snobbish on MFP?

Brightstar4031

I've been on here regularly now for a week and have read some cool stuff. Also I've noticed that some people seem so stuck up!

In any group of this size there will be a predicable number of many personality types, both the ones you like and the ones you don't. It's just statistics.

Brightstar4031

Yes, that I get. However seems like there are a lot more than usual, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it.

Seems a strange "intro" for your third post to be insulting people.

Basically, what I've found is dont have an opinion on anything in the forums or you will get torn to shreds.

Sucks but I've seen it happen to heaps of people, myself included.

Just weed out the nice ones and stick with them :flowerforyou:

My guess is that most people on here are here because they are unhappy with their bodies/lives. That would probably cause them to act a certain way. Plus, there are quite a lot of opinionated people. This probably makes up for the other snobs :laugh:

You learn to take the bad with the good. Many people on here are incredibly nice, helpful and encouraging.

Thanks, I sure hope so because this is an awesome tool.

I actually found this site to be the most supportive out of the 4 sites I've tried since January, and this is the one I keep coming back to.. I'm sorry you had a negative experience, but there are a lot of really supportive nice people here!!

Brightstar4031

It's an observation. If your insulted then that's on you.

Some people are, some arent. The people on my friends list are all awesome and super helpful and I think they're great

Seems a bit snobbish to me. :drinker:

I've noticed it too and have been really picky about who I've added as friends since you just don't want to be at the center of all that drama when you're already so focused on your personal goals and lifestyle changes.

I am new to this site! I feel like I'm addicted already! I try to also weed out the people who don't see as supportive! Best of luck in your journey! Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other!

Well, I can't speak for others, but I know I'm not a snob. I've never thought I was better than anybody. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like.

Take the know-it-alls with a grain of salt. If they really did know it all, they wouldn't have had a weight problem to begin with. I prefer the people who have worked hard, learned lots along the way, and share their opinions without being judgmental. The forums are crawling with a lot of mean spirited people, but that's on ANY site. There are SO many supportive people around here. If you're positive, you'll find them.

Brightstar4031

yeah..thanks for al the positive feedback. I really love this site a lot

Its a HUGE site, with over 18 MILLION users there is (unfortunately for me as a moderator) always going to be some extreme clashes of personality.

Lets keep this thread friendly eh...pretty please

I'm a buttercream snob.

I'm very picky about buttercream.

I don't think people are snobs...

I think some people ask questions, get annoyed that they don't receive the answers they want to hear, and thus call every one of those other people snobs.

Nearly every post you made in this thread was snobby or snarky! Ha.

CoryIda

I'm not a snob, I just know more than anyone else does.
Duh.

shellebelle87

I call it as some people consider themselves the best around, and if you dont do what they believe then they will tear you apart in the threads.

How dare we have our own opinions.

Like I said, you will find the nice ones and dont bother with the rest

This is possibly my favorite forum post of all time, lol.

There is definitely a culture of craziness here sometimes but overall the site/tool is great and so are most of the people.

Rsrsrsrsrs I think people are so snobbish on here because they're hungry rrsrsrs

I'm a grammar snob though. Ohmygod I hate it when people misspell things. English isn't my first language and I can spell better than quite a few people on here....
