    I love this post and I agree with it wholeheartedly :happy: . There are numerous things that "work" when losing weight but you won't make a lifestyle change unless it is something that fits you.

    11) It's okay to be classless, hateful, ugly, and just rude to anyone who disagrees with you on the above opinions (or anything else for that matter) as long as you're just some anonymous person behind a computer.

    Discerning individuals know that disagreeing is an acceptable option. I learn quite a bit from those that disagree with me.

    True, but some fail to see the line between disagreeing and attacking/abusing.

    I see nothing wrong with "attacking" nonsense, I do agree with you on abusing. :)

    Define nonsense and who gets to judge that versus a difference of opinion. I've had people praise the Atkins diet and other swear it off as nonsense (just one example of many). Can you further quantify what you're defining as being eligible for attacking?

    You forgot 12. It's NOT ok to disagree ever. You'll be labeled mean. Or a troll.

    One thing I learned is that newbies will tell you how it is done.

    Also more fun when you can laugh at the idiocy...

    I agree completely!!! I usually will have to preface my postings to "I am a pro-artificial sweetener person.....I do not want to hear anything negative!" I cannot believe how ugly people can be....I love my MFP pals I have who are supportive on my journey!! I don't have to come here some to get support when there are so many A$$es! LOL!!

    AUGH. I know, right? It's almost scary what people will believe when it comes to their health.

    I learned that no matter how well meaning or light hearted your topic post is..SOMEONE will take offence to it and call you names. I also learned not to care about those replies!

    100% LOL

    Noticed this first- glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
    I have seen all of these...
    Seen the lose vs loose complaint more than I have seen the typo
    So funny!

    I have to say I have thought this from the very first thread I read on MFP. It never fails when I get on the forums and start reading, I end up being seriously pissed about something someone said. Theres a total bunch of psychos on here, thats why I only have 3 friends, lol, from another site I'm on which is much more supportive and for people who have had WLS like I have. I see some people have been complaining about your observations but I see them as spot on. :)
