Just stick it out. If you prove you're a normal human being with at least 95% intelligence, you will do just fine. It's the others who don't make it so far.

Because much like girls in high schools, newbs get butt hurt over the stupidest things and then whine:
"WHY DON'T NO ONE LIKE ME?!!?!?"
Then, to compensate, they try too hard and everyone laughs at them.
The end.
Little Man (4 years old---holy cow) He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
So why are you specifically citing newbs? They are not all bad.
Thats my point..
Lots of people seem to have issues and maybe theres drama that I dont know about, but it can get pretty hostile. And I'm feeling catagorized just for being new.
Fwiw, other than this specific post, highlighting your apparently idiocy, I didn't even know you were alive. Newb or not.

I was wondering the same thing...very childish and immature they way some people act towards "newbs" (myself being one of course). I dont think the people coming here for information are the weirdos, its the negative "vets" (if you will) are the weirdos. I mean geesh, does it make you happy to be rude to others....I guess misery loves company!
Expecting our 16 year Dating Anniversary baby on 11/11/11!

I mean geesh. This is an excellent way to make a first impression as a newb. Well done.

Srsly. You might as well move on from this board. Is insulting people any way to gain acceptance?

Instead of using your time to fire up posts like this, why don't you just settle down, hang around, and learn the vibe?
Be a good newbie please. Don't make me embarrassed to share a province with you. lol.
I am relatively a newbie as well. But they don't hate me. Nor would I whine about it if they did. I lurked before I posted so I knew not to act like an idiot and to post with my big girl panties on.
If you stick around awhile, you will learn and come to love it.
I am feeling deja vu. This post occurs every so often and frankly, it drives me nuts.
If you just jump into conversations, are NORMAL and can laugh with the snark, there will be no issues. Calling everyone out and crying that your feelings are hurt will get you nowhere.
It's just like life. If you would join a group of friends, expect them to mold to fit YOU and then tell them all that you think they act stupid, would you be their favorite friend?

I think that's a well-hidden attempt at "barren and bitter".
You can STFU now.

I just stumbled over here as well from thenest. I was so excited to learn that there was a helpful forum for my specific needs now that I am no longer just a newlywed but an expecting mom. MY GOD! This is so harsh I just don't know if I can stay.
You people are so mean and such smartasses I don't know how you live with yourselves. I feel sorry for your husbands and your future children. I just wanted to go ahead and get that out there!
Like so immature.

I have to completely agree. I deal with enough bitchiness during the day, that I dont understand why people use so much effort to be rude.

Yup. Now I am embarrassed to share a province. Do tell me then please: Why are you using so much effort to point out said rudeness?

CathyMD ? Thanks!!! I know great job right. I don?t care what kind of impression I am making. This is THE most negative board that I?ve been on and I don?t plan on posting to any threads. I left high school a long time ago (so why would I want to be apart of this community)?.when are you leaving?
Auntisha ? Get a clue?One can easily read my first post here and see that I don?t plan on ever posting here again. Get over it, next?In regards to your 2nd post, nice wayto rationalize the immature behavior that seems to be so prevalent on this board.
Mrs_Liberty ? ?Barren and Bitter? I am glad you agree that these are the words that would best describe yourself ( I knew you would agree ). Good Job, I am so proud of you! And if you want me to STFU, you?ll have to make me. I hate internet thugs, its not cute?.but whatever, gangster? Bang on, are those the characteristics your going to teach your kids? How to be bullies. You might want to think twice about....
Buckin ? The girls are much nicer on the ?getting pregnant? board, so definitely check them out.
Grow up ladies??

Proof that people don't lurk enough.
Seriously. I've been around less than a year with no previous Knot or Nest experience until this board. I lurked for 6ish months, created an account last December, got flamed for being stupid once, and I stuck around. I don't get why lurking and the requisite getting flamed just one time is so hard for people to understand.

I'm not being rude here, but there are boards that are a lot less snarky.
Each board has a personality. If you don't like this one you just have to find one that works best for what you expect out of The Bump.
This board is probably not going to change just because a few people say its frequent posters are mean and inconsiderate. We've been told it a million times. It is just the nature of the board. There is nothing wrong with that.
Just like there are people in real life with whom you won't click. Same works for the Internet.
