SERIOUSLY? What is going on here? There has been more arguing, name calling, and general snottiness these past few weeks than ever. Witness how many more lock downs you have seen.

You can say, "Don't read it if you don't like it"... But some (most) of the time a topic is posted with and general question ie "How Many Carbs are Low Carb?" or something like that. I am sure a lot of people would like to see other opinions about this. Unfortunately, you tune in, begin reading, and sure enough pretty soon there is a pissing match between someone (a lot of times not even the OP) and it just escalates on ignoring the real question.

I really can't believe all the juvenile middle school behaviour. This is supposed to be a supportive, informative web site, not a place to be spouting whatever to one up someone and have the last word.

That said, Asking for prayers for your new boobs is a BIT OVER THE LINE!!!

    You call it a "pissing match". Others call it "Passionate debate".

    I call it "An exercise in seeing how many times i can head/desk before it breaks".

    Just like a conversation in person, you cannot control what a person's response will be here. The natural course of discussions is that they generally go off-course. Anyone should feel free to ask any questions they want, and know and understand that people will respond how they will respond. Ignore what isn't helpful, and take what is helpful. If someone calls you a name, or responds differently than what you want, so what, get over it.

    I also don't consider it fighting unless there are vulgarities or name calling involved. What's wrong with a healthy , intelligent debate of exchange of ideas. I thought that was the whole point of asking for information or starting a thread - so you could get and exchange information - you don't have to like it, believe it or take it - that's always optional.
  • well this post is about as useless as the "pissing matches"

    It's the nature of asking complete strangers advice who you cannot look in the eye. The anonymity of the internet bolsters confidence in most people, which can be both good and bad. Some people just like to stir up controversy, others will speak their minds knowing they CAN b/c no one knows them. I agree that it can get overly snarky sometimes, but I promise you (OP) that lecturing those people only makes it worse. Just wait.....this thread has no where to go but downhill.

  • Please pray for my penis. It wants sex and it can't get it because I'm a gargoyle, and chicks don't like gargoyles.
