Another Thread For The Wolves

Just what this site needs: another angry, report-happy poster who would rather argue and call names than make nice.
OP, you attract flies with honey, not vinegar. You're tossing around a whole lot of vinegar for someone who claims to want support.0 -
Step 1: Insult an entire forum all at once
Step 2: Get butthurt that they respond with derision
Step 3: Ragequit
OP has followed the script well.0 -
Don't take the forum so personally. People were pretty rude to you on the other thread for no reason, but don't make it into a thing.0

If all this "reporting" is actually going on, I don't envy the poor moderators. I was involved in a thread yesterday that was "reported" a bunch. Seriously, people. Don't you have to be adults to be on this site?
wait... did you really just ask that?!? :laugh:
Alright. I'll give you that one.
Sorry. I had to. That is one thread that needed to die.0 -
"i think whenever someone comes in to a forum and says "ok so i'm actually different from the rest of you" it DOES sound somewhat elitist and the natural reaction from people is either "so what are you doing here" or "actually no, you aren't that special" Now add to that the very personal and difficult nature of weight and body image, and sorry but yes, a message like the one the OP posted is going to result in people "putting her in her place" so to speak.
MFP is a place where people come to get support. When someone of a healthy weight comes in and says "I'm different and I bet no one here understands me", well... lol yeah a girl like me who maxed out at 300 pounds isn't going to have as much sympathy as I would for someone of a healthy weight who says "I know I'm a healthy weight, but I'm just not happy, and I want to get fit"
Is it right? I can't say that. It is expected and pretty much basic human nature? yeah.
Well good for you that you are so miserable with yourself that you don't even TRY to sympathize with other peoples' difficulties that are different than yours. I didn't come in here saying I wasn't happy. I came in here because I'm having difficulty getting down to what I know is a healthy weight for ME. I'm not some anorexic model looking for sympathy. Now run along, troll. Don't you have somebody else to go tear down?"
OP, I got this far in your other thread and then I lost what little motivation I had to be sympathetic toward you. It seems to me you have a lot more emotional (vs physical) work to do in your quest to become the person you want to be. I'd take a good hard look at myself if I were you, and ask myself, why am I so unhappy? Does it really have that much to do with the numbers on your scale? Somehow I doubt it.0 -
Op, I didn't read the whole thread yesterday, just your original post. I also didn't respond there. I will say that with that title, I was in hopes that you were like me; someone who came here to gain weight and lose body fat, because I feel different than many. Not most or all, of course, but many.
I will say if you are going to be on the forums, get thicker skin. Best of luck with everything!0 -
sorry yesterdays thread didnt work out for you.
not sorry this one isn't.
looking forward to being on your ignore list.0 -
If you're going to be angry at anyone, it should be your dentist.
That's not cool.0 -
Congratulations MFP land! You have just proven how half of you are no different than the rest of the severely damaged people in the world who get offended by someone else's story. EXCUSE ME for not already having a band of supportive friends in my real life who experience what I experience. I'll remember that the next time I try and use a website for help for something I don't see going on around me in every day life.
I've done a ton of research in the last couple years and completely changed our family's eating lifestyle. Those who have friended me the last couple days can tell that from my food diary. After a year of finally eating correctly as far as much as I knew how too, I decided to start working out. I work in an office all day and I knew I needed to be more physically active. 4 months later, I'm just now starting to see some kind of a change, but still weigh the same as I did a year ago. I also learned my thyroid was borderline high with my TSH levels.
So yeah, you got offended at some elitest attitude that doesn't exist. I'm here to track my daily intake to learn what I can do different to actually start losing that 17 lbs that I've not been able to lose at all for the past 2 years that I actually started trying to do something about. It's been a long journey with a lot of mistakes and cheating. I also came here to see what more I can learn that I haven't learned already from my research. But all you wolves chose to see something else.
This will most likely be my last starting topic in this forum. I'll just hang on to the many friends I've made and use my newsfeed for my support and advice. The half of you who say I need a life while subsequently spend your time tearing others down because you're miserable and damaged inside need to do something about that miserable damage before you end up discouraging a weaker person away from doing something awesome for themselves.
Nice troll post. Way to spread hate and discontent and be divisive.
"Oh. I am so butthurt, I am going to lash out at half the population of MFP"
That's flamebaiting and trolling plain and simple.
Are you hungry? Can I get you a candy bar?
Yeah. The forums are probably better off without you if you are going to spread hate and disccontent.0 -
I thought the rules on this site specifically said not to correct people's grammar and command of English, etc? Congratulations, troll. You have just been reported.
The rules also specifically state no name calling and no retaliation. You've also been reported.
Went and read your previous thread. Your bad attitude is what got you attacked. Looks like you're ready for more of the same, all the while blaming other people for how they respond to your attitude. This isn't going to go well.
If your plan is to stay off the forums, then stay off the forums. Making big, attention seeking posts that yell I'M STAYING OFF THE FORUMS SO NYAH NYAH doesn't actually count as staying off the forums
This!! If you're hell bent to stay off then why the new post? More attention I'm guessing....0 -
Congratulations MFP land! You have just proven how half of you are no different than the rest of the severely damaged people in the world who get offended by someone else's story.
The other half are just fairly mixed up but eager to encourage and help if we can . Stay!!! X
I'm not leaving. Just won't be on the forums much.
Thank goodness!0 -

