User Insults

Mark Cruz15 said:Honestly, I don't really care what it is. If you think someone's actually breaking the rules, just start a thread in this subforum. I made a complaint about a specific issue, so let's just sit tight and see what the mods have to say about it. Peace.

Oh, wow... you've gotta be kidding me... so harsh insults don't phase you? You just don't care? And you aren't even gonna take a stand on them? How does that work?? Why didn't you open a thread for those Insults if you've had enough evidence for a year and a half now...?
In the end, it looks like you just ended up making Kimberly Ward look bad, because she was the one poking fun at Linda Harris44 for not having kids—doing it in two posts back-to-back and then insulting her on top of it.
But it’s not even Kimberly Ward who's the problem; she doesn't usually go around throwing insults constantly, unlike these guys we were quoting—Arthur Smith15, Jerry White29, and Biljka112... I haven't had a chance to dig into his history yet, but I will...
Mark Cruz15, seriously, tell me why... when Kimberly Ward opened a thread here before because Arthur Smith15 told her she was sister Veronica, why didn't you back her up? Instead, you basically said it was fine to insult her because she's spreading "sick propaganda," so you actually supported them attacking her...

I promised to share some more links regarding those instances of Insult, so here is a small collection I’ve managed to pull together quickly before work calls me back in.
I see that stormyrider28 has already gone ahead and cited some of the links I was planning to share, so I think I'll spare us all the repetition and just leave them be.

Jerry White29 Asks:
It seems to me that there isn't much of anything new happening around here lately. It honestly feels like we’re still being surrounded by nothing but people with an IQ of about 10. It’s becoming a bit much, isn't it?, a Well, look who finally decided to show up. Benny's back, and honestly, he’s being an absolute clown....

Jerry White29 said:Ethan Barrett22, I suppose there’s a certain way to describe that specific type of woman—someone who just seems to swallow everything whole, whether it's information, emotions, or perhaps even the occasional bit of nonsense thrown her way. It’s an interesting observation, I guess. She doesn't exactly push back or cause a scene; she just absorbs it all. Maybe it's a survival mechanism, or maybe she's just remarkably patient, though I suspect it might be a little bit of both. It's a peculiar quality to witness, really. I believe she actually wrote about that herself.Honestly, I think Ethan Brooks59 was just repeating what she said...

Jerry White29 said:And why wouldn't they? I suppose there might be some cases where someone has wealthy parents who are more than willing to provide for them. The real issue here—and I think we can all agree on this—is that he’s just plain dim. It isn't even about his intentions or the specific circumstances; it's simply that the guy lacks any real depth or mental sharpness. I guess you could say his lack of intellect is the fundamental hurdle we're dealing with. It’s just that he doesn't seem to grasp it, does he? He really hasn't caught on to the fact that... Because he can't land a job, he's struggling to find a partner, and honestly, he seems completely miserable and frustrated because of it.
The real question here is whether he’s even interested in women at all. If we’re judging solely by the posts Ethan Barrett22 writes to the doctor and the Guru, I’d say his focus seems much more centered on men.
No, look, we’re actually quite liberal, and... Look, I don't really care about someone's sexual orientation. That’s not my business. What actually matters to me—and I think it matters to most people—is whether they have a fundamental lack of integrity. As long as they aren't a "character" failure, we're fine.
It’s coming down...

Biljka112 As Mark Cruz15 said:There’s nothing quite like watching someone try to play the intellectual heavyweight, only to end up looking even more foolish than they did before they opened their mouth. It’s a special kind of comedy, really.

Biljka112 The user said:I suppose they simply don't have anything to think about.

Biljka112 Asks:
Since you haven't bothered to answer a single one of my questions... I suppose I’ll go ahead and declare you incompetent—and if things continue this way, I might just have to label you foolish as well.
It seems like you’re constantly churning out nothing but absolute nonsense. I’ve come to the conclusion that you might actually be an idiot.

Biljka112 Mark Cruz15 said:It’s 4:00 AM, an hour when most decent, sane people are deep in sleep, but then there's us. Honestly, it feels like GNU is just wandering aimlessly through the forums lately. It’s a bit much, if you ask me.
Are you seriously that dense? So, is your only real talent twisting people's arguments to suit your narrative?

