There has been a lot written on the subject and I believe there was something posted here some months ago.

I agree that Jo is very supportive and that its wonderful of her to bring up the weighing in thing, but I found this statement to be a little out there.
We all come here for different reasons, and in reality, its an open forum for support of anybody, with whatever issues they may have. Be it newcomer, oldtimer, maintainer, weight loser....we all have a right to be here.

Not that I don't get you, its the point that when someone makes a statement like "I think you are just taking up space", its not supportive, but hindering.
That was my point.
