What's going on here?!
Just last night and then today I've seen 3 board examples of how people here have publicly condemned or brought to task other ds members on these discussion boards.
It's really upsetting to see how someone will post something inflammatory or post an accusation about another and then how people with jump on the band wagon and basically run people out of ds in witch-hunt fashion.
One person points the finger then many others follow without questioning the validity of the accusation or if the action merits public condemnation. Sometimes things that people do are flat out inappropriate but does that mean that the person should be run out of ds or should they be told that what their doing i inappropriate and given a shot to fix the behavior first before publicly embaressed.
And this situation about the member TryingTimes -maybe a hoax maybe not -no evidence to prove it a hoax -it's just an opinion. There's every possibility that it was the real deal. If it was real then two people -one trying to help and the other in crisis have just been run off this site.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
But on other aspects of a public calling out -it seems like it hurts more than it helps. yeah, it dose feel like a villagers with pitchforks scene....
