    I thought it was funny too. Don't let it get to you. You put your disclaimer on your profile. I am sure a lot of people just didn't understand that you were joking.

    Thanks, but now only my friends get to see my profile. The disclaimer didn't work anyway. :grumble:

    Honestly, I think you like to dish it out but you can't take it. When you post something that provokes other members, what do you expect? Go cry somewhere else. I'd prefer this place not turn out like a youtube comment page.

    Thank you for your opinion.

    I think the real question here is why IS LL Cool J your profile picture?

    Because it inspires me to work harder on my abs.

    Um...just so you know, your abs are currently completely lickable the way they are :flowerforyou:

    I missed most of the drama and only caught it after it was locked, but i knew it was a joke. People get WAY to defensive on the internet and take things way to personally. Which is why there are such things as trolls. It's kinda sad, but often why I stay out of most posts unless I'm looking for a recipe or its a game...I don't have time to deal with other peoples drama and stupid ways of thinking...which is why i don't make/keep friends easily in real life....also why i don't have "online" friends.

    No need to explain yourself, who are they to criticise you.

    I find it quite funnny how people on THIS forum specifically, can be so negative and mean to people, in a place where people ultimately come so that they can feel comfortable around like minded people.

    Everyone in the world just needs to... be.

    I'm sorry you were treated that way. I've seen threads where the OP asked a question about the 1200 calorie limit and people went to her profile and saw that she was pregnant and reamed her *kitten* for trying to restrict calories while pregnant. That made me so mad. She never said she was dieting and it wasn't anyone's business if she was restricting calories while pregnant. She just asked a question. Needless to say, if it makes you feel better, I read your profile a long time ago and knew you weren't LL Cool J. I think he is a great inspiration for any guy. Most definitely, LL has a superb male body to model yourself after.

    I need to go get ready for basketball. Yes, white men can jump! :laugh:

    Hopefully this thread won't be locked when I get home.

    Ignore the crybabies.....
    Nothing will ever work out for such a gloomy lot.

    The glass is always half empty for those who personalize everything.

    Pure genius.

    Yes, there is definitely a lot of haters on here if you have a different opinion from what is popular.

    @ caljur

    Sorry...your post was rather long and I didn't want to bog down the thread by requoting it.

    I truly think MFPAddict's original post was a joke that got out of hand...and let's face it; it's not the first time that's happened with a thread & I'm sure it won't be the last. That said, I really don't think you needed to personally attack him like you did.

    @caljur - Sarcasm is a popular theme for threads around here. You haven't been using the site long, but a lot of people use the forum just to entertain themselves. MFPAddict has been here a long time, and I have never found him to be offensive or disrespectful to ladies. To the best of my knowledge, he has never misled anyone to believe that he is LL Cool J. He is inspired by LL Cool J and that is commonly understood for most other people on the site. While I realize that you felt you were stepping up in defense of women out of your tremendous sense of respect for them, I really think you misunderstood MFPAddict's intentions. That being the case, I felt that your original post in the other thread was highly inappropriate, abusive, and in general, unnecessary. Which is likely to be why the thread got locked because the site does not allow that type of behavior.

    Lately this site has been becoming as ridiculous as Facebook with the haters and that is why I went here with my fitness stuff it really sucks!
    I totally agree MPF needs a serious housecleaning of all the scum bag rude people it's getting out of control.

    I feel sorry for people who can't sense the humor in things. As far as "nasty", mean obnoxious people-that's why I left Runner's World forum. So far I have not been attacked on this forum, seems friendly.

    You know what frosts my mini-wheats? When someone says they have a right to their opinion, then blasts someone else for posting their contrary opinion.

    Everyone has a right to say what they want (within the TOS of this site), and everyone else has the same right to disagree.

    No lie!!

    geeze .. we are so hard on ourselves so much of the time. This should be a place to chill out and laugh and repair our bodies and brains before we go out and beat ourselves up again.
    I'll be your friend in a heatbeat. I thought the whole thread was funny!!
