consider the pot stirred:

IF we go months without any new friends, and then some crazy ass drama happens, and *3* or so days later we get a couple....of eager participants....

more eager than maybe a person should be to get in on all the drama surrounding people they don't supposedly know...

I am suspicious.

and also: I freaking love to perpetuate drama.

I wish BM would come back- if it was her or not her, or whatever, she was mostly nice, funny, had cute kids, and made things interesting...oh- and she never did anything to me, which is allllllll that matters, right?

 

my name is BoF and I never let things go.

Starr_Mom

Can't say the thought didn't cross my mind...

I taught middle and high school kids. I am suspicious by default.

 

kbs0929

eh, if you're talking about me, I'm just nosey and bored. 

KoriBrett

yes, have some.

 

Brideofranken

kbs0929:

eh, if you're talking about me, I'm just nosey and bored. 

 I AM talking about you. But not just you.

The last few people that made an "entrance" so to speak, have turned out to be fraudulent to varying degrees.

Which- in and of itself is weird. This is a public message board, and t seems like we would see new posters on a regular basis, and get new regulars pretty regularly.

but we don't.

BOTB has said  we're all rich and elitist snobs...do we send off a vibe?

I noticed this and had suspicions too.  You are not alone.

oh BOF.. how I love thee...let me touch you with my newly painted toenails!

  No vibe, I felt very welcomed yesterday.  I mainly posted on 6-12 but never got many responses there and posted a few times here yesterday and got a lot of helpful responses so I was just trying to join in and get caught up.  No biggie, I can just go back to being a lurker.

Oh, how I would love to be a rich snob, but on our income, it's not likely.

preemiemom

"BOTB has said  we're all rich and elitist snobs...do we send off a vibe?"

A bit, yes. But thats why I love it ( mostly lurking) here. Did BOTB not get the memo that EVERYONE on Parenting is rich,college educated, loves Gymboree, is completely over BF/FF and CIO debate, and all their children are exceptionally gifted?

amiamish

I am suspicious of those that come in with a VERY low post count and talk like they've been here forever.... (not KBS)

eclaires

I think we don't get many newbies, because the board title is so general.  With all the new boards, it would make sense to go to the board you fit in first.

I am so sad to hear that BOTB thinks we are rich and elitist snobs!

And for all that, I am not suspicious of our newbies - I find myself more suspicious of regulars or people who have been around forever, because they obviously know us a bit better.

Of course, I should probably be shaking in my flip flops since I was on SS's "hit list."  I wonder what she's going to do to me??!?!

you should feel welcome, I think- everything comes out in the wash.

If you end up being a weirdy, then more dramz for us!

We get SO BORED just talking about our kid's poop and sleeping habits..

goodheartedmommy

I think the timing is suspicious, but she has 1500 posts and has been a member for 5 years. It's the totally new posters that seem more suspicious to me.

I'm pretty sure I've seen kbs on 6-12.  I think she's legit. 

I think its either BM or Mammarazi or some combination.  Oooooor just some random lurker that decide to jump in on the scandal.

Pretty sure that's not what she meant.  Just a heads-up that we are a bit weary (although not NOT interested in more drama).

I am not suspcious of a true newb- it's an oldie in disguise that makes me wonder things....and how would anyone know? You just don't until the normal outer shell falls off and the crazy is showing through!

Expose the fact that you're a spoiled housewife? I don't mean that in a mean way--but I've never seen you post anything personal here. They're not going to be able to do much to someone who leaves their posting to shopping and snarking and political stuff, you know? (I know you're not concerned at all!)

That's why I don't get the list at all. I think they just threw in random names for laughs, because some of the people on there don't put much personal stuff on the nest. For that matter, the BM email thing was just plain weird and confuses me. I really don't get why an email would be sent to her husband because she flamed someone, and the more I think about it--the fallout from the drama surrounding the email seems a lot worse than the email itself. Hope that made sense. The finger pointing and hurt feelings and friendships being hurt are a lot worse than telling someone's husband that they post too much on a message board. Whoever is behind it all, they're having a lot of outcomes that perhaps they didn't mean to cause (or maybe they're enjoying it).

" Oooooor just some random lurker that decide to jump in on the scandal."

This would be me. I find myself checking back in more often when scandal erupts. With 3 under 3 I'm to busy to post much but my life is pretty boring.  Nest drama is the only drama I've got. And its really annoying to us lurkers when people PM secrets and leave us total strangers out of the internet message board loop. Gosh.

Oh I totally agree on both counts - I think the list was rather random, and like I have said numerous times - I really have nothing to lose.  I don't have a boss, MH is well aware of the things I post here and that I tend to be a little ***-y, I'm pretty much the same here as I am IRL.

Anyway, I thought the BM email thing was pretty weird; some people seemed to think that their husband would be upset by the email, but mine wouldn't.  He'd be like, "man the nest is lame."  Of course, I do agree it's major creepy to have someone find your husband's email address (although I am NOT convinced that this actually happened).

oh thats not cheating- thats when the nest eff's you over. We hate when that happens! "nest glitch"

Scandal is fun. It keeps the board moving. Otherwise it's so slow in here.

KBS, don't go back to being a lurker!
