in Motivation and Support
I think this post needs to be made. I just saw a thread where one person made fun of someone for misspelling words. I also saw one person call someone "retarded" yesterday. How is that motivating or supporting someone? It doesn't matter what message board it was on, there is no place for it here. This is a website that people join in order to get healthy, get fit, make new friends, and gain motivation for reaching their goals. There is absolutely no reason for people to be mean to others on this site (or in general).

Thanks. I hope everyone agrees.

    I also agree. I hate seeing those negative/nasty/uncalled for comments. There's just no reason for it!

    Thanks, but I don't intend on changing the human race. Those idiots will still be around :)

    Nobody should have to worry about getting rude comments on their posts on this site.

    Maybe it's like reverse psychology.

    Do you honestly think THIS post hasn't been made a thousand times before? Sometimes people only need to have a differing opinion to be called mean. We're all adults, this isn't a playground. There are worse things in life than having spelling corrected. Maybe a little perspective is needed?

    The problem is that so many times people are called rude/mean/bullies simply because THEIR opinion doesn't match what the poster WANTS to hear. Granted, there are cases of people just being douchecanoes b/c they can.

    But more often than not it's a case of "I'm going to ask a question and if you don't tell me what I want to hear than you're just a big meany poo poo head!"

    As much as I agree this is a public internet forum...so you have to take anything with a grain of salt. Lots of those kind of post have the same people as always commenting and LOTS of times its inside jokes and such. I have learned to not get upset and get over it.
