    I agree, thank you for posting this! I've seen so many people post rude, demeaning, and sarcastic comments to people's questions. I hope they realize that it isn't okay.

    I love studying the kinds of posts that people write in the forums. Like... what kinds of topics trend well with tickers that never move? Just a little MFP fun fact. The message is more important than it's giftwrapping :heart:

    My thoughts exactly.

    Also I think some people don't realize that what worked for them might not work for someone else and if you state what works for you you get jumped on. I always make a point of stating that what I'm saying is what worked for me and that everyone is different. I still get flack for it and told that I'm wrong or doing it wrong or whatever.

    (an example that comes to mind are the constant questions about eating back exercise calories).

    I was bashed to H!@# for saying that i stay away from too much sodium and man made chemicals in food. The thought was that even heating food casues a chemical reaction...REALLY??? that the same as eating PHOSPORIC ACID??

    eta: I'm loving the audible 'whooosh' I can hear as the point of this particular threadcromance goes over the heads of those who need to listen.

    Yeah that's part of the research I want to do. It definitely appears that people who complain about other people being "mean" on an internet forum aren't nearly as successful. I wonder if it is a result of externalizing control/blame.

    No, wait... I thought people were only mean on this forum recently, and that everything was kittens and rainbows way back when! :sad:

    Have I been lied to???? What if NOW is when everyone's nice, and the worse is yet to come???
