Why are people on these forums so mean?

I only get nasty with people if :
1. They post about stupidity like Hgc diets which any person with half a brain knows is unsafe
or
2. Post something that has been over and over a million times and if they learned how to use the search function, they would find the answer...0 -
I am never mean to anyone, but this sight is meant to help people say on track
and for information.
The part I do no like is when people lie!
Burning 400 to 500 calories a day and then going 3 weeks only losing 1 pound!
They say they are only eating 1300 calories, NO WAY!
The math does not add up!
Be HONEST with yourself
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
lol sorry it always cracks me up when people think that your body follows mathematical rules!!! gigglesnort
I havent lost any weight in two years and Im active all the time and eat gorgeous 80% of the time... I must be a horrible no good terrible lying witch who is only here to mislead others by pretending to exercise.0 -
Because we're all eating like 1200 calories, starving, trying to compare ourselves to other thinner people on this site and it makes us all a tad bit stabby.0

Voicing ones opinion is not hate. If you can't handle someone having an opinion that differs from yours then you shouldn't post to a public forum.0

LOL!
I do agree though everyone is differnet and we should all be helping and supporting each other here on MFP.0 -
I agree with everything you just said. There is no more for me to say.0

There are some for sure. They are sometimes trying to impress at the expense of the OP. but for the most part people here are helpful. Find support by building a supportive network and maybe not by posting to the Internet community at large. You can always search for a topic and see past threads as well.0

i like you...and i think you may be right. i am totally not going to let myself say all the things that i really want to say because then i would be a hypocrite. but i am going to say that reading certain threads in this forum have caused me to go to bed feelingIMO they are probably are just regurgitating the hurtful things that were done to them as teens/children. I don't get upset with them, I just feel incredibly sorry for them.
down. But like a dog to its vomit i keep coming back for more.
THIS THREAD WAS 2 MONTHS OLD! WHY DID YOU BRING IT BACK FROM THE DEAD!!! FFS!!!0 -

People are mean period.0

I agree with you. Being nasty doesn't do anybody any good. We are all in this together.0

This is a fitness site. Aimed at losing weight and becoming healthier. Everyone is different. Why judge people so harshly? It seems that most people are in their own bubbles. If something is said that is outside someone's bubble. BAM! Hate comments. I don't understand. We are here to support each other! Has anyone noticed this? Am I the only one that feels really sad when someone is completely disrespected in the forums, even if I don't agree with what they are saying? Please try to be more understanding.
All this talk about eating under BMR, eating back exercise calories, eating less than 1200. It's fine to argue over it, but most people jump to drastic conclusions and peoples' feelings are really hurt. Everyone is different, so everyone has their own weight loss journey. It doesn't make them a stupid or bad person. And, stop hating on people with EDs. They don't have one on purpose! Whether that have Anorexia, Binge Eating Disorder, or ED-NOS, it's not your place to tell them things that they already tell themselves everyday and that they already hear from other people!
Sorry for the rant. I'm not sure if many people will read this. Please tell me I'm not alone in thinking that some people should have more respect towards others. Thanks!
They're called keyboard cowards - people that let their true colors show only when there's no risk of them having to actually face the consequences of their actions/opinions/thoughts. I mostly ignore them because they're primarily looking for attention in the form of controversy and by giving them any attention at all you're validating their cowardly ways.0 -

why are you screaming.
To go against the grain.0 -
I hate that this was the second thread that came up on my page. Hate, ha ha. But, seriously, this is a weight loss/fitness site, not group therapy (although even group therapy can nasty). It's the internet, and you have to grow a thick skin and learn how to weed throw the ignorant and mean comments to find what's meaningful and helpful to you.0

Burns twice as many calories on Tuesdays.0

I completely agree with original post. Who are you to judge someone? Just do your thing and move along. Peace and God bless0

You are right honey, That is why I don't post anything. I don't want to hear any of the mean stuff other people have to say. Some of the things people say is SO wrong too, that it makes me think just because you are mean about it doesn't mean that you know what you are talking about nor does it make you appear any smarter.
well... now I'M the one being mean haha. Anyway, I wish the world - internet or not- was a kinder place.0 -

Yes, why ARE you screaming at me?
I explained earlier that there is an unwritten law about starting new treads that already exist. I, for some reason that is a complete mystery to me, really want to be a part of this community and so I am discussing something that bothers me because it is my personality. And if I am to overlook all the people on here who act like a**hats then maybe me wanting to discuss how I feel could be excused as well. 0 -

But God judges everyone, and I'm just trying to be more like him :[0 -
I'm new and this thread is new to me.
I think the important thing to remember is that whatever somebody says - it's not personal. That person doesn't know you. They're usually responding to a general gripe they have that really has very little to do with any specific person.0 -

haha you said it.
i've only been on this site a week but i see lots of folks treating it like facebook or twitter or something, posting mean comments making fun of others and frankly, posting some weird stuff like gangsta song lyrics and really intimate sexual innuendos
i mean. i'm not trying to judge but that's why facebook is facebook and this is a fitness forum. it's a place to count calories and discuss wellness and weight loss and connect to others who are sharing the same struggle.
Nobody I know posts mean things or gangsta song lyrics on their Facebook. Perhaps it's just the people you know?0