Biljka112 said:What an absolute fool.Honestly, you seem to find the very concept of knowledge to be a joke. I suppose that explains why you were kicked out of school in the first place—you couldn't stop laughing at everything.

Biljka112 Asks:
GNU, You’re being quite silly and honestly, a bit rude.

Biljka112 Asks:
I suppose you’re going to take offense if I tell you that you're acting like a complete chicken. Because, honestly, I don't have any clones.

Biljka112 Asks:
What a total Bilmez!

Biljka112 said:He isn't just acting foolish; he actually is an idiot.

Biljka112 said:You are being completely ridiculous!
I find it quite bold of you to lecture anyone on being coherent when you aren't even making sense yourself; frankly, your input carries zero weight here. Besides, nobody even knows who you are.
And as far as being a psychologist goes, you're pretty terrible at it; I don't see any rage or sadness, just a whole bunch of rude idiots.

Biljka112 said:Bilmez doesn't understand how or why hypertension occurs, let alone how to treat it.
That's why he's posting such nonsense.

Biljka112 said:She doesn't need jail; she needs a psychiatric ward.

Biljka112 said:Ethan Barrett22, if someone as clueless as you can't even grasp the concept of fangs, how on earth are you supposed to believe people have been to the
Moon?

Biljka112 said:GNU, you're clearly too limited to wrap your head around the world around you.
The fact that you think Lydia G. is okay is just further proof of that limitation.

Biljka112 said:Ethan Barrett22, there’s really no need to keep insisting you’re being foolish, ...

Biljka112 said:Ethan Barrett22, if you’re going to quote me, at least provide some context. Of course, someone as dim-witted as you probably won't be able to grasp the point of what was said.
In your desperate attempt to look smart, you just end up looking completely ridiculous.

Biljka112 said:Look at him, acting like he isn't clueless and dense while rambling on about a lack of knowledge.
Ethan Barrett, you are practically the textbook definition of ignorance.

Biljka112 said:Listen to this whining!

Biljka112 said:He isn't pretending to be stupid. He actually is. And quite significantly so.

Well, as can be seen from the various quotes here and in previous posts, we are dealing with just three particularly problematic users whose entire history on this forum follows this exact pattern.

These insults from them have been ongoing ever since moderation stopped [/B] (a strange coincidence, don't you think? 😉) across all threads and directed at all users (as evidenced by the attached), and it's a rare occurrence to see a post from them that doesn't contain some form of insult.

So, I would kindly ask the site administration to take a look at this. 🍿

Just a quick little breakdown of a few things that GNU simply refuses to wrap his head around.

stormyrider28 Asks:
...

It’s pretty obvious to anyone paying attention that Jerry White29 spends every single post he makes hurling insults at Ethan Barrett22, calling him some kind of fake doctor or a total Guru, and he hasn't stopped this nonsense for over a year now.
Is this actually considered an insult toward other users, or is this kind of behavior just permitted around here?
...

Look, GNU, remember back on September 30, 2018? Nice shut down that whole "cancer treatment" thread because people were out there peddling straight-up lies and pure snake oil. One of the main culprits driving all that fraudulent nonsense was Ethan Barrett22, acting like some kind of high-and-mighty medical guru. To make matters worse, she even posted this:
Let me make one thing crystal clear for anyone following this thread moving forward: we have completely lost our way here, and the sense of direction has gone totally out the window. It’s gone straight off the rails. Now, look, I have absolutely nothing against discussing Alternative methods, but there is a massive, unbreakable line that we cannot cross. You cannot, under any circumstances, encourage people to disregard modern medicine or ignore the professional advice of their doctors. Nor should anyone be out here promoting methods that have been scientifically proven to be harmful and dangerous. We need to keep some level of sanity around here.

But let’s be real, Ethan Barrett22 and that self-proclaimed Guru are still out there playing doctor, handing out their unsolicited advice like they actually know what they're talking about, all while slapping some fake "scientific" study on top of it to make their nonsense sound legitimate. 😬 Those so-called "scientific" websites are nothing more than a joke.

