    Does an example of this "fighting" exist? ie.. thread link?

    This is the message referred to in the OP, but it's locked now (just in case you hoping to join the fun)

    Just my two cents and it's not really worth a "hoot nickle" (Whatever that is!)

    I'm not sure, but it's different than a plug nickel, and if you don't agree, we can fight about it, or I can continue to make this sentences as long as absolutely possible with the addition of necessary punctuation in order to continue the discourse that is really about nothing at all except my need to keep the conversation going.

    Now I didn't want to be accused of yelling. We can have a civilized disagreement that I created all in my own head from the original posting without resorting to yelling.

    Wow. . get out of the threads for a bit and come back and low and behold hasn't changed. . I personally think if a person is asking a specific question everyone should do their best to stay on topic. . or go find another subject that they are interested in and can comment on accordingly. .

    There is no reason for anyone here to be rude or disruptive. . we are all here for fun, fitness, and support. . Let's all try to keep it positive. . .or if you are having a bad day go talk to a friend or post your own thread about your bad day. . there is no reason to take it out on others. .

    Have a wonderful day ya'll.:flowerforyou:
    I'd like to respectfully disagree and say that I think low and behold has changed. Maybe not by a lot, but there is measurable improvement, and I think we should be more positive about that.

    I see mike was just trying to have a dicussion and the other two went on some semantic tirade.

    "No carb is good! Your body doesn't have to have it!"

    "Well there's no such thing as a truely no carb diet.........."

    Well, if you are going to bring logic into it, that's a whole new ball game. :wink:

    I'm pretty new to the forums. I've been a member for a while, but that was just to snag the ticker, lol.
    In any case, I really haven't seen too much that would cause me to think "wow, what a *****" lol or whatever else.

    I did see someone post about something personal regarding their weightloss and ask others opinions and the first poster said "I don't think anything of it." .... I was surprised, but why would I be? Was it needed? nope, did it help the OP? Ah, no! Was it normal? Yep!

    People on the internet like to type just for the sake of typing, not because it's going to do others good. It's an outlet for many and it all has to be taken for what it is. For what it's worth, I think this site is pretty nice. I also belong to a pregnancy/parenting website and holy **** - watch yourself there! lol

    Well....this went well......hahahaha

    On a serious note, I am fairly new here. If I go to chit-chat/fun, I expect a little mischief. And...I like a little humor and sarcasm. But, I have found a lot of good information here and good friends. It's like any site with "discussion forums", some think they have all the answers and are happy to whip you with them. Happens in chat too.

    But, I'm here with an attitude of "take the best and leave the rest". I don't feel the need to correct every little thing I don't agree with, and I don't feel the need to defend every little thing I post.

    Just my two cents and it's not really worth a "hoot nickle" (Whatever that is!)
    Welcome to MFP. I would pay a lot of hoot nickels for more people to have your attitude. Seriously.

    Thank you.

    Um, yeah, so reading some of this...and quite frankly, my head hurts. I mean, I get it, this is a fitness site.....the forums do contain some really good information...and some not so good info too. LOL We all know that. Don't read the chit chat fun and games board or some of the others if you don't want to subject yourself to something that may be deemed inappropriate.

    Seriously, I don't think the forums are the site...they are a part of it. If you don't want to read, don't. Just continue to go on here, log and do whatever it is you need to do.

    For anyone to say that they would not recommend this site to anyone because of inappropriate content on the forums is just silly....let them decide what is good for them...you are not in charge. LOL

    Okay, so I guess I am in a nit-picky pissy mood but I just got annoyed.

    Ho hum........off to find the pray for the boobies post. :bigsmile:

    I'm not sure I'd agree with that when it is a doctor recommending it. If I were a doctor I probably wouldn't recommend it either as there is a lot of nonsense posted on here as medical fact, by those that have no real medical knowledge. But they google the internet to find a study that they pretend backs up what they say. A lot of people are gullible enough to take that as fact.

    That's probably more what the doctor was talking about than the chit/chat posts. Though I'm sure there are those that find that inappropriate enough to be angry if their doctor recommended it.

    I kind of understand why people are so sarcastic/mean/witchy here in the forums... We're all hungry fat or formerly fat people looking for an outlet other than eating. Emotions and stakes are high! If people need to pray for boobies to get skinny, more power to them I guess? :huh:

    Are you trying to start controversy? Because that is NOT why we are here.

    I rarely have anything even remotely serious to say but here goes.

    This is myfitnesspal
    Not mypray-for-anything-pal (Since that is against the precious rules that we love so dearly.)
    Not mysupport -me-with-some-unhealthy-fad-diet-and-dont say-anything-oppositional-pal. (Dont try to register this its already mine.)

    That said - when you come to the internet and
    .....ask a bunch of complete strangers ANY question
    .....tell a bunch of complete stranger about your STD
    .....invite a bunch of complete strangers into your personal life
    .....discuss your nutting activities with a bunch of complete strangers

    Someone may tell you a 'truth' you dont want to hear.
    You may just be outright wrong.
    Or one of two of them may just be a-holes. (I could potentially fall into this category)

    Enjoy the truth.
