I enjoy MFP. I enjoy the accountability. I enjoy learning new aspects of nutrition/fitness. I enjoy the "just for fun" message boards. Sometimes when I look at a post and it's something that I can't offer any value to, then I just kindly go back to the main screen. There is no real reason to be hateful, right? So, when you're feeling negative and you can't appreciate a topic someone has posted - just don't bother responding. Kindly move on your way.

    I agree... have dropped a couple of friends for similar reasons. This should be a site for support!

    If only everyone saw it that way but too many are of the mindset that if they don`t like something it must be made to go away.

    I completely disagree, it is a requirement of this website to post on every topic. Even if you know nothing about it , otherwise how are you gonna look all smart and all?

    I'm not even sure if you were serious or not but I took it as sarcasm and in that manner it was funny . . .

    Does disagreeing with someone = I'm being negative?

    Two negatives make a positive.

    Besides this is the interweb...it thrives off of bickering and pron.

    Yes - I don't post if I know nothing of the subject matter, if I do I will post whether I am in agreement/disagreement, but what i am guilty of is the intermittent inappropriate joke. Think of "The Office" and Micheal's "That's what she said.." If someone says something that can be misconstrued in a hilarious way, I usually take the bait. It's never to hurt, just to lighten the mood.

    Nope - you can disagree and be respectful. But let's face it - there are some on here that are anything but respectful and downright just rude.

    Exactly. I am not going to be quiet because you can't handle dissent.

    Deal with it.

    You can disagree without bashing. We all know it can get pretty bad sometimes.

    My original post said nothing about disagreeing. It's about being a jerk. There is a difference.

    And there are just as many that whine about people being rude when all the are doing is stateing their opinions.The words Negitive an rude get flung around this site like monkey poop.
    I will continue to act the way I always have around here and im sure everyone else will too
