I see both sides of the argument here. I definitely think that you could have been more sensitive in your post because other members, me included, are petrified of throwing up in public and its part of what drives us here.

on the other hand, I think that the meanness and ridicule got out of control and I've felt like that's happened a lot lately. Sort of a mob mentality when it comes to putting other people down. Many people on this site have been bullied in their past and everyone has dealt with it differently. Hairy is not wrong in her response to bullying. If you've become a more compassionate person because of bullying, consider yourself lucky, because that is not always the case. There is no one set way bullying can effect you. I implore you guys to understand this because I work hard at my job to prevent bullying...and I see it a lot on this site.

i in no way support what hairy said, I think her logic was flawed and she needs to get a grip on her phobia because its too big of an influence on her life.

Soooo yeah....
