Ollyoxenfreed: There are often call outs on this board and most boards on thebump. I think everyone can relate to the call outs and actually to most people they are appreciated because it "clears the air" so to speak. Here's the thing. If you are going to call out, call out using your own name. Using an AE does absolutely nothing for anyone.
It is true that there are "oldies" who are closer to others, just as there are "newbies" who are closer to each other. It is just the way things work. I consider myself one of the "oldies" or olders maybe is a better word because I have been here for a long time, but I can honestly say that I have never done any ass-kissing and I think it's the wrong word to describe anything that happens here. Why can it not just be that people agree with each other?!
I hate that this happened today and yesterday because it looks bad for new girls who are hurting, hurting from a loss that is really fresh and are looking for support from other women who have gone through the very same thing. So to all of the girls who have been lurking, please to not allow these things that have been said scare you from posting here. We are a very close knit community and care very deeply for everyone, we want to be your support system and need your support. So please join in and don't let silly things as these scare you away from that.
ETA: thanks so much for the one star, I love them. ![]()

As a pretty new person here, I just want to say to the "oldies" please don't go hide in 6+
I'm sure there is some truth to the same questions getting annoying, but I like you and I want you all to stay here too 
And all my fellow newbies and those in between, I agree with PPs. This is such a great place and I hope no one has been scared off by this stupid (though, admittedly, entertaining at times) drama.
