hmmm and be insulting is something that one should be proud of???0 -
oh yeah cliff notes... you didn't literally say "you are illiterate", but that is what you were implying by that strange and uh very unimaginative "diss". did one of your fb friends say that to someone in an argument about gun rights?-1

I need to ask here, because it IS true that a lot of threads get posted twice or three times here. Isn't there a way to get a thread closed with a link to a previous thread or something?
As in: Issue discussed at length here. [link]
Thread closed.
Just asking because it seems that the right now it just leads to a whole amount of annoyment and frustration from both sides every time without advancing any debates. Oh and let's not forget the CICO vs nutrients threads that end up with people saying the same thing, but coming from different points of view, for twenty or so pages.
Then again, maybe it's better this way, as otherwise one would have to go through pages or pages to find the information needed and may possibly miss it?
I was just wondering as I haven't been around for that long, but that is how I usually see it happen on large forums that have recurring debates. 0 -

All the good information tends to get lost in all the mumbo jumbo. Really, the best thing for people to do is what is going to work best for them. If cutting out all sugar works best for them, then they should just do it despite what anyone else says. I think what gets people up in arms is when people who decide to do something like that acts as if everyone should do it, or they're not doing it right.0 -

i believe the only way is for the OP of the thread to ask for it to be deleted/removed…other than that we are pretty much in thread purgatory with the repeats...0 -

I see people do it all the time in all kinds of forums. Although I don't do it, I just figured it was something that never ceased.0 -
i hate it so much. haha almost as much as Tuesdays. I'm glad you don't do it.0

Lol, I remember the AOL chat rooms, especially the role playing ones. Those people were intense with it.

That makes sense. It just irks me a bit that at times, whenever these repeated threads come up, they are often met with a lot of (please read to the end before arguing) a lot of comments that may come across as hostile. I am not talking about the "hard truths" comments, I am taking about the more snarky, sarcastic comments that don't really contain any information as to why OP is wrong and just come off as condescending or hostile.
Sure, some snark is fine and a healthy part of humour, but in the long run, when a thread becomes 80% snark it becomes unhelpful and can make people feel unwelcome. On the other hand, I understand that people get sick of repeating the same thing over and over again. (hell, I've been here for three weeks and even I am already sick of some of the threads)
So I was just wondering if "Link-Close" wouldn't be easier. I guess not though.
That said, this particular thread isn't too bad. It's actually taking a rather entertaining turn. 0 -

I get where you're coming from. If you read the entire thread, you saw where I asked if newbies were welcome. I definitely understand long time members getting sick of the same threads/topics. Yet on Day 3 for me, it made me a little wary of starting a thread or responding because I wasn't sure what was going on until it was explained to me.
A moderator should be able to easily combine threads on the same topic, but I'm not a moderator here and have no desire to be. Been there and done that elsewhere and not doing it again. What a pain! lol0 -

I've been using the app but am curious about the dynamics of the forum. Thanks in advance.
you are more than welcome here..
some us just get tired of the same ole posts over and over which tend to be:
1. sugar is evil
2. detoxes/cleanses, etc
3. calories are not really calories
4. carbs are evil
5. CICO does not work for me because I am "special'
6. and of course everyones favorite, clean eating threads…
Nothing wrong with good debate and sharing information ..but the forums tend to be a waste land of food fear mongering and pseudo science….

There is always debate in any long running forum about linking to old content and just going with the new threads that rehash the same thing over and over. Any community that tries to just say "search this it's been answered"' will eventually die out since there are only so many topics. It can be annoying to older members, no doubt, but it does keep the community more vibrant and engaging for new members.0 -

Sassy, post what you like, when you like. Don't pay any attention to any of the don't do this or don't do that crew. It is a free forum and is not controlled by any of the members. As long as you follow the official forum rules and stay within the guidelines - post what you like.
Don't search old discussions because they are just that - OLD. It is much more fun to be a part of a NEW discussion and learn as you go along. Wading through pages and pages is a waste of time. If existing members find it tedious, they have the choice not to read it or be involved in the discussion.
It is not necessary to back things up with scientific evidence, it might be super important to some but me, I don't give a rat's ar$e - lots of things which were thought to be fact are no longer fact.
So just go for it honey and I hope that you meet lots of wonderful people along the way who will be of use to you in helping you stay healthy. You have a very unique medical history and I hope you continue to maintain your wonderful sense of humour.
My Fitness Pal is a lot more than just weight loss and I hope you get to enjoy those benefits and "screw the rest" xx
And for the record, I hadn't see the Fed Up thing so thank you OP for posting it. I have the right to see something and make up my own mind as to whether it is beneficial to me or not. I do not need the thought police to veto things on my behalf.-3 -
And this ^^ is why we cannot have reasonable discussions like adults.0

I already knew processed foods aren't healthy, but this documentary was very interesting and extremely motivational. If anyone is interested, I watched it on Amazon, but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere. For me, education is motivation. The thought of eating processed foods this morning after watching this makes me cringe! I hope it sticks!!!
So what did you have for breakfast, OP, if you didn't want anything processed?0 -

It is everywhere on MFP. It's ashame.
I find MFP pretty middle of the road as far as discourse goes. Not always the most pleasant but usually not too bad. I am on only a couple boards that are for "ladies and gentleman" where the rules of courtesy are strictly enforced, those are truly rare, and I'm on a few where it's the Wild West, which are much more common on the Net.
Overall, it's not so bad but it does get a little terse at times.
