Another Thread For The Wolves

Ignore the snark and move on. There are LOTS of great folks on here. Don't let the first few folks sour you on mfp.

* Sigh * Why didn't I just go to bed at 9:30 like I said I would.

In for how your "people are mean" thread is different than most.

Tl:Dr. Cliffs?

Congratulations MFP land! You have just proven how half of you are no different than the rest of the severely damaged people in the world who get offended by someone else's story.

The other half are just fairly mixed up but eager to encourage and help if we can . Stay!!! X

Congratulations MFP land! You have just proven how half of you are no different than the rest of the severely damaged people in the world who get offended by someone else's story. EXCUSE ME for not already having a band of supportive friends in my real life who experience what I experience. I'll remember that the next time I try and use a website for help for something I don't see going on around me in every day life.

I've met some of the most supportive, positive, kind people on MFP and I'm proud to have them as friends, even offering so much as their home to me when I was in the midst of not having a place to stay. They are currently helping me through a really rough time. They never complain when I obviously need support, just offer compassion, friendship and caring. Maybe you chose the wrong friends, or you're too focused on the negative.

I've done a ton of research in the last couple years and completely changed our family's eating lifestyle. Those who have friended me the last couple days can tell that from my food diary. After a year of finally eating correctly as far as much as I knew how too, I decided to start working out. I work in an office all day and I knew I needed to be more physically active. 4 months later, I'm just now starting to see some kind of a change, but still weigh the same as I did a year ago. I also learned my thyroid was borderline high with my TSH levels.

I am very sorry your extensive research never taught you the difference between to, two, and too.

So yeah, you got offended at some elitest attitude that doesn't exist. I'm here to track my daily intake to learn what I can do different to actually start losing that 17 lbs that I've not been able to lose at all for the past 2 years that I actually started trying to do something about. It's been a long journey with a lot of mistakes and cheating. I also came here to see what more I can learn that I haven't learned already from my research. But all you wolves chose to see something else.

AWOOOOOOOO

This will most likely be my last starting topic in this forum. I'll just hang on to the many friends I've made and use my newsfeed for my support and advice.

Read as: "I will only speak to the people who agree with me and refuse to listen to anyone else".

Next, please.

I thought the rules on this site specifically said not to correct people's grammar and command of English, etc? Congratulations, troll. You have just been reported.

The rules of this site also say no flame baiting, which is exactly what your thread title, and subsequent post is. Did you also report yourself?

Also, no insults, calling the entire membership "wolves" is intended to be demeaning and insulting. You can't hide behind the site guidelines while simultaneously intentionally violating them. That's trolling, which happens to be another guideline violation. I believe you may be up to 3 strikes already, impressive for just one post.

Biggest Advice: This is the internet. Take what you need and leave the rest behind.

You wasted precious minutes of your life writing ANOTHER thread to tell off people that don't care about what you have to say. Don't give anyone that much power over you....Especially not strangers online. You're not proving anything to anyone.

Good luck on your journey! :flowerforyou:

This is beautiful advice OP. Your different story is the same as mine and as long as I dont attack the community for that I find them quite supportive. But be warned you well get called out on things if someone thinks you are doing something wrong... That's why there is a reply button.

I thought the rules on this site specifically said not to correct people's grammar and command of English, etc? Congratulations, troll. You have just been reported.

The rules also specifically state no name calling and no retaliation. You've also been reported.

Went and read your previous thread. Your bad attitude is what got you attacked. Looks like you're ready for more of the same, all the while blaming other people for how they respond to your attitude. This isn't going to go well.

If your plan is to stay off the forums, then stay off the forums. Making big, attention seeking posts that yell I'M STAYING OFF THE FORUMS SO NYAH NYAH doesn't actually count as staying off the forums

The half of you who say I need a life while subsequently spend your time tearing others down because you're miserable and damaged inside need to do something about that miserable damage before you end up discouraging a weaker person away from doing something awesome for themselves.

:flowerforyou: Thank you!

Coz they have to much time on their hands!.................... Well at least you have somthing in common!

:yawn:


coffee?

I wish you were closer... You know... So you could make me some

I wasn't going to respond to this...but I just can't help it.

Let me start with the negative..continue reading for the positive.
I read through your other post - the one that provoked this one. I too took the post as most others did. Regardless of how much we have to lose if any..we are ALL here for the same reason..to be healthy. There are tons of people on here that are actually not looking to lose a thing but have been beyond that and are now just hanging around to continue on healthy and maybe help a person or two. You stated you read through the boards before posting, yet somehow you still came across with "I am not fat like all of you". That in itself will provoke a lot of people to attack - even I wanted to comment saying...ummmm what makes you so special to most on here? I did not..but the thought was there as I read.
As I read on - you replied to a young lady that was trying to..in a very nice way explain to you why you were getting the nasty comments and you attacked her with the nastiest comment on the post. SMH?!?!? This my dear will feed the "wolves" as you call them.
Also calling every person that comments in a non accepting way a troll...you just sealed your fate on the boards. The posts you make stay for some time..and people can click on your post number and read them. This in itself makes you an un-welcomed member by many. When someone sends me a friend request I check their profile and their previous posts to see what type of person they are. To me - you come across with an attitude just the same as the "wolves" I would ignore your request in a heart beat.

Now onto some positive - when posting on the boards you need to be careful how you word things. remember there are thousands of people on here and the internet is famous for misinterpretation. Before posting - read it more than once. Make sure you, yourself are not being judgmental or demeaning to others. If you are called out on something..own up to it and apologize....not attack back!! ~ Regardless of your efforts from time to time you may get some snarky comments - ignore them and reply to the ones that answer your question. If you ask questions - be prepared to possibly hear things you may not want to hear. If this is the case..do not go getting your panties in a bunch. There are some VERY knowledgeable people on here and chances are what they say is correct. If they are not..someone will correct them..I promise! Replying to something you do not want to hear with attitude will only bring out the "wolves" Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you post on a public forum...you will get many of them! If you find you can not handle it - stay off the boards and stick to your wall. The forum doesn't change!

Good luck on your journey!
