All I am thinking about is night sweats.  Totally not pregnant, start INH stat.


And every times I heard a condescending poster, who is losing an argument use the "bless you" comment, I think of 1950's Church women. You know, the ones that are OFFENDED by every one and everything, and they walk around with a worn Bible, a hat with a flower in it, and shaking their finger in judgment.

And God forbid some one uses logic/science, then they get so mad and they sputter. Then they finally leave, yell 'bless you" as they slammed the door on the way out?

I think I have lived in the South too long.

So you would rather someone just stand there and keep arguing about something that is irrelevant ,rather then just agree to disagree and leave it be

I don't remember you ever agreeing to disagree or leaving it be.

"I am sorry if I offended anyone, but..." is only one way out of thousands to mitigate the tone.  

Rather, you chose to make inflammatory statements and kept returning after announcing your departure.

But let's be honest--people aren't asking questions to get a Capital A "answer." They are asking because they have a desire to *talk* about it. And that's what discussion boards should be for--a place to vent, share, discuss, etc. But if the community here wants to keep the first page of discussions threads limited, I get that, too. The community should decide. My personal opinion, however, is that too many people are told to go lurk more when in reality, they probably have lurked, they just want to interact. I think there should be a space for that. Perhaps that is the TWW threads, but there's not a lot of interacting there beyond comments directed to one or two people per day. 

I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I think people want to talk, interact and share. This is a crazy, intense, beautiful, mystifying, and also  frustrating experience. Talking it out keeps us sane! I want to be able to do that here, that is all.

She is a regular. Pretty much every one who has commented on this is a regular on this board. Meaning they lurked, figured out the culture of the board, read and understood the TOU and then introduced themselves.

How ever one your first day, you have continued to repeatably pissed of posters, earned some Post-It notes, and dug in your hells demanding we bow to you.  You have called us rude, mocked people who were giving you honest and good advice, and then gave a GBCB and yet stayed to mock us more.

You kind of sound desperate to me to be honest.

Just because someone doesn't say, "Am I pregnant?" Doesn't mean they didn't ask. It's pretty easy to read between the lines for most folks. That's why great writers don't write like this: John knew he was going to get run over by a car when he walked across the street. And write: A great sense of dread filled John as he stared at the asphalt before him. The cars zoomed by unaware of his presence, continuing on to their destination. But as John stepped off the curb, he knew he was done for. They mean exactly the same thing. One is just cleverly shielded. (And might I add, very well written. )

OK. I do agree with this and you really so beautifully explained it. I think that posting, "Anyone else having crazy dreams lately" or something along those lines, if being used as a means to symptom spot in someone's own mind, is still a clever way to shield something without anyone ever knowing lol 

Not speaking to quoted poster anymore: 

At the end of the day, this board is still how I stay sane during ttc as much as not everyone is going to see eye to eye. Women need each other in my honest opinion. I think what's difficult is that there are "swift kick in the butt" ers and then there are "sensitive coddle" ers. I have always found it difficult to interact with "swift kick in the butt" ers and I know that those types have a very difficult time with us sensitive types. 

My sister is the swift kick type, but to her credit, she alters her communication style when she knows she is dealing with a sensitive type. She offers a gentle approach and it works marvelously. It's kind of like having two kids: one responds better to negative reinforcement than the other. I think we are all different and it's beautiful. We all have our strengths and we all need each other. Women are way too hard on one another. Life is hard enough to not have women that we can rely on to empower us or vice versa, no matter how long we've been on these boards and no matter what we "think" of each other on virtual internet.

OP, please stick around. There are other "sensitive types" around here like you who you will get along with quite nicely. They do have a specific type of culture on these boards and we can't change it, but I will tell you this: If you stick around and try to see through the snark, you will learn A LOT! 

It also will keep you sane. I recommend having a more frilly ttc community to be a part of in combination with this one. That way when you are in your TWW, that board will compliment your wanting to be all excited, post a million times, etc. When you are in TTC mode, this board is excellent! This board is also good when you are driving yourself crazy in TWW and need to calm the F down. lol 

Don't leave.

No, we provide support for people who actively become part of the community. Emphasis on community. It is not my job to empower others if they are being stupid (note, I mean this in general terms. I am not calling anyone on this thread stupid). Just in general, I do not need to empower someone else just because I am the same gender. No, just no.

Yes, these quote boxes are stupid, I agree with you lol

I wish you would reconsider that, but fair enough. That is your choice. I believe you and a lot of the women here are extremely intelligent and have a lot to offer. It would be a great service to others if you used that to empower women rather than shaming them. P.S. I wouldn't be a proper feminist if I didn't say that.