Ethan Barrett22 Mark Cruz15 said:Look, it’s pretty obvious that sticking to raw food is the way to go if you actually care about your health, because it's significantly better for you than anything processed. When you're talking specifically about things like carrots and beets, they've got a massive amount of nutritional value that you just don't get when you cook them down. Look, I’ve seen people throwing around terms like "scientific evidence" lately as if it's some kind of magic shield to justify whatever half-baked theory they just pulled out of thin air, but let's get one thing straight: actual, verifiable scientific proof isn't just a buzzword you toss into an argument to shut people up when you're losing. It requires rigorous testing, peer review, and a level of scrutiny that most of these internet gurus couldn't handle if their lives depended on it. You can't just claim something is a fact because it feels right or because it fits your specific agenda; without the data to back it up, you're just shouting into the void and calling it expertise.Look, I can give you plenty of real-world examples where these measures don't just sit there looking pretty—they actually work as a preventative strike to stop problems before they even start, while also serving to... They can actually be a massive help when you're dealing with certain illnesses, and we're talking about serious stuff here, like even helping to combat carcinoma.

There isn't a single shred of actual scientific evidence in any of those links you provided. Seriously, where is the data? Are you even following GNU at this point?
Regarding all those times I’ve called him a total fraud, it’s pretty obvious you haven't been paying attention to the thread history. Let me spell it out for you since you seem lost. Basically, Ethan Barrett22—who honestly acts more like a self-proclaimed "expert" than anything else—is out here running around claiming that Arthur Smith15 and I are actually the same person, like we're some kind of clones. This isn't even the first time he's pulled this stunt, either. Every single time this happens, I offer him a high-stakes bet: let's run a formal verification to see if Arthur Smith15 and I are truly the same user. The terms are simple: if we are, both of us get a permanent ban, but if he's just making things up, he gets the ban. But of course, because Ethan Barrett22 isn't a man of his word and lacks any actual integrity, he refuses to step up to the plate. He loves to throw out these baseless accusations, yet he’s too much of a coward to actually back them up when challenged. 😬 Well, it’s pretty obvious why that is—it's because we're sitting right there on his ignore list. 😬
I hope it’s finally sinking in for you why he’s such a complete disaster.

So you’ve got the PZK rules to lean on, then... yet here you are, whining if things don't go exactly by the book. And honestly? That goes for everyone on this forum you've been hitting with those nasty Insults in basically every single post... You can totally just say you disagree with someone without resorting to such gross, low-blow insults. Seriously though, why do you even bother being so disrespectful??

stormyrider28 said:Well, if you've got PZK status, then feel free to complain whenever someone isn't following the rules. And that goes for every single person on this forum that you've insulted or continue to insult in every damn post you make. You can always state that you disagree with someone without resorting to such blatant, crude insults. Why on earth do you feel the need to be so insulting??

GNU, you missed the mark again. I am not offended; frankly, I couldn't care less what any of you think. That was simply one example used to demonstrate how the nonsense you're spewing just isn't true.

I also want to point out that a while back, one female member actually invited Ethan Barrett22—that high-strung crackpot and self-proclaimed Guru—to come write over in the "Gastronomy" section since they actually moderate things there.
From what I've seen, he managed to squeeze out exactly one post. Isn't it a little strange that a guy who loves to ramble on about healthy eating doesn't bother posting where he won't get "insulted"?
Or maybe the real issue is that because they actually moderate that place, people won't get away with claiming they can cure cancer with ten raw seeds or insisting that carrot juice is practically identical to human blood?

Seriously, more lies... He didn't just drop one post on the Foodie forum, he dropped several, and other people were chiming in too. But you didn't have the guts to throw an Insult back then. I don't see any reason why he’d be posting about healing on the Foodie board when that isn't even the right subforum or topic... that would be totally off-topic... I mean, he could be over there talking about landing on the Moon for all I care... good grief, what kind of nonsense are you asking... that's why we actually have health and wellness subforums specifically for those kinds of things.
And this whole thing about bone health and carrots? You're repeating it like a parrot, and we already saw a long time ago that Ethan Barrett22 never actually said that, he just linked to an article where it was mentioned... you're being so tedious with this...
And why did you dodge my question from the last post so blatantly?

stormyrider28 said:If you've got PZK, then go ahead and complain if someone isn't following the rules. And that goes for every single user you've insulted or continue to insult in every single post. You can say you disagree with someone without resorting to such gross insults. Why on earth are you insulting people so much??

Can you give me an answer?

Jerry White29 said:GNU, you missed the mark again. Honestly, I’m not offended; I couldn't care less what you all think. That was simply one example demonstrating that what you're writing just isn't factual.

