    If this has anything to do with your "Shakelogy" post, in which you asked ""Are they a waste of my money? If so, why?", and posters responded with honest answers to your question, then Yes, you are too sensitive.

    No silly, I was accused of being a spammer :grumble:

    So, you interpreted one post suggesting that you actually promoting Shakeology and only pretending to ask questions as "rude" and extended that into claiming that a lot of people on the forums are rude? In that case, you're definitely too sensitive.

    Oh boy, whatever.

    Do we have a rolling eyes smiley??????

    Just an FYI, It wasn't just in my Shakeology thread and I noticed it in other members threads as well.

    :noway: <--sort of??
    :huh: <--kinda? Idk lol
    :yawn: <----...maybe?

    Generally, in all avenues of life, people are *kitten*. When they have a tiny piece of knowledge thrown into that, they become know it all self righteous *kitten*. And thus you have internet forums!

    Edit: You know, where applicable. I'm not saying everyone on here is a self righteous *kitten*. Most people are just annoying with it (like every thread MUST REFERENCE MODERATION. lol) -- so in some cases you may be a little sensitive, but that's okay. :-)

    or do a lot of people on here have attitudes?

    I ask a question and I get a lot of negative responses. Not always, there are many of you that are phenomenal in constructive criticism and I thank you for that.

    And I'm not just speaking for myself. There are many newcomers on here that are in need of help and are steered away from this community because of the negative feedback.

    Just my opinion and I would love to hear yours.

    Just my opinion but there are plenty of stupid negative people on here as well as plenty of decent ones.

    I think there are many people on here with strong opinions. We have all shaped up using our own ways, some tweaked from conventional methods and some strictly following a diet/exercise regime. I think that we all do what works for us but there are a few fellow MFP people who think they know everything and get a bit sarcastic when people who are starting out don't quite yet understand the ins and outs of weight loss and eating healthy. On the whole I have found these forums informative and most people are friendly enough but I sometimes think twice about posting a topic as I am worried about getting told off by the major health freaks with opinions.

    Also people can be a bit mean by one little typo...

    I think at the end of the day forums tend to be positive and negative, that's the internet for u, if u don't want the answer, don't ask the question :)

    I would strongly advise any "newcomers" stay off the forums until they know what's going on and how things work.

    Sounds odd right?

    I only say that because "some" people look at the forums as Entertainment and Fun Time. Which is fine for them but comes off very hurtful, mean and even rude to others.

    It sounds odd because as a newcomer, the first thought might be to jump in and be part of the community, when in reality, sometimes a few good friends can get you on your way and THEN jump into the forums. Anything goes on these forums. Don't believe me? hang out and read for a while.

    Start with a couple fiends and know your way around things. Then hop on the forums. Otherwise, discouragement could drive you off the site and for some that means giving up on their goals.

    My advice wouldn't be to stay completely away from the forums, but to lurk for awhile and get a feel for how things work and which posters know their stuff.

    Sometimes I think it depends on the questions asked. For people who have been around quite a while it can be difficult to see their 1,000th "I'm eating 500 calories a day, losing my hair, and unable to stay awake, what could be wrong?!" thread or the millionth shakeology/body by vi/whatever quick fix post because those are usually started by coaches/salespeople to try and drum up business. The advice doesn't usually change. You'll get people screaming do this and others screaming violently don't do this and people in the middle giving more moderate advice.

    For new comers to the boards I always suggest using the search function. Most of the questions we ask as newbies have already been answered a hundred times over and a few minutes looking through past threads can usually find an answer.

    This is pretty much what I was going to say, it does seem a lot of new people can't use the search option....always check there first I say.

    THere are tough people everywhere, on here and in real life. WHat gets me is people who care too much about this. If someone is a jerk to you, either be a jerk right back or avoid, no point whining about it!
