Rude People

Huebras · June 2013

Is it just me or does anyone else find that there are a lot of rude, obnoxious, belittling people roaming these message boards? Most of the people posting questions here have legitimate questions and need help only to get replies judging them and belittling them. Grow up people.

Unfortunately, MFP is not immune from the malicious bubble that is the internet.

Look ^^
It appears you just met another

Stick to just asking your friends questions via your status, or look it up on bing or Google or whatever.
Definitely don't post things via forums, because yes,
6.5/10 people on mfp suck.

Don't know what it is, I've never seen attitudes & disrespect on other weight loss/support sites like I do here. Weird.

How cute another mean people thread...

I was just reading another thread and the lady said we'd probably all get mad at her, but she made a good point, and she was right, she did get a lot of replies claiming she was rude. But I dont think she WAS rude, she was expressing her point of view.

What I personally find "rude" or whatever, maybe not rude, but something I dont understand, is when people brag about the junk food they can eat, and exclaim they can lose weight, and are like proud of it. And then give details about all the fattening food they eat. And then belittling others because the other person cant do it but they can, and it comes off as hard for those of us who are tempted by it. I dont get this. If we are trying to lose weight, then it sorta hurts when i read about someone bragging about all this food they choose to eat, it almost is like your out with 4 friends and your trying to eat your salad, and then your "supportive" freinds, all choose to eat a huge pizza, cheese dripping cheeseburger, and a big cream pie in front of you and its like hey we can eat this, tough for you! and then gloat about how the next day they lose 5 pounds after eating all that. so those posts are hard for me to comprehend what are they doing on this site? I dont get it.

I think it's interesting that you are putting down 65% of people (including me, directly) in a show of being supportive. :huh:
When someone insults other people, they can't expect a positive response. Imagine walking up to a group of people and saying, "most of you are so rude".

Sounds like you're projecting your own issues on others.

Adini, projection is the Go-to response right after blame here on MFP. Oh, wait, she used projection and blame. Bingo.

athyraslove · June 2013

I posted a thread similar to this my 3rd day here. It was not pretty. LOL. I didn't know you could search through old posts, I'd never been on a forum before. Just ignore it, or don't go on the message boards much. I usually just stick to the motivational posts. Get some friends, and then ask questions that way. There are a lot of really nice, helpful people roaming around the boards too. There are a few trolls, and more than a few people with giant egos who seem to forget where they started too. Such is life. *shrugs*

Just in case you weren't aware of this feature, when you go to the message boards section, there is a button called search and you can type in a keyword/phrase (ex: rude/mean/butthurt) and you can see the threads that have already been created on the topic. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

Don't mind me, I'm just here to be rude to the people who see every opposing opinion as rudeness.

Now that is being rude (Jokingly). I think people are too sensitive, emotional, lazy and easily offended.

Some times people ask the dumbest question. If they would only sit down for a minute and think before typing out the first thing that enters their brain, the answer would be quite obvious.

Haha! But, I WAS already called rude for posting it.

Handy tip:
1) Spot someone being rude.
2) Click drop-down arrow near username/avatar.
3) Click on "ignore user".

I generally wait until I recognize a username for consistent rudeness. Then I target them for elimination. Ahhhhhhhhh; so satisfying! Everytime I see the message that I'm ignoring a certain user, I pretend it's a grave marker.

Good to know. I just went through this tread and recognized a few, followed your advise. Very satisfying.
