Message boards are battlegrounds, lately.

I promise to do my part to be as polite to each of as you I would if we were having a discussion face to face.

It's OK if we disagree with each other! But we can still be kind :smile:

    Agree all the way. When I joined in 2010, I did not see much of the heated threads, but now, it's everyday.

    I haven't seen any heated threads (yet), but I agree... just because you're behind a computer doesn't mean you can forget manners and civility.

    LMAO... I just wrote that on another board. :laugh:
    I always reply as I would in "real life" with respect. I kinda feel like if you can't respond nicely... Don't respond :heart:

    I honestly thought to myself when I logged in, "don't look at the message boards, they have so much negativity". I am so glad someone decided to speak up and suggest we all get along. So many times I see people who comment on stuff they shouldn't leave a comment for. If you don't have anything nice to say then shut your underfed pie holes!!!! lol

    This is very true. Even more intriguing is that it isn't just on MFP Forums, but on many, many other internet forums, covering all range of subjects, not just weightloss ones.

    I recently came away from one particular internet forum, it was like being in a lion's den, which was okay for a few months, but then it began to have a peculiar effect on me which I did not like.

    I agree we are all here for the same reason -- to lose weight for are own reasons there is no need to be so negative--- to me the boards should be a place of ideas, encouragement & freindly discussions :) Have a great day everyone :smile : today and every day ,

    I agree, I find myself wanting to avoid message boards, which is SO sad because there's so much great help and support to be found.

    The negativity does have an icky effect on me, too. Negativity breeds negativity... so, I'm going to do my darndest to turn it around.

    I agree. If you wouldn't say it to someone who was standing in front of you, then don't post it. Its easy to hide behind a computer and feel superior, but its really easy to hide behind a computer and be nice!