I should also mention that back before things changed significantly, one female member actually invited Ethan Barrett22—that high-flying crackpot and Guru—to come write in the "Gastronomy" subforum since that area is moderated.
From what I can see, he managed to squeeze out exactly one post. Isn't it a little strange that a guy who loves to drone on about healthy eating refuses to post where he won't face any "Insult"?
Or is the real issue that because it's moderated, people won't be allowed to talk about curing cancer with ten raw seeds or how carrot juice is practically identical to human blood?

Spot on. It really is weird that he stays away from the moderated subforum. 😛

Actually, that's exactly what I was getting at in that controversial post the Guru reported as a blatant Insult. Look, I am truly not bothered by some anonymous morons hurling insults at my family. And if I want to expand on that theme: some users here spend their time tearing families apart, obsessing over our wives' anatomy, sharing "advice" on books about female pleasure, or acting completely preoccupied with our manhood—hell, they even sing praises to it.

Oh, sure, "it was just a joke." ☕

People are posting over there too, just way less frequently. But seriously, why don't Jerry White29 or any of those guys who are always looking to throw an Insult show up in the food forums to tear people apart? Why aren't they there constantly inventing mistakes in everyone's posts or repeating the same nonsense fifty times like some broken parrot? Maybe it's because the moderation over there actually keeps things under control...

stormyrider28 said:People post over there too, just way less often. And honestly, why doesn't Jerry White29 or any of those people who are constantly throwing an Insult come over to the food forums to start picking apart posts or repeating the same thing fifty times like some kind of broken parrot? Maybe it’s because they actually have moderators over there...

On the food boards, none of them ever drop comments like "oh, what brilliant idea to chop up greens and beets for a salad"—which is basically how they snarkily react to almost every single recipe from Ethan Barrett22 here.
The comments range from questioning why anyone even bothers posting recipes when you can just find everything on Google, to asking about the "wisdom" behind making a dish, whether there's Raw food cocoa available, where agave syrup comes from, or if the organic ingredients aren't sourced from somewhere outside of America...

Would they be acting like this on the food boards? Would they really?
Nah, they wouldn't. Because if they tried that crap over there, they'd be banned the very same day.

... perhaps it’s because you won't find much on Food Network regarding miraculous seeds that cure cancer, nor will you see discussions on the molecular similarities between blood and carrot juice. Instead, you get those banal "recipes" where charlatans and quacks write about blending beets and carrots, while those subservient followers of the Alternative lifestyle pass out in awe of how fine it all is...

By the way, you proponents of the Alternative lifestyle, did you completely forget about the clones? Come on, where are all those accusations now? Or are you only brave when it comes to blathering and hurling accusations outside the scope of the PZK?

Go ahead, GNU, if you haven't been exhausted by an all-night crusade for your Guru, you certainly have plenty to say about clones, so why don't you weigh in on this one too...

Linda Harris44 said:This whole thread is totally off track.
Actually, it’s Azalea who’s been throwing insults my way.
Look at how Azalea tries to belittle me: calling me names like a hen, a suck-up, an idiot, or a fool. And where are the actual posts proving it? I wasn't just sitting here talking to myself.

Azalea’s whole vibe was aggressive and confrontational. Ethan Barrett22 actually suggested she just drop it and get back to the topic, but she shot him down.
That tells you everything you need to know about her intentions.

It’s pretty weird how nobody seems to mention the posts from Biljka112 or Arthur Smith15, or as I already said, those times Azalea insulted other users.

Personally, I had no clue Azalea couldn't have kids due to health issues—I don't go hunting through her posts in other threads.
So either you all follow her every move in other sections, or you're intentionally leaking a fellow user's private info in public.

This entire discussion—this supposed "defense" of Azalea—is just a platform for people to attack a user they can't stand, even though they'd struggle to function without her posts.
Azalea is basically being used as a tool to target Ethan Barrett22 and the rest of us.
And yeah, that's basically it. 🍿

It’s just like what Linda Harris44 wrote in post #16, saying she never talked to herself. As for the mods, if this isn't grounds for a ban, I don't know what is.🤦

stormyrider28 said:In the end, you just ended up making Kimberly Ward look bad—she was the one mocking Lorelei for not having kids, doing it twice in back-to-back posts, and then throwing an Insult on top of it all...

