This is the thread that prompted this post, just for reference:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1207462-i-am-not-feeling-the-love?page=7#posts-18886868

Disagreeing with someone or being blunt is not hate. I doubt anyone on this website cares enough about anyone else here to actually hate them.

This is heavily on my mind because I watched The Monuments Men earlier this week. There is a scene where they're looking for art the Nazis stole and they come across some barrels filled with little bits of gold. One character reaches in, looks a little more closely and says, simply, "Those are the teeth."

I don't think I need to explain what that means.

That, my dears, is hate. What happens on this website is human interaction and some people simply clash in personality and manner. It is not hate.

    But. But. Someone told me eating 1000 cals a day while working out for two hours is a bad idea. Is that not hate?

    Unfortunately some people make nutrition and weight loss into an emotionally charged topic. I am sure that many of us regular users started out at varying degrees of this as well. But people need to learn that while some people are answering just to poke fun at them, others are disagreeing with them in the hopes of helping them and others who may be reading that post.

    I totally feel what youre saying, but...

    When people on here use that word "hate" or "haters", its referred to as a slang word meaning that people stick their two cents in where its not wanted and /or they give negative feedback where it is warranted. And typically those saying they have "haters" really need to take a step back and realize this is a public forum and to not be so sentive to the antics/ opinions of strangers, especially if they post something that is narcissistic and/or innapropriate.

    Some people are naturally negative. Let them be that way! They obviously are just unhappy with themselves and wanna put thier bad juju on others.
    Dont sweat the "haters!" LOL :tongue:

    Then you haven't participated in many forums.

    This is the absolute nicest one I've ever seen.

    I don't understand the "but" because you merely restated my thesis.

    I agree. We've become so bent on not hurting anyone's feelings that we've gone too much the other way. Tough love is what some need...I've needed it at times and I've dished it out as well. That's life.
