sometimes you need to be cruel to be kind and i have no problem being the person everyone loves to hate. it had to be said and i said it - no regrets besides the HTFU comment.
Darryn, enough is enough.
While I appreciate the apology that went with this comment, I'm afraid you are still missing the point, Darryn. First of all, I'm sorry, but no, you do NOT have to be "cruel to be kind." That's just a catchy song lyric, not a principle we espouse here at KA. More importantly, what you said did NOT "have to be said" because what you said was not the least bit helpful. The people here are adults who make their own choices for their own reasons, and as several people have said to you--including perhaps the sites most ardent supporter of the NSD--the diet does NOT work for everyone. Even if it did, it is obvious that you are still missing the point that people here do not need to be chastised or belittled into making what another person thinks is the right choice for them. The best thing you can do is let this topic die--you have made your point, so as an administrator of this site, I am asking that you please do not add any more fuel to the fire. If you cannot answer other members in a civil tone, then it is best that you simply leave this thread alone and move on to other matters. For the last time, it is not your role to instruct others on how to live their lives, nor does this site need anyone to fill such a role.
If you have any questions about this post, or any questions about why your posts in this thread have caused such a furor, please address them in a PM to myself or one of the other administrators (our names appear in red). Thank you.
Brad
