Stating in a discussion that we are a VERY friendly board, followed by saying that people are posting stupid questions.
The dozen or so mean girls need to create their own board so that they can bitch and complain to each other instead of constantly taking over all discussions with their cackling. Those mean girls are the true lurkers, waiting for a discussion to post that they deem unworthy so that they can rudely respond and invite each other in for the kill like a pack of hyenas.
Barking at people for posting a question that has been asked before or heaven forbid posting anything at all before introducing themselves to strangers so that they have heard back from the welcoming committee before posting a question is absurd. While frequenting the bump daily may be your prerogative, it's not too difficult to understand that it may not be others.
While I think it's wonderful that you have felt a true connection with each other, turning your connection into a clique trying to overrun the discussions like it's High School is sad and incredibly self absorbed. Your natural disapproving demeanor and condescending attitude will prove to be an integral component of your parenting.

Hey, no one is entitled to anything here. There is not some internet law that says newbies with asinine questions are to be catered to in whatever way they want. Like I've said before, it's not like Costco on sample Saturday. A BMB is a community, not an interactive diary or some human google for people who don't want to do their own work. It's a give and take, and 8-9 months in, if all you want to do is take, it's not gonna fly.
Do some people get flamed too quickly? Yeah, sure. Some people are innocent and really didn't know and signed up for TB and followed the link that says "your BMB." But internet etiquette still exists and you should lurk before posting. Not just expect friends and support and the bestest human mommy google because you also managed to get knocked up.
But yeah, thanks for the lecture. Hope you feel better about yourself and your parenting now.
*shrugs* if you think you're right, stand up for your shit. Don't hide behind the "love it" button.
Your commitment to each other is really unmatched. The monotony of the replies is just so predictable and cliche.
I hope that you create a FB group so that you can have your clique converse in private. Please expand your commitment to ostracize people and just officially create a separate meeting space.
I think that your clique and the 100s of March 2014 members would really do much better if you took your rhetoric elsewhere.

She's missed the fact that a few of us have asked her actual, legitimate questions, and focused on the GIFs and other things she doesn't like.
The bump is an opportunity for people to support one another going through pregnancy. While I would hope that everyone has shown their support, im not discussing your support, quite the opposite.
It's clear that there have been a plethora of non supportive comments and the comments tend to come from the same group of people. This is solely the cohort that I'm referring to in this discussion. Your consistent complaints about repetitive and stupid questions are just that, repetitive and stupid. It's really just mucking up the discussion boards. Im not clicking on a discussion to see cackling and bickering, I'm clicking on a discussion because I found the subject interesting and want to learn more or support someone.
If you don't like it, feel free to leave.
Support goes both ways and since I have no idea who the fuck you are I can guarantee that you've never supported me in anything so why should I return the favor? Were you here when I was put on bed rest? No! Were you here to support any of these ladies throughout their pregnancy issues? No! You just want to come on here and post your little hissy fit post and have people blow glitter and rainbows at you! Get the fuck over yourself?
For someone who is trying incredibly hard to sound intelligent, you certainly know very little about how the internet works.
Do you also try to civilize the comment section of YouTube in your spare time?
Rhetorical question. By all means continue your crusade to make the internet a warmer, fuzzier place. Our cohort and our rhetoric won't be fazed.
I've offered support to lots of people here, both regulars and women who are new. I've also received tons of support from everyone, including a lot of my "mean girls". I have no idea who in the actual fuck you are, but if you had posted something looking for T & P, I would have offered mine to you. So would a lot of the women you've tried to condemn in this thread. If you go to ANY BMB on The Bump, you will find they are all incredibly similar, especially towards the end.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
And while you were proactively and assertively replying to posts and committing to the discussion boards there were hundreds of other members that are introverts that read the boards and might only post here and there. Or quite possibly a member who just found out about the bump and wants to ask some questions. Not all members are going to be as active and I highly doubt that any new members have gone back to the beginning of this birth club to view all messages.
