First though, I'm just picking apart your arguments as now it's fairly obvious your just arguing for the sake of arguing. You're too 'proud' to go back and say, 'ok, that last comment made no sense' so your lashing out. Your comment about stores makes no logical or practical sense. And I have a hard time thinking that you actually feel excluded in your shopping options. Do you really want a thin men's department at AdditionElle? And even if that's a 'example', what's it an example of? What are you really having trouble finding? How do you feel excluded as a consumer? And how is that any more excluded than the real problems some other groups have?
But yes, in reading this thread, I do find your views on overweight, fat, or obese people rather cruel. Thankfully your becoming a caricature type villain so I don't know what people like Devil's Advocate would even feel bad. There's no reason to take you seriously.
Though I haven't really made any feeling known yet, and my comments haven't suggested anything you have tried to pin me on, I'd advocate healthy people and healthy living. Which means people who are overweight are given tools they need that can help them take control of their weight and life. It means people who are not healthy, are given a chance to get healthy.
Shaming people for any problem never works, weight or otherwise. Especially when you start talking about problems where issues like addiction, mental health, and personal change have roles in the equation.
