    There's a function to the forums where you can SEARCH recent posts and get 99.9% of the questions answered but people refuse or are too lazy to use the search function, therefore, the same questions get asked over and over and over and over and over again so yeah, sometimes it's annoying to people who have been around a while and they tend to reply with sarcasm...usually not intentionally being rude, just being silly.

    There ARE a few trolls though that will be rude just to be rude and they even go so far as starting threads & asking questions they KNOW will get a rise out of people...just to start *kitten*.

    Shocker hu? It's the internet after all.

    I was going to say this, but you said is better than I. Well said :flowerforyou:

    Om my lord, you really let random internet strangers bother you enough to start a thread about it? Ive had some truly nasty things said to me on here (admittedly by a total nutter!) but did I let it get to me, hell no!! I couldn't give a stuff about her opinion, it meant less than nothing to me...I didn't know her from adam and she knew nothing about me or my life, so her post was just drivel. It's the internet and people will give an opinion, some people are sarcastic, some think they are being funny, some and blunt but thats life, it isn't always pink fluffiness and rainbows even in MFP land.

    Also I have to agree the search function is there for a reason. Because it works, and you can pretty much be guaranteed to find the answer to your question there. You have to admit the same questions such as 'How often do you weigh yourself' do get a little dull after a while!.

    Sensible...and you've got no reason to be jealous of anyone.

    Some people are rude, and more like me are sarcastic with out thinking of who is not going to understand that it's just sarcasm, not meant to hurt anyone.

    Rudeness is defensiveness and defensiveness is just fear masquerading as something else. People get on here because they want to be successful. While most of us cheer each other on and want to see each other succeed, for others, it's a threat to their own success. They don't want to see you succeed, especially if they themselves are not succeeding.

    You also have to think of it this way:

    How many rude people do you know in your own small world? You have now entered the internet and added my world, and the worlds of EVERYONE else on MFP. So by getting online to get support for your workouts and healthy living adjustment, you added a whole lot of support but also inherited all the jerks.

    Mmmm... can we spell the already incorrectly spelled "pwned" correctly in future iterations of this graphic?

    Yeah but it gives a chance for all us rude people to pretend we are just sarcastic and misunderstood. :bigsmile:
