I said this in a PM, but I wanted to further clarify here that I didn't intend that first reply as an attack on Moonliner; I just intended to disagree that what he said applies to Ally's situation.
The second paragraph of my statement was a general statement about what I've been observing here recently. I am overweight (though keeping a balance of self-esteem and caring for my health is something I work very hard to do.) I feel very strongly about the word being used as an insult, and it always seems weird to me when, looking at a person who has a large number of faults or flaws, "fat" is the first one to be criticized. To me, it's not the worst thing to be. On the scale of things that truly matter to me, it's ignorance or cruelty or any number of other things that rank as a "worst offense." Or, in the case of Spears-- I just don't understand why being less-toned would be more of a target than coking herself up beyond reason?
