    Yes I notice it. It seems like regular posters have met their goals and have developed a gang member mentality to attack any outsiders . If theyve met their goals and are feeling the need to be mean they should try to do it in real life and see what kind of response theyd get. They may make someone cry or get a much needed punch in the face. Lol sorry was that mean ?

    So, someone who has lost 100+ pounds and reached their goal no longer has value here?

    do you actually by heart even if i my self don't agree with her opinion think that that was what she meant ? really?...


    No im saying if you've been sucessful then you shouldnt be so hard on new members . Otherwise wtf are you doing here ????

    I haven't been successful. Can I continue to be "hard on new members"?

    *kitten* off bit ch

    Hypocrisy. Delicious hypocrisy.

    Really? Was this necessary? You are whining about mean people and then cuss out another? Hypocrite much? You should not use Lamby's image in vain....

    It gets more difficult to be really supportive when OPs (some trolls, some not) ask such silly questions - things they could easily answer in two minutes with a google search. It's also tough with so many off the wall "chit-chat" posts that come up in the feed. I try to be really nice and supportive...but there is a limit to the amount of stupidity I can take.

    But yeah, that's my own character flaw that I'm still working on.

    It's been my experience that every single helpful poster on these forums, every single one, will eventually be called out as a mean, hateful, negative bully at some point or another no matter how many smilies they add to their posts.

    Seriously, I've been called mean/troll for: using copy/paste advice posts, suggesting that someone who feels sick after eating breakfast doesn't need to eat breakfast, linking people to the sexypants thread, asking people further questions about what their routine looks like when they ask for help, because I called someone out when they implied that asking someone to open their diary is bullying.

    Because the accusation gets thrown around so often, threads like this actually add to the negative atmosphere instead of helping it. When everyone on the boards gets called mean on a regular basis, any post that calls out the "mean people" without specifying who they are talking about will end up attacking everyone.

    There is some negativity and aggressiveness on these boards that goes above and beyond what should be here. But it's not the norm and is often called out when these regulars that you seem to dislike see it. Report it (use the actual report function, not the flags that no one pays attention to) or call it out where you see it, but posts like this are never going to solve the problem that you think exists.

    That's not ironic! That's just bad planning. Now maybe if you were marrying a weatherman, and he set the date...
