I can understand the desire to issue "tough love". I personally find it frustrating when I hear people moan and moan about their weight when it just seems to me like they aren't willing to do the work. (I'm not really talking about here, but more in my diet class I attend every week.) A lot of what looks like "tough love" is really just frustration. I find it easier to just ignore those people who frustrate me and the Internet makes that even easier than doing it in the real world.
