I posted about how she thin she looked last night because I was genuinely shocked, that's not bitching. I don't like her presenting style but I hope she isn't ill.

Several of us have commented that she doesn't look well. So there won't be any backpeddling, serious or not, from those of us who have already said this. As has been said, nobody wants anyone to be ill.
Nobody is denying anyone freedom of speech, thank you very much - but why some of our more angelic posters need to be guardians of our morals all the time (while at the same time saying that those of us who think Jill Franks looks ill, are bitching or taking pleasure from putting others down and THEN go on to judge that critical posters have the need to feel better about their own imperfections) beats me. If that isn't judgmental, I don't know what is. Calm down and enjoy differences of opinion which make for balanced discussion.

It's not the criticisms as such that I don't like - it's the *way* they're expressed...
Using words like 'cadaverous', suggesting she might be anorexic, that her teeth need cleaning and that her hair is greasy... they are all deeply personal comments.
How would any of us feel if we read that about ourselves?
It's one thing to say she appears to have lost weight and hope she is ok; it's entirely different to suggest she has a mental health issue (eating disorder) or whatever.
Words can hurt - a lot - I don't think she has done anything to deserve the cutting remarks. Surely the same points can be made but with less venom.

Thinness is as dangerous sometimes as obesity ..;0( ....( a really lovely lady passed away on Saturday of heart attack ...a neighbour ...such a lovley lady ..was always a bigger lady but gorgeous personality ...her face showed that too if that makes sense such a sad loss ...breaks my heart ... ) ...would not want to hear of anything awful happening to Gill because she is too thin...maybe the grief of Scruncher has kicked in ....:0(
