Question:
Is it just me or are some folks here just lying in wait to attack other answerer's?

I've posted answers on here, recently, expressing my opinion or experience to a few of the questions. A couple of times, I've noticed others posting just after me addressing my answers in an almost confrontational manner. Naturally, people aren't going to agree with each other all the time. But if you do disagree, I think you should do it in a respectful way. Thanks!    — PaulaJ (posted on May 11, 2009)

I agree with you completely. This isn't a black or white board. It is just opinions and helpful advice. Keep on posting away!!!!!

Nope, not just you. This was one of the reasons that I stopped posting on the forums. Got tired of the bickering. There are some people out there that just spoil for a fight.

PRECISELY why I have lost a lot of excitement about even checking OH.com It seems no matter where you go these days or what you do there is always someone waiting to piss on your parade. The ones who get happy & hard over hurting others.One thing I will say is that quite a few questions that get asked on here are common sense or ones that certainly should always be answered by a professional, be it there doctor or nut etc...But those folks could just be lonely and looking for a friend to reply and have a conversation.Regardless the reason, there is excuse for rudeness,or sarcasm and I for one wish those with ill intentions would grow up and shut up. Have a great lighter day today than the day before!

Pardon me for coming in late, but I was backed up on my daily Q&A and I am just now catching up. So, I'm not positive, but I think you may be referring to a specific post about vitamins on 5/11/09?? If that is what you were referring to, I also read it and did not feel it should have been taken personally and certainly not as an attack on your answer. The person I 'think' you may be talking about was speaking from her own personal experience, having been through a severe vitamin deficiency all while taking her vitamins that were advised by her doctor!! (Sorry, but sometimes, doctors don't know best). I do also agree with her answer that the ingredients she listed are correct, and there IS a lot of unhealthy garbage in those vitamins you are taking. (even if your nut and surgeon recommended them!) I don't believe that this person spends all the time she does specifically answering so many questions about vitamins to hurt peoples feelings, but rather she does it because she has extensively researched the subject for her own health as a 5yr post op, and she really cares enough to share that information with others who are seeking answers. She is also very proactive about her own health, to which I say, 'Good for her!'. I, personally, have learned a lot from reading 'her' posts. It is a shame, and frankly, counter productive that you would use this forum to post the question you did above to get people to agree with you and your opinion.(Is it just me, or...?). It seems to me, that doing that is more confrontational than anything she posted. Truly, sometimes in writing, it can be very easy to misunderstand the tone or intent a person is expressing. I think that is what happened here. Give her the benefit of the doubt, and let it be. I would also suggest you revisit her answer and look up some of the ingredients mentioned and see for yourself how unhealthy they are! You will be surprised. I think many people on this Daily Q&A need to lighten up and smile! Life really is good!
