ridgerunner 115 Posted June 13, 2016 I have rant. Why are there so many mean people on a site called bariatric pal? to nice people! Sent from my SM-G930T1 using the BariatricPal App Yes, it's shocking! But don't call anyone here "mean." It's against the rules. My interpetation of the rules is not that we should not call others "mean" but that we be more thoughtful in our responses and strive to not BE mean I have rant.

CHM 1,009 Posted June 13, 2016 I believe this app is called bariatric pal right! Not bariatric B.... A little kindness can go a long way just saying not that hard to be nice & informative at the same time You've stumbled upon a rant thread in a rant forum. This is hardly the place to be singling anyone out for their choice of words. The whole point here is to vent your frustrations, not to watch your tone. Just sayin'...

Sorry you don't agree Sent from my SM-G930T1 using the BariatricPal App You seem to have missed that I did not comment on your rant in any way. You are entitled to vent your frustrations here like everyone else. What I was commenting on was your judgement of others for doing the same. On a side note: It seems that in my original post I have inadvertently credited @@KristenLe with stating something that was actually said by Syl 153, and I don't know how to fix it. Sorry!

Syl 153 35 Posted June 13, 2016 Why are the NBA Finals and the NHL Finals at the same time? Both seasons are super long, couldn't they arrange them over different weeks? Why I'm at it, why are the NBA playoffs (not finals) only on cable and not regular TV? At least the finals are on a non-cable station (and start today, Go Warriors!). Lastly, why did ESPN keep using our ex-coach (who we fired) to be the game announcer so he could make digs at us? Did I say go Warriors?!!! WARRIORS!!! In it to win it strength in numbers.

KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 14, 2016 "@@Syl 153" Your constant posts are rude and disrespectful - so please take your own advice! I am most often kind, caring and helpful on this forum until people like you piss me off completely. You are rambling and not providing value to anyone. I didn't say anything until about the 20th post from you that was just trying to stir the pot and was completely annoying. Please find another forum to troll.

jintycb 721 Posted June 14, 2016 Just a quick aside for those reading this thread. Has any one noticed the similarities of the posts from @@Syl 153 and those of @@Ele marie a couple of weeks ago. If you are not the same person then I strongly suggest you personal message each other and hook up. That way you could have your own bonkers discussions, both talking complete balderdash and b€$¥¥€$%s without disturbing the people who use this site like grown ups. You each might also be able to decipher your meanings from the garbled grammar and mis-spellings that the normal reader has the misfortune to wade through until they realise that you are just a troll, trolls or whatever.
