    I 110% agree with you. I vented about this yesterday. This site is WONDERFUL except for a handful that are hateful and soooo critical of others. They need to find better use of their time for sure.

    I am surprised. Been on this site for about 45 days now and I am always impressed with the time and effort people take to respond to the questions or worries of complete strangers. I have seen certain posts quite frequently, asking very similar questions repeatedly, (for example the eat exercise calorie perpetual favourite) yet again and again people here patiently, in detail respond again and again. I have yet to see ONE negative reply by anyone. Maybe I am just lucky or maybe live in blissful ignorance.
    I am sorry to hear that your experience was less than positive. I hope that your post gave you a chance to let some of your frustration and annoyance dissipate. It can be very hard to let negative comments slide off our backs, but let us all be ducks in that regard. Quack:)

    Actually I have not experienced this I have seen my fellow friends on here experience this and randomly found threads that people were rude. Also some people were rude to my husband when he posted a thread. so I stand up for those people in this post!

    I have found nothing but amazing, wonderful, supportive people here. I might not always agree with everything that is posted, but I don't let that bother me. If people need to be rude to people they don't even know online, they need to find something better to do with their time.

    I am also fortunate to not have received abuse, but I think it's odd when someone posts and titles it "Calling all _______" (vegans, South Beach, weight-lifters, etc.), and then people that their post doesn't apply to respond by telling them that whatever they are doing is stupid and wrong. It seems a little odd and unnecessary. I'm sure they mean to be helpful, but...

    I totally agree. I mean this is a lesson we learn as children and it seems like some where down the line people forget how to be nice to eachother. Great post sweetie!
