STOP ATTACKING OP's!!! NOW!

Derp_Diggler

Is it just me or are the people who refer to others on MFP as being "mean" or "rude" completely incapable of recognizing subtext or reading between the lines.

I'm beginning to think it is not only non-coincidental but actually causal.

This sort of astute insight will get you branded a big meanie around here real quick mister. Watch it.

I am so sick of all this crap about bullying. If you are getting BULLIED for your posts and it bothers you then stop posting. We are supposed to be adults on here. Stop whining and start exercising.

Never.

I love these threads!

Whilst the original post definitely has a point, that point will be lost amongst a sea of derisory pathetic come backs designed to do the exact thing the OP spoke up against.

Excellent way to collect a load of useless trolls together to fill up your ignore list though. So it certainly served a positive purpose, thanks OP.

I thought you resigned your job of 'Pointing out the bleeding obvious' ... :flowerforyou:

(was that mean? Did I just 'throw shade'... if I did HUZZAH!)

Oooh oooh oooh, can I try! Ever notice how it's almost always the people who are new to the forums who think all the veteran members are being mean? Could it be something like being a new kid in school and not understanding the culture yet? And it's not that people are really being mean to you, it's just that they don't know you and you don't know them and so it's really really easy to misunderstand intentions and feel left out when you don't get the joke.....

I think you're just throwing lampshades

So, really annoyed that as I was reading the beautiful people thread, it disappears as I am clicking to go from one page to the next. Sometimes the mods drive me batty.

I think we are all adults, why can't we read it if we want to?

Hating requires an underlying feeling of jealousy. I'm not really seeing or reading anything to be jealous of.

So...

I want to take this as a perfect example of someone disagreeing with me but doing so in a RESPECTFUL manner. He disagrees but he doesn't have to belittle me, the OP in the process. Kudos. SOMEONE is an adult here

Well Wheird is just Wheird that way...

I'm starting to get angry with the level of disrespect floating around on these message boards. I see posts and people go about making snide and rude remarks about the original poster and I thinks its very immature. There is always a way to have an opinion and not be rude or "throw shade" on the person who started the thread. Internet bullying is real, and all those insecure people who want to attack OP's need to seriously be checked on their dirty behavior. Please be respectful to everyone, even if you disagree with them. Period. If you can't do that then you need help.

A lot of people confuse disrespect for somebody pointing out their ignorance, or merely being wrong.

An opinion can never be "wrong" or "right" neither "true" or "false".... only a statement has truth value. So yes if someone makes a statement about something, it's fine to say they are wrong or right. But even then there is no justification for rudeness. Nope none none none.

Hi im still new to this so I wont comment but I did read a post inhere .....what is trolling?

This thread was posted by a known bb.com troll. Most users feel no need to be delicate with someone who is clearly just seeking attention which is what trolling is usually about. Sometimes they're just being funny, sometimes they're just stirring the pot for entertainment, and sometimes they're just trying to get people angry.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:OcUiXMARr6QJ:www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1314298-estimate-what-of-girls-who-lift-can-do-wide-pullups?page=3&show=search+&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Unfortunately the actual thread got pulled because the troll went way over the top searching out peoples dating site accounts to attack them, but it was entertaining while it lasted. Trolls like this usually get banned pretty quickly.

Well, before this thread gets closed by MFP moderators for baiting the community I just wanted to express something genuine to the OP.

Relax. The post I think you are refering to, the one about stereotyping beauty, was posted by a troll. It was a post designed, again, to bait the community by saying something so ridiculous as "woh is me, I am so beutiful" and then as soon as responses were recieved ALL-CAPS yelling about how harrassed "she" felt. You are defending what is most likely a teenage boy rolling off his chair laughing right now.

So here is what is going to most likely happen next. This post will last for a bit longer until it to is spotted by the MFP moderators and shut down for again baiting the community. So if you have something important to say better say it quick.

To everyone else I apoologize, I know I said I would stop pointing out the obvious subtexts and ironies of this but I'm starting to feel genuinely bad for the OP's ignorance here.

Well, that's another one added. Thanks for such a giant douche and proving my point. Your predictable childishness is appreciated.

Whatever you do.... don't:

Mention Dr. Oz..
State an opinion as FACT.
Sing the praises of pasta.
Trash the use of pasta in your diet.
Look for a date on MFP.
Ask if 800 daily calories is too little.

I could go on.

The truth is, being respectful in your responses goes a long way, especially when you.. disagree.

Actually an opinion is a statement, but you're right in that it won't have a truth value.
