And one more thought... If you're doing all this in the name of trying to be nice, FBW, how nice of you was it that you blasted someone's personal issues all over Facebook and private messages?
I'd guess you were fine with whatever was going until you got blocked and your feelings got hurt, and then you decided to WK.
I don't recall you being in chat. Why are you so passionately defending it?
Also, if the conversations revolved around you, would your opinion be the same?
Lastly, I was not blocked by anyone but am not ok with what has gone on in chat at times.
One more thing, retrospect is 20/20. I participated in some private conversations about other bumpies and now feel bad about it. I think a change of heart can happen. Even in FBW :P .
Edit: words
No, I've never been in the chat, and I'm not defending anyone.
I couldn't care less if they were "talking" about me in an ONLINE chat. They are basically internet strangers. Again, this whole thing is ridiculous. If you aren't okay with something, put on your big girl panties and leave the group. No need to cause lots of drama on your way out.
I'm sorry if I'm helping to drag it out. I can be done now.

This is exactly why some people get it and some people don't. If you have not formed any sort of relationship beyond "basic internet stranger" on here or on FB then you will never understand how any of us could feel backstabbed or that anyone was being two faced. You just won't ever get it. And down playing it as "no big deal" to those that obviously feels different isn't making them feel any better. They aren't going to all of a sudden think "oh you're right" because they feel the relationships formed are drastically different than you are viewing them.
Then why bring whatever your issues are to a public forum? Keep your relationships and problems with them private.
@katykatykaty the more that "argument" gets thrown out, the more it doesn't help anything. The person that started the whole mess blocked all of us and deleted her Bump acct. If you weren't involved, maybe you should stay just that. Not involved.
You are missing the point. By bringing it to a PUBLIC MESSAGE BOARD, you are inviting everyone to be involved in personal drama.
Maybe this drama happens because we didn't learn to soothe ourselves when we were babies or our mothers let us cry it out.
More likely it's cause we were formula-fed 80s babies. We have poisoned brains and stuff.

So if yall are getting PMs you probably realize I started this whole conversation. I feel absolutely horrible. Hopefully you all know at this point that I'm a nice person. I genuinely did not mean anything malicious. I didn't have anything to do with the chat fight and am very lightly involved in the chat or FB. I don't really understand why I got dragged into this. But it is what it is. I just feel absolutely gutted that someone is being hurt by this becoming public. I hope this helps you guys feel better about not getting an apology. I hope it was worth it.
And it's a P&R because I'm at lunch with my mom and then have appointments.

...Just when this thread was starting to get a little boring
Serious question here @starfish527. If FBW hadn't been involved in this, what would the outcome have been?
FBW is not the reason this fight is happening. You want it to be her, sure, but she is actually not the problem with this one.
Why would I want it to be her? I have backed her up in the past when I was in the minority. I don't really care if someone blocked someone. When I read FBW's FB thread I seriously thought someone's life was threatened. Being blocked is NOT THAT SERIOUS.
Nope, but asking people to get into others personal files is.
Asking people to divulge information about people on TB or Facebook for the single purpose of making fun of them.
Standing by while a user lists the drugs they do with their minor child while caring for their infant and then not confronting their mental illness but I fact feeding it and patting on them on the head is.
Want me to go on?
Whoa. I must have missed this. If someone is doing drugs with a minor and doing drugs while caring for an infant, shouldn't someone notify authorities or at the very least, this person's family?!
ETA: I'm assuming this is either an illegal drug, or a precription drug abuse.
@HighPeak I've not defended a drug user and I don't know the details - but, I think some of it would depend on the drug and the age of the child. A lot of people view marijuana differently, same with alcohol.
My first boyfriend (he was 14) used to smoke pot with his friend and the friends' parents. I've also known parents who would let their children drink alcohol under their supervision or have sex in the home. I wouldn't do any of that, but depending on circumstances I don't think it's end of the world. Plenty of people have a more relaxed way of parenting.
I get your sentiment, but using ANY drugs with your kids, while you look after a baby (even alcohol) is a big no no. Weed may not be viewed as a "hard drug" but it does have a great impact on your reaction times, your thinking capacity and your outlook on life/situations in general, especially over a prolonged period of time.
I agree. I'm all for getting my drunk on, and back in the day, my smoke on, but certainly not when I'm responsible for caring for my kids.
I missed the drug comment as well - Gosh if you all put enough concern into your own real life communities, maybe the world would be a better place.
But for the sake of the argument - drugs, balloons, bj's, rainbows, or puppies - the issue is that people joined together to exploit someone for the joy and fun of it. Stop with "but it's okay because..."

Who needs authorities when they can shame her on a public forum.
I'm not being a martyr. That's called being an adult and admitting my mistakes. You are doing all this backhanded maneuvering in an effort to hurt people because of a perceived slight. I'm standing up and saying it was me.
Eta - I have no idea what that drug discussion is about. That wasn't me, FTR.
