Neither actually. Why would I be ashamed? I'm mildly offended because of the snide comments accompanying some people's answers and then the fall out from me trying to call out that they were rude.0 -

Nothing you said was "wrong answer"-I was just talking about the person who told you waist belts are awesome.I don't understand which was "wrong answer"
I just didn't want to continue arguing with that person.
Ohhh aight I didn't know which that was referring to.0 -
This has been the craziest thread I've seen in some time. Perhaps everyone should go back to their corners and take a deep breath.
How many calories does MFP give for "Internet forum arguing, 2 hours?"
Now get back to work!6 -

There was nothing to call out on. It was a Simpsons video. Nothing more. But if that offends you, perhaps you need a safe space.
My answer was direct, with an added humours video. I even came back to clarify so that I wouldn't be giving you incorrect advice in case you were mistaken in what you were referring to or that I was misunderstanding what you meant.4 -

No where in this thread did I see anyone insulting you. My goodness if you can't have a regular conversation with complete strangers without going on the defensive then I fear for you.

You weren't rude, you were being sarcastic. My daughter got in trouble at school for being sarcastic a few weeks ago with one of her friends, she told her parents and the parents told the teacher that my daughter wasn't a "good friend"

I wasn't referring to myself in that response. I meant other posters but honestly the offense you're taking at me finding something rude makes me worry for you because if you can't go about your day without involving yourself in the way someone is handling something I'd hate to see what you do to people you see in the real world.

So I'm not allowed to point out that it's a thing that happens a lot?
Alright let me just add it to the list of things I'm now apparently not to do.
1) don't ask questions.
2.) don't point out people being rude
3.) don't defend yourself
4.) don't point out people being rude to other people0 -

I think there's really only one rule: don't "interpret" condescension where there is none intended, implied, or directly expressed.2

Pro-tip, regarding life. This is something I learned back in 2nd (?) grade.
If you don't actually tell people what the problem is, the problem can't get fixed.2 -

Op, it seems as though you are rather bent out of shape about this thread. I personally looked through it and did not find any rude comments. What I did find was a lot of people trying to explain to you that these types of products do not work. Gimmicks and fads don't produce results. Nothing can replace hard work. So look at it like this- you only wasted $6 and now you know the truth. If you have back issues, see a doctor about them. These gimmicks won't help you .2

I am truly trying to understand your logic and where you're coming from.
And don't worry about me and what I "do to people in the real world". The people close to me don't get their panties in a bunch over things and don't interpret truths as condescension.
