Just a rant.

Getting slightly annoyed at the attitudes of people on these forums. What is the need to be so rude??

Unless the question states that they need an opinion then simply dont give it; or if they are asking for an opinion, then please learn the etiquette of expressing your views...

Anyway, if theres anyone out there who is like me, here to support people on the same journey and togain some motivation, then please friend request me.

Rant over!!

    Thanks guys!! I know not everyone is going to agree with eachother, but there is no need for the hostility! Stop putting people down.

    Makes me sad.

    Questions invite opinions. There's no way to answer a question without giving an opinion.

    Posts like this one belong on your blog, where people can choose to downvote it if they so desire.

    In case you didnt know about the blogs, go to myfitnesspal.com/blog/yourusername

    Always looking for friendly support! Being mildly irreverent and having a sarcastic sense of humour is a huge asset. :-D

    Feel free to add me!!

    Is it bad that I had a good chuckle that the OP comes across as both rude and arrogant?

    NO!

    It's an appropriate way to express an opinion!

    There is a really, really easy way to stop being annoyed at people on the forums.

    Yes, ma'am, but like any social media outlet you have people with all sorts of personalities in one spot. What you may take as rude may not be.. They just be quirky and not realize how their post is coming across..

    I personally like the snarky, sarcasm, the jokes, the sweethearts, etc etc.. If we were all the same this would be a very boring place to be.

    I know what you're saying, but a lot of times the people asking for opinions or asking questions argue with the suggestions of others because they want to hear what they want to hear. Anyone offering conflicting advice or giving suggestions instead of just telling them they are right are blasted for being "rude and arrogant."

    Also, the forums have a search function for a reason, one which many people neglect and post questions that have been answered thousands of times already. If an answer is delivered in a curt way, it's likely just that people are tired of answering it. They probably didn't mean to be rude, they just wanted to answer the question quickly and move on.

    Edited to add: Sometimes being mean is the only way to get through to some people.

    Yet again. People cannot be nice.

    I simply refer to the people who cant express their opinions in a respectful manner.

    Hey, im entitled to an opinion to.

    Maybe the people that are offended by my use of the word p***l are guilty of it themselves

    All of this is why I generally don't waste my time in the forums.
