Starfish, I see that everyone is just talking in circles here, but think of it this way: even in real life, it takes some effort and getting to know people before you get support. Same here. Put in your time and get to know some of us (instead of jumping right out with the 'bltch' and 'bitter' comments) and you'll see we're a great group of ladies.
Thank you Sulfa for being compassionate. I actually have been posting here since February. Maybe not a ton, but at least once a day. My problem is that people are just so quick to be rude to one another.
I clearly missed something.... but I have a feeling that I would rather not know.
In short, starfish is a douche canoe. There, all caught up.
Wow. Rude much? Because i said some people here are rude and bitter. Truth hurts honey.
Here is what I don't get, you can call us our for being rude, but don't you see that you are rude too?? What makes you SO much better then us. Personally I would rather be a biitch then a hypocrite, because that is such a classy personality trait too.
You might not want to be talking about classy. Just sayin'.
I never said I was classy, get your facts straight. But in the end, you don't get it at all and for that, I am sorry.

Get your facts straight. The "drama" started when iluvlabs started being rude in another post and brought it into that one. Get. over. it.
I clearly never stated where the "drama" started. I just pointed out a portion of the "drama". Thanks anyways for trying to make me look like an a$$. Open mouth, insert foot.
I think it's safe to say that you should probably just find another TTGP board. No one really cares what you have to say.
Peace.

I've been MIA, so I'm trying to catch up! Everyone has off days, where they say things they don't necessarily mean. I thought maybe yesterday was an off day, but it is continuing today. Maybe you should take a look at this page about how to treat others. You get back what you give in life.
Instead of calling out the board as snarky and bitter, take some time to lurk a bit, and NOT just on the "OMG BFP SQUEEEEE" posts from people nobody knows. If you would take some time to get to know these ladies, you'll see a lot of support and compassion here. However, if you don't like the atmosphere of this board, there are a lot of other places you could go.

Oh Rachel, kinda a newbie yourself too, huh? You must have missed this when you were "catching up" but I have been here for 8 months. Much longer than your less than one month. I actually know the flow of the board. And that some ladies here are snarky and rude.I didnt ask for rainbows up my ass, but a little compassion would be nice.

Yet, she is still more awesome and knows more than you do. Wow. How does that work?
GTFO.

Wow. Now who's being snarky?
If you actually knew the flow of this board, you would understand why a person or a post gets flamed. Length of time since you created an account and lurked or posted one a day doesn't mean crap in so far as getting to know the board. Clearly, Rachel, in her short time here, has learned the "flow" a hell of a lot better than you.
At this point, you've got a couple of choices. Figure out that you might have had something to do with this drama, get over it, and stop arguing. Or GTFO. It's really that simple.

Ok I'll bite. Compassion, eh? Maybe you missed the outpouring of compassion for sulfa as everyone wished her luck this past week. Maybe you have missed the thoughts and prayers for those who got a BFP but had an unfortunate and heartbreaking misccarriage and had to come back to us and were welcomed with open arms and a lot of kinds words. Maybe you've missed all the "GTKYFB" posts where people actually get to know you and learn about each other. And maybe, just maybe if you showed some compassion to others here instead of being rude, you'd get some compassion back and people would care that you O'd.
It doesn't matter how long you've been here. "Newbie" is just a label, a state of mind. Yeah, I haven't been here that long, but I've taken some time to read and learn about these ladies and I know that they are a great bunch of people.
And lastly, if you really and truly are consistently bothered by someone's posts, block them. It takes 3 seconds. Or just ignore it.

I am Oing either today or tmo, not too sure though. DH and I DTD last night.
I am not temping, just going by CM and my regular 28 day schedule. With DS it took 2 cycles so I am not trying to stress and just have fun with it this time around. I sincerely wish you the best of luck and I hope that in 2 weeks we will both get our BFP's

All right, you pulled me back in, but those who show compassion get compassion. Why should be care about you, when you can't put forth any compassion for us? What goes around comes around. Ok I am done now.

And keep hanging out with your "internet groupie friends". Real cool ladies.
I made one comment and it obviously struck a cord with some of you. You know you are snarky and rude.
Again, the bump never forgets, however if you would have been cool about it and rebounded apologized it would have been cool. But no, you have to make it worst and be rude right back, so you are just as rude as we are. I know I am a biitch and I own it.
and BTW, these women are more then my "internet groupie friends" but real genuine friends who I love and care about.
First of all, I have nothing to apologize over. I made a silly post about silly excuses and some of you were snarky.
Second of all, "real genuine friends" that you made on an internet message board. Niiiice.
Well OP you are just a peach aren't you? Funny, all of us that you don't like are the girls that have friends on here. where are your friends? oh wait. you have been nothing but rude so you don't have any. Sucks to be you.

Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
After 2 years & 2 losses, our little man arrived 8-2011.
I wondered if people were still even really reading this anymore, so I thought what a better way to find out then throw a little ear worm out.

Are you Momachama?
I would love for you to point out where I was rude. I'm not the one who called people bitter in a post where no one was even being rude at all.

No. This is a *public* board.

Hey- I have an idea starfish and chama!! Why don't BOTH of you GTFU. And since you are probably the same person, that wouldn't be too hard.
I totally agree Moma! Thanks and good luck to you too!

Thanks! No worries - you have a little babe at home to take care of too!
