    Welcome to the internet. Everyone has an opinion and they must share it with the world.

    There is no such thing as a dumb question.........

    Yes there is. I had a pet rabbit when I was young and a girl I knew (about 14-15 years old) was stroking it and asked, "Is this real rabbit fur?"

    Exactly!

    It's hard enough to stay positive :) They are probably just looking for an outlet - displaced anger about their weight...some psychological defense mechanism.

    Personally, I like being "snobbish" - the clothes are prettier :ohwell:

    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:


    THIS ^^^^^^^

    Ditto.

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

    Agreed!

    Much of the hostility comes from people asking the same questions over and over and over (despite their being newbie links that answer these questions) or they ask the question but with their own opinion of what the answer should be (ie. asking why to eat exercise calories back when they are already set in stone that they don't need to eat them back).

    Also, being up on a soapbox or acting like a health freak will annoy the masses. For example, posting an article on why pop is bad for you. Ok, this is not breaking news, we all know its bad for us, we don't need it to be shoved in our faces by people that feel they are now superior to others because they have seen the light. I gave up pop for lent, I feel amazing without it.....but I do still love it and will never try to get a bunch of strangers on the internet to give it up.
  • lol at this topic. People are so defensive, love it. As an opinionated and feisty young lady I feel it's my duty to throw in my two pennies.

    Everyones a snob, even if they don't act it to everyone else. Everyone thinks they're better than someone at something or that they deserve more of something than someone else. Some people bottle up these opinions and pretend everyone is equal and lovely and that they should all hug puppies and be happy. People with issues use these inevitable opinions as a sort of defence against what they perceive as negativity. Everyone lucky enough to have access to the internet has at least one society invoked personal issue and there is only so much puppy hugging you can do before it becomes tedious... eventually..... uja wudja cute widdle ickly puppy cutey ujy wudge!!

    To sum up, everyone sucks, and everyone is lovely, no one is sucky or lovely all of the time. Tis why we're so much more interesting to study than most animals. I'm done now, rant over, if you made it this far, well done and thanks for listening. ^^

    p.s I didn't read all the posts, just a couple of pages, I saw something shiny and got distracted. So I realise there are a lot of different perspectives and opinions flying around in this topic that my little rant probably didn't take in to account. But that's all it is, a little rant, all mine, not meant to change the universe in any way. x

    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!

    i would quit, it seems this does not fit into your personality, maybe there is something else out there that fits you better. maybe there is a sight called "me,me,me"

    LOL thats what I call any site that I visit, what else matters?

    I agree with this. It is frustrating to see the same questions over and over in the boards!

    Here are some examples of topics I see nearly every day

    - I am netting under 1200 calories a day, is this okay?
    - Should I eat my exercise calories
    - Can I have a cheat meal/day
    - It's been a week and I haven't lost a pound! What am I doing wrong
    - Can I eat carbs at night/what time should I stop eating
    - Has anyone tried <insert fad diet/cleanse or detox diet here>?
    - is <insert food such as eggs/cheese/dairy> okay to eat?

    Is there anyone in this thread that has never been fat, lazy, hopeless, desprately in need of help from others who have been in that same situation where at that moment u feel the last thing you need is closed doors in a site where people who feel that way will find help from others who...getting redundant??? Let he/she cast the first stone. Yeah went there! The girl just asked an honest question. Maybe we should let our wisdom of weightloss flow and not our rebellious ugly thoughts are often best kept to ourselves or taken to God in prayer. Went there too.

    Actually, the original post didn't ask a question at all. And the OP didn't seem hopeless or desperately in need of help. She just said she saw some cool stuff then made a generalization about people being stuck up without giving any examples of what she was talking about. Anyone who has been on the internet for more than a day should know that any public FREE site is going to have all kinds of people on it.

    And 10 people can have 10 different perceptions of the same thing. I have encountered dozens of extremely knowledgeable people on this site who are kind enough to share what they know with me FOR FREE & regardless of how fat, lazy, hopeless or desperate I have ever been, I still have at least half a brain & I can tell who knows what they're talking about. I've found that a lot of people (mostly newer people) will ask questions about something weight-loss related & when people try to help, they just counter with all the excuses that kept them fat in the first place.

    TOPIC: snobbish on MFP?
    That is a question. Right? But regardless what you say is a true Generalization and does not speak for each individual. There is no way for you to know how this girl is feeling by her question or responses. Just like it is impossible for me to know how what ur going through (though by this post I would assume that you have some major I want to be type A issues and making others feel small makes me feel big). I learned this in Kindergarten. I was posing a question about what others including you may have felt before and the not so general person that may really need help at the time. (Weather they are ready to accept it at that time or not) Seeds need water and don't grow over night!! As we are all in this with a common purpose let us use our whole mind (brain) and heart. I know that this can be difficult for some to comprehend espcially when your goal is halfbrained. GB

    This is too hilarious not to respond to. Using a question mark doesn't make it a question, but it would be a waste of time to explain that since you are clearly not an English teacher. I also find it humorous that you are so judgmental of me & many others who have commented here, condemning us for have a freaking sense of humor.

    Stop taking the internet so seriously. Geesh.

    Seriously, your comment wasn't funny at all. Obviously her question was "Is it just me or have others come across some folks that seem snobbish"? Doesn't take an English teacher to figure that out. You argue for its own sake and you may find that funny but I assure you that its not in anyway grammatically, contextually, or philisophically humorous. I know jokes and I know bullies, I"m just giving you a reply to your irresponsible disrespectful posts and you countered with another one a little bit more nasty than the first. I think that says more about you than about me. Don't you. Hope I spelled that right. No matter how I spell it you probably won't understand it so I just let you be honey. GB

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

    and this seems an unproblematic statement to you? Basically "i think this. therefore i'm right. so suck it." ?

    only by the light of a full moon, while wearing red sparkly shoes.

    Photos obligatory.

    i'm not clear. how was the post irresponsible?
    And don't you think it a tad hyperbolic to describe a post querying grammar as 'bullying'?
