    I couldn't agree more!

    But . . . is it wrong that one of my goals on this site is to have all the newbies call me rude and click that little "ignore" feature under my picture. I don't think I'll ever get tired of that.

    Oh, and I STILL wish that you got notified each time someone did just that. I'd like to have a ticker (with an audible "ding" sound) to let me know each time I piss someone off :devil:

    Oh yea. Also I remember when I got my first warning.......good time, good time

    What you got notifications if someone ignored you? Dang I wonder how many people ignore me?

    I have been here a year and have noticed the pattern. This post is 100 percent correct.

    Stops replying to newbies, because like teens, they know it all (right after they asked the question) so becomes jaded and starts to post jokes instead of helping anyone.

    Hey VenomousDuck, I NEED that T-shirt for my hubby!! CLASSIC!!

    So true!!

    And I almost cringe when I think back to my newbie-ness.

    I'm glad I wised up fairly quickly.

    That's great!! I was just thinking about this today! I've been here almost a year straight and am definitely finding myself on the Option B end of things! Although, I don't think I'm generally rude to people but just shake my head and walk away instead of wasting my time replying. That and I was thinking that there should be a warning before someone posts something about using the Search option first!! I get tired of seeing the same old topics over and over!

    Obviously not everyone goes through this, of course. I joined the site not looking to lose weight. We all come from different walks of life here. Believe it or not, people had lives, bodies, science, physical jobs and fitness before they joined mfp and even before the internet (actually, especially before the internet).:wink:

    and when you politely point out to someone who regularly eats like this:

    intake 1200 less cardio 800 = net 400 - please eat something


    you get flamed on the Boards that you're a panic merchant and don't know what you're talking about - I actually got told I was 'too big' to understand how to have a regime like the above and was jealous of their success!

    I'm happy to eat sustainably and lose 1 - 1.5 pounds per week

    Pretty much!

    After this one, add ....."Stops posting jokes and responding altogether but still rolls eyes at Recent Forum Topics like "Help! I've been dieting for 3 days and haven't lost any weight!"

    I knew it all before joining, so after a short break in period to feel out the forums, I went straight to B.

    Yes, but you forgot about the part toward the end:

    ...gets wrapped up in the MFP social life & accompanying drama. Ignores fitness topics, sticks only to Chit-Chat threads
    ... MFP drama becomes a bit much, even interfering with real life
    ... leaves MFP, without much warning
    ... returns under new name

    ... REPEAT as necessary
