Why so much hate?

I posted something on my profile telling my friends that I was going to create a thread against women posting cleavage pictures. It was done as a spoof because of the uproar the bikini thread caused. I figured there would be some debate. Some rebellious cleavage pics. Some jokes. But WOW, talk about the haters!

I had several people suggest I was trying to portray the LL Cool J picture as being me, despite a disclaimer on my profile stating it is not. Based on the posts that I was able to read (apparently many were deleted), the people that bothered to check my profile only did so with the intention to find material for criticism. An activity that happens on this site every single day. Disagree with someone, check their profile to find something to use against them.

One person even said to check out my Caucasian pictures before I delete them. Really? Clearly this individual missed my disclaimer about the LL Cool J picture. This point led me to a conclusion. The only reason I made my profile visible to all MFP members was so people would stop sending me FRs because of the picture. I still get those such requests almost daily. If no one bothers to read the profile anyway, why bother making my profile accessible to non-friends?

Clearly it is just used for haters looking for ammunition anyway.

    Some people need to be referred to a good proctologist to first remove the stick and secondly locate his/her head.

    I think there is a serious sense of humour failure from lots of people on this site. some take everything literally.

    It's okay for you to joke as long as you are "one of them". If you aren't, then "they" want to castigate you. Add in the fact that there are a lot of people here with absolutely no sense of humor and you get what happened to you. Sorry. I saw your thread for what it was, a joke and the hope that you might see some cleavage pictures.

    sadly, they had no idea you were joking, and felt the need to be asshats.

    I think women SHOULD stop posting cleavage pics. They should post completely nude pics instead..... JUST KIDDING FOLKS! And yeah, there are some haters in any forum no matter what the forum focus. Ignore them. They'll never go away but you can always ignore them......

    hard to tell a joke from typeface. but even if they couldn't tell it was a joke or not, asshattery is never called for.

    So people are too literal. Add that to a cirtical/angry type writing anonymously on the internet and you can get just plain mean. Maybe it makes them feel better as a person?:flowerforyou:

    Too many irritable people with no sense of humour because of low blood sugar levels LOL

    It can't be that much longer now til the resolutioners all finish dropping off and this place can go back to normal.

    I believe in the statement "everyone is entitled to an opinion" regardless if it is not one I share. There were several people that didn't get it and actually stated their opinion on the cleavage topic. I certainly don't have an issue with that. What I think is sad is those that access people's profile for the sole purpose to find material to attack.
