Really?

Who cares who is Hot, Hott or Hawt? Who cares what brand of shoes you prefer? Who cares what music star is your favorite? Really, that nonesense should be saved for Facebook, My Space or some or maybe even the middle school playground.
What I care about here is people's success stories, their strategies for weight loss and healthy living and maybe even some good low cal recipes.
I know it may seem like I am an "Old" (True) "Stick in the mud" (Not true), but I just think there is a time and place for everything and MFP is not the place for Hot, Hott or Hawt.
Perhaps chit-chat, fun, and games is not the correct forum for you. Stick with the success stories and such!0 -
You done went and pissed off all the pretty people who need their fix of attention, bro. Way to go!0

Hey Chit-Chat, Fun, and Games is my bread n butter until 5 so if you dont like it kick over to the other forums to chat without a sense of humor

You mean like the favorite perfume, "Drop a word ....Add a word" game, "*~*When did you meet your true love?*~*", and "If he was yours, what would you call him?" threads you've participated in during the last couple of months? :huh:I agree.. why do people waste time with that nonsense?

Is anyone at all surprised that many responded to this post in a very defensive manner to a simple statement about content on a public forum?
No. Although not quite on point, this following quote was something I read on a sports forum I frequent. It can be applied to most forums.Internet commentary in general, from sports teams, to hotel reviews to lol-cats is overwealmingly negative. For many forums and message boards are largely an "I oughtta write a letter!" outlet for venting complaints. It's a totally consistent rational human behavior. Negativity bias is well documented in volumes of psychological and market research. It takes a standout performance to get on a consumers good side, but it takes pretty much any un-remedied error to get on their bad side. Consumers take the time to comment if they have EXCEPTIONALLY positive experiences, or if they are sent out the door with pretty much any negative experience. Nothing special about how that relationship plays out here.
My answer to those who are frustrated with or don't approve of how others choose to make use of the forum is instead of complaining about other people's words of which you have ultimately no control, (and ironically further confirming the negative bias hypothesis in the process) why not simply change the dymanic with your own positive and compelling commentary? That is a rhetorical question. I know exactly why not. Because you are also subject to the negativity bias. We all are. It's human nature and pretty much inescapable.
However, if you are dead set on trying to overcome the natural human impulse to complain faster than we compliment, then it would behoove those unsatisfied with other's choices about the use of the forum to put their mouths where their mouths are and step up their own positivity game. No amount of complaining about other people's posts is going to change anyone else's behavior. Yes, including the complaining I am doing about the complainers about complainers right now. So go slap yourself in the nads.0 -
