So I have seen lately as I am on the board more, these absolutely ridiculous posts. I respond like a damn fool then think about it and realize these morons have just signed up to post absurd questions for example : I am 5'4 105 lbs and I know I am fat but by how much...or I am 190 lbs trying to get to 140 but can't eat...?!?! SMH
WHY WHY WHY do we not just ignore these morons.why do we feel compelled to actually respond even if it is just to tell them to eat a burger or call them out on their ridiculous question?!?! Part of me thinks..well maybe they have anorexia (which we can not help them anyways) but most of me says..fool you just fed into the stupid trolls game!

I replied too as well. I agree 100% with you on this.0

Me too. but I am still a site rookie. It never crossed my mind someone would sign up just to be a goob0

I still find it hard to believe they would sign up just for that...but post after post it is becoming clear

Yep, I just don't understand it. What kind of satisfaction do they get out of being a troll?0 -
very true and with these trolls the real people who need help it makes them feel bad we don't whether someone is being serious or being a troll0

So... should I eat my exercise calories back, or not?0

I'm so there with ya. Most of the time, I exhibit self control and don't post, because there's nothing fruitful to add that someone else hasn't already said, but seriously, what's with today in particular? Maybe it's just me and my preggo hormones, but the stuff I've been reading this afternoon is maddening.
Unfortunately, the specific one you referred to is a kid, likely dealing with body dystopia, and she's in the wrong place looking for the wrong thing. The other one, however with the pic of a twig all upset because she wants a thigh gap, well, she's just annoying. As was the girl who kept going on about how MFPers are mean and agist. LOL.
The longer I'm here, the more I sympathize with those who are caustic in their replies…0 -

Maybe they didn't sign up just to be a goob. maybe they signed up just to track their calories in and out. Maybe the forums are a secondary purpose. A good indication that someone is just goofing around or trolling is where they are posting. If I see a semi-serious topic in Chit Chat Fun and Games, chances are it is someone having fun and trying to make us laugh. It's not all serious all the time. You are allowed to have some fun as well.
The other reason you may see this is there are some people who have seen these horrible threads that are serious and have people who are doing stupid things. If it was a once or twice occurrence that would be one thing. However, when it happens cyclically, it becomes sad. That's when you may see someone doing a satirical or a parody thread. It's more of a commentary on the sadness that exists here.
At least you catch yourself. Some of the people who respond to these threads that are meant for humour, and give serious answers never figure out that they are joke threads or not. (Personally, I find those more humorous than the original humorous posts and responses.)0 -

You're coming along nicely. We'll see you more when you are fully indignant with the cycle of posts.0 -

She only joined in Feb 2013. I think I was fed up and ready to give up helping people who would yell at me that I was wrong, and didn't know what I was talking about at about the 3 month point.0 -
Lurkers.
I respond for lurkers. People who either a) have the same problem or b) are considering developing the same problem.`
Also, it's a good idea to condemn anyone who believes that starvation is a good way to lose weight (such as in the case of those "just can't reach 1200 calories) as there will be others - lurkers - who will try it otherwise.0 -

I do feel bad for all the lurkers. I had no idea how many there were out there until recently when I started getting FRs from these people who had almost if not 0 posts, and said they had been reading my posts for quite some time and decided to bite the bullet and FR me.
It actually spurred me to trying again over the last few weeks. You have a point Tizzy.0 -
