You people do realize
that this site is mostly anonymous, created to share and help, and like it or not, isn't something to get so worked up over.
Let's examine a few facts.
The VAST majority of you don't use real names, that's a way for you to remain anonymous as you'd like
You have HUNDREDS of friends here, that YOU'LL NEVER ACTUALLY MEET, there's probably exceptions, but for the most part it's true
People use threads and status updates to blow off steam or vent in a non desctructive manner. For the most part, I've seen nice people with only a few dip **** exceptions. Any one that takes time to criticize even in the smallest way needs a hobby.
So, what can make this experience better for you so that you may avoid the virtual pepto or malox..all good lists come in threes and here they are
People really aren't that interested in all your drama as they have lives filled with it as well. Stop being offended
If you see something you don't like, MOVE ON. Wow, that was a hard one,even on the periphery I've seen people b1tch about this comment and that thread. It's simply not that big a deal, move along and be happy.
Last, use the site for what it's intended if you have issues with the social side of it. This place has great tools, which is why most people come here (I happened to stay for the unexpected Bidirectional support of the people here).
Now before you lose any sleep over this thread, go ahead and close it, kiss your cat, dog, SO, or favorite stuffed animal goodnight and remember this is a self help website, not high school.

Oh now you're bringing race into It! Racist!!!!!! Wait, I'm neither a kettle or a pot. Never mind.
Wasn't really a complaint per se, but I can see how it could be perceived as such. It was more like an observation of my short two weeks here. IN WHICH I'VE LOST WEIGHT largely due to the motivation received from them good MFPLayers.0 -
