    I love to get my sweat on! However, to be polite I wipe everything off as I doubt anyone else wants to experience my sweat!

    Wow.....can we not express ourselves without others hitting us over the head?

    I learned this in the past week and here is the answer...no we cannot express ourselves without others hitting us over the head.

    As you stated in a previous post...this is a discussion.

    Its not its a debate.......I learned that the hard way too.

    its part of the joy of the forums. didnt you get the memo? LOL

    I am rookie...I am getting a schooled today. I will consider all possible scenarios before I do this again.

    ya just gotta have a thick skin LOL ;) learn to laugh with it and not let it bother you and youll be fine.

    so its OK for OP to blast some random person at the gym for sweating too much (heaven forbid this would happen at an actual gym) but when people giver her some jazz for complaining about it w are the "rude ones," really????????????????

    Hey you...i was talking about you.

    you mad OP???

    My gym etiquette is don't look at me, talk to me, breathe near me, and clean up after yourself.

    Just so you know...some people actually start sending you nasty emails ...i just block em before I even read them....then

    They come after you when you comment in other forums. htg.

    Its kinda weird...

    Typically different people have different opinions. This is fine but yes causes debate to a certain extent when opinions get questioned etc. There is typically no hitting over the head until someone gets butt hurt about someone not agreeing with them and starts making rude comments. That is when the head hitting starts. I do believe (and I am not the only one as it has been stated by several others) that you are a HUGE culprit of expressing your opinions and then getting rude and judgemental when people don't agree with you. Welcome to the internet. Not everyone is going to agree with you all the time. You are not superior to anyone and your opinions are not golden rays of sunshine for all to bow down to. If this information is shocking to you then maybe the internet is not for you?

    in your case, when you make blanket statements that are just 100% wrong then you are going to get called on it...

    sorry that is life, deal with it.

    My gym is for old people (you have to be 50 to join) and they keep the thermostat on at least 80, it seems. I can't even walk to the stair stepper without breaking out in a sweat!

    Thankfully more people emailed me to say...omg we are so sorry they are so rude...than the rude people who emailed me that I had to block.

    so....

    If you get rude emails you should report them to the mods. Assuming they are actually rude.

    You seem to think that people on these forums care about you personally. This isn't the case. You make incorrect and absurd statements and people correct you.

    Really, I don't think anyone is as emotionally invested in this as you are.

    How do you know they are rude if you immediately block and don't read them?

    so....

    How do you know if they are rude emails if you claim to block them before you open them?

    Also... are they really rude, or are you just reading a lot into the emails? :confused:

    My guess is that they don't say, "you're 100% right, and wonderful!"
