Honestly I think alot of the fighting on here stems from self-esteem. People trying to bring others down to make themselves feel better. Alot of the people who attack others have admitted to being bullied and/or having self esteem problems with themselves. On a site where we're all here to improve our bodies that can be expected but some take it too far. I remind myself that there's horrible people in real life and there's going to be horrible people on here too.
Also I agree with you, you should def do some info searching before joining. And as you go along you'll pick up more info and become a booby expert after a while.
Emily,
You are right on concerning your perception of people being mean to others. I used to think that sort of behavior was limited to middle school but soon found that there are an awful lot of people well into their 40s, 50s, and 60s who still behave like spoiled and mean children.
BTW, I want to respond to the PM you sent me but your mailbox is full. I appreciated you reaching out!
Have a great day!
Misty
