    Well if you stumble across a stupid question and you're not willing to give a nice helping answer then don't answer it at all. There are other people who will help the new users. Meanness can make sensitive people leave this site and go on with their bad habits regarding eating/not exercising. So if you're not in to help in a nice way, move on to the spank/kiss threads.

    There are some people who just give tough love. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Being nice isn't a requirement for being helpful and being nice isn't always helpful. Sometimes giving an answer that doesn't seem nice is more helpful than just being nice.

    ^this. And if directness or non-sugar coated answers make someone leave the site and go back to his/her bad habits, then he/she more than likely wouldn't have succeeded in keeping the weight off anyway.

    Well, I don't know really what exactly a "hate mail" is or how to do one, but here's a cat gif....or two.

    When you do band together make sure it's to follow somebody up...

    I'm a nice person, but the reality of the world is harsh and allowing someone being mean to you in a public forum to be an excuse to continue on with bad habits is insane. If people allow that to give them an excuse to continue on with bad habits, then anything you say to them good or bad/ nice or mean will most likely allow an excuse to creep into their heads.

    We all have to deal with nice people, jerks, crazy people, sweet people, buttholes, and even worse every day. This is life. Sometimes it sucks. People have to strip away the chaos in their head to eliminate all excuses...period.


    oh and kitty:

    Well, sometimes questions seem stupid to others but it's something someone is curious about. I dunno. I think sometimes people really overestimate their expertise and forget that they actually aren't monitoring you every step of the way and that their knowledge isn't always helpful or correct. Weight loss is hugely relative and peoples bodies work in entirely different ways.
    You don't catch many trainers or dietitians being rude, sarcastic or abrupt in their answers because they know that isn't helpful to anyone. It's not motivating either.
    There's too much aggression and emotion though. People just need to take this site for what it is, a motivation and discussion forum for health and fitness. That's all... It's not that serious.
    I dunno, some people help and some people hinder.

    Those people are getting paid. They are just as rude in their heads as the "MFP bullies" are. They just don't say it out loud because they want to continue to get paid.

    That's the problem.
