MFP Meanies :(
Replies

First of all you kind of opened yourself up with a question that is fairly common sense. Do you go to work with your period? is it safe? Do you operate a motor vehicle on your period? Is it safe? if you answered yes to either of those questions I am pretty sure you can answer your other questions.
Second, making this post is kind of... ridiculous.. so some people made fun of you, or made light of your post.. its the internet, it happens move on, making a thread about MFP meanies makes me feel like I am back in elementry school... and like you are taunting the kid that made fun of you but when the teacher catches you.. it falls on the kid because the kid that you were taunting does something and is caught... all you are going to do is create a monster one of which I am sure the Mods are going to come through and give warnings and strikes to... and you will get nothing because... we were all "mean" to you.0 -
Saw your question and, as I saw lots of persons gave very good answers, I did not feel the need to give my opinion. The only thing I would have said was that people are jerks sometimes. But as I had nothing nice to say ... You should friend all the clever persons who answered you right. I do not post a lot. I prefer to interact with my friends who are very nice and supportive. Now, if I have a question or something, I just use my homepage, or tumblr, or google. Actually, I just go on the forum when a topic that appears in the right side of my homepage seems interesting. Just invite good persons and stick with them.
This being said. Good luck and hard work on your journey here !
HAAHAHAHAHAHA!!
This is my reaction to most of these posts.
Especially the ones claiming people are jealous. We're not in elementary school and mom is not telling you that to make you feel better. People are not just "meanies" because they're jealous. A lot of times it's because people lack common sense.0 -
The one good thing about having a myriad of replies is that it is easy to weed through and, by looking at their responses, choose people to send friend requests to. If you are someone that needs gentle pats on the back, look for those answers and send those people a friend request. If wit and sarcasm make you laugh and you need that humor to get through a rough day, add those people.
It takes all kinds. Take from this what you need, add some friends from those that are helpful for you, and you'll have a positive experience.0 -

I think you're both ridiculous. It doesn't hurt to exercise a little kindness. If you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything at all. There's no reason to laugh at someone's question. That's just rude.0 -
Insecure. They try to laugh at you as a show of superiority as in "ha you're an idiot, I've been doing this longer and am therefore better".
Somewhere, someone made them feel the way they are making you feel. The people who are in the best shape, in my experience are the most helpful. The intermediate mediocre losers are the ones being jerks.
....Says the one insulting people.
We are all hypocrites. Even you.0 -

*kitten*. They're everywhere. And they are worse online because they can hide behind their computer screen. Just ignore and be glad that you aren't as miserable as they are deep down. It must really really suck to be a mean *kitten*. I would hate to walk around that way.
Keep up the good work!

I got most of my friend from being an *kitten*. Just saying.
True story...and hookers and blow...but mostly the assholeness
Don't forget my amazing taco.
Oh yes, and the taco...it was Yummy.0 -

I am quite ridiculous but seriously.. I never responded to the original post because I didnt see it until today and honestly I don't care.. BUT asking a question about saftey and exercise while on your period is stupid.. I am sorry it is.. do you wake up in the morning and get out of bed... yes.. do you walk to your car?? yes.. do you walk around shoping? Yes.. can you go for a 30 minute walk? YES... Exercise does NOT have to be strenuous.. I suffer from debilitating cramps when I have my period.. you know what I was told by my Dr???? GET UP AND WALK...
So if pointing out the obvious makes me rude so be it.. if I get a strike.. for being rude fine.. but seriously.. stupidity is dangerous.. and so are those that sympathize with the stupid.0 -
yea been there but just ignore the rude people they r just insecure and looking for some attention. plus common were all on a about 1200 calorie diet were gonna all be a wee bit cranky lol0

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: and you just made my day!
I just love this picture. It makes me laugh every time.0 -
I didn't read any of the replies.
That being said...
There are certain things that should be common knowledge when one begins getting healthy-
Drink water
Eat nutritious foods
Exercise regularly
If you are asking questions that go against these principles, then you can expect some backlash.
Personally, I try to be nice - or at least mostly nice - when I answer questions, but you need to realize that these are public forums and people are going to answer the way they want to answer - and some things have been asked SO many times, that people get tired of sugar coating it and just lay it all out.
Like anything else in life, it is up to you, not the person talking to you, how you take what they say. You can shut your brain off against their advice, you can accept it wholeheartedly, or you can do the wise thing and listen to what they have to say, pull out the good stuff, and ignore the crap.
Just my $0.020 -
I probably shouldn't have clicked into this one but I will say that sometimes MFP reminds me of high school where everyone is trying SO hard to be cool and be accepted. Just ignore it.
The majority of people here are genuinely here to help and encourage. Focus on those people and goodbye and good riddance to the others.0 -

Well I think you are overly sensitive. Most people try and post funny comments and others take them as being rude. There is nothing wrong with a little comedy.0 -
SOme people are just bored and need a ego boost. Shrug them off and stay on here!!! This website is awesome and many of us have the same weightloss issues!!! Stay positive!!!!0

I imagine a kindergartener standing in the corner, arms crossed, stomping their feet. Goodness. Grow up!0 -
I see many people saying that the "meanies" or "bullies" are insecure, miserable deep down, have nothing better to do, jealous, etc...isn't that "bullying" too? If I'm mean, it's ok to say those things about me because, well, I'm mean and I have it coming to me? So, it's ok to make up assumptions about a person and talk down about them if they were mean first? Is that the message I'm getting here?
At least I admit that I'm mean. And admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Or the first step to finding like-minded people to be your friends. Or whatever.0 -

But instead of parents to tattle to, there are Mods.0 -

That is how we fell in love.0 -
There will always be smart *kitten*, trolling, and bullies in public forums online. It's just easier for them to get away with acting like that online, for obvious reasons. Just gotta learn to ignore those who are being blatantly rude and try to filter out the good people who are truly there to help you!
Best of luck to you, MFP is a great tool!0 -
