Another Thread For The Wolves

neandermagnon

You went into your other thread assuming that everyone was judging you. You pretty much just created a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm really kind of surprised that you're surprised that people didn't like being told that they were judgmental.

^^^ this.

but don't stress about it. Lesson learned. Everyone will have forgotten about the thread in a couple of days. Just carry on posting as though none of it happened, and *don't* take it personally. It's the internet. People forget their manners on the internet, but they are on the whole reacting to words written on the page, not you as a person.

thank you :flowerforyou:
I've read this before but my eyes glaze over and I start hearing Charlie brown's teacher.. waa waa wa waa wa....one day...I shall attempt it...

Cliff notes... find a pic you like (I use google images to search). Copy the URL (address in your browser at the top) and paste it between the img tags [img]http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/2011/10/medium_hidinghomer.gif[\img] will look like[/img]

Don't glaze....

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!!!!! ^^^^^^

This. Your first thread wasn't a "hi, I'm new, here's my story." It came off as, "I'm not like YOU people." Of course people are going to get their hackles up. I AM like you, and it got MY hackles up.

I came on here without much weight to lose. And I've learned a bit from all walks of life, from bodybuilders, marathoners, those looking to gain weight, those who lost or are losing a LOT of weight, not just people who have the exact same experiences as I had. And there are a lot of people just looking to drop a few vanity pounds. And those with more to lose will get to that stage, too.

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

Most of the people on this site are jerks, I usually just stick on my own little island... your title just caught my attention... yes avoid the forums here, haha - good luck

I've noticed that folks dressed in fantasy garb (fairies, wizards, etc.) tend to struggle with butthurt in the forums.

close. Just use [ ] instead of ( ) and make sure the last tag is /img, and not just img

There are a lot of awesome people here and a lot of people who don't take feedback very well.....one disagreement turns into "rude" or "mean" or "wolves."

That's actually kind of funny. I can think of one glorious exception, but her current profile pic doesn't involve fantasy garb. So I guess she doesn't count.

Blanket statement much.

I find that a majority of people (On MFP) are very helpful and supportive...I just find humility mixed with humor goes a long way.

OP if you can find the ability to move past what you consider negative the forums are quite informative and good for a laugh.

They must be new to the interwebz. This is one of the tamest forums I've ever seen.

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.

The forums can get quite nasty at times. I don't know what prompted your post but it would have been easier to believe you are different had you not chosen to get nasty yourself.

Best of luck to you in meeting your goals.
