I emailed them about it, too.

I told them that the online Do and Don't section was classless and juvenile...and definitely a "DON'T" in my book.

Here is what I wrote: I was directed to your Do's and Don'ts from another site. I haven't read Glamour Mag in years because it's for younger women. I am absolutely appalled that you would have this section online, this is surely nothing like the original Ds and Ds from your magazine. It looks like this site is nothing but viciousness toward overweight people, and has nothing at all to do with clothing. What a very low class section this is. No wonder the young girls all have eating disorders today. You should be ashamed. Nobody deserves to have bad photos spread all over the internet.


Here is the response I got: Dear Paula,
Thank you for writing to Glamour to comment on glamour.com's "Don'tspotting" feature. I have forwarded your letter to our senior editors, including Editor-In-Chief Cindi Leive.
Glamour's October 2008 editorial calling for an end to "body snarking" is a reflection of the magazine's mission of fairly representing and supporting all our readers, and we will continue toward this goal. While we do our best to keep up with comment moderation in our online forums, we also believe in giving a voice to our readers. We do, however, take abuse of our forums very seriously and appreciate your candid feedback.
We will keep these issues in mind as we continue to develop glamour.com.

We appreciate your interest and confidence in Glamour.

Sincerely,
Emilia Benton

You guys are amazing. I'm really glad they wrote back to you Paula that increases my faith in them a little bit. Here's hoping the site admins do something about it.

Never hurts to try I always figure.