Yeah I smelled some definite attention seeking behavior. It almost made me not post... I don't want to reward the behavior.0 -

I wasn't going to respond to this...but I just can't help it.
Let me start with the negative..continue reading for the positive.
I read through your other post - the one that provoked this one. I too took the post as most others did. Regardless of how much we have to lose if any..we are ALL here for the same reason..to be healthy. There are tons of people on here that are actually not looking to lose a thing but have been beyond that and are now just hanging around to continue on healthy and maybe help a person or two. You stated you read through the boards before posting, yet somehow you still came across with "I am not fat like all of you". That in itself will provoke a lot of people to attack - even I wanted to comment saying...ummmm what makes you so special to most on here? I did not..but the thought was there as I read.
As I read on - you replied to a young lady that was trying to..in a very nice way explain to you why you were getting the nasty comments and you attacked her with the nastiest comment on the post. SMH?!?!? This my dear will feed the "wolves" as you call them.
Also calling every person that comments in a non accepting way a troll...you just sealed your fate on the boards. The posts you make stay for some time..and people can click on your post number and read them. This in itself makes you an un-welcomed member by many. When someone sends me a friend request I check their profile and their previous posts to see what type of person they are. To me - you come across with an attitude just the same as the "wolves" I would ignore your request in a heart beat.
Now onto some positive - when posting on the boards you need to be careful how you word things. remember there are thousands of people on here and the internet is famous for misinterpretation. Before posting - read it more than once. Make sure you, yourself are not being judgmental or demeaning to others. If you are called out on something..own up to it and apologize....not attack back!! ~ Regardless of your efforts from time to time you may get some snarky comments - ignore them and reply to the ones that answer your question. If you ask questions - be prepared to possibly hear things you may not want to hear. If this is the case..do not go getting your panties in a bunch. There are some VERY knowledgeable people on here and chances are what they say is correct. If they are not..someone will correct them..I promise! Replying to something you do not want to hear with attitude will only bring out the "wolves" Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you post on a public forum...you will get many of them! If you find you can not handle it - stay off the boards and stick to your wall. The forum doesn't change!
Good luck on your journey!

find a gif/pic you like
right click and select properties
highlight the address
and place it between
like this:
Only make the IMG lowercase instead of caps (img)
should result as such
(copied from another MFP member who helped me and others with this same issue LOL)
for personal pics I use photo bucket
edit to add Thank you blondageh 0 -
