Can't forgive a simple oversight? The Disboards app is unforgiving enough!
grummble grrrummble
I suppose.

I meant to bold them, to indicate I changed them.
But I changed them because obese is the correct term.
But it wasn't your place to change her post, regardless of whether or not you thought the term was "correct."
lol Don't push it.

Would it have been better if I quoted the OP, changed the parts I wanted to change, then wrote: "There, fixed it for you!"
Because people do that all the time.
I even added in to say I made the changes. I would've done it sooner but the DISboards app is a mess and wouldn't let me.
You + me + Liberty Belle =
Most likely it was intended to be a FIFY type of post, and the FIFY was missed. Not really worth drawing swords and going into battle for.
No kidding.....that's behavior.
Par for the course for that poster.
As the OP, I do admit to being puzzled why my post was changed, then being a bit miffed to find out it was on purpose in a kind way, but sometimes being helpful doesn't always translate well, and I understand skatalite was trying to be helpful, so it is what it is. I appreciate that skatalite explained.
I did use "overweight" as my description of choice though because I find "obese" to imply slovenly fat person, whereas "overweight" is a person that is large, possibly very large, but not given up on appearance or attitude. Just my preference, others may feel differently.
Facebook has a purpose, but sometimes you have to put up with the idiots to connect with the others.
I am still curious - are Englishmen different? I know, beating a dead horse. But I can't recall any American men in romantic scenes with larger women, but I do recall seeing that in English productions. Vicar of Dibley, for example, with Richard Armitage's character romancing the leading lady.
Ok, I admit I only watched it because my girlfriends and I admire Richard Armitage, and oh me oh my, he is certainly watchable! But I just don't recall anything like that on American shows?
Yup, Facebook has a purpose - an irritating discussion that forced me to now have Richard Armitage on my mind. There are worse things in life!

I am so out of touch. I had to Google Rebel Wilson because I didn't even know who she was.. Yep, She is a fat girl.. not what I would categorize as obese even though i guess, technically she is.... when i think of obese, the images of someone so large, they can barely walk comes to mind. She might be big, fat or obese but she looks great and appears to be doing well.. I would certainly kiss her if If I thought I could get away with it! .. and I am American so there goes that theory!
