Please read the entire post before you decide to pass judgement

I somewhat have a more level head...i say somewhat...because before i read someone's journal...i was doing ok...but now i see that she's going to make this a cluster fuck and as tony said "she's waaaaay over reacting. she has a right to her feelings but this is taking it a little to far

Wow... this sure created a few waves.

Astra,
In my opinion, I think you needed to learn a lesson from this. Everyone can think what they want and whether you're wrong or right in the situation is irrelevant (anyone who says they've never had a vicious thought now and then is lying. Period. Minds wander and sometimes it isn't pretty.)
Here's the thing though.. people have these thoughts and some suppress it or think of something else or whatever... and some go to their lj's and post it. Just like in a livejournal community, your personal journal is a community in it's own sense. You post things and they show up on friends lists and people can comment. Your friends are most likely not all just like you and may disagree or be insulted by what you say. You need to to stop and think before you post something that all your friends can see. When in doubt, filter it or make it a diary entry. If you need to rant and rave and think it may hurt someone, just lock it, even if for a little bit until you "cool off" and become more "level-headed." That doesn't mean someone's being fake. It means they're considerate of other people's feelings.
Some things are just better left private.

The phrases "die of a heart attack" and some of the other things you've said are pretty harsh. Something I'm curious about though.. when your friends "whine" about their weight.. what do you say to them?
Do you tell them they're pretty and you like them just the way they are?
Do you offer support in helping them or maybe becoming a "diet buddy"?
Or do you tell them you hope they die of a heart attack because they're doing this to themselves?

I highly doubt (and really REALLY hope) that you don't say the last thing. If you do, please just delete me and be done with it. lol... Anyways.. So you have to understand that those words can really hurt someone.. and if someone on your friends list posted something like this, you'd most likely get really insulted, and rightly so. I really hope you learn from this rather than just let the drama take over.

WOAH this got too f-ing long. Sorry...
