Dealing with Negativity

Here is a post I left on alt.support.diet (Aug 11, 2004)

In response to continual negativity about WLS by a serial know-all - I was driven to respond:

Hey Mogroot,
I realize you have a serious power complex, however stop posting suggestive nonsense. Saying: "WLS survivors" implying there is a significant fatality risk for Lapbanding is a load of ......! If you think you are so smart 'Dr 50lbs this 500Kcals that' - Then DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THE STATISTICS BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR TRAP! Fatalities in the same time span are FAR greater in the Morbid patients that don't choose Lapband surgery.
Your crummy maths RE: 'energy vs. lbs' is flawed anyway. Why don't you look up the word metabolism? And then come back to the group and explain why cows get FAT eating FAT FREE grass. And why some guzzle-guts can down 2kgs of food in a day, with no exercising & no diseases stay STANDARD WEIGHT???
Your particular body, Mogroot, is probably in fine working order - which is why your weight responded in proportion to what you were eating and the energy you were burning. Stop talking for the masses (excuse the pun) and give your opinions a reality check - Because, Metabolic syndrome is: Insulin resistance, Hyperinsulinism, Fatty Liver, Diabetes & Hypertension LINKED.
Reason? UNKNOWN. Cure? UNKNOWN. Treatment? MANY. Your solutions are old-school. Rethink the problem. It's not just mathematics. It's biology, it's chemistry.
And now a lesson on psychology - Get a head check.
