Does anyone else feel sorry for some of the ppl on here?

If they're nasty just block them. No reason to be like that at all. Life's far too short

I've noticed some rudeness too. Since January/February is usually when people enact their resolutions, March/April is probably when they fall off the wagon. Maybe they're being pissy because they're unhappy with themselves, so they take it out on others? Just a though....*pensive*

I've definitely noticed it a lot lately on the boards, and it hasn't been the subtle kind. I think it flows freely for some people because of being behind the keyboard and computer screen, and they wouldn't be so bold to do it in person.

I don't see the need for it, and can't understand what a person gets out of being so ugly.

Another thing I have noticed is others pointing out how rude a comment was towards another person and sticking up for that person that may have been hurt. Those are the kinds of people we all need as friends

Right! I think they should take a step back and look at their ownselves! And quit tearing everyone else apart

I think people, in general, are good. Insecurities reveal themselves in so many ways....some need constant validation, some need to be right ALL the time....and the forums, sadly, is an open source for many who don't have a voice outside of this website. It doesn't justify the meanness, or the crass, or the downright rude actions of some-- but I think stepping back and taking a look at the human motivations, is key in understanding it.

That being said, I agree with many posters on this thread. DON'T FEED IT. Don't add to the negativity...just move on and keep spreading the love- because that is my absolute favorite thing about this site

Nicely said. Just ignore the person and move on. We're here to support each other.

People on MFP are rather tame compared to some other websites I have been on.
