    I want to suggest that if people want to call people out, do it on the spot and then leave it be, don't drag their names into discussions they have nothing to do with later. One of the people discussed in this thread no longer has the ability to defend himself.

    no one cares about thier life. if all a person is doing is complaining, whining and flouncing on the site then they're not making a difference ON THE SITE. unless the topic is "Our Own Lives Have Changed" and i missed it.

    either be the force for good that you want everyone else to be or be quiet about it.

    No one knows what changes a person is making in his or her life outside the forum. You should not be the judge of what is making a difference here in his or her life. And, since you seem to enjoy derailing threads and being derisive (Chick-fil-A thread) then maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge other people's actions.

    i'm sorry, which action have i judged?

    meanwhile, back at the ranch, i'm enjoying the judging you're doing. is your mention of chick fil a thread supposed to make me feel.........anything?

    and since no one knows what changes a person is making in his or her life outside of the forum......perhaps you should drink some of your own kool aid and stop judging people by what you see of them in the forums?

    i certainly hope you didn't take any of that as derision.

    Your personal agendas and desire to troll make no nevermind to me.

    Sorry. As much as you'd like to make it so, this thread isn't about you. Feel free to keep playing the victim, though. :wink:

    Back when I was young, MFP sent people to your house to do your grocery shopping, cut up your food, and give you massages. Boy, those were the good old days.


    Every time and every place has people complaining about how things used to be better.


    Well, honestly, like much of life, it's mostly what you make it.

    You can complain, whine, and flounce. Or you can get busy and make a difference in your life and others.

    Dear Sad Grandpa,

    It just bad manners.
    If you can't be nice or helpful, don't write anything.

    I agree. When people want encouragement or advice they don't want to be bashed or ridiculed. This would be more effective overall if it was a safe place where people can reach out, but there are a lot of people in the world who enjoy being hurtful and call it being honest.

    OP, I'm with you on this.

    Can someone make me an egg? I'm hungry and I heard this place was all helpful and whatnot.

    Rather than being the change you wish to see in others...

    ...you've become the very thing that you were complaining about in others.



    I suspect you won't see it that way, because in your mind, your behavior is justified...

    ...however, I trust that others see at least what appears to me to be rather blatant hypocrisy.



    Fascinating, really.

    Nice try. But if you look above you'll see where you called me out personally and directly. Three times, in fact. I didn't come in here and personally attack you but it's open season on me.....and if I point that out, I'm playing the victim card. Fair enough. I'm done posting here. You don't have to call me any more names. You win

    If it's not about him why are you spending so spending so much time addressing him and insisting things aren't about him or his supposed desire to troll.

    You are not the only one who sees it. That brand of hypocrisy is rampant in these threads.

    I have become more of a lurker on the main MFP forums in the last year or so because of the climate here. I have found the greatest motivation and support on this site to come from friends or groups. I have never understood the hostility and meanness, especially on something that is as difficult as weight loss. If it was so easy, none of us would even be on MFP. If life never got in the way, ex. law school, then weight loss and fitness would not be the billion dollar industry it is. It is hard to lose weight. It is hard to stay committed. It is hard to workout everyday when you have other obligations. It is hard to change unhealthy habits you have had your entire life. This is why support and motivation is important, because your post could be the difference between someone making a change in their life for the better or continuing on a bad path.

    Of course it would be great if everyone had a thick skin and if tough love worked like a a magic pill, but that is not the reality. These topics are common and they tend to bring out many of the posters who have made a habit of making others uncomfortable with their tough love.. But i say to those members, have you ever thought that maybe that person isn't ready for your help or missed the message based on your delivery. Attacking them, insulting them or making fun of them doesn't help anyone. So if help is what you truly want to offer then recognize that some posters will be sensitive, insecure, uniformed or just not interested and tough love or brutal honesty may not be the best course of action for everyone.

    He went into the CFA thread with an agenda and derailed it the third post in. After that, the thread became all about his topic and not about the opening post. He was spoiling for a fight when he came here and, apparently, succeeded in becoming the victim. Oh well. Funny you'll let him get away with it and not people like the one who started the law school thread.
