    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.

    Very true- If i stick to my friends feeds no drama, on the forum, yes drama like there is in every forum, there are always people that will not be supportive or be taken as rude. I don't visit these forums every day, it would drive me batty. ;)

    An electron and a proton go into a bar
    "what'll you have?" asks the electron
    "I'll have a baileys with lemonade"
    "Are you sure?"asks the electron
    "Yes I'm positive!"

    There go positive and humour in the same post

    I think this is the negativity the OP was talking about. You made her deactivate. I hope you are proud of yourself.

    I thought high school was a blast! Nothing negative from then.

    Two red blood cells were floating around the spleen.
    "I think I have an rH factor" said the first RBC.
    "Are you sure?"
    "I'm positive"

    Positivity is also key to a healthy and happy lifestyle! :D
    Positivity lies in the person though. Someone can inspire positivity to another as much as they want, but if the person receiving it is basically a negative person, it won't matter.
    And a truly positive person ISN'T affected by the negative people around them.

    I think OP should spend some time on the Misc. I am sure she would love it there, and find it a very welcoming, loving place.

    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.

    I don't know if anyone agrees with me but there are allot of *****y negative people on this site. I understand that thats just how life is but why bring it here? To a website full of people looking for support, friendship, and eventually a change in their lives. Everyone needs to rethink how they are coming across and realize that you don't know everything. Take a deep breath before posting on someones message board and before posting a discussion yourself. Have a great day everyone! Stay positive and keep working towards your goals!

    If you decide to rejoin - please add me as a friend - I'm sorry you have had this kind of experience. Please reconsider and surround yourself with better people on here.

    my thought is yes maybe there are some mean spirited people here. So what? no one says you have to be friends with them. Be friends with like minded people and forget the others exist. Now go post in the bang, date, kiss, hump your leg thread!
