Yesterday I got this long winded hate-crossfit PM from Health_Gal and I'm just wondering if she's lurking here under another name or who the heck knows how she found me ... but that's just weird.
Actually it was TWO PMs bc it wa so long and full of links.

she's an ongoing nuissance to everyone in this group or anyone that even mentions the word 'crossfit' in the forum. Just ignore her and block her.
Check out our previous dicsussion about her:

or attack her boot camp preference like I did saying it's for "washed up former sorority girls and housewives with no real ambition in their lives to truly better themselves" or that "bootcamp is a mimicry at it's worst of it's namesake and is a disgrace to our serving men and women". She really warms up to you when you tell her that.0

^^^^^^^ LMFAO! I think I like you already. :flowerforyou:0

lol, it's sad after hearing about her for so long that she hasn't given up on her mission. But it's just too fun to toy with her and get some good one liners in. I had heard about her PMs for quite some time before she messaged me, so I was quite prepared with some comebacks. Also got to call her out on her alter ego profile JaneBShaw that does exactly the same thing, so watch for her as well.
Any fellow crossfitter is a friend of mine! :flowerforyou:0 -
I got it after my first Crossfit question yesterday! Funny.0

I still haven't received a message from her. I'm disappointed actually, I kinda feel left out ... .0

Don't worry, I'm sure you will be graced with her message soon enough!0

My reply - "Umm ... yeah. Thanks for that but ... I'm not some light-weight, panty sniffing, anal fetish zumba lover just dipping my toes in the weight room pool surfing for sausage. I think I'll take my chances with a real workout and judge the results for myself.
Thanks tho. :flowerforyou: "0 -
LOL.
That is all.0 -
I have successfully blocked her. 4 PMs in one day from phsycho b*tch is enough for me. You'd think she'd get the hint with the nasty replies, but Nooooo. :yawn:0

Post a thread in the general forums about how much you are loving Crossfit so far. It won't take her long after that.0 -

She also stalks this group and has been known to send these to new members who haven't even posted.
She is banned from posting in the main forums.
Another name she went by was Janebshaw.0 -
I got a message from her too.
When she mentioned bootcamp to me I pointed out that if she were educated at all she'd know that most of the bootcamps these days are run by Crossfit boxes or by people who are Crossfit Level 1 Certified but not affiliated with a CrossFit box! So, her "advice" would just lead people to more Crossfit!0 -

Don't worry sometimes she takes a while, I was really starting to feel left out for a bit. Then she sent me a grand total of one message. Guess making it sound like I was taking her to heart went over her head...ugh...
Thought about making the group private/closed because of her...0 -
Me to, I told her that I would pay for her membership
Every time a post something she contacts me, I play with her then block her
she is to lazy to do a real work out0 -

This actually makes me pissed of at MFP. I support her right to post her opinions in the main forums. While I think it's a little crazy, even to PM people from the main forums. But my understanding is that the groups are so we can discuss things her without dealing with the same distractions as the main forum. And even though she isn't part of the group, she is still targeting members/following this group. I can't understand why she is allowed to continue.0 -

What makes it even more annoying is we've blocked her, but she still has access to the group. Which I think is since we are an open group MFP might not actually block anyone...so hence she still reports posts which goes to the admins of the group. But if we closed the group it would mean that people joining MFP couldn't easily get access they'd have to be added (if I remember correctly) or at least request access.
Switching to being a closed group is an option, but isn't exactly a great one. Considering she just is annoying and it seems worth giving people a chance to join the group versus leaving folks out in the cold.0 -

Exactly why it makes me mad.0 -
well, it's my opinion that we just ignore her. The more we fuel her, the more she messages and inflames us. It's kinda like making stupid people famous... because people like Lindsay Lohan really shouldn't have spotlight, but we keep watching and it encourages her to misbehave.
Lets stop making this stupid person famous (or infamous in her case).0 -

I officially have a crush on you.0 -
Report her. This is harassment.
The Terms of Service say that MFP can block her - but I don't know if they are just reluctant, or if they actually don't have the technology.

Subsequent to termination, MyFitnessPal reserves the right to exercise whatever means it deems necessary to prevent Your unauthorized use of the Website and Services, including without limitation technological barriers such as IP blocking and direct contact with Your Internet Service Provider.
She has also violated multiple forum guidelines: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines10. Multiple Accounts Are Not Allowed
Creating a second account for the purposes of deceiving other members or to work around a Forum suspension is not permitted and will be grounds for a permanent ban from the site.23. Do Not Troll or Harass Groups
There will be groups with opinions that you do not agree with. Do not use groups as a way to harass or insult others.
The proper way to deal with this is to report her to the MFP community manager.b) If you have concerns about another poster, or wish to report a guideline violation, the only appropriate venue is to use the Report Post link or to message a moderator or Olivia, MFP's Community Manager.

So, her "advice" would just lead people to more Crossfit!
When I told her someone at our Bootcamp in our box hyper-extended their elbows doing bear crawls her response was something like "oh I'd never do those and I'd quit by boot camp if they did them?"
Really? Do you pick flowers and sing to the rising sun in your boot camp? Because I thought that boot camps, like CF, were about pushing you into areas you would not visit on your own.0 -
Haha I got my message back in May. I was just simply asking in the post about trying crossfit. She sent me a warning email. I joined a crossfit box and posted about my 1st class, she sent me another message lol0
