You requested all the woo. I may be responsible for 5-10 of them. I was trying to be helpful, but I did not go so far as to stalk your posts to do it. I did hug-stalk @Tacklewasher though. :laugh:
Yeah, like I'd notice a few more hugs, with all that @pinuplove and @quiksylver296 have given me..
I still haven't figured out how to find this
In the drop down box for your forum notifications, click "All notifications" and it takes you to a new screen with all your notifications. It's right at the top.
If you don't have any notifications then there is no "All Notifications" option. The direct link to the summary is...

Yeah, but now she has 2, ok never mind 3, notifications
And so do I, thanks to the tag way upthread :laugh:
Amazing how that happens

I was looking through my old discussions today to reminisce about the shocking level of my delusional woo. I came across this thread and laughed through the whole thing. I miss my woo troll buddies...I'll have to recruit disagree buddies now.5

Just goes to show we were all newbies at one point. 2 -

I kind of think I might have disagree stalker(s) already, amusingly. Only 119 total disagrees, but they're climbing steeply lately (granted, partly because I'm going through an irascibly sarcastic streak, I think). But one is on post giving a link to the standard fluctuations reference over at the physiqonomics site, no other content in the post. Could be a scroll error I guess.
Getting "disagrees" is slightly less amusing than getting "woos", it seems like. Oh, well.
This thread was fun. All the woo is still out there, and now we actually have to write posts with eye-roll emojis and own up to our feelings, I guess. 5 -
I admit to not getting why it is considered "wrong" to disagree with someone about something. It's just a disagreement in the context of a discussion. If an honest one, it would be nice to know why, especially if the counter-argument has not yet made an appearance in the thread.
BUT, I am also completely baffled how some fairly straightforward posts can be, rationally, disagreed with.
Which leads me to the REVELATION that it THEM, not us!
The "whichever" button, just allows some unfortunate people a face saving option so they do not have to go around admitting and saying out loud: "I really hate your guts because once again I'm wrong and you're right!"7 -
@PAV8888 Oh, how nice would it be to have a “guts” option?!1

Can I still add new woo here?
How about !!!Gallon of Water a Day for Two Weeks, GAINED weight !!!2 -

Thank you?1 -
So many of my favourite MFPers in one truly snarky thread! This was just what an ill in bed kat needed.
@PAV8888 I think it's because 'disagree' feels like 'disapprove' or 'don't like' which, as you point out, is not the same thing in the least. Whereas 'woo' was fully ambiguous (which is why it was changed, I believe...).
My partner had a yoga teacher who tried convincing him that our son's autism could be cured by yoga. So many woos there. (His response was something along the lines of 'that's not how autism works' and not going to that class much longer.)4 -
I saw an anti-vax person claim to be a Registered Nurse and told someone to drink organic grape juice to cure a stomach virus before running a 5k.1

Came across a new one today, a double whammy - putting essential oils in your navel because something something paragraphs of nerves and veins and something fetus development and a pathway to everywhere and etc etc. I refused to read it intently.5

I need to figure out how to be more inspiring. I used to have more inspiring than woo's
One thing that will usually do it, I have to acknowledge, is bringing up having had cancer, then optionally adding something vaguely encouraging.
I don't recommend getting cancer, though: It was my worst hobby ever.
So lie, I guess.
@AnnPT77 -- you made me laugh! I, too, have become much more inspiring on here since my colon cancer diagnosis. Btw, I clicked on the "inspiring" tag for your post.3
