If you post up your weakness and let's say you're a routine coke user and then you make disparaging remarks about someones girlfriend that was high and had sex with another woman's husband while she and her boyfriend (another member here) were at a party........ you have also put yourself out there for ridicule.

If your post up pictures of yourself, your family, friends or significant others and you don't like what is being said - you own that mistake - don't want negative feedback don't ask for feedback.

Let's be real, not everyone is going to blow sunshine where it doesn't belong, you will run into people that will tell you what they think just because you asked and they're not going to sticky sweet because they are as needy for positive attention as you.

Unless you're from the south where people are sweet to your face no matter how they feel about you.

I don't think that being real about your life is being needy for positive attention. REally, what is the point speaking to people and conversing if we are not being real? If you don't share anything about yourself, is there really any intimacy? I might as well just blabber jibberish if nothing I say is true life.

Plus, has anyone lost sight that this is a FITNESS site. Where would we be if people can't be real about where they are in their progress and post up progress photos, etc.

I've been a mod on a different site (not a fitness site) and I can say that we tolerated WAY less BS from our members than here. I'm not saying that it is good or bad, but I can say that I think the rules here are very, very reasonable.

I was not speaking of progress photos on other parts of this board, I was only refering to the non fitness photos that are posted chat board as the chat board is the only thing being dicussed as far as change.

If you choose to share something about yourself you made that choice to make it public on a public internet forum, that's not intimacy and if someone that shares about themselves doesn't like what is being said in response then they need to learn what they can handle being in public view and what they can not.

What people should be upset about is when they do diccuss something in an intimate setting and what they have said in a private manner becomes a "PM circuit" laughoff and the person sharing doesn't realize that everyone knows something they didn't intend on sharing with few hundred people.

There's of course a handfull of members that only come here to mock people whenever possible because they get off on it and that's another story.

I didnt realize that was going on.

I think this sums up what we have in mind. We are going to quickly identify these people and ban them. That simple.

We can deal with misunderstandings or disagreements between members when they arise. Issues will always arise in any social group.

What we won't tolerate is people who come here looking to fuck with others for kicks.

If you share personal information or you post a thought that contradicts a point you are attempting to make in a discourse, it should be fair to bring that point up to prove hypocrisy. It can't be called a personal attack in that case.

Agreed!!

Well, Bino, dear. The fact that some members want to be able to share their lives and discuss things like adults and post pictures of their lives without some asshole mocking their family I think is a normal thing.

For this thread, I think you need a time out. I'm not a mod, but I can black you out.

Grow the fuck up, already.

you self righteous, feebled brained twit this has nothing to do with you.
get off my nuts...lol about being an adult then bombing up.
