comments on people on tjis site

Does anyone else find the 'comment on the person above you' posts rather inappropriate and potentially hurtful/upsetting/ more seriously damaging for individuals on a weight loss and fitness website. Some posts on the site show clear evidence of people with real food/body issues etc and I am genuinely concerned about the effect on them ...maybe I just don't get it and I know people don't have to join in, but I do genuinely find it worrying and feel a bit uneasy.

most of the people who comment on those threads are all lighthearted and friendly people who know that its all a bit of fun anyways.

i can honestly say i havent had a horrible post about me, or posted one about anyone. in all the posts i think i have seen one or two "harsh" ratings/comments.

its all a bit of fun and most people accept this and join in in the spirit of the casual fun/flirting of them
