**P/SAIF and P/SAL always welcome!**
Ok in short (see badge below) some of the Newbie's thought it would be fun, just plain old fun to form a group of newbies who promised not to ask the stpid questions of late like "how do I check CM, am i pregnant? or how to you work this OPK?"
As there are other unofficial groups.. ie the sexpots or BWIC, we were just having fun. We were also looking for BFPB buddies as most of the regulars have one. We were just trying to meet other newbies and have a little fun.
Apparently this cause some kind of crazy uproar.. all I have to say is thank god I missed it becasue that thread of complaining & snark by all (newbs & regs) was a waste of internet space.
There was a lovely comment from Glow that basically summed it up.. (paraphrasing)
Who gives a fvck what badges people have.
It was just for fun... fun fun fun!

I saw that thread. And I agree with POF that you already have a "newb" badge. It's under your post count.
But do whatever you want, it just seems very elementary to me. And some badges ARE a problem, especially when there are half naked women in them. That's why people give a fvck.

Well since I don't have a naked lady badge then I am fine. And when all the posting of the "sex pot badges" was going on... loads of people thought it was an awesome idea... yes they are large and should be made smaller and people should think about the content (ie mostly naked ladies may be innapropriate for every to have open should they be at work)
Like I said we were just having some fun..
We are sorry if out 1" x1" plain badge offends people... its not like we have a giant penis or vaginas on our screens.

I don't think this post needed a recap of the other post! That is a bit of a newb thing to do.
What I need is a badge that says "I am always behind and trying to catch up with the posts and I miss all the fun so someone needs to text me when funny stuff happens"?
And some badges ARE a problem, especially when there are half naked women in them. That's why people give a fvck.
Just to play devil's advocate then, why do so many regs get their panties in a twist if someone says BD over sex. It's the same thing (just not picture form),

I was being polite so she didn't have to waste her time reading 3 pages of "regs" & "newbs" snark at each other. I figured a mini post would save her time. From other posts I have read of her she seems like a nice person.
I was raised to be polite and helpful...

I don't know, I've never gotten my panties twisted over that. I don't think that is comparable to a picture of a sexy naked lady though.

I'm not going to get into a snark fest with you, but I am pretty sure Sare's post was more of a funny comment and not a request for a recap. You are right, she is a very nice person. I guess your passive aggressive statement is that I am neither nice, nor was a raised to be polite and helpful. ?You told me!

FBM, she was just trying to be nice. I've seen her around a bunch lately, I really don't believe she was trying to be snarky to you.

I apologize... I thought Sare question was real.. Again I was just being polite and I was not making any indication that you are not polite or helpful, As you don't know me or have never spoken to me, I was just hoping you would see where I was coming from... that I was just trying to be polite.
As you can see it is easy to miscontrue someones tone & intent in a message as I apparently misunderstood Sare's and you misunderstood mine.

Re: Can I make an announcement?
Wait. Before you run let me make you a "I peed in my pants" badge.
Badges for EVERYTHING!
Whaaa? No.
Only if I can have one that said "I was there when ABC made Mandee pee her pants."
Stupid of me to go for a run! I missed all of the fun!
