Welcome to the internet. You must be new here. Let me show you around. See, over here we have people with opinions. And, over here we have the "log off" button. You're welcome to choose whichever you like. Just remember, there are consequences to both. I hope I've been supportive and you found this tour to be helpful.
So, if i hit the logoff button, which people with opinions will it log off?0 -
George Takei just threw a relevant post up on facebook ..

Here's a little Internet tip: If you feel offended by something someone else posts, remember two simple rules:
(1) It's not about you.
(2) If you try to make it about you, you'll sound ridiculous.

Love this! and George.0 -

what's wrong with her writing in caps?
It hurts my ears. I read every post in different voices in my head, and she's loud.

You do realize that telling people how to behave is rude, right?
Guess our teachers, parents, grand parents and law officials are all rude then. lol
Do you seriously not see how dumb this response is?
Do you seriously not see that someone in your life failed to teach you proper behavior.
Based upon which culture's standards?0 -
Basic rule of forum/internet etiquette. All caps = shouting. It's like someone yelling in your face. plus, it's annoying as hell to read. It may be worse than people who don't know about punctuation or paragraphs.what's wrong with her writing in caps?
I try to be helpful, but I am blunt by nature. I'm sure some people think I'm mean. But, it is annoying when 5 of the posts on the front page of the fitness forum are asking what kind of results to expect form the 30DS or when someone asks a question, gets an answer they don't like, then picks a fight about it with the person who was originally trying to help. I do also think that while there is some rudeness on the forums there is an equal amount of butthurt, people who take one comment that's not about how awesome they are and jump all over it as if they've been slapped in the face.0 -

Writing in all caps over the internet implies yelling. It is generally considered rude on internet forums.0 -

This is not fitness "school" .
Wait, so I won't get an "A" for doing those special "extra credit" squats like that guy I met on the internet said?
Oh. Those squats and deadlifts will get you a nice round A0 -
Oh look another 'People are so horrible on MFP' thread. Just what we needed. That will save the day and make everyone fart rainbows and make the world pink and fluffy. Awesomeness restored. Right on OP!!0

OMG I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU 150%!!!!!! PEOPLE ARE RUDE AND ALOT OF US DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL OF THESE FANCY TERMS MEANS AND HOW MANY CALORIES WE SHOULD BE USING! I HAD TO DELETE A LADY WHO WAS VERY RUDE TO ME BECAUSE SHE COULDNT UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS VENTING. I DONT LIKE IGNORANCE
You might want to investigate the meaning of the word "ignorance".0 -
Your post is condescending and rude.
your stick figure is sticky.

Me too!! Holy hell that is freaky looking!!!
Agreed.. I think this might just give me nightmares...
This is awful...I mean, really creepy, gave me the willies, and disturbed me something awful....Wow...

P.S. This was a joke. Apparently we need to clarify that on the forums or people get upset.0 -

EVERYONE IS HERE FOR THE SAME REASON....!
Mmmm. Nope. Not everyone is here for the same reason. Some are here for help and support. Some are here to help. Some are here for the GIFs. Some are here just to track calories in and out. Some are here for the social aspect. Some are here to bulk and cut. Some are here to trim down. Some are here to improve strength and "bulk up". Some are here to improve their CV fitness.
Everybody has their own reason for being here. Why does everyone always say that we are all here for the same reason?
:noway:0 -
But calling people a prick isn't rude AT ALL.
Yes, sometimes people are meanie mean heads on the forums. And SOMETIMES they are offering up truths that people don't want to hear. And then they get labeled as bullies.
There are some who post on here wanting validation of THEIR OWN OPINIONS, not real answers. And the people who frequent the forums, the ones who have read it, seen it, done it, and respond to it do get tired of repeating themselves. It's a fine line.
But I can assure you that your post will do nothing but go downhill from here.
Oh and :flowerforyou:
Well said.
It may be out there, but I have never seen bullying in the forums. I have seen rude responses, but not really as many as some people claim. What I do see a lot of is the seasoned veterans of MFP not sugar coating answers to questions. They're going to tell it like it is and will not tell someone that it's just hunky dory to eat 800 calories a day and do 3 hours of cardio. It is thanks to those very direct and honest answers that I upped my calories from 1200 and integrated weights into my workout routine. This has resulted in my husband telling me that I look better now than I did in our wedding pictures 6 years ago and 20 pounds less than my current weight.
People need to realize that everyone on here has a different personality, but it's not the posters responsibility to cater his/her response to everyone because it's impossible to please everyone. It is the reader's responsibility to go into the threads knowing that all types of answers will be given, some of those answers they may not like. If someone goes into a thread expecting to be offended, he/she will be.
exactly everyone is different & also you cant hear voice tone over the net so you may read a statement in one tone when they meant it to sound another way.
I also got such good info from the members and they do give the same advice all the time, so thanks mfp members for offering to help.
when I read the rules I read you could not double post on two boards but did not read you should search so there arnt tons of boards with the same info. I have been on here a month and just read it somewhere days ago. So they really are just saying the same thing over just to help.
& I will also say I think I may come off a bit aggressive sometime just after a hard workout maybe???0 -
Agree100% this is a site where were all here to get fit. The other day i ran into a 580lbs woman on here who was ranting that everyone on this site is retarded and only being bullied into becoming what magazines tell them to be. She then went on to rant at how the terms overweight and morbidly obease are derogatory and incorrect And how bmi is a way to push people to becoming anorexic. Her rant ended with how shes healthy at 580pounds and we should all feel bad for makin people like her feel overweight. I just don't understand the reason firbpeople like that to come on a fitness site to abuse people who want to be fit. Seems like a waste of time or her trying to justify being morbidly obease. But still unless someones a dr i dont take their advise just because it worked for them. Ive been abused just for asking questions about the diet my DOCTOR game me. People actually abused me because they thought they knew better than my dr. They didnt even answer myvquestion... Just went straight into role eyes where do i start youre a moron i know everything ect mode. Extremely rude. My advice though... Just ignore them. Some people on this site are just bitter and have some serious issues when it comes to abusing. Sorry about the errors and how this is typed. Im using an old iphone3 and am only getting about 1cm of space to see whats beibg typed as i type it . Anywho. If anyone wants support on their journey from a friendly mfp member feel free to add me
If your doctor gave you a diet why are you asking people here questions about it instead of him/her?0 -
Thanks for this thread!
But what's a gif? Well i think i know what it is but is it an acronym or what?
Forgive my ignorance and please don't be rude to me!
