Rude People

I've always wanted to know, why start a thread about this? Why not just reply to the post that bothered you in the actual discussion in which it occurred?
So OP deactivated and once again I don't get this question answered by someone who actually does this. I swear I'm gonna get a reply from one of these little boogers someday. I don't even care that much about the answer anymore but it's been so illusive it's like a quest now. My MFP white whale
I am gonna start a rude person thread and NOT bail... just for you.0 -

I feel your burden...
...except that mine is an answer to "specifically which toxins are eliminated by a specific liquid diet that would not have been eliminated from the body while eating regular food?"
Best of luck to you on your quest for answers.
And to you as well, fellow seeker of the unfathomable depths of derp.

OP deactivated account, most likely done immediately just to be a punk.
nothing new..

I used to belong to a forum for pregnant and new moms...THAT was a vicious site. Whoever thought to throw a bunch of sleep deprived, hormonal, fat ladies on one site is a sadist. MFP is tame, trust me.0

My understanding is that OP has already flounced. In which case, it is time for gifs.

Here is the nice people topic0 -
Someone needs to do a study to determine if the proliferation of internet forums is directly correlated to the thinning of peoples skin. Without any data to back this up(like some other posters here), i'm saying YES! I blame Al Gore...0

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.
Sounds like you're projecting your own issues on others.
No....I have seen people post on how are they are mad at themselves because they made a bad food choice and someone mocks them for feeling bad about it. Then they go on to talk about their carefree weekend and how they lost weight on Monday. It's just rubbing their nose in it.0 -
Meh. Good judgement is a good thing. Mindlessly supporting whatever the group says is correct is kind of how they did things in Germany in the '30s and '40s.0

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.

Generally the point of those threads is to illustrate that for *most* people, cutting out the foods you love is not necessary for weight loss.0 -

Considering that I've seen grown women in a Bible study group go at each other with teeth bared over which type of baby wearing is good and which type will render the baby completely crippled, I can only imagine.0 -

I really think you're misinterpreting those posts. It's people pointing out, "I am working out consistently and generally watch what I ate, and I can still eat things I love and lose weight and/or I had a bad day but it didn't set me back." I have seen tons of these posts, and that's generally what they're saying.
They're not rubbing anyone's nose in anything--they're doing the complete opposite by saying, "One day will not undo everything" or "If you work hard and watch what you eat, you can still eat that ice cream or those cheese fries and lose weight. I did it."
Your initial thought being that these posts were rude, and then stating that it's not rude but you don't understand it is both heartening and depressing. Heartening, because you could admit it was your own schema that made it seem rude, not necessarily the other person. Depressing, because it highlights how often people get banned/told they're rude for another person's flawed or insecure perception.0 -
Unfortunately... this site is FULL of EMOTIONALLY messed up people. Otherwise a lot of us wouldn't be where we are... Right? Some are jerks, and some take what you say as a personally attack. Anytime you post something, you must consider this is a public forum and some people will probably say something you don't want to hear. And yes, you may ask for advice, not like it, then consider someone rude for it...It's no different than walking in a crowd irl and asking advice there, or say your opinion about something.
Just gotta learn to ignore it unfortunately... you remember when you were a kid? We're adults now, I sure hope we have all learned to ignore the "bullies".
For the record, I see no issue with a topic like this

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.
Hah, it's definitely NOT just you. I get where you're coming from & I notice it too. However, if you have a problem with someones remarks, you can either A. address it to them OR B. ignore it. Unfortunately, not all of us live by the phrase "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".0 -

Correct...because that was Thumper's dad's advice for juvenile rabbits. It may or may not always apply to human adults...and as we are all adults here (at least according to the ToS), sometimes adults want to express their opinions without wrapping them in sunshine and rainbows.
Well, okay, at least many of us do...
...and when we do, you can be certain that the "rude people" brigade will routinely trot us out to publicly shame us for it.
Edit: because apostrophes matter...to me.0 -

Darn, then I guess I am just a juvenile rabbit. *rolls eyes* No, seriously, I was just raised to be nice to people and treat others the way I would like to be treated, Internet or not. Anywho, hope you guys all have fun continuing to flame the poor guy who posted this thread in the first place. That is real MATURE 0