Kimberly Ward started picking on me out of nowhere about not having kids, even though I never said a single word to her about it...
I honestly have no clue how my parental status has anything to do with a debate over plant-based spread prices? It makes zero sense...

Still, I'm not holding a grudge against Kimberly. The mods should be focusing on the people who spend every single day trashing this Alternative PDF with their constant Insults—which, based on the examples Ethan Barrett22 brought up, is pretty obvious...

Ethan Barrett22 said:I promised I’d dig up some more links featuring all that lovely insults and harassment, so here’s a little something I managed to scrape together real quick before work calls me back into action!
I see stormyrider28 already jumped in and quoted those links I was planning to share, so I won't go ahead and repeat them here!

Well, just as you can see from... There are so many great quotes floating around here! And looking back at my previous posts too, Alright, let's get down to business—we’re talking about just the three most problematic users on the boards. Honestly, some people just have this exact same way of doing things across their entire history on the forums!

It’s honestly wild how much of this insulting behavior has been ramping up ever since the moderation went quiet. Such a strange coincidence, don't you think? 😉) Honestly, it feels like this is happening across every single thread and directed at pretty much everyone in the community! Honestly, if you look at what's attached here, it’s pretty clear: posts that don't include some kind of nasty insult are becoming a total rarity around here!

Hey there! I’d like to kindly ask the forum moderators to take a quick look at this.

That’s exactly right, "Mr." Ethan Barrett22! Honestly, the guy is such a little pushover, always acting like he's some poor victim of persecution... except he’s got one tiny little problem.
This is it! That user's forum signature, Just to make sure nothing went missing again or that nobody snuck in any of their own stuff:

Listen, we really need to talk about the energy we let into our lives. Honestly, you’ve got to distance yourself from those people who do nothing but dish out complaints, obsess over problems, spin endless disaster stories, or just live to spread fear and judge everyone else. It's exhausting! If someone is looking for a literal trash can to dump all their emotional garbage into, please, for the love of God, make sure it isn't your mind. Protect your peace!
Ignore:monty-zg,jednoumlje,Lufat Mufat; zecopas,Aldente; lemonzoo,adelon; SusFerox,Biljka112,7nationarmy,Hepoks2,antet "

So, here’s the deal with the "ignore list." Technically, if you add someone to your ignore list, it means you’re "too hurt" to see their posts anymore, right? That’s what they want us to believe. But this guy? He isn't just lurking; he’s actually archiving their posts in his own little private database just so he can pull them out whenever he feels like it! He’s basically stalking people all over the web, totally obsessed with the fact that he can't win an argument, all while trying to hide behind that "ignore" button. And get this—he’s even asking other users to give him the scoop on what people are saying about him behind his back. It’s honestly just a massive ego trip; he simply can't help himself!

And then, in less than two hours—which basically means you have to jump into every single thread immediately because actual, normal people show up, drop a comment, and go back to living their real lives. Meanwhile, some people... well, let's just say it’s pretty obvious they don't have much else going on! Anyway, here it is: Wow, twenty-seven! Can you even believe that? That’s a whopping 27 quotes right there! (!!!!)And then, just to top it all off, we get hit with another 22 quotes first thing in the morning! It’s just more of the same—people acting like they’re part of some "quasi-alternative" clique, throwing around insults left and right. Honestly, someone really needs to put in the work to go through and pull every single one of those comments out. Unless, of course, a full list is already sitting there ready to be served up. But hey, being obsessed with what the Guru says, I’m sure he’s already got everything documented and ready to go!
I’ve actually seen this pop up on the PZK boards a few times already!

It feels like we’re stuck in a loop! First it was Biljka112 jumping in to attack the thread, then I got targeted, then Roger Cooper91 took a swing, and now it’s Kimberly Ward... honestly, it’s always the same small group of people. It's just Ethan Barrett22, stormyrider28, Linda Harris44, Benny, and now this suspicious fake profile from Sophia Fowler44 joining the fray. Same old story!

Since there’s an opportunity here, I’d like to formally ask the administration of this site to weigh in on this post (the topic is "Raw food" over on Alternative, but that’s actually secondary):

Ethan Barrett22 said:Based on everything I know—and I even have some undeniable material evidence that those involved couldn't dream of imagining🙂—I really think the regularly troll subforum is just two, maybe three people at most.

