Well hang around a little longer and you'll see that people do get offended when told they are wasting money. Often you'll see the reply "I didn't ask for advice on how I spend my money, I just asked for YOUR experience with it". So try laying off jumping on the "Let's call everyone mean" bandwagon and see that there actually are tons of people on MFP that just don't want to hear the truth. They just want validation.

Right, so let's call people mean but at the same time talk about punching and slapping people. You know who does stuff like that? The OP's when they get mad.

Most, if not all, of the OPs who are offended by the truth suddenly disappear from MFP. I assume to watch television and eat bonbons and blame their weight gain on their thyroid condition.0

I have a motto: what other people think of me is none of my business.
Make sure your self esteem is intact and ignore all rude comments.

ok. I have opinions just like everyone else on here. I believe the original post was, "how to handle rude comments" I answered her, and the last time I checked, it's not against the law to imagine punching someone, unless that has changed. Get over it already. Geez!0

Last time I checked it's also not against the law the to say "Here we go again"
no, it's not.0 -

I would never let somebody's comment, rude or otherwise effect me in a way that I had to deal with it. It's a comment, no big deal.
If somebody has an opinion that is worth considering then I would have a conversation with them on the subject. Otherwise it doesn't factor into my life.0 -

Right, we all do have opinions. But, people come on here all the time and ask for help and then get upset and balk at people who give them advice contrary to what they want to hear, and then everybody else who says what the OP wants to hear gets pats on the back. This is considered rude behavior in my book.just imagine that you're sucker punching em in the face and that you're not gonna be hauled off to jail! Works for me!
I personally think it's 100% okay to debate and argue, but violence whether physical or spoken is paying like for like, which as mom used to say, "Two rights don't make a wrong."
You can't expect to post such a volatile response and not have anyone else have an opinion about it.

Yup, pretty much. It's the same attitude we see from the people mad that everyone is not supporting every dumb idea they have. They call everyone rude then start cursing them out. Man everyone is so rude, I'll just imagine punching them in the face. Lol.
come on now. You just did the same thing yourself, didn't you? You can dish it out, but you can't take it when someone fights back. How rude of you! Doesn't feel so good, does it now?0 -

I don't think so.0 -
Gotta love when the rude thread becomes a contest of who can be more 'rude'. Everyone can be a jerk sometimes if u decided to take it that way. The end. Now lets sing kumbiya and hold hands0

I think a little hint if someone is wondering if they are being too harsh or mean or whatever is to perhaps check how many flags they've received. .. if they total into the hundreds then perhaps there is something to it. ...
I realise the flagging system here is flawed, but not so much that you're receiving multiple flags regularly for no good reason

What did I do exactly? I don't recall complaining about rude people on MFP. I do recall pointing out the irony in your post.
How does what feel? What was I supposed to feel? My feelings aren't moved by random strangers online because in reality letting insignificant people have control over your emotions is like letting someone rent free space in your head. It doesn't make sense.
you're right. Sorry. It's not worth it to get mad or offended by what somebody says. Life is too short. I realize that now. Thanks
Oh, and I thought you were saying you were gonna punch somebody in the face, but I see now you were just kidding because you said LOL! I'm sorry, please accept my apologies.0 -

The flagger is usually the OP who doesn't get the answer s/he wants.0 -

That's what I meant about the "flawed" part. Not every flag received is from one of those posters...

I know. I agree. It doesn't get anywhere, does it? I usually just read the posts when people are going back and forth with one another, and now I'm part of it. Hey, everyone makes mistakes. I'm not gonna argue with anyone anymore. This is, afterall, supposed to be a support team.jenncornelsen wrote: »Gotta love when the rude thread becomes a contest of who can be more 'rude'.

@rocknlotsofrolls I think the same way sometimes. It doesn't make you a horrible person to me. Now if you start up a game of Sims 3, create a a multi-Sim neighborhood filled with Sims that represent the IRL people you want to punch in the face, create your own Sim, and go about getting everyone in the pool and deleting the ladder, then there might be a problem.rocknlotsofrolls wrote: »rocknlotsofrolls wrote: »rocknlotsofrolls wrote: »ok.

Not that I've done that.

When I go out and exercise, there is a guy on the street (well, used to be... he moved) but he would make "Fatty" comments to me and I would just ignore it because he was was a jerk, balding, bigger than me and in the middle of a messy divorce and a restraining order from half the block. In other words, he was angry and just looking for taking out on someone... and I was there.
For the most part I ignore 'em be it IRL or on the interweb but sometimes they get under my skin and then, I just try to be the bigger (no pun intended lol!!) person and walk away0 -

By that logic you aren't allowed to say anything unless it's all bubbly nice with sugar on top, because someone might feel sad from it.
What's a tired, horse-beaten topic without a strawman?
Because after all, there can't possibly be ANYTHING between being a bubbly sugary giggling moron, and being a complete azzhat.
But I think a ridiculous "Oh fine, then I'll just be completely sugary-disgusting instead"-style nonsense comment was pretty much bound to happen at some point, sooner or later. In this case, sooner.
