Ohai.
You rang?0 -
It's been that way since I joined. It seems to mostly be the members following some strict diet protocol, whether it's vegan or Paleo or eat X grams of protein, and the "look at my abs! If you don't eat like me you'll be skinny fat and never look good naked" crowd.
Those that are really just here to improve/maintain weight and health are usually pretty supportive.0 -
I see a lot of that too. I think there are 3 reasons for it:
1) People who are successful can start to think they know everything, and bash people who are going about it in a different way.
2) A lot of people are insecure, and that can be transferred into happily anonymous snarky-ness.
I just take people's opinions with a grain of salt, and when I have a real question, turn to a professional. There are SO many great (And free) resources out there.
3. Some people can't take constructive criticism without getting hurt feelings.

I haven't particularly noticed an increase in disrespectful comments, but I have noticed more threads created to complain about them :flowerforyou:

Plus, it's all subjective. One person's funny joke is another person's cruel jab. Watch:
"So you think that avatar of a beloved children's character abusing cookie dough like it was heroin is funny do you? My son died of a heroin overdose, I don't think it's something to joke about. I wish rude people like you would just get off this site. <report>"
So watch who you side with. I prefer the company of people who can take a joke without getting their knickers in a twist.0 -
