Define shaming?? Asking questions is not shaming. Saying "what the heck happened"? Is not shaming. When people set themselves up as leaders, they owe explanations to those that follow them. If you want all your decisions to be "private"and not open to review, than leave your decisions private. But you can't have it both ways.

This should be a quote that goes down in history.

Exactly, I'm in complete agreement.

This goes right back to the saying "I respect your vegan food choices, and you should respect my corpse eating". If someone is going to return to exploiting and murdering sentient beings then I believe they deserve nothing less than to be called out on the matter.

From a socio-cultural perspective, yes, but not necessarily the right reasons.

Does not saying anything and keeping to ourselves serve the community?

Just wondering.

No, it is healthy to discuss these topics. But it is important to be respectful.

Just saying.

So then what is wrong us wanting to figure out an explanation as to why people fail on the diet.

That's what that thread was about and it was made in to us shaming and unfairly criticizing her.

If you can't handle others judging and criticizing, then don't judge and criticize the judgers and criticizers with your judgements and criticisms. Seems hypocritical eh?
