    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.

    Maybe if you're wanting a positive internet experience, this isn't the best idea? Get ready, people are about to eat you alive:), oh I said that with a smiley face, to keep things positive!

    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.

    I just over look rude people. Some folks will never have a nice word and I don't come here for others. I need this for myself.

    there is no need for that type of behaviour.Dreams and aspirations are personal and no two people share the same dream!..who are they to put you down. do they not realise they could make or break a persons choices.

    OP you have a point but if you (or anyone else) see a thread or posts that you consider rude or unnecessary then hit the report button and let the admin/moderators deal with it.

    Topics like this, although started with the best of intentions, only cause more friction on the boards and end up being a moderation nightmare, so, for that reason I'm now locking this thread

    At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.
