    Thank you for changing the human race. No one has thought of this tactic before. Ask and it shall be done.

    Thanks, but I don't intend on changing the human race. Those idiots will still be around :)

    Nobody should have to worry about getting rude comments on their posts on this site.

    There's nothing like an internet forum to bring out the wolf in some people.
    My suggestion, put them on ignore. They aren't supportive folks, and don't deserve your attention or energy.

    Why do you think it needs to be said? The people that post those kinds of things are not going to change. Someone makes one of these posts at least once a day. Search for 'mean people' or 'bullies'. If it violates the rules then report it. If it does not then put them on ignore. These hair-flip posts just stir the pot.

    has this been posted before?

    hmm?
    Nope. I'm pretty sure this is the first time this has ever been posted in any internet forum ever. EVER EVER!

    Someone disagreeing is often thought of being rude/mean - it is not. For someone actually making verbal attacks - that is what the report button is for.

    And please do not take this to be a personal insult or me being rude or mean, but this topic is posted multiple times a week (sometimes day) and it will not change anything - it's the interwebz and this site is pretty mild compared to most.

    I think this post needs to be made. I just saw a thread where one person made fun of someone for misspelling words. I also saw one person call someone "retarded" yesterday. How is that motivating or supporting someone? It doesn't matter what message board it was on, there is no place for it here. This is a website that people join in order to get healthy, get fit, make new friends, and gain motivation for reaching their goals. There is absolutely no reason for people to be mean to others on this site (or in general).

    Thanks. I hope everyone agrees.

    Hi, Purdy! I see this nonsense all over the internet, especially on news article comments. That and non-related comments was why I left AOL for Yahoo. But I see the same nonsense in Yahoo, too. It's usually much better on strictly-moderated sites, where the moderators don't put up with that sort of nonsense.

    But you're right: being mean or making fun of someone for misspellings isn't helping. Enough already!

    but you'd think weight loss sites would attract a different caliber of people.

    Why do you think a weight loss site with hundreds of thousands of users would only contain people who agree with everything you say?

    Sadly, there are a lot of people that use the internet that seem to have nothing but time on their hands to make sarcastic/nasty comments to other people.

    These people hide behind the anonymity of their computers...what is more sad is that `they` probably in the real world are a little sad and friendless and find internet bullying/trolling is the way to improve their own status in their `own world`

    But there have been many posts on MFP with the same question and ultimately they fall into `popcorn n bacon` that is that the threads attract the very type of person that you don`t want to attract.

    If the world was a nice place we wouldn`t have wars.

    You can always click on the `ignore` feature to not have to read some of the more `unsavoury` replies

    Trust me, I know the Internet, but you'd think weight loss sites would attract a different caliber of people. I'm also on Fitocracy and I haven't seen any snarky comments on there. Just a shame.

    Why exactly would you think that? Are all fat people and once fat people motivating and nice where you live? Do people generally meet your politeness standards for having been fat?

    I know some rude fat people. And some humorless ones.

    Edited for syntax.
