How to avoid MFP Bullies

twenty20tunnelvision

1. Do your own research instead of asking a forum. Yep, you may have to think for yourselves...Scary, I know.
2. If you get advise, don't respond with anything starting with "Yeah, but.." If you don't agree with advise given... repeat step one.
3. Remember that often in life , a stupid question will receive a stupid answer.
4. Remember that people you may not like, or who have contradicting opinions also have computers.
5. If you can't take the heat, don't tickle the dragon.

Thank you very much. Now you are asking them to do too much - why do research when it is so much easier to ask a question, then get upset when the answer is not to their liking - hence more chance to whine.

And use the search button in the forums to find the same question you asked has been asked 9,999 times before.

Most definitely - how much water should I be drinking; why is the water counter in cups; can I count diet soda as water; should I be eating less than 1200 calories and the list goes on.

6) Don't call other members "trolls" simply because they answer your question with facts rather than fantasy.

I was called a troll twice this weekend. It was flattering.

This also applied to calling people bullies and meanies.

Everyone here should be over 18 - life isn't always unicorns and glitter - get over it.

7] Don't report people because their sense of humor is different than yours.

Good question. I have never seen a bully on this site. They must be pretty easy to avoid, because I have been here forever. I was actually born in the "Introduce Yourself" forum.

FYI stating #3, even though it is true, is considered a personal attack by the moderators.

1)YES to doing your own research first, but newbies haven't caught on and deserve to be gently led in that direction..
2) HALF YES- repeat a search, but discussion boards are to prompt discussion
3) NO NO NO NO NO. if you don't have anything nice to say you don't have to reply at all. NO NO NO. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO KEEP YOUR SNARKY YAP SHUT! In LIFE, as in face to face, you wouldn't behave rudely toward strangers.

NEVER FORGET if you click the little down arrow under someone you can ignore any user you want.. USE THIS BUTTON!.
