    I just opened up a forum and got a lot of mean replies and people having an off topic argument about aspartame. I don't understand how/why people take the time to discourage others. If you have nothing good to say, then say nothing.

    Also, I heard from another forum that there's an ignore function on MFP, looking for that rm.

    I just ignore the mean posts & search for info that may help me. It has worked for me but I do keep away from threads that don't interest me. Stick with if it's helping you, but don't feed the trolls! You will find them every where on the internet.

    I think the ignore feature was lost with the upgrade and will be coming back.

    Why the year old thread. Isn't there a more recent mean people one?

    In my rather short experience here, most people on this site don't want anyone to disagree with them about anything or question anything they say. There is very little debate or discussion here. It's usually "agree with me". (period)

    Even those that seem to relish being called mean, and claim only to be offering "tough love" get very defensive and accusatory if you question anything they say or offer a different opinion.

    I disagree completely. Everyone here is so open-minded, so I can't even understand where you are coming from or why you would say such a thing.

    I can't believe this thread is a year old. The mean people threads are usually nuked within 24 hours.

    Stupid mean people exist everywhere. The reason I live such a stress free life is that I don't pay attention to them. As the old saying goes, "You can't fix stupid." Well, you can't make a mean person nice either. Just will not happen. So I ignore them and live my life in the opposite way.

    I will say however, that the only people that do get under my skin are those who complain about something, don't do their part to change the situation and continue to complain. But again, it's not worth my time to engage those people.

    It's amazing how great life can be when you ignore those who try to break you down.

    Ironically, you are not complaining about anything here, are you?
