IS SOMEONE PUTTING PRESSURE ON TWO BLOGGERS ???

(Painting by Gustave Dore: "Jacob wrestling with the Angel")


Two bloggers, Fighting in the Mud, and theTruth, have each suddenly had an epiphany. Ah, the miracles that occur during the Christmas season. It does my heart good.

Now, what would cause the mud-fighter to shut down his/her blog and thesupposedTruth to substantially soften his/her stance? Was it the feeling of goodwill towards their fellow man?

Or could it possibly be pressure from the lawyer, John Tiedt, and/or the principal participants in the civil lawsuit against
Heidi Diaz aka Kimmer and the Kimkins diet scam?

Here is Fighting in the Mud's final post:

Adieu

I wanted to answer one of the comments that I got this evening. I was asked why I wasn’t posting comments. As I said in one of my earlier blog posts, I stopped posting the comments for several reasons. First of all, I didn’t want people tallying up the “fors” and “againsts”, and I was concerned that some of the posters might be identified by their words. Also, some used their normal “handles”, and some of them asked to not have their comments posted. Rather than agonize about what to post or not post, I decided after posting the first few that I would not post any.

Secondly, the same poster questioned my comments about my blog being compromised, and the poster said it was only “my” word that it had really happened. That is correct. It is only “my” word. I may be a lot of things, but a liar I am not.

I have decided that I have said all I can or should say about Kimkins. I had really hoped that it might start people thinking, but after seeing the “Fascination thread” today, I realize that it probably isn’t going to happen.

I want to close by addressing just one more issue. It’s been said so many times that if people had stopped questioning in thread one that there would be no lawsuit. That is true. It’s been said that if we had stopped digging and investigating in thread two that there would be no lawsuit. That is true. The same thing can be said for many of the threads that followed the first two.

The difference between what happened then versus what is happening now is that now there is a lawsuit to consider. In thread one, there was nothing to lose. Now that we are in thread twelve, there is a lot to lose.

I’ve said all I need to. Thank you again to the people who understood what I was trying to say, and to the others, I will borrow Jeanessa’s words, “Let the chips fall where they fall.”

I will leave the blog up for several more days, and I will then remove it.

One Last Package under the Tree

I removed the bulk of my last post after its overnight existance, out of a desire not to further stir the pot this holiday season. My opinions remain unchanged, but may be somewhat softer than were initially conveyed. I may or may not come back in my former capacity after the holidays but I am not making that decision today. I assure all I remain committed to truth and justice for all those that deserve to be dragged into their light. If I have a part to play, I'll try to do so.

I'll close with a plea that we all just get along for a few days and think inward to the things that are most important to us. Seriously, though, Happy Holidays to those of all faiths.

Peace.

You are going to be charging people? Have you learned nothing?
December 24, 2007 9:55 AM

Shelby, yes I have learned a lot. I have learned NOT to allow other people dictate to me what I should and should not do. I have learned that it does cost money to open and run a website. There are many fees you may not be aware of. Domain, LLC, accountant fees, and insurance are just to name a few. So before you get all carried away with worries thinking that I am about to make money think again. Breaking even would be nice.
Now, let me tell you another thing. This may come as a surprise to you and yours but I don't give a rats ass what you think. lol Had you not noticed that by now?

You know, I have no stake on either side of this debacle, but you might come off as more believable and sincere if you weren't so intent on blowing your horn. We get it. You think you're great. True greatness is evident when you don't have to tell everyone you are. This sort of self-aggrandizing just turns people off.

Tippy Toes Blog said...

I am sorry you feel that way. It was a beautiful PM (*see the "beautiful pm"below) and I wanted to share it. I didn't write it. I did think it was nice to see something positive. And why would you say I think I am great? Because I won't back down from the bullies? Because I won't just go away? Because I won't say I am sorry when I am not? Because I will not let my heart get broken from slander? Because I can see through the BS and point it out right here?

The reason I say you think you are great has nothing to do with all those things you listed. It has to do with tooting your own horn, like I said in the original comment. publishing a 'love letter' to you is what is self-aggrandizing. It should be enough for you to have received it. It should have made you feel special. It cheapens it to take it public.Whether you have anything to say your sorry for, or back down from, would be something for you to know in your heart it's not for me to say.Again...Kimkins, LCF or any of the rest of the garbage means nothing to me. No animosity here, regardless if you wish to see some where none exists.I wish you success in whatever you chose to do in your life.

