Re: FFFC
"My point is, you didn't suggest we report her for her comments, so you obviously didn't find them nearly as offensive, which is RIDICULOUS. "
Actually, I found them to be rather disgusting, however there were many many many people who posted on it that said it better than I would have so I kept my comments to myself.
I finally shaved last night (like midnight when my husband was sleeping and I couldn't sleep again)... I could not take the wilderness anymore.
Whoa, I go to lunch and this happens....jeeze.
I'm not even going to touch last weeks thread, however....I think that attacking what I named my child is a little ridiculous. I met one person who had a sibling named Stori therefore I named my kid that "just because everyone else was doing it" you're reaching for something to insult me about....and that's sad.
I encourage anyone who no longer wants to see what I have to say or is going to use my kids as pawns to your own jokes about me, to use that handy little 'block' feature TB has provided.
I didn't realize it was offensive.. you know, because everyone else was doing it. I don't think it's a problem, really. I mean, my friend's kid is named Frogger and I make fun of him, but my friend just laughs and thinks it's funny. So it must be ok, right guys?
And for the record, since misinterpretation seems to be running rampant, I never said anything about your kid's name. I was making another dig at your stance on doing things because "everyone else says it's ok". I don't particularly care what you name your child; I'm sure it's a beautiful name, she's a beautiful child, and you're a beautiful mother. That doesn't change the fact that you use offensive words and try to excuse it by laying blame to the society you live in.
I don't think people are reaching. You pretty much throw it all out there asking people to flame you for it..
And people can't block you! You're our favorite trainwreck. We just can't look away.
Yes, because being hypocritical is so super cool. Especially sinking to somebody else's level that you've made so very clear is disgusting to you....?
That was my entire point last week is that just because an insult doesn't contain the words "retarded" or "gay" doesn't mean its not just as hurtful to whoever it's directed at. And the fact that its ok with all of you to insult others in whatever way you see fit, just because it doesn't contain those two words is really sad.
I was asking to be flamed because I said that my daughter's name is Stori? Because that's what the initial insult was based on. Yes, I understand that it derived from last week's thread....however, picking random reasons to insult me is ridiculous. If you want to insult me because I occasionally use words that you find offensive...then fine. But picking apart what I named my child is ridiculous.
Get off your high horse.
I'm going to repost this for you, since you seem to have missed it. I never remember insulting your child's name. I implied something about you. But let's go with the widely accepted version you favor: that I'm a twat-rocket. Yaaay.
My computer hadn't updated that comment yet. And thank you, she is a very beautiful girl.
Awww, c'mon. We aren't going to go with JB is a twat-rocket??? I had a GIF....
What the hell? I'll just put it on here anyway.
haha..you said twat-rocket...love it
I have two.
1. I told my bf there were no more philly cheese steak hot pockets so that I could have the last one.
2. This is me when I see Lovely Lauren post.
and...
I second this. LovelyLauren, it's time for a Bumpcation.
Bump burp.
Ah, yes. Because I participated in a conversation over a week later, that had absolutely nothing to do with last weeks topic of conversation and other people brought it up again....yes I can see how I'm so completely out of line today....
So....you want people to block you if they don't want to see what you say because you don't care what they think? Correct? Then why continue to come back here and stir the pot. If you're good with your decisions then you shouldn't need to justify yourself to anyone, but you constantly try and then run circles around yourself.
Bahaha, no... no no no no no. Silly girl. This isn't why we wa... no, need you to go away. It's because as a grown woman with (soon to be) two children, you need to learn how to step back and say "You know what, yeah. I went about that the wrong way. I misunderstood the message" and leave it alone. But since you feel the need to vomit your "defense", you will have people to correct your atrocious behavior.
Ah. I didn't say anything about being out of line. I just reiterated what the consensus of opinions was last week when you "participated in a conversation that had absolutely nothing to do with last week's topic" and embarrassed yourself tremendously. Surprisingly, you've done it again this week on another post "that has absolutely nothing to do" with this thread's topic.
Anyway, sometimes we start digging ourselves a hole, as you have done last week and worked on it more this week. Sometimes it helps to take a break from posting (digging holes).
