I understand. They call it snark, but it is just plain rudeness. The internet makes it easier for people's meaner sides to come out. Everyone complains about repeated posts/topics, but if they have a problem with it, why do they read them?
I haven't been the target of rudeness yet, (though we'll see if this post changes that) but it does upset me to see women treating other women harshly. It is internet bullying, and you can tell it is bullying because instead of apologizing for hurting another human being's feelings, they just up their antagonism and even do a little victim blaming, as evidenced by the "Oh, boo hoo, you can't handle my rudeness," type comments. It can get rather stereotypical middle school-esque.
I also understand your desire to make your departure known...what victim of bullying doesn't want to call out or stand up to their bully? And it is important, I think, for people here to be reminded that words do hurt. One can be honest without being hurtful. It isn't as fun/satisfying as "snark," but it is possible. Life isn't puppies and rainbows, but one doesn't have to make it dogsh*t and leprechaun p*ss either.
Anyhow, I'm interested in what this friendlier board is. I mostly lurk here because I like reading about other people's experiences and it is a very informative place, but I'm not interested in becoming the victim of women who think being rude should be socially acceptable because they have been members of a website for a long time, while their victims are newbies (fresh meat really).
1. Why do people post the same topic over and over and over and over (get my drift) again? It's stupid and redundant ... are you really so lazy you can't SCROLL through a couple pages (I'm sure, at most) to find your topic and a bunch of HELPFUL answers?
2. What kind of world do you live in where being honest and to the point is mean and bullying? Who cares if your feelings are hurt?! That's what's wrong with this country today -- everyone is so freakin' worried about hurting someone's feelings than telling the honest to god truth without unicorns, rainbows, puppies, etc. Grow a thicker skin and get over it.
3. I have seen absolutely NO "bullying" as you call it. Look at the definition of it. I don't believe anyone has threatened to harm anyone or anything ..... I'd be careful about throwing terms like this out.
4. And FFS, if you don't like this board, please leave! No one is forcing you to stay and get your feelings hurt and witness all this "meanness".

34!!! To think I almost left the board because I was called a bully also in another post and figured if that's what y'all think is bullying than this is not the place for me. Some folks really can't take any truth. Guess ill stick around a little longer and see if people can put on their big girl panties and take some truth.
I think I am missing something. Ok, a person doesn't like this board. Fine. I can get that. There isn't anything in this world we all agree on. For example, I hate Pepsi. Weird tasting Coke wannabe, in my book. So you know what I do? I don't buy Pepsi. I buy Coke. And when I do, I don't write to Pepsi and complain about their sad little cola product and how its very existence is awful and how Pepsi drinkers bully me by shoving their soft drink preferences in my face. Because, even though it isn't for me, I can clearly see that other people enjoy it and they can rock on with their bad selves. Have a Pepsi party. I am grown woman. I can handle the idea that Pepsi isn't for me without flipping out on people who do enjoy it. Why would it matter to you so much if you don't like a board? Why wouldn't you just move on and never think about it again? Am I missing something?

And thank you. This whole thing really does seem like someone taking Pepsi's formula personally. I mean, I do take it personally, but those Pepsi people have always had it out for me. Always.

The blue can always makes me shudder too. We refuse to support restaurants with Pep products. GBCRWPP
I just don't think I can handle this board anymore. I can't associate with Coke drinkers. And I will not tolerate the Pepsi bashing!!! How dare you not think the same way I do!!! And point it out! Crazy b!tches!!!
My feeeeelings are so hurted right now. Wahhhh!
I'm going to babycenter where my love of Pepsi will be validated and appreciated. And everyone will agree Pepsi is best.

the same could be said if you don't like that someone has posted about something tbat has already been covered. don't respond. the respnses sometimes are just mean spirited. i mean someone called her an "attention getting whore" is that really necessary??
i bet she wouldn't have said that in the street. good thing for virtual walls.

Live free or die!
I swore I wasn't going to post on this thread because it is just silly - but this is just bloody brilliant.

It's "attention whore" (AW) and more than one person wrote it. It means that she is attention seeking, not that she is a whore who is getting attention (which is how you phrased it).
I'm curious as to how this would even be a scenario IRL? A girl jumping into a room full of women having conversations she didn't agree with just to yell about how she didn't like everyone? I'm certain if that happened IRL someone would have something to say about that.
Personally, I am glad some good is coming of this. I am finally seeing everyone true colors. There were some Pepsi drinkers in my very midst! I come here for unequivocal cola support! I find that, as a pregnant woman, life is one non-stop laugh riot and I get enough entertainment from my every day life. I don't need nor do I want it here. I come to the boards to ask questions that Google cannot possibly answer like: I haven't had a drink in 4 hours, am I thirsty? Am I the only one since the dawn of time to burp after chugging a Coke? And, where can I rent a hall to accommodate my 75 guests for my Flavor Reveal party?
I find is disgusting that there are cola drinkers on this board who have different personalities than me. We all drink cola, we should all share a sense of humor and common goals. It is not as if there is any conceivable way for me to not read things that upset me.
Coke FTW!

