I love the "hot button topics" on web forums.

in Chit-Chat
I've not been on this forum that long, but I can already see "Should exercise calories be eaten back" is one of those topics that will get any thread twisted into a tailspin.

I belong to both an automotive forum and a motorcycle forum... Want to get those guys riled up? Ask them "What's the best motor oil" or "Should I use synthetic or fossil oil".

Pet forums is usually what type of food is best, or how much exercise does "X" breed need.

Sometimes I read them for pure entertainment.

    Yes, eating your calories back is a biggie. Then we have....

    - starvation mode
    - muscle weighs more than fat
    - sabotage
    - "toning" up
    - 1200 calories

    I post on a figure skating forum. There's not a single trigger that gets anyone riled up. Maybe we're too tired from practice...

    On pet forums things like "which dog breed is best" always get fun, too!

    I'm partial to the fad diet threads here.

    to tell ya the truth i only open up the fun/sarcastic threads now. i stay off the serious stuff. I have enough drama in my life. Unless of course I'm really bored, then I'll pop up and usually say something totally off topic and/or sarcastic, then somebodies feelings get hurt and everybody starts crying.

    Honestly, I think it's rude to make fun of (or mock) people who are genuinely inquiring about losing weight. So what if it's asked a million times, why does it bother you? They're here to obviously get serious answers. If everyone had to "google" information, then what is the point of this forum? Sorry, just really grinds my gears (lol) to see that almost every post is flaming weight loss noobs.

    ETA: not directed at anyone specific- just sick of seeing threads that are mocking noobs. you asked that question once too, you know?