One person definitely uses three different profiles, the second probably just one, and a third has at least two nicknames that I am 100% certain about.

Then there’s a fourth person I’m not even counting, even though they’ve been showing up more often lately; they don't insult people quite as much, but they still troll constantly and openly support chaos and breaking the rules—they've actually stated that outright several times.

I honestly believe once they find actual jobs, they'll vanish. It looks like some have already found work and just don't have the time to clutter things up like they used to. 😁

The only way someone could have "undeniable material evidence" is if they have access to moderator or admin privileges (either personally or through one of the mods). If that’s the case, it would be a massive violation of the basic terms we all agreed to when joining this site. There are really only two possibilities here. Either this person is lying and trolling threads (which is a punishable offense), or they are telling the truth (in which case, our site has a serious data leak and a security breach regarding user info).

Given how this individual constantly accuses everyone who disagrees with them of being clones or fakes, in light of this statement, I’m officially requesting that the administration address the issue of clone accounts within the Alternative threads. This person regularly uses these claims to troll discussions and inflate their post count whenever they run out of things to say.

Honestly, I think you’d be better off starting a separate thread just to ask that. This specific discussion is meant for reporting the absolute garbage mentioned in the initial post, so let's leave the mods to deal with that mess instead...

stormyrider28 said:People are posting over there too, just a hell of a lot less frequently. And honestly, I have to wonder—why is it that Jerry White29, or any of those other people who spend their entire lives hurling insults, never bother showing up in the gastronomy section to tear people apart? They aren’t there trying to invent fake mistakes in someone's posts or acting like a broken record, repeating the exact same nonsense fifty times like some mindless parrot. Is it because they know they can't get away with it there? It makes me think there might be a direct connection between their absence and the fact that the moderation over there actually functions.

Linda Harris44 Asks:
Over on the food forums, you won't find anyone questioning the sheer brilliance of tossing kale and beets into a salad quite like the way they condescendingly tear apart almost every single recipe Ethan Barrett22 posts over here.
The comments on this thread are getting absolutely ridiculous, honestly. You’ve got people questioning why anyone would even bother posting recipes here when they can just pull them up on Google in two seconds. Then you have the nitpickers diving into the "philosophy" behind every single dish, or obsessing over whether there’s actually raw cacao available, or demanding to know the exact origin of the agave syrup used. It’s constant—people grilling me about organic ingredients or complaining that certain items aren't sourced locally from within the States. It’s exhausting.

Do you honestly think they’d write like this when discussing gastronomy? Would they really bring this exact same energy to a discussion about fine dining or food culture?
They aren't saying anything because if they actually spoke up, they’d be flying out of here the very same day.

Now I’m genuinely stuck wondering if you two actually have no clue what’s going on here, or if you’re just playing dumb to get under my skin.
Let me try to break this down for you all so you actually understand what’s going on here. The reason nobody jumped on Nadrilekar’s absolute nonsense in that gastronomy PDF is simply because he didn't actually write it in there. If he had actually put those ridiculous claims in print—specifically that claim about carrot juice being virtually identical to human blood—he probably would have been banned on the spot. If he had actually gone ahead and written that garbage, I wouldn't have just sat there; I would have sent him a message telling him exactly what an idiot he is.

I hope things are finally starting to click for you people. If you’re wondering why you "alternative" types aren't allowed to post on that PDF, it's pretty simple: they wouldn't let you get away with spreading such absolute garbage. They won't tolerate nonsense like the claims made by Ethan Barrett22, that total hack and self-proclaimed Guru, who actually tries to argue that the human body just manufactures its own Vitamin C out of carbohydrates and water. Or even worse, the claim that H2O is only the formula for distilled water, while suggesting that regular tap water somehow follows a different chemical structure. He’d be banned in a heartbeat because he's nothing more than a complete idiot who has no clue what he's talking about.
And that’s exactly what keeps happening all the time over on the Alternative subforum.
GNU, I really hope you get exactly what's going on here.

Linda Harris44 said:Over on the gastronomy boards, none of them ever bother to ask "what's the point of chopping up kale and beets for a salad?" the way they snarkily question almost every recipe Ethan Barrett22 posts here.

