    Damn, it is a love fest in here. It's almost as if no one is talking about religion, politics, or Paleo

    Members of this forum are generally really nice but i must admit when people post the 'rate the person above' type threads I can't help but think people over or under estimate the ratings. I've noticed that a few good looking people (my opinion) get rated down where the less attractive people (again my opinion) get rated up. Let's just be honest

    10!
    I mean, it's even in your name! :)

    Word! So freakin nice & I'm a virgin to forum communication. but I'm guessing there must be some monitoring happening, cause every time I type *kitten* or *kitten* or *kitten* or this is what happens LOL

    hahahahaha

    i know and then its like those people in the date/marry threads where some of them say they'd marry more than one person which isn't even possible except if they were in a certain sect of mormonism where polygomy is OK

    or some of the super mean and untrue things people say in that stupid thread about how you're going to die. I mean i got "ice pick to the eyeball" when anyone who can see my food diary knows I'll die of a heart attack

    it's like they are just playing around with people's FEELINGS and we need to be honest here so nobody gets confused and hurt

    Bahahaha

    Mormons don't practice Polygamy. There are many branches that have broken off from the main religion who may still.

    Now I'm convinced I need to finally see Legally Blonde.

    I think it has to do with why we are here and comment to begin with. We all want encouragement to reach our goals

    I tend to think people are being sarcastic before being nice. I think I've gotten beat down one too many times :)

    [ img ] your link here (must link directly to the image, so it should end in ,jpg or .gif) [ /img ]

    Take out the spaces in the example above and you should be good to go!

    Honestly, it's because MFP starting giving strikes and bans to people who were jerks. I was here long ago and people were total turds. It's a nicer community now for the most part.

    I think those threads are ridiculous anyway. What is this, middle school?

    A few years ago there was a systematic banning of people pretty much anytime they told a person something other than what they wanted to hear. Someone asks about a new, waste of time cleanse or diet or whatever, better not give them facts. That's bullying. What's left is a forum that, while MUCH less useful far as dispensing actual information goes, sure is full of rainbows and unicorn farts. Which I guess was the goal.

    ... maybe, because most of us have a similar goal to lose weight, so we are helping each other out in here. ;-)

    Let me know if that deposit comes through PayPal ;)

    Seriously though, I've read the boards on Bodybuilding.com and a few pregnancy sites.

    Oh my gosh, worst community ever was some pregnancy community I belonged to. I mean, the women were generally nice and supportive, but there was always a group of 'Mean Girls' who somehow found one other and just made it their own personal goal to just make everyone else miserable. I was like, seriously? You're about to bring a kid into this world. Do the world a favor and grow the heck up before you spawn.

    I was a member of one of these. It was awful. They'd always be quick to bash someone or tell them off. Not pleasant at all and it wasn't hormonal I'm pretty sure it was all jealousy based.

    I agree but in some cases it seems that people aren't being honest. I noticed quite a good looking guy got rated really low on a number of occasions the other day and yet less attractive people got rated a lot higher. It is preference but there's no balance

    Those are all validation/popularity threads. And not to mention are extremely vain.
