Anybody on MFP who isn't rude and arrogant??

I heard there was candy and cake here.

Wait...

So people who are voicing their opinions are pricks, but when you voice yours you are not a prick. Even when calling other people pricks. Got it.

I usually avoid these petulant and redundant "rudeness" threads, but my BS-metre is overloaded today and I'm beginning to behave out of character. :explode:

Yes, we've just learned to not post.

^^Staying off the forums is wisest. I only poke my head in now and then... and leave again.

In for yet another 'mean people' thread. :flowerforyou:

Anybody on MFP who isn't rude and arrogant??

Yes, hello!

Just a rant.

Hm...well those can get a little rude...so be careful or you might lose credibility in calling other people rude and arrogant....

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

Hm....~scratches head~....I've not seen anyone being rude. I've seen people giving the no nonsense critique that is often asked for here though.

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... There is a way to do it without being such a p***k.

Well that was an interesting sentence....because I would say there was definitely a way of writing that opinion without calling people names in doing so.....maybe you were just trying to be ironic? :huh:

Also, this is a forum....the whole point is that someone writes something, then other people write their opinion about what has been written.....I'd say writing on a forum when you *don't* want someone's opinion back is kind of a pointless exercise....?

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!!

Hm, not too sure how many people will be terribly eager to be a friend when you've called them a naughty word.....?

Also it never ceases to amaze me that people will have no problem claiming that "everyone's journey is different" and then insist that everyone should communicate in exactly the same way. Why should weight loss be individualized but communication should adhere to a strict set of rules?

Yep. I'm only here for the man candy thread and got waylaid.

OP you've got 38 posts-- so you're new to this community. Each community has its own rules and etiquette. To go into that environment and say that the people who have been here longer are wrong and should change for you comes off as . . . well a bit arrogant.

Also since this is a community there are all types of people here. There are people who are rude, sarcastic, sweet, melodramatic, etc just like there would be in any community. The best policy imo is to ignore those who don't fit the style of interaction that you prefer. There are plenty of others who will not respond well to your particular style either. It's okay, we don't all have to communicate the same way.

There's a drop down arrow under each user's avatar. Clicking it will give you the option to put any user on ignore.

^^THIS!
