I get mean when people drunkenly delete me from their FL and then beg and plea for me to add them back.
Yep!0 -
Why are you so whiny and yelly?
Because I just don't get it.
If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.
while i can understand that newbies think some of us snarky/sarcastic individuals are mean - sometimes we've gotten the same question... a LOT. and sometimes - when you've answered a question 10 million times, you get short about an answer, or you give a snarky joke instead.
and sometimes, a poster just gets butthurt for no reason and loses the ability to differentiate someone disagreeing with them, and someone being mean.
and some ppl are just d!cks.0 -
I know you are too new to know the can of worms you have opened here but this never ends well.
The reason people are mean on the internet is because they have a large audience and they have no accountability.
Also some things that are labeled as mean are actually just honest and people don't like straight shooters.
I have found this site to be very useful in helping me lose weight. There are way more good than bad. There are groups you can join where everyone is like minded which will help you avoid mean people. I would recommend joining one of those.
Or they do it cause they're trying to fit in to a specific peer group and be accepted by some people on this site... Posting pointless GIF are the "COOL" thing to do on MFP. IF you want to be "COOL" on MFP you need to snarky, sarcastic. Everyone does it, we all might as well be a bunch of followers.

This topic title was just an opening for everyone to be more 'mean' to you. I will say what I say to everyone else that posts these kinds of things, Who Cares. I could care less when people on the internet say something rude. It's internet, it's to be expected.0

I mean, I thought that this site was supposed to be about support and motivation. All I see are snarky/mean answers to everything on here.
It's disgusting..

Sometimes it not only gets boring typing the same response over and over ad nauseum, but the non-snark response gets less attention from the OP, and that defeats the point in replying. Either no one notices the "Sorry, the Raspberry Keytone/Coffee Enema/Juice Fast/Fat Flush cleanse is at best a waste of money, don't do that," or you get called a MEAN PERSON for not understanding how EVERYONE'S BODY IS DIFFERENT and didn't get to have the fun of being at least a tad snarky in your first response. There's no motivation to spoon feed sprinkles to everyone.0

This is my first post so I'll be nice. :flowerforyou:
However, I must warn you. I'm on day 3 of my new "low carb llifestyle" (trying to remove the word "diet" from my vocabulary.)
Someone mentioned popcorn on a reply and I swear, my mouth watered. Good grief. :grumble:
Anyway, people on the internet are mean for a variety of reasons. Either they feel brave hiding behind the anonymity of their monitors. Or they're hungry. Or they're just a bit anti-social...hence: the internet.
Or they could just be b*tches. Whatever the reason, I wouldn't let it bother you. It's their problem much more than yours.
(I hope that was nice enough)
Have a great day! :laugh:0 -
There are alot of weight loss forums and weight loss subforums of other forums out there....if you don't like MFP's, then try one of them.
The internet is too big to be sad because the people on one forum are not nice enough for you.0 -