It’s interesting, isn't it? They don't even bat an eye there, whereas over on Alternative, they launch these hostile, incredibly blunt insults at my posts—and everyone else's, too.
I honestly wouldn't know how to explain the discrepancy. 🤷

I wonder if they might have an answer for that? 🍿

Linda Harris44 said:The comments range from asking why anyone bothers posting recipes when you can just find everything on Google, to questioning the wisdom of making a specific dish, whether raw cacao is available, the origin of agave syrup, or why certain organic ingredients aren't sourced locally within the States.

Who knows why they don't bring any of that scrutiny to the gastronomy section? ☕
That said, the idea is sound; we really should be contributing more there, since it’s such an excellent sub-forum. 👍

Arthur Smith15 said:... perhaps it's because the Food & Dining section isn't exactly the place for articles about miracle seeds that cure cancer, or deep dives into how the molecular structure of blood supposedly mimics carrot juice. It’s certainly not meant for those basic "recipes" where charlatans and quacks write about blending beets and carrots, while overly eager proponents of the Alternative lifestyle faint from excitement over how wonderful it is...

The Food & Dining section is intended specifically for that last part—discussing nutrition and meals, sharing recipes, and things of that nature.
Writing about medical treatments there just doesn't make sense; it would be completely off-topic. As someone else pointed out earlier, it's a bit like trying to host a seminar on landing on the Moon in a cooking class.
That's simply not what this subforum is for.

There are other subforums dedicated to illnesses, health, and medical treatments—some even have it right there in the title. 🍿

Linda Harris44 Asks:
Kimberly Ward has started making these weirdly pointed insults toward me about not having kids, which is just bizarre because I haven't even brought the subject up once in our conversations. It feels like it came completely out of left field.
I honestly can't quite wrap my head around how my kids' inheritance has anything to do with comparing the prices of plant-based spreads. I guess I'm just missing the connection here.

That’s exactly right, and I believe the links provided make everything perfectly clear. If you take a look at them, the evidence really speaks for itself.

To be perfectly honest, I’m struggling to wrap my head around this one. I truly can't fathom what your children—or anyone else's children, for that matter—have to do with the discussion regarding plant-based spreads that we were having at the time. It seems like a bit of a non sequitur, doesn't it? 😵

Linda Harris44 said:I don't hold a grudge against Kimberly Ward, personally. In my view, the focus should really be on sanctioning those individuals who spend their days tearing down the PDF Alternative through constant Insults—which, if you look at the examples Ethan Barrett22 laid out, is clearly what's happening here.

I have to agree here. It seems to me that Kimberly Ward was simply looking for an excuse to manufacture some kind of wrongdoing against people who, frankly, deal with insults on a daily basis—which, if you look at the links provided, is pretty much everyone involved.

I hadn't quite realized that it was on. Topics Does anyone remember which specific thread Kimberly Ward opened back in the day? And more importantly, did anyone here actually end up taking her side? Because of all the insults that were thrown her way. I’m a bit lost—could someone please point me toward which topic we're discussing here and who exactly started this thread? 🤷
Even Mark Cruz15 didn't hesitate; he jumped in to reply almost immediately:

If you would just stop spreading such toxic propaganda, maybe then people would stop insulting you.

By acting that way, he essentially just gave his blessing to the very people who are hurling insults at him.
It’s honestly quite pathetic. He’s so obsessed with maintaining this sense of "order" that he actually went out of his way to start a thread in her name, only to inadvertently prove that Kimberly Ward was the one actually hurling insults at another member regarding her inability to have children. 🍿

Honestly, it’s just embarrassing how they’re using Kimberly Ward to try and wipe us out. They’ve been lurking in the shadows for ages, just waiting for a moment like this to manufacture some kind of error and blow up a thread over at FEMA.
And when she actually needed someone to have her back, where were they? Nowhere to be found. Because helping her wouldn't have served their interests.
It’s textbook opportunism. 👎

Some guy named Al dente posted on that same FEMA thread Kimberly Ward started:

You’re spouting anti-vax nonsense, which basically makes you worthy of all the hate you're getting.

The accusation is totally baseless because neither he nor I ever said you were "impersonating anyone." Besides, you can barely read, let alone understand what's being written.

And by the way, are you seriously just some "small-town girl from Aspen"? Asking, not stating. Is that really who you are?

So, there you have it... now you see exactly how much Kimberly Ward actually matters to these forum trolls. Not a damn bit.
