Why does everyone hate me? The forum Survival Guide.

QuietBloom

Your totally welcome guys... just getting tired of woe is me threads from the person with 5 posts. Get to know a place before you cry wolf.

That is all. =D

WOW

Sarcasm... or a victim of everything I just wrote? If the latter I have a solution for you. Step one, remove keyboard from computer and melt with fire. Step two, continue browsing the internet. Your problem is solved, your welcome.

Have a great day!

for me its neither. but you can always do the same when you see the woe is me posts too.
problem solved too.

wait , you are saying ignore posts that you do no like….

then…why..are..you..here…???????

She said she gets tired. I said she can ignore them.
Does that answer your question??????????

no, because you are doing what you are complaining about….irony is ironic….

if you say so.
I never said I didnt like or dislike the post. I said that if you get fed up you can ignore.

Ha! Didn't take long for butthurt to ensue! :drinker:

lol. why do you guys use that term all the time. Why do you think my bottom is hurting. Is it because I had a different opinion. Lets just agree with what you are saying all the time, is that what stops the name calling?

Name calling? Where? No one called you any names.

Now stop crying and start learning and if you feel the need to sniffle? Go spend an hour reading the comments on Youtube, because you've yet to experience "mean".

Good Luck!

I really like this line : )

Yup... I like this line too... and could add Babycenter and sodahead into it too.

And craigslist forums... at least in NYC. Those are completely anon. :laugh:

Maybe the general forums should come with this statement before a newbie posts their first thread.

If they continue, they'll probably be up for what follows.lol

I think you should go a step further, and get technical support to ban all newbies from posting.

You really should stop. You are being ridiculous. That is not what anyone is saying.

if you say so.

my suggestion, follow your own advice...but feel free to keep posting as this is amusing me on a slow work day.

lol same here actually. off soon though.
is it easier if i just said lovely post, i really really loved it. i agree with everything written in it 100%. would that be better. because no one is a special snowflake and we must all agree with one another. would that exempt me from sore bottom?

mycupyourcake

I no longer come to the community forums for helpful hints on weight loss. Rather I come for my daily dose of humor. Those gifs are always hilarious.

Carry on.

butthurt? or is that not an insult. sorry i dont understand all the slang on here.

English

butthurt (uncountable)
(slang) Annoyance because of a perceived insult.
(slang) Upset because of a perceived injustice.
He's just full of butthurt because I insulted him.

.....You can tell instantly the ones to be ignored and those are they ones that start to get rude after people tell them what they are doing is silly......

Hmmm....... :huh:

I think you should go a step further, and get technical support to ban all newbies from posting.

In answer to your questions and or comments:

1. Butthurt : informal adjective describing anger or prejudice in response to opinion or statements.. aka. over reacting. It is NOT "name calling" nor does it refer to "disagreeing". To name call requires you are given a derogatory title, (to play the devil's advocate I'll present to you the widely used term.."special snowflake". Butthurt is a state of being like angry or upset, which you may just be based on your responses. But I will not assume.

2. The guide I provided is not only helpful (I've had several new folks privately message me who both enjoyed the humor and felt far more confident to post now) but if you would take a moment to read it without this pent up bias you seem to harbor? You'd find that I'm really out there to help people AVOID exactly what you are digging yourself into right now. Negativity. A few guidelines in a foreign ecosystem will help people understand an intimidating environment and hopefully help them avoid a crushing Topic situation.

I'm sorry I didn't deliver it with flowers and a get well card, but like many people on here I don't feel compelled to be warm and fuzzy with a group of people I don't know, and it's in my nature to be bluntly honest or deliver messages with humor. And truth is no one here is going to change how they reside on the threads so as a preventative measure I don't think there is anything wrong with giving new blood a road map to avoid the pot holes. Stop treating this as an attack on newbies, and you might see how it will help them instead.

Good post, though I'd disagree on a few points (but not worth bringing up in detail).

you do not need to defend yourself its the internet you can write it how you want.. The post was actually fine, I am not keen on the delivery but the post is not aimed at me anyway. i actually was responding to the bit you said after someone commented WOW. I simply said if you get tired dont respond.

speaking of buthurt..where is ole lindz at for this one??????????????????

Probably dreaming up her newest degree, so that she can argue falseties in some thread.

I am just here to see how many times the word "butthurt" is used...

Again, to compare the nice boards with the rest of the net, I've been on boards where they actually tell newbies they shouldn't be posting until they've lurked for awhile. And most will either outright ignore a newbie, or shred them to pieces.
I have never seen that happen here, in fact, MFP is very pro new posters. They even allow for the same topic to be posted again whereas most boards discourage posting the same type of posts over and over.

(Not that I think its a bad idea to get a feel for a board before posting)

It might read that they have only been on since Feb 2014 but that doesn't mean they know nothing regarding calorie counting/fitness or nutrition

Do you feel like being hard to amuse is a positive attribute? Because personally I find that being able to find humor and laughter in most things is a great trait to posses.

So yes, you're right, it's not hard for me to get a chuckle. I hope to never be at a point where amusement is hard to find.
