I think language matters and I know people who are as big as Christie and I know how language like you used makes them feel. It saddens me that their self worth gets trampled on by thoughtless people who think it's perfectly fine to attack people they don't like with slurs on their weight or other aspects of their appearance.

You may think I'm playing word police, but it seems to me that you are speaking with a lack of empathy and don't realize how your words might possibly hurt people who aren't necessarily your current target.
