    Call me slow-- I'm not gettin' the bickering and arguing thing-- she posted a thought obviously inviting feedback which she got-- :noway:

    There's no bickering--


    I agree again wit cha Marla girl...

    Seems if some of us voice our opionion we are considered bickering...ah..... I simply am sharing how I felt about the matter, that's not bickering.... that's freedom of expression... I wasn't attacking I was simply trying to fully grasp what the suggestion was.....

    so if you're all speaking of ME...:laugh: no bickering, ohhhhhhhhhhh no I best clean out my PM folder now...I can see the smoke from here on the hate mail coming:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Guys, I must say I'm rather beginning to enjoy my unsolicated hate mail..... sometimes ya just gotta LAUGH at all the energy someone puts into being angry......... I now throw my energy into mortal combat class!!!:smooched: :laugh:

    I see where you're coming from...I've been experiencing burn out lately big time...and have considered deactivating...but I know I'd be lost without my food and exercise journal...I just don't frequent the boards as much...I watch them and respond when I feel compelled to, but I know i'm not posting nearly as often as I used to...so I say when something comes up that you are struggling with, post away girlfriend! I'll read it and reply if I have some insight :flowerforyou:

    I forbid you to leave... I would hate to have to stalk you! :tongue:

    Frankly, I'm getting a little burned out on all this bickering and arguing. Just because you have an opinion does not make it right.

    Oh Soup...you make an excellent point and the great part is? This should apply to everyone....not merely a certain select group....... :wink: :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    Just a thought....


    Why do people start threads like this and never return to join the discussion caused by the hand-gernade they launched?


    I see that more on this forum than anywhere else.

    I am still thinking a "Best Of MFP Thread" Where it's entire purpose is to provide factual information and suggestions that have worked for others.

    ahha I knew it.... my mail has begun to arrive...

    ok, so now there's apparently been polls that have been onging discussing me being a trouble maker here on MFP... that I attack everyone that comes up with a new idea? hm........... wow, interesting... :laugh: :laugh:

    but of course the sources have decided to remain anonomous and send in recruits to share the news with me.... this I find even funnier

    thanks folks for the 11 messages in less than 30 minutes I've been on here:laugh:

    Funny isn't it...I state how I feel, a group of you call me an attacker.... one from the 'group' speaks and states exactly what I do....they are considered free to express themselves .....

    Oh Lordy...ya just gotta laugh at this silliness...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Folks, if ya don't care for thoughts of other members and you feel peoples opionions are attacks, why post for feedback?

    yup, laughin hard here thinking lil ole me is being seen as an oger here....:bigsmile: aahhhh ohh the power I apprently have....:drinker: :flowerforyou: NOT:noway: :tongue:

    apparently!:laugh: I believe it was a silent poll .........ohhhhhhhhh what a trouble maker I am...anyone that knows me knows that far from anything near true.

    Another PM I just read shares members are now leaving in droves because of my complaining and mean ways.......
    ok.....:laugh:

    course I can't name as it's not in the rule book, nor is it needed:bigsmile:

    But thank you all for sharing some laughter with me this morning, I realize the majority were meant as attacks but I chose to view them with humor........

    ohhhhhhhh so funny:bigsmile: ........ me an attacker:laugh: ......

    Thanks for the mail box giggles:flowerforyou:

    I don't usually post to this kind of stuff, but it's really disheartening to see that something Mike created to encourage us all, is starting to become rather discouraging!! All this **** is not gonna help anybody reach their goals! Simple as that!

    I agree PeeJ....this is supposed to be a positive, supportive, ADULT forum...What are we in Junior High again? If their are PMs, they are just that...Personal. The community doesn't care to hear about the inboxes. Some things don't need to be shared with the community. This is for support and it needs to stay a positive atmosphere. We are all here to reach a common goal. If we can't say something nice, don't say it at all. If you can't give positive, supportive feedback, there are plenty of other posts on the board. Everyone have a lovely day :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Ok, without reading all the rest of the responses (since I sense there is some drama), I will just say...


    Renee, I think that is a great idea. I understand where you are coming from completely. It's not about excluding others but more about giving those who have been around here awhile a place to catch up and talk about different things. The fact is that those who have been doing this awhile WILL have different things to discuss then those who are new. Yes we can all interact on other threads as well but being at a different place on this journey does give us different things to discuss.

    Excellent idea girl! I hope Mike takes it to heart! :happy:

    Again, though-- is this something that can't be done in the eight other or so topic forums that Mike already began for us? I mean, he just started another chit-chat, blah, blah, blah place. From what I see on the threads that I pop in on, the catching up and talking hasn't been hindered. There is an obvious group of people who know each other and have been joking back and forth and have a great time. "Newbies" see it and can choose either to jump in and try to swim with you all, or not. And "veterans" decide whether or not to "let them in on the joke" and welcome them into the fray.
    How is that hindered by not having another specially designated place? Again, I think it will lend even more to the "us and them" feeling that seems to be creeping in here.

    You must be joking! I think you are one of the least offensive people on here! Perhaps that is because we think alike and I offend others myself??? Who knows. Oh well. I love ya FitnessChick!:heart:

    I don't see why there needs to be a separate forum either. If the thread title says, "Newbie Question" and you don't feel like dealing with it, then don't read it or reply to it. If the thread says, "Plateau", you'll know if you are there with them yourself. Why in the world do we need a whole different area for those who have been here for certain frames?

    I have been losing weight using the same methods for over a year and a half.
    I have been on MFP since the end of June.
    Am I a "veteran" or a "newbie"? Why does it matter?
    If memory serves, SongBirdSweet is a "newbie" but has nicely filled the vacancy left by Banks. Would you have her not posting in the "vets" area because she is "new"?
    I'm sure I'm just not understanding the feelings behind the need for the creation of a new area.
