Stop bashing!

Amen! What's the real point here...to blather on about what we like to see in other people, or to achieve our fitness goals, WHATEVER they might be? I kinda thought I joined myfitnesspal, not myunsolicitedopinionpal.

*snort* awesomeness!!!

Are you bashing the bashers? Does it feel a little weird?

I'm not bashing anybody. I'm stating a fact.

It's called bashing, and yes you just did it. You state that you don't like when people are mean to other people so you yell at the mean people. Really doesn't make you any different than the mean people, you just chose a different topic to try to bash on. I agree that it happens and maybe shouldn't but that shouldn't change how you get healthy.

I'm not "yelling" at anyone. I'm stating my opinion. Last time I checked, stating an opinion and bashing were two different things. Also, take note of how I said the action was disgusting, not the people doing it. Case closed.

He had a point. ANYONE'S opinion can be taken the wrong way. Even someone who wants bashing stopped by bashing those that state their opinion on their preferences. How you chose to take a comment, opinion, or whatnot is completely up to how you chose to take that persons response.

Ive never seen any bashing going on and Ive been on this site for a few years. Maybe I missed it (thank goodness) or it was a rare random thing.

Pretty sad if so.

Ditto. I really don't think there's a bashing problem here. I rarely see someone being slammed for being skinny or fat. Most of the "bashing" I see is when someone posts something that's BS or recommends something that's unhealthy or dangerous (or for being a Beachbody coach lol). They should be bashed. Some people are more outspoken than others and some have different ways of getting their point across....just like in the face to face world. There's no problem here....move on.

There's whole threads dedicated to slamming people because of their weight or body type. I posted a link on my wall to one this morning. It made me feel bad.

Wow. Didn't see that one. I guess I'm due for a bashing! :happy:

I agree with you here!!!! Nobody has the right to judge a person's body or how they live. The ones who judge will have opinions about other people...keep it to yourself. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. I came across 2 threads that were bashing overweight people and I think it's sad people will actually make themselves look ignorant by saying hateful things outloud like that.

I have ZERO tollerence for these things:

1.lazy-ness...no excersize- blames the world
2. excuses..." my family, my work, the holidays....vacation...yadi yadda
3. binge-eating constantly
4. not logging-anything at all
5.giving up without even trying
6. drinking/party-ing excessivly
7. trying to date me/ stupid messages
8. bad advice
9. stupidity...".i dont know what im doing wrong"
10. rudeness/ cursing

I came here to lose weight, and strugle like millions of other people, and we are all here for support, guidence and suggestion on getting fit, excersizing and eating habits. We want to be held accountable and need real support. not a bunch of binge eating lazy "tomorrow is another day.." every other day- crap. So with that said, being rude and disagreeing are totally seperate, and calling you out on your bull is not bashing. Its an opinion and solicited advice when you post.

HOWEVER: making fun of how someone looks, weighs, belittling and name calling- or whatever the case- like that -is not cool at all.

I see threads on here all the time with people bashing others for looking a certain way.
Please, just stop. It's disgusting.
We are all here for the same reason. To lose weight and get fit, obviously.
Stop bashing people for being too big/too little and focus on YOUR body and YOUR goals. Not everyone else's.

Thank you! I get sick of all the fat and skinny bashing around here. Just chill out and focus on your own self. Geeze. :P

Well I don't come to the boards too often because of going on some of the boards to see bashing of others. We came here to support one another. I was even on a board where someone was bashing in my opinion what another person was eating, and her snacks were basically fruit with maybe a small chocolate candy. I was like wow, this is what makes people leave. I've seen bashing happen, and I go to message/friend the person. But it is too late as the person has deleted their account!! It is truly sad!! We are all here to support one another not to bash others. Thankfully on the profile pages it is nothing, but support so that is where I try to stay. The person who started this post I totally agree!!
