I have no idea of the history here and I avoid sex like the plague, but that OP rant WAS dramatic.
Whether or not it was dramatic isn't the issue. I've already said that I myself wouldn't handle some flaming this way. What the issue is is coming into a thread where someone is hurting and needlessly taking shots at them. What's the point of that? Some e-cred?
Cool. Good job. Good effort.
This isn't even a flaming! It seems more like a foot stomping temper tantrum than a cry for help and actual pain. I make one comment and now I'm taking shots? I've got lots of e-cred, the good kind. The loving and supportive and genuine kind.
My comment, while responding to you, was not directed at you. You're right, you never took shots.
Ok, thank you. It felt like a huge reaction to my small comment
Lol, no, my bad. I should have been clearer.
I'm being featured in a new pregnancy/motherhood blog during the month of October, so if you ever wanted to know more about my pregnancy, birth, and motherhood experiences than anyone ever should, check out my posts in the link below!
New people joined the board and have been participating, I don't get why all the older regulars seem to be mad about that.
Here's why.... because you called us out, tagged us in posts, and then got all shitty and snooty about it.
Oh the Facebookers, they're "exclusive" they want our awards blah blah blah
You don't know shit.
You thought you all could say crap because we were in Facebook.... it never occurred to you we were still around, just you know, on mobile, on maternity leave, surviving the second leap, etc.....
In short, You. Got. Caught. You were being shitty and you got caught.
That's why we're mad. You thought this board was suddenly all yours, forgetting it's a PUBLIC forum, and then got butt hurt at us for coming back to TB, when you all are the ones that called us out in the first place.
You call for one of the originals, you get us all. Don't like it? Tough shit, that's how we roll
What are you even talking about?
I think the issue is that it seems like old regs are only willing to participate on here if there's drama they can add to. These are the same people who would call people out for not participating enough in the old days. And talk about drama - "You call for one of the originals, you get us all." =D> Andplusalso, you know that there are a lot of original posters who are still here that never joined the FB group, right?
My point with that was you tagged one or two people we're closer to and then got pissed when we all came back. Like we wouldn't be interested when Salsy got tagged or what have you...That's not drama, that's what happened you paged a couple, you got us all. Deal with it.
I'm aware of the original posters who didn't join FB because I was still lurking.... just busy with my newborn infant and such. And lets face it TB is not as easy to keep up with, it's way more of a time suck trying to keep up with two social networks instead of just one
What I'm not in the mood to do is go dig up a bunch of old threads talking about our abandonment of the board. Simply too much work. There were plenty of snide comments though, and then you wonder why we all were silent for so long....

You've only been posting in drama threads since you returned (or nominating fellow FB'ers for awards, which I give a rat's ass about). Not everyone, but certain people, including you. And look at your pathetic passive aggressive siggy badge about the FB group. Sounds like you might be taking things a bit too personally...

Actually a bunch of us put that siggy badge in because we can't remember each others user names anymore.... and wanted a memory refresh. I wasn't even the first person to use that badge. Aaaaaand I'm not only posting in drama threads. I've started a couple threads and handed out compliments and advice in a few others.... try to keep up.
I can not believe some of you could be so mean and insensitive to someone who has definitely expressed that they suffer from extreme anxiety and has previously stated that her only social life pretty much exists through this board because of this anxiety. You're EFFIN cruel and it's not cool at all. It's just not. It's mean! So just stop it!! This is supposed to be a supportive community...and saying things like "handle the snark" or "grow thicker skin" or saying someone is being overdramatic is just being an a-hole. What if they can't handle it? What if it was really hurtful? What if it made someone cry? Why would someone want to do hat to someone who has been nothing but nice? It is bullying. It's uncalled for. Making fun, being a sarcastic b-tch, acting all cliquey... Wtf is this? Middle school? It's just effed up. And I am truly sad and angry that someone is genuinely hurting (a lot) right now. Whether you think it's ridiculous or not:.. Still doesn't change feelings, they can't be helped. Just be nice to each other, and if you can't do that then don't say anything!! Stop being hurtful. I'm done.
I maintain I know nothing about the sharks/jets feud going on here and it was strictly coincidental that I've recently returned. I actually quite enjoyed myself today in the discussions I've had and I thought all was well.

My H's family is very anti-drinking while BF. How am I about to sneak wine to survive the holidays?!
Say fuck 'em and funnel a whole bottle in front of them?

I feel sad that someone is so upset about others making comments on this board, honestly I do. However, I also think that when posting things on a public Internet forum, you should be prepared to have people disagree with you, have opinions about what you say, etc. If someone disagrees with you or thinks what you post is ridiculous, who cares! Just be you and own it.
We all have different personalities, ideals, ways of life and thinking so we will not always see eye to eye. Life goes on.
I totally agree with this. However with one caveat- I think lappy's mental health struggles make it very difficult for her to let it go like someone else might. She is bipolar and has discussed her difficulties with that in the past.
It makes me sad she is going. I think the support she got on this board was good for her and I think the board benefited from her and her point of view I just wish the last few days could be erased, but, alas, the Internet forgets nothing.
@lappyfoinker if you feel differently after a few days and some space I hope you come back.
In all seriousness, even from lurking when the 'originals' were still here, you could tell @lappyfoinker was a sensitive person. There is nothing wrong with being a sensitive person. Yeah, you (general you) could say she needs to be prepared for it or whatever, but I don't think your harsh words are needed when someone is breaking down because she felt criticized and defensive of her lifestyle in another post.
I would also agree that the snarky mentality that has been used more with the 'originals' can be overdone at times (this thread for example) and can make you seem like a real stone cold bitch. Someone is crying out that you (again, general you) took it too far in judgement the other day and yet you are taking it even further with this? Wtf? Oh, you thought it was overdone and dramatic? Oh well. The unnecessary snark is used too much and now that we 'newbies' are calling you on your shit that means it is a battle between the 'originals' and 'newbies?'
Good news for those who haven't packed up their maternity stuff yet....
Packed up? I still wear it on the reg.
