Motivation

I thought these forums were here to help motivate everyone. If you ask a question about health, diet or personal issues, I thought everyone was to give their outlook on the issue but not put down others who are trying to be supportive and help out another MFP member with their problem.
Today I have read three different threads and they all have conflict with in them. I know the poster didn't intend for that but it's happening. One was just telling people how she likes a certain product and it turns into an argument between two people on the health risks of this product. If I was the poster, I would have regretted posting it at all. Why can't we be supportive? Say things like, "That's great you like that product but I have heard this about it" NOT "You should really do more research on that subject". Really, do you need to be that condescending? We are all on the same path, trying to get to our goal weights, why can't we just work together and stop bickering about stupid issues.