I am so sorry you felt that publishing this PM was a bad thing. I thought it would be nice to share a positive comment. If this offended you in any way, then for that I am sorry. I do know that misinterpretations do happen and I believe this to be one. So I am sorry if you did not see it at it was intended. However, thanks for visiting my blog and taking time to comment. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and much joy for the upcoming new year.

AND HERE IS FAWN'S "BEAUTIFUL PM":

"Dear Pocahontas [aka Tippy Toes],

I just wanna say, thank YOU for all you have done to help people. This site is WONDERFUL, loving, supportive and calming.

I want to thank you for inviting people to join your site and giving them time to adjust and bond with one another before the influx of people come in shortly.

Your site is just AMAZING and soothing... its like a safe haven if you will and I am sure I am not only speaking for myself, people are VERY happy here, girl you DONE GOOD!!!!! and you should be VERY PROUD of you as we ALL are.

Heather is one incredible person, she lends an ear, never judgemental, a heart of pure gold and kindness and VERY helpful and supportive. At first I was kinda afraid and shy to venture here, because not so many people like me because I will always be grateful for the K plan that started me on the course of low carb living and people on other sites are NOT so nice to be at all as you may or may not know... to be honest they were down right mean and agressive when they saw my name.... So I landed quietly in camp and before ya know it... I was posting away LOL. Heather helped me a lot in transitioning outside my box so to speak and I got an opportunity to bond with Heather as she helped me with my transition and kinda like letting me know that this site was a SAFE place and people would be nice to me here, etc. That help and bonding sincerely helped me out a LOT, there are no words to explain for real.

This is a WONDERFUL site and okay let me stop on this topic because I never thought it was possible for a site to be so friendly and nonjudgemental with such love and caring irregardless of what plan people are on... there is NO competition here, its just sharing and love and PEACE and okay I will stop before I start crying and chit LOL.... crying from JOY sincerely. Thank you for opening this site Tippy for real thank you. YOU are a GEM in an internet world of seemingly not so nice people sometimes. God Bless you and what You and your team are doing for people... its just WONDERFUL!

Tippy, I just wanna say I am so PROUD of youand MORE proud that the future price for new people to join is ONLY 19.95... thats AMAZING... I worried that was that enough to run a site.... I mean WOW... TRULY you CARE about peoples pockets and budgets .. I mean REALLY how GENEROUS you are to have such a LOW price.... I just cant thank you enough. Cearly the price shows that you are not trying to get rich by ANY means, instead the joining price shows a caring of Humanity and trying to make it available for even poor people and the working poor. wow..... there are NO words to thank you for what you are doing for people Tippy.

Congrats to you and your team and your generous heart... I just ... wow.

How do I really thank someone who is so SELF-LESS? that what I meant by WOW!

huggies

and God Bless you and your team!

PercibleBertrum said...I've been looking for a diet to start this year. You seem so nice. Is everyone as nice as you in the kimkins? What is the difference between the Tippy and the Kimmer place? Is one better for the men?Thank you. Percible


Dear Percible Bertrum,

Thank you for posting on my blog. I commend you for looking for a change of lifestyle in regards to healthier foods maybe and exercise, etc.

In regard to asking me is everyone as nice as you may believe I am, I can only speak from my personal experience, smiles. There are nice people on both sites who focus on the positive and support one another. I was kind of shy when I first got there but that was short lived, because then I got comfortable, smiles. It was more like they got used to me rather than me getting use to them because I have a tendency to type a lot :)

You asked me about the difference between the two sites:

One has been around longer, has a variety of plans available, even cycling between plans and is well established of course. The other website is new and yet is growing rapidly and has very friendly, bubbly people as well. They have several plans as well that are focused on low-carb living, for example the Atkins plan, south beach, etc.

Both offer a variety of information on various topics and not just about food.Both have a good and caring staff and members that we come to know and love and bond with. Both are very supportive no matter what plan you choose to participate in.

Is one better for the men? I believe that would be a personal choice.

Both sites are very supportive of people, regardless of gender, walk of life, color of skin and race, religion, etc. and both groups focus on the POSITIVE in their websites.

So maybe when you have an opportunity you can take a moment to visit both sites as a guest maybe and see for yourself.

I hope I have helped in some way and please understand that I tried to answer your questions to the best of my ability and experience.

I truly believe in my opinion that those two websites set the standard for other websites to follow in regard to "focusing on the POSITIVE and being Professional." Again thank you for coming by and posting.

