If you don't like my post, don't reply to it. No matter how stupid you think it is, it's still your opinion and if you have nothing nice to say...SURPRISE...don't say it. You have no idea what I have been through in the past with my pregnancies so what you are telling me is that I'm not allowed to post anything light hearted because someone else's heart is breaking. How do you know I never went through anything similar? Maybe this is my rainbow baby after a stillbirth. You don't know, so don't jump down my throat about any kind of post you consider "clutter." Again, don't like it, move on. I am a mom, too, a pregnant mom. You want to talk about how we should be supporting each other yet you've all said nothing but rude things here. I don't read the boards daily, I have no idea what is posted on here before me. I have no idea who else posts about what gender their baby is, but I wouldn't see a big deal if anyone else posted anything similar. I have been a member for 10 years, so what. That doesn't mean I've paid any attention to the community boards all these years. I only have a 3 year old and #2 due in February. No one got bent out of shape over genitals. Simple questions, simple answers. Don't want to reply because you think this post is stupid, clutter, not appropriate? Don't comment. Simple.as.that.
In case you didn't know, you can't control how people respond to your posts. So, the same applies to you. Don't like the comments left on your post, don't reply to them. Funny how that works, right?
It's my post, I started it. I think I can post to it. Thanks though!
And by all means, keep posting. I obviously can't stop you. The same way you can't stop me, or anyone else. Doesn't matter who started the post. Anyone can reply to it in anyway they'd like.
How self centered and oblivious do you have to be to insist that guessing the sex of your baby is fun even when everyone is telling you that it is not? I get that it might be fun FOR YOU to have strangers guess, but we, the Internet strangers, DO NOT think it is fun. So stop insisting.

I'm not saying it's stupid. In fact, I believe I said that it's fun to play these kinds of games. But the logic I used in saying that posts that aren't helpful or educational on this particular board taking focus away from important posts that help moms with questions or concerns isn't an opinion. It's a fact. More posts create more posts. That's like saying "it's Thursday because it's Thursday". It's just logic. So if we all make posts like this, how do those posts that require attention ever get the attention they require? I mean... It's common sense. Which is why I think they need a board specifically for these kinds of posts. So people like you can make posts like this and nobody has to sift through them to find what they're looking for. But wow didn't take long to lose that false sense of self-sacrifice huh?

I also believe I addressed the question of your longevity here. Maybe things DID used to work differently here. I've no idea. I understand that though but the point is that they don't now and the fact remains that you are just one of many and in no way deserve to be above forum etiquette any more than I do or anyone else.
@groovylocks I had to hit refresh 3 or 4 times before TB app realized I was logged in so I could love your post above. I would have easily done it another 30-40 times to be able to do so.

All I hear in your post is "me, me, me!" This is a community, give support to get it. I'm on the app and haven't figured out how to view post history but I imagine you're the type to post "look! pay attention to me!" threads without contributing anything of value to the community. I could be wrong. Hell, I'd like to be wrong but posters with attitudes like yours generally only use the community for attention.

Your hunch is exactly right. She's only ever replied to her own threads about the sex of her baby. Why do strangers come around thinking that other people will find enjoyment in guessing what they're having? OP, if you HAD paid attention after all this time, this all could have been avoided.

I have my A/S next week. It's totally okay to post a picture of my child's genitals and ask opinions right? Okay! First thing Monday morning. lol
I really can't stand it when people only use these forums to post crap like that and then that's it. Oh, and then they always like to mention how "unsupportive" and "rude" everyone is. I'm really wondering if it's not the same person creating multiple accounts.

Just make sure you start your own thread. OH and don't forget to cross post in your BMB and the tri boards. You don't want anyone to miss out on the funsies!
