So maybe it was the same cause as the WW boards (which sounds like the worst example of lack of internet moderation): it was hunger making everyone nasty.

I wasn't the only one who noticed and 3 other people messaged me after sticking up for a new person saying they were leaving the boards because it was hard to find someone supportive. Now, it wasn't NEARLY as bad as what you describe on the WW board, but still..

As for bananas.. LOL I just hate bananas Hate them so very, very much. Unless they're a quarter green with absolutely NO BROWN speckles! I don't know a ton of people who even eat them, though. That's all I was basing my comment on :-D

I stand corrected! And I see where everyone's saying it isn't LC (WW that is) but it is nicer that they're focusing more on protein.
