    Literally exactly what I've been thinking! Like this website is for people to get support and have their questions answered and people on here can be so incredibly rude for no reason. If they don't like the question why do they even answer it and why are they even on here if they're gonna make people feel stupid for asking something?

    I've never seen that

    apparently the answer is "no"

    but seriously, there are a few, but probably not many and the ones that are probably don't last long posting on the forums much. Though I think what a lot of people take as rude an arrogant is really just people being blunt, or the initial post itself is rude in that it asks a question that gets answered every day (thus the OP is being rude and disrespectful of other posters' time), so long time posters, identifying the initial tone of the post as rude to begin with, feel at liberty to gif up the thread.

    gotta have a thick skin in them there internets

    When they start talking about eating disorders. The comments weren't directed towards me, i hardly commented. I was refering to the way people communicate.

    Some say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit... Just saying

    I'm so sarcastic I can't tell if I'm ever being serious.

    This thread is still going, I can't believe it!

    I will add you! I like to get/give motivation! I don't put others down on this site. We are all here for a common reason and should support each other. We all have good and bad days!

    I dunno, the thing is I don't think I'm rude or arrogant. However I still get called a bully, meanie, etc. When even the nicer posters get called names for offering their thoughts, it makes it kinda hard not to just give up on trying to be nice.

    It's so true! I've been around for awhile, but I've been seeing a lot of posts lately from new people who need some guidance and not sure what to do, and are getting a lot of negative input from people! It's sad, makes me wonder how many people are being pushed away because they aren't getting the encouragement they thought. But anyway, I try my best to be kind! Maybe people are just starting to get too calorie deprived and grumpy ;)

    Why do kitties wiggle their butts like that?

    They do it to balance their weight for the most efficient pounce and kill.

    Yes, I am a cat nerd.

    And this is the exact reason no one takes the "mean people" threads seriously. If someone as awesome and nice as Acrylics gets called mean and a bully then I clearly don't stand a chance, so I just do my thing.

    By negative you mean proper guidance?

    It happens often. :frown:

    Most often I just get called negative. I'm not a sugar coating kind of person. But I also don't go out of my way to be harsh.

    To all of you, including OP, who are appalled at snarkiness in internet forums:

    Also get a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and listen. There are some knowledgeable people here, and you might learn something!

    I don't see this at all. I see a huge bunch of questions that are easily found via search. And lots of rudeness when the oldies take time out of their day to reply. What happened to doing one's research properly? Kids these days want everything right now and if the weight doesn't come off immediately there are temper tantrums, fat freezes, oil grossness, cleanses left and right, miracle pills, weird berries, and endless snowflake excuses. Do you see that? Your post count doesn't insinuate lots of active forum support, but maybe you do your kindness thing elsewhere.
