I'm not saying you were in the wrong to reprint the article here, but I have been on this board long enough to know that Clutchfans is, as a whole, rather obsessed with the subject. Every great once in a while I can get through a days postings in the hangout without running across any fat-bashing, but it is rare. Threads you wouldn't think had anything to do with fat, fitness or food....yet the potshots sneak in. I am not accusing you of this, but I generally think people with who obsess over other peoples weight do so because it isn't socially acceptable to say "LOOK AT MEEEEE, I AM FIT!!!" And criticizing others size is a more socially acceptable way to draw attention to their own relative fitness. Honestly I am a lot less concerned with "on topic" threads than the gratuitous and pervasive commentary on just about every other thread on the board.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I haven't noticed this fat-bashing you are talking about. Maybe you're very sensitive about the topic so you notice it more than me.