FAWNING & KUDOS FROM TIPPYTOES & KIMMER



Well, a new blogger has emerged on the scene and her posts have warmed the cockles of my hardened heart. Her name is Fawn and she has been a steadfast and overly fawning admirer of both Kimmer/Heidi Diaz and TippyToes (Jeannie Baitinger). Her idolation of Kimmer has always been disturbing to me, but now she is spreading the love to TippyToes.

TippyToes, in previous posts on her blog, not only distanced herself from Kimmer and the Kimkins starvation diet, but has slammed Kimmer personally.

Reading the comments on Fawn's post below, it would appear that Kimmer and TippyToes are still sharing the same bed, while Fawn is playing both sides of the mattress:

Peace on the Internet by Fawn

My screen name known by many is Fawn (aka: Butterfly)

This morning I had an opportunity to post my Sincere and genuine feelings and beliefs on another site and I wanted to share it here because it is important to me because it focuses on the maturity and positive outlook of two special people: Kimmer and Tippy 12/24/07

Merry Christmas Eve everyone, and there is room for everyone so let's continue to be happy

As we celebrate the holidays approaching and the beginning of a New Year let us bask in the glow of one another successes and ventures

Yes one of our very cherished and supportive sisters, named Tippy, has ventured on her own and we are very happy and proud of her.

To me I view it like, when we help one another and soon they are able to bloosom on their own and we should be and continue to be happy for them and wish them the best in all their successes.

What I admire about Tippy is that she gives much credit to the Kimkins plan and supports people who continue on with the low carb lifestyle of several plans. Never a negative word on her site about anyone or any plan, instead it is just positive support and the goal of healthy and safe living, with much joy and happiness just like this loving and positive, supportive Kimkins site who just wants the best for everyone and embraces everyone with celebration and not a negative word about anyone.

I am VERY proud of this site and hers as well because these are very mature people that focus on the "positive" on their sites. So I raise my low carb chocolate shake this morning in loving honor to the very caring, positive, mature and supportive people: Kimmer and Tippy who both want the best for people in this great big world, where each person has their own style and there is room for everyone.

To me, in my opinion, the Kimkins plan is special and it started me on the road of low carb eating and has taught all of us very much and helped us embrace the real us inside to come out and experience FREEDOM and for many of us, a joy for life for the first time in a long time and I will always be grateful to our Kimmer for creating the Kimkins plan that helped set so many free from a life of obesity and I know from personal experience.

It is pretty scary out there, and people arent so nice sometimes in other websites, but like a den mother to so many, Kimmer never said don't go here or there, she never tried to hoard, instead she embraced and supported us having friends elsewhere as well that we visit and hang out with. Kimmer leaves the light on for people and people embrace it.

We are blessed to have two positive sites from both of them, Kimmer and Tippy, with their own unique styles, sharing and positive attitude and acceptance of people, with the goal in mind to help others. I never thought that was possible as the internet seems to be a competitive market so to speak, but there is a peace and maturity from these two people like no other. We are very lucky indeed.

So let's continue to be happy for one another as we venture forth into the new year of 2008 with a positive, friendly outlook and embrace the joy and celebration of life in this huge world where there is room for everyone

Remember: It is allllllllll about having a positive and loving and caring attitude

Thank you all for reading this post and wishing you all much happiness in your endeavors and life.

Fawn

AND SOME MORE PEARLS OF PEACE AND WISDOM FROM FAWNNNNNN:

A strong woman PROUD of her journey....Grammar Correction*
Will I always be PROUD of Kimmer and Tippy with their Maturity Levels?
Of course I will.


They both have websites but yet they focus on the positive and in MY opinion, they set the EXAMPLE of how POSITIVE websites should be.

Both their websites of supportive. I have never seen either one of them say an unkind word about the other on their websites nor would they allow it. Instead they are happy for one another and both have the same goal to help people as much as possible and they both embrace positive affirmations on their websites.

Again it is my view and belief that I have never seen two websites focus on so much positivity no matter what plan a person is on. They are both accepting, loving and nurturing websites and as competitive as websites are and can be.... these two wonderful women are NOT.

Each has their own style, nobody is trying to copy anybody or anything like that. Instead they respect and give each other space and wish each other well and focus on the people in a positive, supportive and kind manner of Uplifting people!

Yes, they set the standard of living in peace on the internet and I pray other websites will follow the Wonderful EXAMPLE set by these two wise women: Kimmer and Tippy.
