upsetting thread.....

Most of the threads on here are very supportive; so just ignore what upsets you.

One of the problems is that some posters have a posting history which makes the way in which people respond to them seem totally out of order to those who have not come across them before. For example ( and I am NOT referring to the thread you talked about), there are people who come on and deliberately ask questions which they know will set off arguments; people who come on and say things that vets know are at complete variance with their previous statements (i.e. are lies!).

Just ignore them. Drawing attention to them actually feeds the drama; I for one went back to look at the post when I read yours! Better to let it be forgotten and no longer read.

Hijack!

LOL, Ok.  So how 'bout we end THIS post now???? 

I have been posting for the past three months and for the most part I find OH people to be very supportive and a wealth of information.  Some times I see snippy little comments going back and forth, however, that is more the exception to the rule.  I think it is unfortunate, however, to each their own if they want to go back and forth with the bickering.  When I see that  the direction of a post is very negative, I just move down to view or post on the next one.  Also, if the post was really out of line then you should report it. 

Good luck with your weight loss journey .............. 

thanks I didnt realize you can block someone, my bad....and I am going to keep all the good and let the rest alone.  sorry if I upset someone.  Maria

I don't know anything about you.. You seem new to the site, seem new to the internet, frankly just based on this thread alone.

I've been around awhile.  I know.. I look young (kidding) in my avatar, but I was around long before pictures were even a staple on the net.  There are a few things you should know about message boards..

1) There are a great many idiots in the world.  Many of them seem to congregate on the web.  Hey, look, many people think I am one of them.

2) These idiots cannot keep their fingers to themselves and will continue to post assinine bull****  It will annoy you.  Do not, do not, do not let it upset you.  I say this as a lesson I should learn for myself.  

3) While there are some that are much like they are in real life (like me.. this is me IRL as well), many many many are more brash and open online behind an annoymous persona, where they can curse and toss out words that they normally would not.  If this is her IRL, then feel sorry for her.

4) This is the internet -- if it upsets you so, then turn it off.  If a post you create upsets others, they have the same option.  I don't say you SHOULD go out of your way to **** people off, but be yourself.


You were concerned.  Don't be sorry for it.  I'd block this poster if she bothered you this much.  I'd also hit the "report" button under her posts that bother you and ask OH to remove the post to R&R.  I promise you that once it gets moved to that particular forum, we will take care of her for you.

Take care, and hope your journey is successful.

OH NO...NOT THE REPORT BUTTON...IM SOO SCARED...NOT!!

YOU DO KNOW I CAN JUST MAKE ANOTHER ONE, BY CHANGING THE NAME, DATE. AND EVERYTHING ELSE RIGHT?!?...GO AHEAD REPORT ME..I DONT GIVE A ****!.. AND MARIA, U EMAIL ME SAYING THAT ITS NOT "NICE" OF THEM TO SLASH AT ME...BUT INSTED YOU HAD TO MAKE A POST ABOUT IT, TO START UP MORE DRAMA... HAHA UMM WOW!!!..

And what did the OP on this thread do to deserve this taunting? Really? She seems a very sweet and caring person, who worries that she might be trounced if she asks a question, and you go and trounce her. How sweet! 

You my dear have taken first place. You deserve a medal: 

For someone who doesn't "have time to sit on the computer" -- you sure have enough time to be a royal ***** on one.

This newbie didn't deserve your bashing.

Shouldn't you go learn how basic English skills?  I'd recommend the following skill sets:

- the differences between "to" and "too"
- how to spell "stupid"
- the differences between "your" and "you're"


Once you've mastered these difficult concepts, we'll work on more difficult concepts, such as adding 1+1.

AAANNNNDDDDDD She's back!!!!!!!!!!  (Apparently that was the whole point of this post, right?)
