    If you upgrade to the premium version of MFP, they filter out the mean ones for you otherwise you just have to deal with it. ;) damn free ad supported version.

    Snort!

    Nope, but I've received random encouraging PMs from strangers.

    I hate those! Take the false positivity elsewhere. Especially since I've lost most of the weight and am working on vanity pounds now.

    OP, screencap it and when you see them post again, put it up. Bullies hate sunshine.

    I sometimes get encouraging ones but never mean ones. I think the encouraging ones are creepy too. If I don't know the person, it gets deleted now before I read it.

    no, never mean, sometimes awkward and rude, and Ive had people who are mean add me, but thats all,
    maybe they got the wrong person? or theyre just silly, some people on here are petty and rude and mean,
    I usually block them,

    Nah, that will just get the OP a spanking. No point getting a strike when the post will just be deleted as soon as a mod sees it.

    does anyone else get mean private messages from people they have never seen or interacted with on here at all?

    No, that's so psycho! I would have screen shotted it and posted to shame them. You are beautiful and if anyone is sending you a mean message it's because they are so miserable with their life.

    I'm pretty sure I have never gotten a message from a stranger ever on here. Maybe a friend request from one.

    I've received one or two encouraging PMs, and the occasional question. Honestly, most of the PMs I receive are come-ons (not that I'm tooting my own horn; it always baffles me because there are WAY hotter/fitter/smoking hot babes here), to the point that I don't check them as often as I might otherwise. I've never received a mean PM.

    I'm sorry to hear that you have, though. Some people are just messed in the head. I once posted in an infidelity support board, and had someone google search my username and find contact information on me. They emailed me pretending to be the other woman, and said some really horrible, awful things. I know for a fact that it wasn't her (there was no way for her to know that I'd been posting online at all, let alone find the specific forum I was at), but it was still really hurtful. At the end of the day, some people just get a kick out of being cruel for no particular reason. Those kinds of people need serious professional help, because there's obviously something wrong with them.

    No I haven't - thank goodness. I can't imagine what would motivate someone to do that other than the fact that they just have nothing going for them and want to spread the misery around.

    People can be really nasty. You're such a sweet natured, beautiful person. Pay no attention to it, you could report them though. Don't know how it works on mfp but such an act would usually get a member banned for good.

    I just get really graphic sexual messages that make me want to mask my IP and add an extra lock to my front door.
