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

    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!!

    Oh dear, not a great way to get your point across. A very aggressive and rude post.
    If you think calling people pricks is a polite gesture then whoever taught you manners needs slapping.

    I don't think people on these boards are particularly nasty or rude. It just gets tedious when the same stupid questions are asked over and over or when answers are given the OP gets an *kitten* on because it's not the chocolate coated marshmallow answer they wanted.

    Next time you get offended by somebody's comments, make sure your own rant does not make you look like a tool!!

    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

    Opinion. Yes.

    But it's the sort of "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" thing. Starting the thread aggressively in a rant in a nice little introducing yourself way will for some strange and unusual reason not give you the best responses in return. But you knew that when you posted this. Because, you know...you like getting a reaction.

    99% of these replies prove my point.

    I realise that what i said may seem contradictory, however, not a lot of people have proven otherwise.

    Some people are a bit mixed up with 'opinion' and 'fact'; as most go on like their opinion is actually a fact.

    Yes these posts ask for opinions, but theres no need to be so horrible.

    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.

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

    your 4,000 odd posts say otherwise lol :-P

    Being blunt isn't rude.

    Being overly sensitive and lashing out to label a group of people as pricks, is.

    I know how you feel! The same people who think they are experts keep slamming others . I hardly every get into the rants or respond to many of these. I like talking and comparing notes with my friends and reasonable people....but sometimes it seems that the forums are an attraction for people who are extremely bored and just want to rant . They need to get a life. There are a lot of us who really value the friendship and support of others!

    I get what you are saying. In many respects mfp threads have deteriorated to gifs and people trying to score points off each other.
    So pretty much just like the rest of the known internet :flowerforyou:

    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.....?

    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.

    OP has made me want to turn a new leaf. Become a better person. Not be a p***k on internet forums. For that, I thank you, OP. :flowerforyou:

    Thus, I quote this post for it's genuine helpful intent.

    And you are different?

    I guess you can't be friends with yourself after this post. It was both rude and arrogant.
