Anyone else notice the increase in CC members who are kind of ..'jerks'?

What happened to the really nice supportive people who didn't make fun of others? I have been reading more and more posts where certain Calorie Count members spend more time making fun of other members comments, questions, or concerns rather than being helpful and supportive. Really what is the point in even adding an question, opinion or statement when it's going to be cut down by some negative person. Anyone else notice this fast growing trend? It really upsets me in a way that we are supposed to be helping one another whether it be through sharing the things that we have learned or by simply showing some support. 

So please next time you think of cutting someone down or making a 'joke' at there expense think about how you would feel if someone did that to you.

Thanks for reading my little 'rant'

Have a fabulous evening : )

yeah, weight lifters are mean.  it's the 'roids.

 Hemmeroids would make me mean too.

get out of my brain split

whoops i didn't mean anything like implying steroids.. I mean I lift too it just seems like in the posts people are a bit more hostile. 

you seem very sensitive, kmw.  maybe the fitness forum is not for you?  (we're kidding about the steroids.  welcome to the lounge )

You may have noticed that there are very few threads on the fitness forum that don't discuss the benefits of weight lifting.  There is a reason for that.

because weight lifters are overbearing jerks?

 Because weight lifters are the Jehovah's Witnesses of CC.

I prefer: because we haven't invented a believable muscle-suit.

I'm not 'very sensitive' I simply wanted to make sure that in my post about not being a 'jerk'  I wasn't doing just that by implying anything incorrectly of other people.  

We're all jerks in certain situations.

Some of us more than others.

Absurd.  There are no jerks on the internet.
