Why are some postop wls people so rude?

I have been on this site for like a week or so and OMG the rudeness of some of the postop WLS people surprises the heck out of me. I asked a simple question in the main forum and I get my head taken off. I get told to google it or to do my own research which i have and I do believe i said that but I was a bit confused about some of the wording. I wont name names but this person and a few of her buddies just tore into me when I responded with "Please no need to get hostile, it was only a question." I took the post down because it was causing issues. I just want to know why these people feel the need to be so rude when some others are just beginning their journey or are part way there in their journey. I am so tempted to just close my account and be done with it. I have basically been doing this on my own with some support from others and of course my overly confused hubby, it would be nice to get some acceptance for once. I know i should have a thick skin but dang it is ridiculous. SOrry for the rant, was just in a pizzy mood I guess.

Hi,

I can't apologize for everyone but I am sorry you met with hostility.  Maybe they all had PMS.  Hard to say.  Please don't leave.  Not all of us are a pain in the ars.  If you want, you can message me and I will try my best to answer your question.

I AM SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU. I HAVEN'T BEEN ON HERE LONG. BUT THERE ALWAYS A FEW BAD APPLES. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THE ONLY STUPID QUESTION IS THE ONE UNASKED. IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW. AND SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.

WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER NOT RIP EACH OTHER APART.

WITH LOVE AND SUPPORT

I think I will just stay over here now. I got a "polite" message from someone telling me I had NO idea what I was talking about when someone asked the signs of gallbladder disease. LMAO I think I would know since mine was turning GREEN when they took it out. LOL. SOme people just need a serious reality check but I am not going to give it to them because I am bigger than that.

Yea, too many folks play "doctor".  That is not support.  Anyway, hang around here for awhile.  I think we won't bite lol. 

And I figured I will stay in this forum for a bit until I actually have the surgery and then can answer questions from a postop view. LOL yes I am being a chickenfoot but the less BS and crap I get from people the less stress i will have.

Hi!

Honestly there are going to be rude people everywhere-which is unfortunate. Now having said that I tend to take what I can from each encounter whether in person or in this format-hopefully in this process you can connect with folks to help support you through this journey! I am 9 months post op and it has been AMAZING!! Feel free to chat me up-I will certainly help out if I can-
I rely on support and would say it is very important!
Take care!
