We're starving, duh.
Haha. For the win!
ETA: Some people are mean, some are honest but without tact, some people are funny in a way that hurts feelings (my fav), but it shouldn't matter. ...it's the interwebz:)0 -

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.
Awww.. Did the cool kids do something mean to you?
They did me too. Like water off a duck's back. Just let it go. It's better for you that way.
the cool kids locked me in my locker. i had to wait until the janitor arrived this morning to get out.
*hides face* Did you happen to see who pushed you in there?
no. but apparently they all had GIFs.0 -
In for the firestorm, gifs, and talk of unicorn farts.0

Oh. My. God! LOOOL:laugh:0 -
LOL. Oh wow. too cute0 -
LOL... Be my guest.
I didn't' even think of that being the reason for my crankiness. Makes perfect sense. I could look for a .gif of lips covered in beef tenderloin but it might take a bit longer.0 -
Should we give you :hugs: and rainbows and sunshine or would you prefer the truth with actual advice that will help you reach your goals?
I think this can be accomplished while still treating people with decency. However, there are many know-it-all people with poor manners here. They say it is "telling it like it is," when it fact it is plain rudeness. Ignore them. There are some kind and helpful people on here. Find them and interact with them. They will freely give good advice and support you as well. Good luck!0 -
In to steal gifs.0

In for the best thread of the day! :laugh:0

Seriously? Even the "mean" people here are nice, sometimes they are more direct that others appreciate.
The only time I've seen people complaining about meanies is when someone starts the 72nd thread of the day about some detox or cleanse or VLCD etc etc and when someone else posts an answer that isn't in agreement with what they want to hear then the tears begin.
If you really want to see mean go to a scuba forum, tell them you just got open water certified and dived to 240fsw on air then sit back and watch the fireworks.0 -
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.
When there is no voice or face involved, it can be easy to misconstrue what and/or how someone writes something, but, yeah, the above statement is all too often true, especially on message boards. Some people will be jerks in person regardless of the consequences (if any), but some people are jerks in cyberspace only because there is very little chance they're going to get beaten or murdered.0 -
