Rude MFP posters...

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.
I love you. This reference is fantastic.0 -

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!
do you own stock in Planet Fitness? i'm just wondering.

You know the problem is that you have some people that take themselves waaayyy too seriously and then you have another group of people that take themselves waaayyy too seriously, and in the end, you've got seriously waaayyy too many people in a public forum.
We all have different personalities and the reality of it is that we aren't always going to get along with everybody. Once you understand this, then very little can offend you really.
I wish you all a pleasant day! :flowerforyou:0 -
As a 55 year old, I have watched society go from one in which people debate the issues to one in which people attack the person rather than debate the issues. Whether this is from people lacking the knowledge needed to debate the issues or lacking the ability to put together their argument in a manner in which they can successful support their point, I don't know. I have noticed, though, that in 99% of the cases in which the person has to be rude, sarcastic, bullying, or abusive, the issues seems to stem from fear.
Fear is a funny thing.
Some feel that their opinion is the right opinion, but others are presenting other opinions that differ from they's, so they may fear that their opinion is now wrong. This is an ego problem. People like their ego stroked, not snipped. Many don't want to admit that they don't know it all. Some don't want to admit that there are other ways to do things. And still others don't want to face the fact that they may have held on to knowledge that was incorrect and will now have to bite the bullet (no calories there) and learn the right information.
In some cases, people don't want to accept that something is really the way it is, so they will fear the change and be rude to the person proposing the change. I find that many people, young and old, seem to live in an illusional word. When prevented with what is real, they have a problem accepting these things. They would rather not know what is true and will become nasty when someone does point it out to them.
Then we have people who take things personally. I once posted about what I was seeing in regards to students at the college where I teach and got jumped all over by one poster who literally attacked me, not my argument. Such attacks occur because the person is fears that you are pointing your finger at them, saying that they did this or that. Even though you are not, they still feel a need to attack you because they literally believe that they are being attacked by you.
When a person attacks me, I just laugh because I know it is because what I am saying is pretty much the truth and they can't pick it apart, so they need to attack someone. Most likely the person is living under the delusion that things are a certain way and I just burst their bubble. So they are fearful because of what is actually happening in the world.
Many people don't want to hear truth. When they are told truth, the fear kicks in. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Suffering is something people don't want to deal with. Many who are suffering will lash out at other people. They throw nasty, sarcastic and caustic remarks at people in order to relieve their own misery.
The best thing to do is ignore them. They are all over the place. People whose lives are so miserable that they can't help but make others miserable as well. Don't let them.
What is really sad is that these miserable people don't realize that they could just improve their lives if they would just change their attitude.
Just realize that they are everywhere. Not just online. They are like zombies, walking around and spreading their misery like it is the bubonic plague. Just put on a smile, don't say anything about their nasty behavior, and keep on trucking. Don't give them the power to ruin your life by making you as miserable as they are.
I just have to say that this is an AMAZING post! Really great thoughts and perspectives. Very well-said! :flowerforyou:0 -

Rudeness is necessary sometimes. I like this site but the saccarin sweet levels the posting hits often makes me feel like I need a shot of insulin.
How boring would everything be if everyone was just super nice to each other all the time?0 -

Not trying to be rude (maybe this disclaimer should automatically be copied and pasted in everyone's response on a forum) but if you didn't expect this to last long then what was your intent of the post? To stir up trouble? That could be considered rude by people that are just trying to focus on fitness and motivation.
Just sayin.:flowerforyou:0 -
Is this really necessary? :grumble:
I guess it depends on what you consider rude. I find that a lot of people consider it rude to disagree with them. Telling you, "You're wrong" isn't rude, though most people here seem to think it is.0 -

OMG you're reading way too much into what I just posted... I just did not expect MY ORIGINAL post to get over 6 pages of responses... no back story... just didn't expect this many people to have input.
