    I don't understand posts like this. If you don't like the forums don't use them. Seems very simple to me?

    So this is about as big an a-hole as I'll probably ever be here.
    Thanks to the people that are encouraging. I just needed to say it. I get that people will have different opinions, yet there are more appropriate ways of delivering them. It's called "My fitness pal' not "My Fitness Know-t-All, I spit in your face". There are ways of debating and ways of crushing someone. Anyway, I feel better for at least getting it out. :smile: I would just like to help, and get help from people, if i can. But who am I to tell you what to do? Please enjoy what's left of the weekend.!

    Fixed.

    (Sorry Angel, but I know people have been cringing looking at your grammar. It is less than stellar, but we understand what you're saying. Remember that you're a beautiful person.)

    I won't lie or tell you a series of exercise that I know wont help you or anyone achieve their goals......if that is being ****ty....well so be it but I am backed by science. I would not want to lose my time and won't make you lose yours.

    This means you're correct, but still an a-hole. She's saying to use some tact when presenting fact.

    Edit: Poetry unintended.

    That was tactful, in your head, was it?

    No matter where you go or what group you join there will always be negative people or people who think they know more than everyone else. But for the most part I have found people to be very willing to help me answer questions and most are positive.
    Good luck. Feel free to add me to your friend list.
    Take care,
    Doni

    Please don't leave MFP just because of a handful of jerks who are less than tactful in their posts. This is a really great site with a LOT of nice people who are supportive. :flowerforyou:

    Yeah, I know. Not very tactful. :ohwell: The phrase was just sitting there, waiting to be said. Do I let it go and repress the urge? I could get cancer repressing urges that way! :smokin:

    I have only been on here a couple of days and I am already thinking of leaving. I have seen many opinions and comments...

    I thought about leaving after my first few days too - after seeing the amount of comments that are snarky, know-it-all, or down right mean. But this IS the internet, and it's all part of the "charm". Use the food and exercise diaries and connect with some good people, take in what makes sense for you and ignore the rest.

    I have only been on here a couple of days and I am already thinking of leaving. I have seen many opinions and comments...are we not hear to support each other and help where we can. if someone wants to achieve a certain goal it is not our biz to grill them or make them feel bad ...peoples image can be a very touchy subject..and I dont think its our right to destroy someone elses hopes or aspirations.I believe we should only ask why in a private conversation or tactfully...if we think they may be doing something that is bad for their health. Some of the comments I have read are not on and very *****y or derogatory...lighten up people if you dont have experiance with something dont flippin comment this aint FB!!! help not hinder!!!

    Agreed and even if someone is incorrect they don't need to be put down.

    It is a drag. But use the tools for how they can help you and ignore the rest.

    My head must be in the clouds. I have no noticed any nasty comments. Sometimes people can be a little forceful in their opinion
    of how someone else is doing...but have not noticed anything blatent.

    oh yeh opinions are one thing being a prick is another

    A while back I made a post about wanting to be an Olympian and get into Olympic sports and loads of people ripped into me and said I was an idiot for having those sort of dreams/aspirations. There was no need for the level of mockery I got - it was just the downright rudeness and bullying nature of some people on this website.

    I have felt the same way but lately I'm not getting so much hate on my posts. I had to learn to word things differently. There are certain things that "feed the haters" so to speak, so I try to avoid that as much a possible. This thread by the way will attract them like flies.
