Is it just me or are some the people on this site extremely rude? I am here looking for support and to gain some knowledge...not to be put down. I'm not trying to start anything. Am I the only one on this?

    I think its the case with all forums in general... people find it easy to hide behind their monitors

    People can be rude. You cannot control this. That's life. Take what you want from this site, interact with the ones you feel are nice, block the rude ones, leave the rest alone.

    Yes because having 5 posts a day about mean people says "I must be the only one that finds this site to have rude people"

    If this is the thread you are talking about, I don't think the other poster was rude, let alone "extremely rude".

    Thread on a public forum... means everyone that has an account on mfp can comment...kinda how internet forums work. You must be new.

    Edit: to add a word cuz my tablet ate it.

    i'd just ignore it and move on :) don't let it make you upset, its just someone on the internet! They can't hurt you unless you let them.

    This is ridiculous.

    You're posting information on a public forum. By doing that, it's up for comment and debate. If you don't want anyone to ever challenge you, don't post. On the other hand, instead of getting defensive, you might be able to hear them out and learn something new.

    The person who commented on your comment was not being rude to you. She simply asked for you to clarify your point.

    I'm sorry it made you feel bad, but I honestly don't think that poster was trying to do that. I think she was just confused by your reply and was trying to correct the response so the OP wouldn't be misinformed.

    Sometimes people on this site are direct with their responses, but the vast majority aren't intending to be hurtful.

    Some people are rude, some are polite, some are helpful and some are full of *kitten*. It is the internet; it is the only place some of us get to be alpha. You will get used to it.

    So why come on here and accuse someone of being rude to you and not post the whole story? Why not confront said "rude" person and ask what they meant instead of making a whole new thread to complain about them behind their back?