This doesn't even make since. Again, because I participated in a thread that had absolutely nothing to do with last week, and said nothing offensive to anybody....I needed to be corrected?? I dropped it from last week. I stopped responding and took a step back. However, if someone else brings it back up AGAIN....how is that my fault?
Point blank? You knowingly posted on a thread that was being frequented by some of the people who advocate against your behavior.. and call you out on it. You have no right to get your panties in a wad about it. Skipping into a building going up into flames doesn't make you brave, it makes you impossibly naive.
HOLY SHIIITTT. Do you ever just STOP TALKING? Do you honestly not realize how stupid you sound all.the.time? Because when you keep going like this, it doesn't help your case at all. It's actually making people hate you even more. You just continuously dig your hole deeper and deeper. Give it up.
I seriously suggest a bumpcation. For awhile..
I think you get a pass because your sister pulled you in.
You are missing some amazing GIFs, I can only see about half (darn work computer) and those are great.

Let me elaborate with an example.
I know posters in our BMB and especially these daily ***/flame threads complain about baby names, especially ones they view as ridiculous looking/sounding. I also know my LO's name isn't normal and falls into that category. Therefore, I'm not going to be all.. "OMMMGG GUYYZZ look at my baby's name, you can't possibly hate it!!!1111"
I would expect to be flamed. See?
It actually makes tons and tons and tons of sense. You just keep "defending" a side only you are on. You keep responding and talking and typing. JUST STOP. That's what we're all saying. STOP TALKING. AND TAKE A BREAK FOR AWHILE.
Whooopsies. I was the one who brought it back up today, ma badddd!
But here's the deal: I hold grudges (I need a badge, if someone who knows how wants to volunteer to make me one, it shall read, "I hold grudges"). Sooo how does that pertain to you, one might ask? Since last week, anytime I see your siggy, I immediately think of the girl who thought it was okay to admit she uses the terms "retarded" and "gay" freely, and her only defense was that "everybody does it" and "at least I admit I do it", but actually showed no remorse or even hinted that she may try to change.
Sooo... yeh, for the next couple of times you post, even if it seems random to you, to a lot of us, we don't even pay attention to what you're saying, all we think while reading your posts is,
I'm done quoting people because this is just getting out of hand....
Like I have said, I took part in a thread today that originally had nothing to do with last week. I talked about my child's name, where I got the idea from and so forth...it is very unfortunate that others felt the need to insult what I said TODAY because of what was said LAST WEEK. I don't feel like I continued to "dig a hole". If anything, I thought I had stopped stirring the pot from last week. Even after today's initial comment was made, I said nothing insulting or argumentative, I simply stated that if you are going to continue to find reasons to insult me for everything I say, then please, feel free to block me. I took people's "advice" last week and took a Bumpcation and have barely posted anything all week, and have stayed away from all of the controversial threads all together. I'm not 100% sure what else is expected at this point. (that is SOOO rhetorical) However, I'm going to continue on like I did last week because believe it or not, I enjoy this board and reading what other woman in the same stage of pregnancy are dealing with. I sincerely hope that anyone who wants or "needs" me to go away can either keep their comments to themselves on any future threads or block me. That seems like a very simple solution to all of this.
But you know we don't like your offensive behavior! You also know that it's always the same people who post on the B&M, TT, UO, and FFC threads. So why even come here if you know it's going to happen!? You're inviting it.
I hear you, it is a week later. You offered a different opinion and any other time I don't think it would have been a big deal. But:
1) You posted in FFFC: the prime location for solicited snark a week after being flamed.
2) You are forcing yourself back into a group. You should ask yourself why you need to express your opinions here, in this group, which has expressed a desire not to hear from you. Especially when it's a contrarian opinion. I don't think this is really about what you named your daughter and more about the kind of person you portray yourself to be. It's like getting into a yet unresolved cat fight and then inviting yourself back to the lunch table like nothing happened and it's all good. People do not have to like you. That ended in grade school. This is not peer mediation, you don't get to make the rules as to when people should be over it. The fact that you enjoy the group doesn't mean the "group" enjoys you...stop pushing it. If everyone here has to block you, what's the point? At what point is it YOU?
Touch?, MrsToussaint! ::clapping and saluting::
