Rude People

Assuming you haven't put me on ignore..

You started this thread because I posted a comment that was (while sarcastic) HELPFUL. You even said you read the link. Did I help?

Sigh. You pointed him to a link.

On another note. Makes me sad a 37 year old man is posting topics complaining about people being mean. Something I would have done as a teenage girl.

Yes, I pointed him to a link with a post I wrote with information that would answer the question. I also asked him a question in my post that would hopefully point out what a silly question he was asking and make him think and be able to answer it himself.

Sorry! The "sigh" was directed at the butthurt of the OP. Your advice was completely solid.

Ok i see. Well then maybe you can give me an idea. For me, since I just started this, I felt that I have to go kind of cold turkey on some things, because it is too tempting for me to eat that one slice of pizza, i will want more. I am better not eating it and teasing myself with it. I admit, I am not strong enough to resist just a few temptations, i will eat more, and that is where I am right now.. perhaps when i am stronger and on this way of eating I can, but for now, im not there yet. I cannot do like the ones who can eat some fattening foods, i kinda have to not even eat it.... i have had to put a space between what i eat and what i used to eat, becuase in the past when i started to eat some of those things, i totally went back to eating whatever i wanted, and gained weight.

Oh yeah...it seems like it's been awhile since a MFP mean person thread....

MFP forums...be afraid...very afraid...

what movie is this from? I need to see this in context!!!

Link for reference and to put this in context?

Hey! You can't just clear up misunderstanding like this!!! No. No no no. NOOOOO!!!

No, instead, you are obligated to make a new forum post expressing your disgust...nay, your utter dismay at the shortcomings of...(wait, no, not strong enough)...the failure of...(still not there yet)...the gross ineptitude of the other party who misunderstood your post.

Go ahead.

I'll wait.

Just let me know when it's posted.

I LOL'd

:insert flounce kitteh gif here:

Why is it the rude people threads always end with OP flouncing? Is it like one last comment to the masses that we all suck?

FWIW, I love everyone. All of you here. I can't help it. You're all so lovely.

:flowerforyou:

When I finally leave MFP...(and honestly, I'm surprised I've made it this long)...I can assure you it will be on the heels of an epic "how I feel about the people of MFP" post.

:flowerforyou:

Look ^^
It appears you just met another

Stick to just asking your friends questions via your status, or look it up on bing or Google or whatever.
Definitely don't post things via forums, because yes,
6.5/10 people on mfp suck.

Don't know what it is, I've never seen attitudes & disrespect on other weight loss/support sites like I do here. Weird.

Could very well be that those folks are projecting out of frustration about their own issues. I just ignore them. There are way too many helpful people here. I think they outweigh (no pun intended) the rude.

I've always wanted to know, why start a thread about this? Why not just reply to the post that bothered you in the actual discussion in which it occurred?

So OP deactivated and once again I don't get this question answered by someone who actually does this. I swear I'm gonna get a reply from one of these little boogers someday. I don't even care that much about the answer anymore but it's been so illusive it's like a quest now. My MFP white whale

First forum? Welcome to internet forums.

Handy tip:
1) Spot someone being rude.
2) Click drop-down arrow near username/avatar.
3) Click on "ignore user".

I generally wait until I recognize a username for consistent rudeness. Then I target them for elimination. Ahhhhhhhhh; so satisfying! Everytime I see the message that I'm ignoring a certain user, I pretend it's a grave marker.

Nice tip thanks!

This thread is only for rude buddies. You will get a better response if you start your own thread in the Introduce Yourself forum.

Oh good, someone already brought popcorn

Haha cute^^^ and yes OP but posting a thread like this calls them from the deep.
