Question about ranters...

d0gma

I've been using MFP since January but didn't start looking at the boards until last month. Does it seem like there are some people who are on the boards just to complain? I've seen one person start two topics in the past two weeks, one had a condescending title that was more or less putting down anyone who wasn't losing weight the way the OP was losing, the second one was about pics that someone posted. Really? I thought we were here to get healthy and lose weight and help others. In other words, to be the opposite of trolls.

Some people quite honestly just don't have anything better to do with your time. If it bothers you, just ignore it. Focus on getting as much as you can out of this

The internet is just the same people walking around you everyday, but now they're online. You know how you run into jerks and rude people in real life? Nothing about signing up for a website weeds them out and automatically makes everyone a wonderful human being.

See? I'm here.

Listen Maab I know you're all just voices in my head. But telling that to the new ones just freaks them out, it's very annoying for me. I let them reach this level of understanding in their own time.

Overall I think this is one of the best behaved forums I've ever had the pleasure of spending time on. I also give leeway for crankiness, many of us are on a restricted calorie diet here!

Forgive and overlook most things, and you will have energy to deal with the things that can't be forgiven or overlooked.

you know what's awesome? is that a creation of my brain is suggesting that i'm a creation of his. it's like a mobeus of reality. weird.

because nobody will listen even if they shouldnt so we all got the right to complain and feel like we made someone listen lol plus common were all on like 1200 calories with hardly any sugar salt etc were all a lil cranky xD

And I'm very proud of myself for thinking that and imagining that you said it. You always are the smarter side of my disorder.

Irony?

You'll also find after you've been here a while that the same old topics are regurgitated and regurgitated, and the same people who got offended last time round get all over pissy again ! Honestly, it's like Groundhog Day here.

(but other posters are right, compared to some forums the people here are model citizens)

If anything the internet is a magnifying glass on Stupid.

What does this have to so with health and fitness? Why are you having fun and chit chatting in a forum for fun and chit chat? We are supposed to be serious about our journey and health goals. How dare you drag me in here to read your forum p

I've been telling you that you're a wonderful human being. Glad you finally admitted it instead of acting like Mr. BA Tough Guy!

Mean and stupid people will always find a way to be mean and stupid. MFP only helps them get smaller while doing it.

Welcome to the real world.

It is an unfortunate side effect of the world wide internet. There are those who are here to help and there are those whose whole life mission is to disrupt.

You have to look pass it and find your avenue.

Heck, this is the first post I have made in months because it really does not matter in the end.

Snarky will be snarky and I have enough good friends that are on my wall and makes my day when I need that uplift.
