Like I said, go back and read the thread from the beginning. It was the coverless side that brought up weight and started the "mocking". It also seems like it's the coverless side that's taking this to heart. I'm really not sure why, it was just a little gentle ribbing and poking, no malice meant at all.

What I find tiresome is how easily offended people are these days, especially when offence wasn't intended. How about choosing to interpret comments favourably rather than unfavourably? Assuming playful teasing rather than insult?

How about consideration for people that need a space to let off steam, be silly, have a little fun? Why so serious?
Is it at all possible you're dragging some related baggage from your time in other threads/forums and depositing it in this one?
