    OBVIOUSLY they're butt hurt because someone didn't say something nice about them in the childish "kiss me, date me or ****me" type threads on the chit chat board. Middle school ended 10+ years ago. :laugh:
    I don't need a random stranger telling me I'm schmexxxy, because I know I am. :tongue:

    Also they could be hungry. :laugh:

    So sorry OP. :frown:

    I hate the friends I have, I need some new ones. Then if you new people don't please me, I'll delete you too!! I'm a great and supportive friend that way.

    The "f* yourself with a cactus" reply was actually a GIF that was pretty funny:

    (Why, yes, I am stirring the pot.)

    You get a lot of people on here that are elitist jerks. They use broscience and the fact that something worked for them and mush it in your face when you disagree with them. Then they troll your post so they can be "important" because arguing and get the last post in a thread on the internet makes you a smart guy. All because some people lost some weight and read a bunch of articles doesn't make them an expert. But for some people, this is their facebook and they choose to be *kitten* about it and live on the forums. Honestly, if you have a question ask your friends in your feed first before you go the forums because MFP has had a recent recruitment of smart a$$e$ lately.

    Ive found it is kind of the opposite. I usually see the broscience people get bashed. Regardless there are def some angry people on here, but thats the internet I guess.

    I have posted on another (unrelated) forum since I was in College and it makes this place seem like a joyride. I think that has maybe conditioned me a bit more than people who are new to message boards.

    Its probably because their just as unsupportive as your friends and know it and don't appreciate being called out. That behaviour i8s exactly why I ditched weight watchers, bullies and negative people that can not put themselves in your shoes and think they are perfect, well ignore them cus their not.

    I answered a post yesterday about where to find a certain weight related calculator...and the girl messaged me and said that she was so unhappy/disgusted with the unnecessary/unkind comments that she received that she was going to drop her membership on MFP!

    what did you post?

    More or less that I need new friends because the ones b/c the ones I currently have aren't supportive. And now I need to **** myself with a cactus...

    Sheesh! That's ridiculous. You can add me if you like. I'm on daily, and I like making new friends :)
    And be careful with that cactus, okay? :laugh:

    Hey, OP, you can borrow my copy of "How to win friends and influence people". I think you may need to read it.

    First off...grats on the weight loss and love your ticker.

    I have a pretty thick skin when it comes to this site and internet forums in general. But sometimes, the responses and general attitudes you get on here are both humorous and pitiful. The internet tough guys and trolls take the cake though. But nothing, and I say nothing is as brutal as WoW forums. Those MMORPG guys take their craft seriously :indifferent:

    The forums can be brutal. Some of the stuff that happens on the forums is BS. However in this case the OP isn't any better then the jerks on the forum. She put up a post calling her friends down!

    To answer the orginal question...because this forum is a cross section of society, and there mean people in society. My advice is to ignore them and continue to look for what you are looking for. (you can add me as a freind, but be warned, I'm not a cheerleader) But don't react to them...they love that and it only encourages them.

    I disagree. Ever go over to the D3 forums? They make the WoW ones look like Candy Land.
