find MOST people on MFP want folks to succeed in their goals. I've never seen people saying those who get surgery are cheaters (at least those who have more than a handful of posts) - but we caution against the use of tools that are potentially dangerous in the long-term (i.e. diet pills that are unregulated and can have serious health risks)7 -

Are you serious? Who in this thread is claiming to be a victim? Who in this thread has "attacked" the OP? Who told OP they are wrong? Do you have any input for the OP, or did you just come on here to deride the MFP community?3 -
SNOWFLAKEY VICTIMS Funny how I'm the bad guy, y'all just sitting taking pot shots at me and my business then play the victim when I don't like down and take it — Skinnypigs® Fitness (@SkinnypigsUK) October 17, 2017
DID I MENTION FEMINAZIS? You don't even realise that modern feminism is so polluted with self loathing, man hating looms. We have equality now, it's a good thing — Skinnypigs® Fitness (@SkinnypigsUK) October 17, 2017
CAT LOVING FEMINAZIS I'm sorry you are choosing a behavioural pattern that will lead you to inevitable loneliness and misery.. and lots of cats
Just gonna put this here, I mean what does the guy expect. There are ones even worse than this. Talk about looking petty.4 -

some may feel like gastric bypass is cheating but many here lost the weight on their own and didnt need the surgery and others had it and gained the weight back. its hardly cheating as you cant eat as much as you want and still lose even with the surgery. you are on very low calories for a long period of time(hubbys friend just had it several months ago).
as for personal attacks,some may see it as that but many times its because we see the same questions being asked over and over and we want people to lose the weight the healthy way and not waste money on gimmicky products or those that can be dangerous(such as diet pills). one lady on here can tell you her horror story while taking diet pills. many others can tell you the health issues they developed using them.
when it comes to posting a question on a public forum you are opening yourself up to all kinds of opinions. you either take the ones you dont like with a grain of salt and move on or feel like you are being attacked. most of us try to support others here,but if we see people wasting money on products that have proven not to do things,or we think there maybe better alternatives to losing weight(such as counting calories) then many of us will suggest trying that first. some may truly need the surgery if their health is at risk and thats fine. But you know what they say about opinions.1 -

@singingflutelady Read what I wrote; I didn't say anything about what he said or didn't say. I'm addressing the poster's annoyance about the tone of the responses she's getting.2 -

"Is any one doing skinny pigs and when did you see a different in the scales also how offen do you go?"
Well if we are being honest then no, most(looking back I don't think anyone actually did) really didn't answer her question. They saw that the guy was a D-bag (which he really is, I wouldn't patronize his business after the things he said) and kinda went on the offensive. Her being on the defensive and not getting an actual answer to the question she asked set her off.....which is understandable but at the same time didn't help her case. This was kinda just a *kitten* show lol
I will also say that ccruz is exaggerating when she says MOST people on MFP are like that or do that. First off there is no way she can know that for sure and secondly it never makes you look smart to tar almost an entire group of people with the same brush. Makes you seem like you jump to conclusions without all the information.5 -
Another diet fad I can happily ignore. A quote comes to mind:
A man has to be Joe McCarthy to be called ruthless. All a woman has to do is put you on hold. Marlo Thomas
