What gets on your nerves the most about the boards?

1. Thin bashing
2. Bad spelling but I wouldn't correct anyone.
3. All the TOM threads
4. Myths being spread.

I am most annoyed by threads like this one. It's just like any other repetitive topic, plus it almost always devolves into an argument.

Perhaps they do annoy you, but if they annoy you....then why would you bother wasting time to reply to them? Just sayin'

Everyone is entitled to an opinion

if I want to eat McDonalds three times a day one day, I don't think it's your place to tell me what is and isn't healthy. Maybe I didn't have enough money to buy anything more than a hamburger on the dollar menu. Maybe I forgot my lunch at home and there is no where else to get food in the amount of time I have to get food. Maybe I just wanted a dang hamburger!

Sometimes I think we should get off our high horses about what's healthy and what's not. I know we are all excited about eating right and knowing all this knew information and we want to share it, but belittling others and making it seem as if you know best is not the best way to do it.

I wholeheartedly agree. I don't go on the boards much on here except for a couple ones in a group I am in, because what I have seen of the boards I don't like. The attitudes and the rude comments just aren't my kind of thing. I read a thread last week where a girl was having trouble finding supportive and less superficial friends on here and most of the responses blamed her and her attitude for not being able to find what she wanted. I think MFP should be more of a supportive place than that.

these threads allow overweight nonactive people to say they were on a fitness site and did something...

If there is someone out there that is eating 500 cal a day, informing them (in a polite way) that it's unhealthy is advisable



And if I want to eat McDonalds three times a day one day, I don't think it's your place to tell me what is and isn't healthy.

So I should tell you when you eat an unhealthy low amount of calories, but should not tell you when you eat a high amount of unhealthy calories.
Got it.

Ouch! :glasses:

What gets on my nerves and peeves me?

A lot of the scandalous women on here (and some men too) that let all their garbage out on the discussion boards. Like for instance one person made a reference to their vibrator. It's just trashy and nasty. It makes you look skanky and you just want attention. Also the ranking system blah whatever this is not Fubar (It actually has a ranking system), Facebook, Plentyoffish, eHarmony, Myspace, Zoosk or any other site like that it is a fitness website not 1-800 find me a date, or screw for the night....Carry on now....:flowerforyou:

Maybe it's because I have been overweight all my life and so I am a little sensitive, but I have noticed troll or would be troll posts and I don't really think this is the place for that...I understand people need to lighten up and let loose, but I sometimes can't tell if people are being rude just to be rude or if they are just being sarcastic or what...makes me really think about what I might post IF I post.....and I am one of those newbies you are speaking of, but I haven't asked a bunch of questions...YET!

haha i feel the same way dont ask questions cuz when i do people 99% of the time say something rude or completely ignore the question and tell me about something that has nothing to do with my question lol i hardly ever actually get an answer for most of my questions lol

:glasses: :glasses:

Because of most of the comments and reactions stated above is why I haven't felt comfortable accepting "friends" or making my info public. Why would I? To be slammed by complete strangers.

I'm not new to diet and exercise. I am new to MFP. I've been skinny all my life until I had my second child and she was diagnosed with several rare diseases (1 life threatening) and now just last month has been diagnosed with autism. I emotionally ate and have been consumed by her care and health. I put off taking care of myself to make sure she's still alive these 19 months she's been on earth. 2012 is my year. I'm finally at a place where I can help her with her daily battles and help myself with mine.

I've noticed the condescending remarks and sarcasim, they must truly be miserable in their own lives....

Sensitive people need to evacuate the internet.

Hahahahahaha so very true

When things are posted in the wrong message board. :devil:

Oh, and I say, nomnomnomnom...It's kinda a toddler mama thing. :laugh:

I say it when I feed my cat xD

Well, I'll have you know the 5-letter B word IS actually used in medical terms of breeding dogs...so I disapprove of your sensorship MFP :P

The biggest thing that gets on my nerves is the negative comments. I dont understand why people feel the need to be so mean when this site is here to help and motivate.
