Its not trolling, in many Doctor's offices it is already accepted practice for patients to deny having their weight measured at all during a physical

We are within two years of a prominent lawsuit based on a patient being recommended weight management, if it hasn't happened already

Would you mind not elevating your personal beliefs to a community standard? Particularly when you may be factually wrong?

BTW there are already many complaints about "flagging" being used to remove content that is valid but merely surprising to people...its probably time to take away people's black markers

I don't have any beliefs about the litigation of obesity diagnoses and was not reacting to yours.

Rather, I was replying to your pattern of breaking the site guidelines in many places. You've done it again, unfortunately, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35964586. If you keep that up, we're going to have to ban you again. I'd rather not, so could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this?