I try to stay non snarky. My Nov 11 due date club is awesome. We have our differences and voice out opinions but I love that we all do it in a respectful manner. That said I have grown to enjoy you ladies also. You guys do have great senses of humor and although some comments are not what I would say it doesn't make it wrong that someone else will. Also I have noticed on this board that some people do deserve the bluntness. Especially when comes to certain things like wishing you had morning sickness to lose weight. WTF? In the end you comment and pay attention on things you want to ignore the things you don't like its really that simple! And you certainly don't post that you are leaving a board with well over 100 women because in truth you are not affecting anyone.

O.O How DARE you like Coke instead of Pepsi!! We disagree! You must hate meeeeee!
Okay, now, in all seriousness, I've been on baby gaga boards, Cafe Mom boards, and Baby center boards, they're all FAR snarkier, and flat-out meaner than this board has ever been. If you can't deal with people not being all fluffy and lobey dobey about everything that you have to say, what are you doing on a message board? If you can't take a little snark, what are you doing on the internet?

Actually, AW generally stands for "Attention Wanted". But it 's the same general principle.

I read it as 'attention wanted' in a post title, but in this thread it was being used as an adjective. The whore part automatically pops in my head when it's "name calling"
Ladies... I know we all have raging hormones right now. But, seriously just about everyone needs to get a grip and calm down. We are all in this together to support each other and to learn from eachothers experiences. Being snarky isn't needed either. It is rude. And, with all of the sensitive hormones we need to be mindful of that. This is all very new to a lot of us. Can't we all just get along?

I agree. Both sides are getting redundant. One side posts the same questions over and over again and the other side continues to post how annoyed they are about the constant re-posts of the same questions which then leads into a debate about being mean vs. being honest. If EVERYONE stopped posting the same question and posting about being mean vs. being honest, we could get back to talking about PREGNANCY or other topics.

Haha wow. I am amused at how much y'all have proven me right. I logged back on to delete my account but I can't from mobile so I guess I'm just deleting the app. Have fun bein "snarky" which is your defensive way of trying to cover up the fact that you are a attention whore yourself. And I didn't even have to say anything to get that point across. You ladies have no life and I knew exactly which ones were going to post on here because you have a track record of being the wanttobe bump police. Like I said. Log off, get a damn life, and enjoy your baby daddy, kids, and pregnancy instead of lurking on here all day bashing people. It's called growing up. You should try it.

Like the self restraint not to return to a board you so obnoxiously left? Yeah, this page won't get your account deleted.
Oh and baby daddys are for immature twats and teenagers. As an adult, I have a husband TYVM.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I'm amused that you gbcb and then came back. Do you feel the need to have the last word or something?
Why would I have to log off of the bump to enjoy my pregnancy? Also, why can't I enjoy tb and my husband at the same time? I don't have to be, how do I say it so you might be able to comprehend, " all up in his grill" in order to spend a quite evening at home with him.
I have a life. It's quite amazeballs. Too bad you arent spending time with your baby daddy. instead you are worrying what a bunch of women, that you don't like, have to say about your little drama filled exit post.

Have you been over to TTGP? The snark runs strong with those ladies, and for the most part, hormones aren't even to blame. I love them so much
What you think is "rude" is actually just bluntness and honesty. I do not understand why grown women think they need to be talked to like children. People looking for someone to blow glitter up their vag probably should find another forum.
Re: Leaving the board
1. Why do people post the same topic over and over and over and over (get my drift) again? It's stupid and redundant ... are you really so lazy you can't SCROLL through a couple pages (I'm sure, at most) to find your topic and a bunch of HELPFUL answers?
2. What kind of world do you live in where being honest and to the point is mean and bullying? Who cares if your feelings are hurt?! That's what's wrong with this country today -- everyone is so freakin' worried about hurting someone's feelings than telling the honest to god truth without unicorns, rainbows, puppies, etc. Grow a thicker skin and get over it.
3. I have seen absolutely NO "bullying" as you call it. Look at the definition of it. I don't believe anyone has threatened to harm anyone or anything ..... I'd be careful about throwing terms like this out.
4. And FFS, if you don't like this board, please leave! No one is forcing you to stay and get your feelings hurt and witness all this "meanness".

