    I don't know if you guys noticed this, but I have noticed that men with pictures of themselves in front of the mirror with their gigantic bulging biceps are the meanest -- maybe we are dealing with 'roid rage here :) Yeah, I have noticed some rudeness from others as well: EMO types, probably those bitter of people's progress, those who can't share their negativity in anyone else's forums..... It's sad but true! We shall be positive and continue our MFP!

    People on Internet forums aren't real.

    See this is a problem. When the imaginary people I chat with here start telling me they aren't real my eyes go cross for a minute and my nose starts bleeding.

    Ha ha. But sometimes it seems as if there is a robot generating these threads (not THIS one, just threads in general) - sometimes I read something that is so bizarre, I think, "No one would really ask this, would they?"..........

    I'm a bit amused by the irony of one person generalizing groups of people as being rude.

    Isn't that a bit rude?

    At the end of the day, it's the internet. If you can't take what you need and leave what you don't, time to move on to a different forum.

    I have seen it too. Some people just seem to be determined to make anyone who ever posts a question feel stupid. I don't get it. I think groups are better. People are more motivated to be nice and support the group than a huge forum of people :)

    Definitely agree with this! I post a lot less now on the open forums. :flowerforyou:

    It's the goal for many... just to make others feel stupid.. pretty ridiculous :frown:

    Just think it deters people from ever posting on the message boards

    Not the worst thing in some cases.

    I'm rude. I'm female. My biceps are sadly flimsy. I've lost 53 lbs.

    Next logic?

    You know the really sad thing? People will flock to a thread like this, or a thread complaining about negativity (oh, the irony!) ... and it will get more attention than someone's genuine question or a success story thread.

    And crap... I'm part of the problem. :blushing:

    Hey, who's got the popcorn? Can we share? This has the potential to almost as fun as the Fluffy Poop thread! But it will almost assuredly have less staying power.

    *digs around looking for snacks* I don't have popcorn, I only have almonds and granola bars, sorry. But I can add more booze to your drink to compensate.

    Kind of confused about what this post is accomplishing... do you think the 'rude posters' are going to see it and stop being rude? Or do you think that you're going to rally a bunch of snarky people on the 'non-rude' side to start siding against the 'rude' people? Do you want to be smug about how not-rude you are by complaining about rude people and inciting more rudeness?

    A great way not to let the rude people win is to stay on-topic and ignore them. Starting another topic like this is passive aggressive at best and accomplishes nothing.

    I will add this...

    It doesn't matter where you go in life whether it be IRL or on the internet, you are going to come across people who legit are negative and just plain unhappy. Unfortunately, yes some people DO take it out on others but just walk away. Who cares! Complaining about it only fuels their fire.

    I am one snarky person. I sometimes forget sarcasm doesn't come through well on my posts. Anyone who really knows me knows that I am very genuine and offer support when needed, absolutely. We won't always understand eachothers sarcasm, jokes, whatever....but the last thing to help the situation is to post something about it pointing fingers.

    There is much more positive on this site than negative and I hope you are able to embrace it.

    Ok that's all I have for today of my unicorn glitter thoughts. :wink: :flowerforyou:

    at least in life you have that face to face advantage to speak directly to the rude person. On here I dont expect anything other then kindness, understanding, help and motivation, and seeing as how this is the 4th or 5th post I have seen on rudeness, it is apparent that it is a problem on here, as well as on every other forum out there, but does that make it right??? No, it does not. Being rude is not acceptable, should not be condoned or rationalized away.

    Are we not all here for the same common reason, to be fit, healthy and lose weight or maintain???

    As other have said you'll get rude people on every web forum.

    I think that the problem with MFP forum is that we all have different goals and reasons to be on this site. What we all have in common is that we are all on here because we want to make a change, weither it be losing weight, gaining weight, toning muscle, building muscle, etc.

    When someone has found a way that worked for them they assume that this is the correct way for everyone.
    This is when people clash.
