    The original posts content didn't offend me at all, it just seemed to me that the OP was discussing the weighted range of the sliders and comparing their character to another that looked much thinner, maybe too thin compared to their own.
    Maybe the cheeseburger comment was out of line, but I don't think it warranted some of the ridiculous overreactions in this thread.

    Somewhere in the first few posts, the caterwauling began, and instead of character comparisons, it became comparisons of people and then led to fat shaming because "fat people are lazy, yuk yuk"

    I can't help but think if the topic had been drug, alcohol or gambling addiction that plenty of friendly offers for help numbers and such would have been extended, but the moment it turns to some poor soul who might be overweight, its okay to speculate as if you know for "sure" that they're just slovenly and lazy, and snigger behind your screens about it.

    I think it's about time I bow out.
    Carry on with your shaming.

    The topic and the posts that followed were exactly what I expected.
