ad ho·mi·nem [ad hom-uh-nuhm]1
adjective
1. appealing to one's prejudices, emotions, or special interests rather than to one's intellect or reason.
2. attacking an opponent's character rather than answering his argument.
“I understand the definition to mean that when I say "Edie, I think you're wrong because..." I am providing a reasoned argument to why I think he's wrong. When Edie says "I think you're wrong because you're a retard!"' he's lost the battle”
Retard…to hold back, slow down, delay, check, hinder and impede. It think that covers very well what you and your ‘readers’ try to achieve. Though to be honest, in your case, mentally deficient may well apply. Let’s face it, it does not require the brains of Einstein, or iron will, to get to a safe and healthy weight. Where do you think you have gone so far wrong ?
Tell me Carbo, what do call a person who was fired in disgrace as a forum mod. Whose own forum collapsed and a was complete faluire. What do you call a person who sets up a blog, and does nothing but pour scorn and ridicule on innocent people. From Jay Wortman, AliB, Dillinger, Fergus, Hanna, and so many more. I see your cronies were running down Viv recently. The day before your misfits were running down Borofergie and Grazer. What do call a person, who after more than three years trying to loose weight, is still in the morbidly obese range. What do you call a person that states you have the right to remain anonymous, yet twice signpost people, on your blog, to my private address. I’ll save the rest till next time, with you, there is sure to many next times. You are very crafty aren’t you. Placing a post inviting people to say the words, you have not the courage to say yourself, despite hiding cowardly in the dark, anonymous and gutless !
You may be looking for a part in the next Robin Hood film as Friar Tuck, or maybe Billy Bunter, possibly Laurel and Hardy is more your scene, (I am sure Graham will be happy to play the thin bloke) but many diabetics are not. Having a go at fat or over weight people I hear you say ? I was a fat person. I chose to lose the foods that lead to my obesity, while you were pushing your 400 carb loaves and pedalling Orlistat.
As I said on here yesterday, most of our posts and comments are offering links to sound information, peer revued scientific papers and simple recipes that result in weight loss or maintenance. The sort of foods that lead to safe BG numbers, safe lipids and nil/minimal medication. Let me give you a clue as to the quality of your blog. You recently posted a good recipe for pate, not one single comment, you also looked for a pat on the back because you can walk, three comments. Yet when you post an article encouraging your cronies to ridicule or humiliate good people, your comments section goes crazy. Says it all don’t you think. And you, and almost all of your commentors anonymous of course. Don’t forget I have offered to meet you twice.
I know women and children read this blog, so I will refrain from what I would like to call you. Keep up your good work, and thank you for giving us the opportunity, to promote our low carb lifestyle, and it’s many benefits once again. Try it sometime, and you may not have to go another three years in the morbidly obese club. You may have good control of your BG numbers, but morbid obesity won’t get you to an old age pension. Why are you and your readers so hell bent on taking others with you ? Check out diabetes.co.uk, look at the massive amount of evidence. Low carbing is reducing weight, BG numbers, and lowering medication, even you must feel the joy coming down the wires.
As Borofergie said recently, only a ninja can sneak up on a ninja, and you certainly ain’t no ninja.

Just because Tubs keeps what he considers to be good numbers doesn't mean he's not working his pancreas to death. His weight problem is quite likely a sign that his body is having to produce abnormally large amounts of insulin in order to keep his blood sugar in check.
What could be the answer to such a conundrum?
I believe the best way to regard Carb's blog is to think of it as a lightning rod which takes the dangerous nonsense away for the newly diagnosed at d.uk
Carbos certainly no ninja,but a winja he certainly is!
Carbo has risen from his slumber to pen a new post "A riposte" in a response to your blog post.
Part of carbos riposte.
"Follow the recommendations found throughout this blog - find out what works for you and keep with it."
Fair enough you might think, but were and what the hell are these recommendations.
I have observed the aforementioned riposte. And will reply, in our forthcoming, full colour, souvenir weekend edition of Carbos‘ Crazies. Get your free copy of Carbos’ guide to maintaining long term obesity, making statins your friend, and the spectacular 400 carb loaf recipe. This bumper addition will also include the rise and fall of Kenny boy, and our part in his downfall. Be sure to play our new game, Who owns that rucksack !