34!!! To think I almost left the board because I was called a bully also in another post and figured if that's what y'all think is bullying than this is not the place for me. Some folks really can't take any truth. Guess ill stick around a little longer and see if people can put on their big girl panties and take some truth.
*pulling out the granny panties* Dead sexy.
I guess I missed the post where you were called a bully! People really need to get a grip on that word ... and quit throwing it around like candy. Sorry for your experience. Hope sh*t on this board gets better .... lol

Hi. I don't think we've met. I'm Charmed, and I think I love you.
Very well put.
what nice boards?
U will find snark wherever you go. Remember this is a message board, you can't go by facial expressions only by the written word.
ummmm! Cupcakes
Thanks! It was the 101 post about no symptoms yesterday if your interested, glad I didn't leave just yet ha!
In my experience, when I've lurked on those boards, they're more...tolerant...than the Bump generally is.

Mmm.... Coke. And amen.
Well, I am a very lovable lady.
And thank you. This whole thing really does seem like someone taking Pepsi's formula personally. I mean, I do take it personally, but those Pepsi people have always had it out for me. Always.
im on them as well and the way I look at it whether you are in real life or on a message board u are going to get snark.
The blue can always makes me shudder too. We refuse to support restaurants with Pep products. GBCRWPP
My feeeeelings are so hurted right now. Wahhhh!
I'm going to babycenter where my love of Pepsi will be validated and appreciated. And everyone will agree Pepsi is best.
GBCB!!!
Haha
the same could be said if you don't like that someone has posted about something tbat has already been covered. don't respond. the respnses sometimes are just mean spirited. i mean someone called her an "attention getting whore" is that really necessary??
i bet she wouldn't have said that in the street. good thing for virtual walls.
Pepsi!!!
Live free or die!
I swore I wasn't going to post on this thread because it is just silly - but this is just bloody brilliant.
XOXO!
It's "attention whore" (AW) and more than one person wrote it. It means that she is attention seeking, not that she is a whore who is getting attention (which is how you phrased it).
I'm curious as to how this would even be a scenario IRL? A girl jumping into a room full of women having conversations she didn't agree with just to yell about how she didn't like everyone? I'm certain if that happened IRL someone would have something to say about that.

Personally, I am glad some good is coming of this. I am finally seeing everyone true colors. There were some Pepsi drinkers in my very midst! I come here for unequivocal cola support! I find that, as a pregnant woman, life is one non-stop laugh riot and I get enough entertainment from my every day life. I don't need nor do I want it here. I come to the boards to ask questions that Google cannot possibly answer like: I haven't had a drink in 4 hours, am I thirsty? Am I the only one since the dawn of time to burp after chugging a Coke? And, where can I rent a hall to accommodate my 75 guests for my Flavor Reveal party?
I find is disgusting that there are cola drinkers on this board who have different personalities than me. We all drink cola, we should all share a sense of humor and common goals. It is not as if there is any conceivable way for me to not read things that upset me.
Coke FTW!
O.O How DARE you like Coke instead of Pepsi!! We disagree! You must hate meeeeee!
Okay, now, in all seriousness, I've been on baby gaga boards, Cafe Mom boards, and Baby center boards, they're all FAR snarkier, and flat-out meaner than this board has ever been. If you can't deal with people not being all fluffy and lobey dobey about everything that you have to say, what are you doing on a message board? If you can't take a little snark, what are you doing on the internet?
Actually, AW generally stands for "Attention Wanted". But it 's the same general principle.
Not trying to brag or anything but, yeah I would say these things on the street. What of it?
I read it as 'attention wanted' in a post title, but in this thread it was being used as an adjective. The whore part automatically pops in my head when it's "name calling"
Sorry dear, you are not going to change the bump.
I also notice that OP is logged back on.
oh, please ......

I agree. Both sides are getting redundant. One side posts the same questions over and over again and the other side continues to post how annoyed they are about the constant re-posts of the same questions which then leads into a debate about being mean vs. being honest. If EVERYONE stopped posting the same question and posting about being mean vs. being honest, we could get back to talking about PREGNANCY or other topics.

Like the self restraint not to return to a board you so obnoxiously left? Yeah, this page won't get your account deleted.
Oh and baby daddys are for immature twats and teenagers. As an adult, I have a husband TYVM.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Why would I have to log off of the bump to enjoy my pregnancy? Also, why can't I enjoy tb and my husband at the same time? I don't have to be, how do I say it so you might be able to comprehend, " all up in his grill" in order to spend a quite evening at home with him.
I have a life. It's quite amazeballs. Too bad you arent spending time with your baby daddy. instead you are worrying what a bunch of women, that you don't like, have to say about your little drama filled exit post.

Wait I think I missed the point... Somebody please clear this up for me...
Isn't the point of a GBCB to leave? And NOT keep coming back and stirring up sh!t? I think I'm confused.
Darn you. Now I want a pepsi.
Why are you still talking? Go back to your ever exciting life!
Have you been over to TTGP? The snark runs strong with those ladies, and for the most part, hormones aren't even to blame. I love them so much
What you think is "rude" is actually just bluntness and honesty. I do not understand why grown women think they need to be talked to like children. People looking for someone to blow glitter up their vag probably should find another forum.
