    well youre arent supposed to have eating disorders. its disorderly.

    What exactly IS an eating disorder? Is that like when you eat your dessert first to make sure you have room for cake???

    its those fork to mouth issues where you keep missing. kinda like a drinking problem.

    Does anyone else think its odd that we only refer to Eating Disorders as people who dont eat enough? Surely people who overeat have an Eating Disorder too? Dont discriminate!! Or Bully! FFS....dont call anyone pretty too, in case ugly people get offended....lmao.

    This is dumb...Bullying? Seriously? Grow up you arent 9

    You don`t have to be 9 to be a bully/or to recieve bullying behaviour!

    Many people feel bullied or intimidated by people that have a stronger personality!

    the internet makes it worse cos a lot of people that are just normal people suddenly become monsters because they can sit behind their monitors and keyboards and just type s*** then sit back and think that they are `king or queen`

    If your feelings are hurt by words on a screen said by a stranger you'll never meet, you have bigger issues.

    no no outright bullying is choosing to delete someone with an ED .

    then posting on the forum that you did

    and then putting those people down ...... thats bullying (and yes this has happened before)

    putting whatever on your PRIVATE wall to me is fine..... if people view that as bullying .... then they can delete said person

    nothing we can do about asshats in the forums tho now can we?

    What's an asshat?? Is it anything like a shaman??

    It's not bullying. It's totally rude and makes the poster look like an a-hole, though.

    Slandering others by publicly (yeah the internet is public) is bullying in my opinion. So yes, I would. You should grow up and not spread hurtful gossip. If said person does have an ED, than blabbing about it to your other friends doesn't help anyone.

    How many people on here do you see eating garbage food all day, every day, and are putting on an increasing amount of weight? The only eating disorders I see on here are people who eat next to nothing and believe it's the right thing to do.

    I'm not saying eating disorders don't go the other way in the real world, just if those people come on here, they've usually figured out that they have a problem and are trying to fix it, which I encourage.

    Can you consider it public when no one can see it but the people you allow?

    By the way - what's ED?

    Erectile dysfunction?

    ED on this site is an Eating Disorder, get your mind outta the gutter man

    I'm trying to decide if I want to bash OP just to make me feel better about myself.



    Eh, no, I think I'll pass...

    ...but I'm not convinced that everyone else on this thread reached the same conclusion though.

    If you did NOT' mention the person by name, no. It is tacky & immature though. If you DID mention the person by name, technically, it is bullying.


    There is a chronological age requirement on MFP but not a psychological or emotional one.

    that's not bullying.

    that's a$$holing.

    Try not to be a bully...or an *kitten*. If you want to help someone, say something to them. If you don't want to bother with them and would rather cut them off, that's totally cool too. But to cut them off and then talk about them behind their back? In what world is this cool?

    ^^^ this