Carbo/tub's diet.
"1I don’t normally end the day this high, but Friday was just one of those days when the ‘phone wouldn’t stop ringing with yet another customer making impossible demands and expecting delivery “first thing Monday”;
2On call today, so got up at 7am today. It's a Saturday, so breakfast with the family is a ritual we insist on sticking to, the fasting reading was taken at 7:14 and the pre breakfast taken at 9:26. Two large, strong(ish) coffees in between;
3Alright, alright. Breakfast was slightly different than planned and included "two slices of toast with the fishcake" and half a tin of tomatoes;
4I know I said there would be very little exercise this weekend, however having already made plans for this evening's dinner, there were no spring onions in the house which meant traipsing to and from Tesco, a measly 3,000 steps or, according to my pedometer, just under 2km, or 236 calories later;
5Lunch was an "open corned beef sandwich" with some more of that home made coleslaw. I also had a coffee with a couple of ""plain chocolate digestives;""
6Dinner was a stir fry with "noodles", I prepared two marinades, one with oyster sauce, and t'other with five spice. Both with a splash of walnut oil, some soy sauce, spring onions, and some garlic. Left the meat marinating for a couple of hours before frying in a little olive oil. Resounding success, everyone came back for seconds;
7Fasting reading was taken at the slightly later than usual time of 8:35 on Sunday;
8Breakfast was a very agreeably late one, 10:30, on account none of us could be bothered to put the fish in the oven! Our own fault really. Threw in some mushrooms as well and rather an ""heroic amount of toast"" (and boy, did I pay for the toast), on the whole, a very lovely brunch type meal. Brunch on the patio would have been fabulous, with the garden looking so lovely, just unfortunate that it was raining at the time;
9Lunch plans changed! Sunday Lunch at the local hostelry, mainly because we decided to celebrate some good news on the daughter front and the wife is feeling a bit more chirpy than normal. 2,215 steps on the pedometer, or 1.5km or 170 calories;
10Lunch at the Barn Owl in Worcester was a share of one of those combo platters ("potato wedges", "breaded mushrooms", ""breaded mushrooms"", and "garlic bread") with the family, followed by a Cajun Salmon salad. I'm not a food critic, but I doubt it was one of their best! but it did. Regrettably, dinner was cut short by a call from work (darn it, double time!) and a hasty retreat home so that I could be of assistance;
11Sunday turned into one of those late running days, so I skipped dinner and had a late(ish) supper which was cheese and a few crackers;
12Blimey, I'm impressed! I was burning the midnight oil yesterday (and today) and didn't get to bed until 3am. I have noticed, in the past, that late nights have adversely affected my fasting blood glucose levels, obviously not today. Back to the mundane, breakfast was "two slices of wholegrain toast";
13Lunch was "one round of ham and sweetcorn salad sandwiches";
14Dinner was "taglietelle pasta" with a home made Bolognese sauce and some more of that home made coleslaw;
15Early riser today, up at 4am in order to catch the red eye to the City. Breakfast? A very crunchy "two slices of wholegrain toast" "again";
16As expected today was quite difficult, not too many opportunities to test without causing embarassment. Lunch was a quite execrable "beef stew with dumplings", seasonal(?) veg and "dauphinoise potatoes" with a "healthy chunk of bread". I was hungry, so I ate the lot!
17Late train home. Supper was a tomato and basil chicken "pasta salad" from Sainsbury's"
If your a Type2 diabetic follow these recommendations at your peril!!

Graham, can't seem to find those "recommendations" on tubs' site, where are they again?

"Graham, can't seem to find those "recommendations" on tubs' site, where are they again?"
To be honest Gem I've no idea were they are, but looking the foods he consumes I would think those recommendations would include copious amounts of "Toast" as part of a healthy low GI diet.
You could if you wish do a search of his blog yourself, I think you may find it a bit daunting though.
Cheers
Graham
