You people do realize

I am in agreeance with you. I think I shall give you kudos.

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.

Wait, aren't you making a post to complain about what people post... complaining about... what other people post?

Seriously though, it's the internet. People are going to be jerks because they can.

That's too many levels. You lost me at the first pause "...". Which brings me to this: why can't people use punctuation correctly. (totally kidding)

Yeah I got confused too. You got the message though, right? Pot? Kettle?

well said sir

YOU PEOPLE???? What do you mean "you people"?!!

I tried to post this in a thread a few minute ago. When I clicked POST REPLY, it said the thread was closed. What a waste of time, but it seems to mimmick what the OP was saying. Cheers to you!

Wow. It seems like everyone in this community is different and get affected by things differently. Who knew?!

You aren't going to change the people who upset you when you complain about the way they do things on here, the internet of all places. All it does is create greater divisions in the community;

"That guy is such a prude!"
or
"She's just a religious nut!" (I've been guilty of coming to that conclusion recently)
or
"She gets attention because she has her ta-tas out in her profile pic"

We all make judgements on people based on these tiny tidbits of info we dish out to each other. Instead of every thread turning into a Us vs Them thing, just post what you want in threads that really interest you and align with your morals. And realise that you will be judged as harshly as you judge others. OP, you can't make a big rant like that and not expect people to bite back, especially when you have made comments the same as those you are ranting about. Not often, that's fair, but what makes a decent amount of flirty/dirty/pun comments to you is completely different to the next person.

Maybe some of these people are lonely and find the people who respond to them makes them feel better that they are getting attention when they can't garner it in the real world. Some of the others, I'd think, are just out to have a laugh and say things they might not be able to in a normal situation.

Is it so hard to scroll the mouse wheel down a few more clicks to get past HornyGuy69's repeated sexual innuendo? Just ignore the users that you don't like and move on. If there is a HornyGuy69 user on here and he's see your post, he isn't going to change. That's HornyGuy69s' thing. Your thing is different as is mine. Also, if sexual inuendo and flirting ain't your thing then don't click on MFP After Dark or Who Wants To Talk Dirty or FMP Crush topics. What do you expect to find in there?

To be clear, I have no issue with you, Darkrider. This rant within a rant thread has just found a home here. I've just noticed that in the few weeks I've been on here I've noticed a really big gap (don't be gross) between users here that is just causing this stupid back and forth (which I can't enough of) of people trying to be the person with better morals. We all have the choice to not click on what we know won't interest us, or read posts by users who have repeatedly resorted to sexual inuendo... I don't even know if this post makes sense so if you don't like what I write, next time you see my profile pic scroll down a little further and be spared the torment!

This is the internet and you have to accept that you are not going to like everything you see.

I moderate several large email groups and I know how unruly things can get, especially when people have the cloak of anonymity. Given that MFP is pretty much anonymous, I'm always in awe at how civilized, helpful and supportive (with the occasional exception) the MFP community consistently is. It's really a beautiful thing.

...this site is mostly anonymous...

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...

What? That's just despicable!
