What is with the negativity on these community threads? I gave my opinion about something then I went back and read through some of the conversation and wow! People are crazy and negative on there!

I thought this site was to encourage people! Not argue and post negative comments! Yes I understand giving your own opinion but jeeze others have opinions too and its okay for them to share them as well! Open-mindedness people! No one has to argue!

A lot of people are in a fragile state on here, struggling to make changes and one of those negative comments could set them off and to the kitchen they go to eat a box of cookies.

Sorry just a little vent! :D

    I completely agree. Some people on here need to lighten up about some stuff and stop posting rude, snide, nasty remarks!

    SO true.... it's the one thing about this site that drives me bonkers... so many opinions, options etc...which is great... but the holier then thou attitudes need to be flushed down the loo! I hate to think what it does to some of the very fragile newcomers especially who it took a LOT of guts to be vulnerable enough to ask a question etc and then get jumped all over...

    agreed, if you can't say something nice or helpful with TACT don't say anything at all!

    It's a bit scary - we want to encourage and be encouraged, and learn how to deal with food and exercise and learn new good lifelong habits - we all of us can learn all the time, even those who think they know everything - there is always another side or another way - and really when it comes down to it, it is what works for the individual. I know I posted on one site when people were sounding off about what people enter as exercise - I said that this is an individual battle, we are not competing against each other! I also said that some people are here for the "fit" but some of us here here because of "fat".

    You should never say on a forum what you couldn't say to a person's face. The anonymity of the internet plays a part in the growth of general rudeness I believe.

    :flowerforyou: Let's all play nice :laugh:

    Couldn't agree with you more. I've posted threads where people refer me to doing my own research online before I ask stupid questions. Clearly we post things because we want answers, not to be ridiculed for asking them. It's easier for people to act like that on forums because they can hide behind the computer. We all have opinions, our answers may not always be correct, but there's a nice way to let someone know...just sayin!

    :D

    It takes a lot of courage and will power to look inward and say “I need to change”
    Everyone give yourself a well-done..
