• Response to Eating Disorders Comment

  @MusicIsMyImaginaryFriend - I'm sorry but I'm going to have to burn you
  for your comment.  I don't usually burn people for commenting and
  saying their piece whatever it is, however crazy it is--since people
  have the freedom of thought & speech in America--and frankly I
  enjoy reading all types of comments from hateful to complementary.  But
  your response is so deliciously, rhetorically, manipulative, I must respond (in Dr. Laura fashion).

  You have fair warning.  This WILL be unpleasant so stop reading if you feel that you can't handle criticism or verbal poinards:
  

  
  1.  Learn to read & think critically. 
  Did you read the last paragraph?  You obviously don't understand the
  meaning behind this post at all.  It has little to do with eating
  disorders and everything to do with MINDLESS NOSINESS.
  
  
  2.  Seek professional help.  A blog is NOT therapy.  Don't EXPECT people to actually CARE about your feelings, opinions, or ideas on-line. 
  That's what shrinks, family, and friends are for (If you don't have
  any--stop whining and get some--they don't fall off trees, you know). 
  Don't read or ask questions if you know you're not going like the
  response or have an emotional breakdown because of it.
  
  
  3.  I'm not going to read your blog.  You're right.   I don't care about you or your feelings.  WHY? Because  I don't NEED to understand; because your feelings are nothing but
  bits, bytes, and cyphers to me--you're neither friend, family, or
  comrade.  We've never  laughed or cried, suffered or enjoyed anything, together.  Who are you to me to demand anything from me--to appeal for my sympathy?
  
  YOUR LIFE AND YOUR STRUGGLES ARE NONE MY BUSINESS!
  
  
  4.  Your condition is about control. 
  My good buddy Lawrence-Patrick--who I happen to care deeply about--has
  a serious eating disorder.  And he understands it comes from his need
  for control, controlling others, controlling himself, etc.  It's
  horrific to watch him eat cookie after cookie; 40+ in 20 minutes.  And
  that's when his other buddies and I have to step in to stop him.  WE
  CARE.  Why?  Because he's one of us, OUR buddy, OUR family.  MORE
  IMPORTANTLY:  he asked us to keep him accountable.  It's our business
  because he's our brother and he made it our business.
  

  
  
  Get a grip.  Get some real help.  Stop trying to control others with
  emotional manipulation.  Stop trying to find salvation or sympathy from this
  cesspool we call Internet Blogging.  You're not going to get it here.
