Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Wow I must have missed something while I was offline for a few days recouping from surgery!! I agree with Martha about a big controversy starting over hurt feelings and words being misconstrued. Sexuality changes big time after weight loss surgery and I for one like the feeling of being able to express it in here and get some honest advice. If I was looking for a religous point of view I would go to my priest. WLS changes sooooo many aspects of our lives and we should be able to discuss them. If we dont like what some one is saying, state your different opinion, or hit the delete button. If I had a question about sexuality issues I would want a variety of experiences shared so I could glean from them what works for me and what doesnt.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi all, Don't know what this is all about but I have to say I agree with the delete key advice. If this is on the passion part issue, I went to one recently and found it totally offensive. I waited till a discreet moment and left the other guests to enjoy themselves--same concept as the delete key. When I saw the subject line on passion parties, I just hit delete because it is not something I'm interested in at this point in my life. I joined this list fully expecting to meet diverse people and different points of view. I'll be 47 tomorrow and I've learned that not everyone shares my point of view or morals (oh surprise, surprise!) but then again, so what? If I don't like what I'm readng DELETE!!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I knew I liked you, Martha!!! : - ) - Lesa - GET OVER IT Ramona, dear, puh-leeeeease. Perhaps you don't know that this list has been here before in just the last few months. Someone said something; someone else took offense; there was some (well-intended) censorship, many disagreements with that, major hurt feelings, and anyone who wasn't dead or a bloodless zombie became afraid to express themselves openly on this list for fear of offending or getting censored. People left the list in droves, and then we decided that WLS is a BIG WIDE TOPIC with room for all of us (yes, even non-Christian sex maniacs... Like me). Censorship was stopped with the understanding that no frank obscenity or nastiness would be tolerated. Some people returned, but a lot of people went elsewhere to lists that don't give a s--t what you say as long as it relates to WLS and personal growth. Outta the closet: I used to go out with a porn writer. My best friend is a trans-gendered queer person. I'm Buddhist, I'm a nurse, I'm 51, I've done sex education for cancer patients and AIDs home care. NOTHING shocks me. I will put up with quite a lot if others will welcome and appreciate the wild kind of experience I bring to this group. On most lists I belong to, really nasty people get told off by the civilized types, so most lists self-regulate that way. Otherwise, if you're offended by posts, I say use the Delete key.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I was afraid to respond to the post about this not being the place to talk about a party for adult orientated material because I am new and didnt want to get anyone mad at me... but I changed my mind. I understand that some people might be uncomfortable with sexuality. But some might be offended by talk of poop too. Both are natural human fuctions. If we cant speak freely then what is the point of this group? If you dont like it, just hit delete and go on to the next post. I for one would think alot of women and men would love to buy lingerie or adult products to celebrate their new bodies. I know I would feel a bit more sexy. I actually know a lady that had never been intimate because of her weight and her feelings about her body. She had WLS and she loves her new body and is now engaged... she is 42 years old. Just my opinion. Kym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Martha- I agree totally, all these things are facts of life and so many things change with this surgery, not just the numbers on the scale. People may think they are all alone in thier feelings about sex or relationships and come to find out if they post something on it here, a bunch of people can relate (I am thinking of gemello and his relationship struggles of recent)and may have been too shy to post things. Most of the time is opens up a great topic of conversation. I think for the most part people should take want they can from the group...you dont have to agree with everything that is being discussed...move on to the next post if you arent interested in the topic or it doesnt apply to you. People take things WAY too seriously....just because people talk about sex or god or whatever, its not a personal attack on your beliefs, they are just facts of life that some of us are or might in the future be dealing with...we come from a wide background (no pun intended)with diverse beliefs but we are here to support each other on this journey which affects so many aspects of our lives.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Okay...I'm finding that there is a fine line between "solicitation" and sincere recommendations. That will make the moderator's job more difficult. I am grateful that others have suggested companies, products, and web sites on this list...so there are more gray areas than not. Tough job - and no easy answers. Frustrating! Laurie W. Re: Re: GET OVER IT HI Martha and everyone else, The reason for my response to the email was not so much as to the subject but as to the fact that to me it seemed that the person was looking to sell something. You all may think what you may but that was the only concern that I had I look at our home page and it does state there about not using the group site to get clients. 2. NO advertising, soliciting, or looking for customers. However, all members are encouraged to discuss their experiences (pro and con) with a particular program and/or a particular product. From what I understood about those type of parties it is also so that you will be purchasing from the person who is giving this party. This was my only concern. After reading a few of the emails that people have sent in regard to my email I am considering leaving the group. I don't know what the original email said because I never saw it but I guess we interpret the rules to fit our own needs. I don't believe that I was being a prude or what every you may think. Nor are there any hurt feelings about the feedback As moderator I take my job seriously for the better of the group. Ramona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Ramona: I am so sorry I didn't write supporting you in the beginning. I knew you were one of our moderators. I too thought this party sounded like things would be for sale, so I understood your motives completely. Being just a week pre-op, other subjects are first on my mind, so I just used the delete key freely and frequently. No member of this group, certainly not one who has contributed so generously for so long, should be subject to the verbal pummeling you were. I appreciate the work you do, and implore you, please, Do NOT LEAVE the group. Were I you, I'd probably resign as moderator and leave that work to someone else, but I hope you will not even do that. This group is as good as it is because you are one of its leaders. Thank you for all you do.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Actually if you go back and LOOK through the posts, you will see that NOWHERE, at ANYTIME, did ANYONE, post about the party. It was posted on another list where there is not a rule about solicitation. Then someone asked HERE, what is this type of party and can preops attend. All I did was explain that YES anyone can attend, the caveat being no children, and you must be female over 18. I can't even see a deleted post prior to the post asking what a passion party is, and since the person who is cohosting the party with me would NEVER post the party on THIS board, the only mention of the party came from a post asking what one was and could a preop attend. NO solicitating was done and if you don't know which group to look at, you still dont know when the party is. Yet MY post in response to what a passion party is was deleted, and one can only assume then if there was no soliciting, that the content itself was offensive. I also can't find Ramona's initial post that says it was offensive. The history of this list shows a total of TWO posts that were deleted after the initial post asking what a passion party is, 13400 and 13403... assuming those are my response to the post asking what one was, and Ramona's post saying the post was offensive, then nothing else has been deleted, meaning the party information was NEVER posted here. If I posted the information for the party, told you when it was, and what time to be there, and all the details, that would be soliciting. Therefore the post that it was " offensive " should have specifically said there is a no soliciting rule in which case you would have my response above, so that it isn't assumed that " offensive " means because of the sexual content. Prohibited would have been a better term to use. I was simply answering a question that someone specifically addressed on THIS board. All that said, Ramona, please don't feel the need to leave... the censorship is NOT an issue that anyone has with you, its with the fact that this board once again is being moderated WITHOUT warning or contacting of " offending " members. If I had received an email that said " Hey , great you're telling this person what a passion party is, but next time, don't mention that you're having one okay " , that would have been fine with me. As a once fat person, if someone else is having fun and Im not invited, I want to know why... the response was simply to say no you aren't being told you can't come, and this is what we're doing. > HI Martha and everyone else, > The reason for my response to the email was not so much as to the subject > but as to the fact that to me it seemed that the person was looking to sell > something.
