Arise you are saying the same thing I was saying. And I saw some other posts in older threads also saying this same thing.

They think we don't understand why they are upset. When we TOTALLY understand.

You all say that we are blaming the victim but when we state that you all gang up on people who don't feel you should be so mean spirited then we are all of a sudden playing the victim. When we say you have to take partial responsibility for not following your own good judgement then you compare us to molesters and rapists. When we say that the jokes are juvenile and adults shouldn't be acting with such behavior then you all say that Kimmer started it. When we say that you all are exhibiting mob behavior then you hit us with the Kimmer is a fraud.

Not one person has addressed the specific concerns that have been raised. You all feel justified in your actions because of the wrong doings of Kimmer.

We all have said Kimmer is wrong but you bypass that and continue to try and convince us that she is wrong. LOL

I wonder if we were getting to close some other information when she came it and disrupted the thread? -- what were we talking about?

She is a fraud, plain and simple.
And all that has come out is beyond 'wool'. When are you going to see she is a fraud?
I did not follow the diet. And the one she had when she was on this board was much different than what I'm hearing it has evolved to.

I never said she wasn't a fraud.

Please.. it's not a "bandwagon"... it doesn't matter if you had your health damaged or not by Kimkins.. it IS about her lies, fraud, and illegal business practices.

I am not trying to confuse any issue. I just think that people should conduct themselves in a more adult manner. I never defended Kimmer, show me one quote that I made defending her. And when I ask someone to take responsibilty for their own actions that is not blaming the victim. The people who followed the plan did it of their own free will. They were not forced to do anything.

Stopping people from following this program is important. I will even be happy to help if I can. But the name calling and pointing of fingers is very immature.

Seems to the search you were going to or were doing it.

Listen, my only beef with Heidi Diaz is that she lied and took advantage of desperate people.

How do you figure that people aren't taking responsibility for their part in it? Should every post end with..."and this is all my own fault," just to make you two happy?
People have already told you several times that they are accepting responsibility by helping others avoid this scam. If that's not a satisfactory answer for you then I guess it's too bad. But you DID get answers, don't pretend you didnt.

So what's the real problem? You're taking offense to a few jabs at Kimmer's expense. If you don't like the jokes...Ok, your opinions were heard. Our opinions were heard (hopefully). So what else do you want? For everyone to be like you? Or maybe just to follow your orders? Just a hunch but, I don't see that happening. Maybe you should move to Stepford.

I did the egg thing for a few days I think. And like I said her program was much different back then.

I agree with her lying I'm really shocked because I liked her. I thought she was on to something. But even back then people had concerns of gallstones and the low calorie count and I took heed.

In your control panel is a place where you add names for ignore. PM me if you want and I can walk you through it.

People have already told you several times that they are accepting responsibility by helping others avoid this scam. If that's not a satisfactory answer for you then I guess it's too bad. But you DID get answers, don't pretend you didnt. I am addressing the posts about me blaming the victim because I made that statement. I just asked a question initially but people were saying that I reminded them of being molested. People keep saying that they believed what Kimmer was telling them and I feel that there had to be warning signs at some point.

So what's the real problem? You're taking offense to a few jabs at Kimmer's expense. If you don't like the jokes...Ok, your opinions were heard. Our opinions were heard (hopefully). So what else do you want? For everyone to be like you? Or maybe just to follow your orders? Just a hunch but, I don't see that happening. Maybe you should move to Stepford.
LOL okay I can understand that, I don't want everyone to be like me but let me have my say without jumping on me and twisting what I'm saying to mean something different.

I can only speak for myself and when I saw the warning signs...I stopped!! It didn't stop the additional symptoms after though.

To Baby PHAT:

Hey, we really would love to have your help.

I cannot promise, however, that I will never call Heidi Diaz a lying liar who lies, because I will, because she is.

Please, understand, there are very few people like Heidi in the world...ones who live to lie, who cannot utter a word or make a move without it being a LIE. That's not immature my calling her that. It's an observation, and a proven fact.

Please.. it's not a "bandwagon"... it doesn't matter if you had your health damaged or not by Kimkins.. it IS about her lies, fraud, and illegal business practices.
If we are going to get the site shut down... we need as many people as we can get to join the suit. (only requirement is did you pay to join?)
To be honest... I want to reiterate this again... it doesn't matter if you were personally affected by it or not... what matters is PREVENTING her from getting the chance to hurt someone else.
By not joining... you are- in essense, helping her stay in business, and saying it's okay with you if someone gets scammed or hurt by her.

Please.. if you are a paid member of Kimkins and you no longer support Heidi Diaz or believe her lies... then JOIN THE LAWSUIT REGARDLESS OF ANY OTHER REASONING!!!

Kimkinslawsuit’s Weblog
Arise and I have both said to let the law handle her. We have not stated to stop the lawsuit.

BabyPhat.. I think you are referring to me when saying that I said your question reminded me of being molested... I want to clear up that for a minute.
I am not saying that you are like my molester.. what I was saying is that your question was like my principal's statement to me. It was a "blame the victim", "make the victim take responsibility" mentality. I in NO WAY think that you are like a molestor.. goodness no.. Kimmer is the one who is behaving LIKE a molestor.
I'm sure my principal thought he was truly protecting me from any additional dangers by telling me not to wear tight sweaters, I'm sure he never INTENDED to make me feel like trash. However... sometimes people's questions and or statements that are directed at victims of a crime are much deeper than you realize.

All it does is make "the victims" feel guilty over something we really shouldn't feel guilt over.

Hopefully, you have never had to feel the way I have felt. Hopefully you have never been in a situation where someone hurt you, broke your trust, violated you, abused you or turned it back around and told you it was your own fault to begin with. I guess if you've never experienced something like that then you wouldn't be able to recognize how your casual innocent questions might cause some raw emotions to be stirred up.

I am not sure what kind of "responsibility" you want us to take. What exactly do you want us to do?

I'm not trying to twist your words or "jump on you" for asking questions.. I'm simply responding from my heart in reaction to your post. If you understand what I'm saying and just completely disagree, then oh well... but perhaps looking at it from my point of view might encourage you to be a little more empathetic and a little less judgemental.

And the people who come into the anti-Kimkins threads and throw these words at us are so stupid and so in love with self-drama that they dont’ give a damn that they’re trivializing these words, self-appointed martyrs posturing and whining.

Some of these people — and BabyPhat you know who you are — share with us, with our own families, and with the families of so many people affected by the Kimkins scam, some of these people ought by right to understand and honor the power of these words.
I wonder too.
