She treated me like shit!

[DontCareIfItHurts]

Well this section is for ranting and raving so that's what I'm gonna do.

You might have heard of this "mamaVision" woman. She campaigns against ProAna sites. Fine, more power to her. But I was reading a post on her site and a few things about it struck me as being wrong or unjust. So I emailed her. I was SOOOOOOO polite! I expressed my opinions and concerns in the most polite, humble, non-opinionated way possible. I mentioned some of the things I knew about eating disorders and some of my own experiences on Pro Ana sites, stuff like that. Now maybe it was silly to think that an eighteen year old kid could have anything to say to someone who has obviously studied this area extensively - but she did NOT have the right to be so dismissive and belittling in her reply. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't deserve a little human respect. I felt like SUCH a piece of crap after reading it. I wouldn't have minded if she had DISAGREED with me, but she didn't even mention any of my views - just brushed me off and told me to go do my homework. She told an eighteen year old girl with an eating disorder to go look at more pro ana websites as research. How COLD is that???

I just thanked her for her reply and apologised for taking up her valuable time. I wasn't gonna be bad mannered even if she was. So I'll say here what I didn't say to her - BITCH. She had no right to make me feel like that.

Ok I'm done, I feel better :)

I'd say power to you! Hope that made you feel better. I got a laugh out of the last part, though, because I would definitely have called her a bitch in the e-mail. She was rude and she had no right to talk to you like that when you have a primary source for your knowledge - yourself! Personal experience teaches you more than any amount of reserch ever will. That's a lesson that lady really needs to learn!

Thanks :)

Seems silly now to be so riled over it, but I was having a tough day food-wise so that email just came at the wrong moment and made me hiss like a pissed off cat! I'm totally over it now.

Well, she's a bitch! I would not have been able to stay so polite, but it's a good thing you did.

Nice job! Its great you can say what you want to say reasonably, and not have to resort to being petty like she obviously did. Take it in your stride, because you are definately the better person.

Who the hell is this person?? Where do I find her blogs or whatever it was you were talking about?
