[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 714906, member: 22572"] As no one in his right mind would ever suggest that an autoimmune disease like t1 is a matter of lifestyle choice, I am not sure who other than t2s you may have referring to when talking about blaming and shaming. As a t2 myself, I think my own personal experience tells me that a newly diagnosed t2 does a good job himself of experiencing blame and shame as you put it, whether rightly or wrongly, that he does not need these negative feelings reinforced by anyone else. I find the whole essence of your blame and shame argument not only offensive, but also insensitive, judgmental and more worryingly potentially highly dangerous and harmful to the likely users of these forum, some of which may be in particularly vulnerable state of minds. More so because they are obviously targeted at t2s by someone who is not t2 himself. Nonetheless, although I may disagree with your opinions very strongly, to put it mildly, they are your opinions. And it is Christmas, so Seasons greetings to you. [/QUOTE]
