    Take what you want and leave the rest. I have a difficult time understanding why people solicit relationship advice on a diet message board.

    Guys. I'm not trying to complain. Sorry if you've heard this elsewhere or if its always been this way. I'm trying to make a point and most of you are confirming it. I've done nothing but read negative comments on peoples posts about the dumbest stuff. If someone is asking for help or has question of course give your honest opinion but why tear into someone over something silly that they wanted to share. If you're sick of reading posts like this I have a solution... DON'T CLICK ON IT.

    One solution, I've found quite effective is to avoid the forums altogether. Or at least the ones with titles most likely to get snarky responses.. . you know the 1200 calorie ones, the I quit I give up ones. . .those sorts. Build a base of friends and then stay off the forums. Works like a charm. Otherwise, you will find that MFP is much like everywhere else in life. . .someone is always looking to belitte someone else or be the cool kid. Just the way we seem to like to interact although many of us claim not to.

    You're barely due!?! That's one long incubation for a baby!

    You need to try a few other online forums if you think this one is bad. This place is Disneyworld compared to, oh, every other forum I've ever participated in or read.

    I'm aware of what happens on the internet. I just dont understand why people can throw a fit over something someone posts on this site. They aren't attacking anyone or doing anything wrong just sharing something and they get picked at.

    Wait, you don't understand how someone gets upset at something over the internet so you got upset at something over the internet.



    what?

    So, if I'm reading this correctly, you're talking about a specific thread with specific responses from specific people, but you decided to start a whole new thread with a general chastisement for everyone on the site, regardless of whether those people participated in that specific thread.

    Good idea.

    When someone posts advice or a strategy for losing weight that your own experience and/or research says is wrong and/or dangerous, how would you suggest that we MFPers respond to said post without any negativity or ignoring the post (thereby passively promoting bad advice), OP?

    It occurs to me that HS was about 21% of the OP's entire life. Perhaps a bit more perspective is in order.

    You're new, you'll learn, and then you will come to the dark side, or be a whiney report happy person. Either way Welcome to MFP
