Re: Moderators & Gold Standard

[Guest guest]

I agree with the idea and irritation about the RNY being referred to

as the gold standard. I think that it is because it is more readily

available. Ford vs. Volvo is great!

recognized the equinesque comments she made about herself.

moderates another list that is for WLS support (no particular

procedure focus.) If it is the same person I am thinking of, she

attaches her own comments at the top of EVERY email that is posted to

the list prior to it being sent out to the group (a pretty active list

too.) That really is such a controlling way of handling a list. I

have not seen such biased comments on this other list, but then, I am

not as actively reading those posts.

It's easy to find a Ford dealer and some may refer to it as the " gold

standard " American car, but that doesn't mean it's better - just more

widely available, kwim??

it must be the same moderator. Nonnie is her name, and she's a total " RNY

is the way to go " person, which is such a crock. She was totally attacking

DSers...told one that if she really cared about her health, she'd have the

RNY and stop fighting the ins company. Bitch.

Sorry...it's been really pissing me off.
