Support or Attack???

allaboutaleah

Have u posted sumthn on the msg board, and felt more attacked then supported when ppl respond to your question, comment, or concern. Sum ppl need to reevaluate their ways of "supporting" MFP member. *just sayin*

Nope, can't say that I have.

sorry cannot answer as i cannot read what you wrote.

Sometimes, folks interpret different opinions as "attacks", when they are just different opinions.

Also, some folks take criticism of an idea, and interpret it as criticism of them as a person.

Life is easier when one can distinguish between these things.

That's my opinion.

No, never. But I'm betting you'll manage to get attacked posting something like this.

Nope, but if I had I would turn it around on them. I'm an *kitten* like that.

I've seen it on here, it's just the nature of some people, hopefully you have found good support mixed in with the dummies. Just learn to ignore the mean hearted people if you can.

Many times. On some topics such as healthy eating I've come to expect it.

haha, that made me laugh. I approach it a little differently, I'm pretty sure most people are much dumber than me so their opinion doesn't count for much....wrong I know, but it works for me.

If you are referring to the thread you just posted, you were not attacked. I'm sorry you felt that way, but others had good intentions by telling you that carbs are not evil.

I'm sure if you had said up front that you had PCOS, people would have had more information about you to answer the question in the way you wanted.

i can't say that i have...but i tend to stay out of someone's post if it offends me and just leave it be

Never attacked for asking a question but for giving information I thought was correct, there are ways of politely correcting someone, even if I'm behind a computer and you are too (in general) I'm still human and have feelings.

Contrarian

Those are not the only two options available.
