[QUOTE="zand, post: 1519398, member: 85197"] Now I am thinking back to [B]why[/B] they did what they did. There's always a reason why someone behaves badly. I remember posting in the Spring of 2014. I was quite a newbie then. Another real newbie (first and only post) entered a thread midway and asked 'can someone please tell me how to lose weight' . She didn't say she was diabetic, there was no info on her profile. I replied and suggested that she cut out/reduce the big 'white carbs' - bread, pasta, rice, flour and potatoes etc. The next poster was a prominent poster who didn't like the LCHF message. She said 'that's the problem with you LCHF folk, you just assume others can't eat things just because you can't, you don't tell them to use their meter to find out for themselves'. The question I answered was about weight loss, not blood glucose levels. I still consider I gave good general weight loss advice. I was really upset and actually cried. I felt bullied because I followed LCHF. I had thought I was posting as me, zand, but apparently others thought I was part of a gang of LCHFers. So after that I was more aware of what was going on and 'sided' with 'more of my own kind'. I noticed others being bullied just because they were promoting LCHF. If this nastiness against those who followed LCHF had never happened then that other forum would never have been set up. We need to look at the bias that caused these actions, not the actions themselves. The bias 3 years ago was firmly against LCHF. Now though it's gone the other way and I can see the same thing happening in reverse. [/QUOTE]
