This is the internet, right?
There are no winners or losers or respect givers or takers.
You have a multitude of people from all walks of lives with access to a whole world of anonymity.0 -
Yeah, she so purty.If you know that 95% of MFP people are respectful and eager to help, why do you dignify the rude 5% with a rant?
This is the Internet. There are trolls and ill-advised people everywhere you can land your eyes on. 5% is a pretty low number, based on my experience....
Thank you for the Beyoncé gif. Made me smile. :happy:

I am going to make people mad yep I sure am!
95% of the people on this board are rational intellegent caring people on here to help people. But there is that other 5% that has nothing better than to attack and nit pick anybody for a success, failure, question or problem. We need to be here to support each other, not to attack people. for the last hour I have been watching a breastfeeding mom get torn apart because she lumped her daily breastfeeding in to 1, 9 minute session.
I got attacked yesterday for not making my stepson 20 year old a cake at 9 pm because I already knew I would eat it. I was proud of my husband for sticking up for me and so many people tried to make me feel selfish. I didn't figure I needed to explain humor or the fact that I stock my house with other goodies for him to eat.
People stop for a minute and remember that there is another human being on the end of the computer that is getting the message that they are somehow less of a person. Because they asked for help or didn't even think to add in every bit of information that they didn't realize was going to get picked apart. How does picking someone apart help that person? How does it help the other people who are reading the nasty posts? Just because you are hiding behind a computer screen doesn't give you the right to bully someone online. Yep if you do this you are a bully!
Remember the golden rule if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.
Actually, the Golden Rule is "innocent until proven guilty".
...that it is the duty of the prosecution to prove the prisoner's guilt subject to... the defence of insanity and subject also to any statutory exception. If, at the end of and on the whole of the case, there is a reasonable doubt, created by the evidence given by either the prosecution or the prisoner... the prosecution has not made out the case and the prisoner is entitled to an acquittal. No matter what the charge or where the trial, the principle that the prosecution must prove the guilt of the prisoner is part of the common law of England and no attempt to whittle it down can be entertained

I agree with you that we should all have respect on the boards, HOWEVER, creating a post slapping everyone on the hand for not getting along is not going to make people play nicely! Fortunately for us this is a free site and you can get as little or as much out of it as you choose...The negative people on here are probably getting what they want out of it too! It is the interwebs and while we SHOULD all be nice, we don't HAVE to!! No amount of posts about how people need to go sit on the time out chair is going to change that!! Sorry!0

BLAH BLAH BLAH... this elitist mentality makes me want to puke.0

Isn't today the other brother's ACTUAL birthday? Don't you have a cake to frost or some candles you should be lighting OP? If you're looking for something to do rather than bang your head against a breastfeeding cals thread, maybe bake that 2nd cake.
Buahaha you're amazing. :laugh:0 -

OK, here IT IS! When ANYONE puts their "STUFF" on the Internet they should EXPECT Anything. Yes, the Mean, Dumb, Selfish, Unreasonable and just plain Stupid will chime in for attention, BUT YOU put YOUR STUFF out here for "Feedback". Either overlook the "Idiots" or get a thicker skin. Also, when you see it is a dumb response, why read it. Another thing, "Support" in MY opinion is for people who are on REASONABLE Wt Loss Eating Plans, if it has nothing to do with wt loss Nobody has to agree with Your Life and how you run it.
ETA: LMAO! GOLDEN RULE= Do unto Others as You would has them do unto You...AND if I put My Stuff on the Internet for "Feedback" and expect everyone to support My point of view, that shows I would be a little nuts. I should expect the world to be the world = A big Bag of Mixed Nuts with DIFFERENT Perspectives!0 -

I would argue that there are losers.0 -

Ahhh this thread should help the last 30 minutes at the office fly by.
I agree with the op however sometimes I can't help but giggle at others sick humor like the above ^^ :laugh:
To the op be very cautious before u post..... They will pick you apart lol they are bored and grumpy from not enough calories and/or protein lol0 -
I am deeply concerned that you think 95% of MFP members are rational and intelligent.

Internet hug for that one. MFP people are also witty.0 -

People are incredibly rude!
You mean YOU are incredibly rude.
Or just really certain that your misinformed opinion is correct and cannot possibly be wrong even though it defies common sense.

Interesting.
Wrong...
...but interesting.
Or perhaps by "they" you meant the 95%...or the 5%...of which I'm not a member. I'm actually confused about which bucket I belong.
Whichever it is, I hope it's the one with cake.0 -
look at all the angry people you created!
they are apoplectic!

You have a 20 year old stepson? :huh:
That must be awkward.
jeez I wish I could hear this...
I've heard his voice is positively orgasmic....
:sadpanda:
back when i listened to howard stern on sirius, he would come in occasionally and spend a week at a time as a guest on the show. he is nothing short of brilliant. his sense of humor, his level of intellect, that VOICE....my god...the voice of an angel. check out some you tube clips with him in them...hes awesome...and SUCH a good sport.
he also voices the character "ricardio" on adventure time, which is a wonderful show on cartoon network.
I listened....
it sounded like a lot of nerml nerml mmmmmumbles nerml nerml...

i've been following that breastfeeding topic but chose not to respond. imo i feel that breastfeeding should not be used as "exercise" i commend the woman for breastfeeding but at the same time to me that would fall under the housecleaning category (if i did it fat and i didn't loose weight then it's not exercise). the woman should really be eating WAY more than what she is because she is breastfeeding.
someone link me to the breastfeeding, please.
When you use the "exercise" option on MFP, it just adds calories to your daily goal. I doubt she thinks she is getting a work out from it, but rather is using that as a tool to balance her eating with the frequency of the baby feeding (hence balancing her cals in with her cals out). Not a bad idea given that babies needs change as they grow.
I am inclined to take into consideration that I have a higher than average IQ, but I didn't really think this should take much to figure out.
When I do it I consider it exercise! HA!
Ok I am bored at work! Gotta go...............0 -

i always chuckle when someone say this.
the snark that i see that causes all the butthurt is often times contained in responses to questions that are either stupid (yes they exist) or seen time and time and time again. these "mean" replies are usually authored by the most successful people on this site. people that eat plenty because they know what theyre doing.
seems to me the butthurt ones are so hungry that they forget the difference between an opposing view and bullying.0 -

what is cake without some breastmilk to wash it down...0 -
It depends on what kind of cake it was!
Kudos for you not wanting to make a cake at 9pm. Also it really doesnt matter what people say or think, especially on the internet...or in real life. Keep standing up for yourself!0 -

ive never come so close to peeing my pants as i just did when i saw this gif0 -
as for your other topic which i went through and read (some) i think it would have helped from the very beginning if you had pointed out your step son is 20 because when you read your post it is easily interpreted that your step son is a child - hence the rude comments. knowing that he's 20 i would have said hell no too.
Perhaps the OP assumed that everyone read her profile first. It states in her profile she has 2 stepsons who are 20 and 21 or something to that effect. I have had other people assume that I would have read their profile before responding. I don't know why they would think that. Who has time for that? But I have been "called out" for not knowing something plainly posted in someone's profile before making a forum post too many times to dismiss it as a non-possibility.0 -
I think I'm just gonna set up camp here until someone links that breastfeeding thread or OP announces she didn't have enough cake to go around and wishes she'd baked that second cake.
:laugh: Maybe someone will also link that other thread about the woman who didn't want a cake for her birthday where the whole thread devolved into chaos and fights about sugar addiction, eating disorders, clean eating and every other issue that gets aired daily around here. :laugh:0
