    I think everyone is here for different reasons, some to lose weight some to gain some to maintain some to track fitness progress and son on.
    I've looked at several recent threads you've posted and haven't seen any bullying. This is the internet , you'll get all types of responses.

    I don't think people bully here. I think a lot of us believe it's important to correct inaccurate information, because we found it helpful for ourselves to have accurate information.

    I also think most people here without current weight problems have previously lost weight or are otherwise working on fitness goals.

    I may have missed something but I certainly don't see any bullying on any of your threads. Maybe people may be a bit confused because it seems as though your jumping from one topic to another ( keto, creatine, cals from carbs vs fat ) but I really didn't see anyone being rude.
    But if you ever feel bullied or threatened, use the report feature at the top and you can report the person to the moderators.

    There's a difference between bullying and giving information bluntly.

    Unless the threads have been cleaned up or there are others I didn't see, I didn't even see bluntly provided info.

    I have a theory that some people don't have a clue what bullying is but claim it any time they see something they disagree with.

    It's been my experience that every helpful poster on these forums, every single one, will be called rude, mean, negative, troll, bully, etc. at some point or another no matter how carefully they phrase their advice. Posts like this tend not to be very helpful. When every helpful poster is called out as mean at some point or another, then making a post like this without examples or qualifications just ends up pointing fingers at everyone.

    There is some actual rudeness that goes above and beyond what should be acceptable here. Report it (use the actual report function not the flags) and let the mods deal with it. But posts like this just add to the negative atmosphere that you're trying to combat instead of solving anything.

    What does that have to do with your "theory" that you've yet to provide a single piece of supporting evidence for?

    do you think that will prevent Allah from sending you to hell?

    do you think that will prevent Allah from sending you to hell?

    Whom is that directed towards?

    It's funny that you start a thread complaining about unspecified bullying yet you then invoke a deity sending people to hell for posts you disagree with.

    I think they're more worried about hats they disagree with? Or maybe color combos? It's hard to keep up at this point.

    FTR - I always thought your hat was red. But I also always thought red and green went together. So...
