We come in peace

1stcomeslove2 · August 2010

I know everyone would love nothing more to move on from todays B.S. but I just wanted to say one thing-There are newbies here who come in peace!

Please do not lump all us into this crap that is going on. We just want learn from you and be part of the group. We are not part of this" divide and conquer oh so cruel world" sh!t. I think you are all amazing women!

I think its obvious who wants to actively participate and be "a part" of the board, and who just wants to create BS drama. I don't think we'll lump everyone into the dumba$$ category....so no worries!

Luna's right. And just to add, there's also a huge difference between an 'oldie' and a 'meanie'.

Welcome to the board!

Welcome to the board!

totally. I'm a newbie. And I can almost guarentee there are some who would put me in the deeeeeouche group. But I have been in touch with some really awesome ladies on this board who have been around for a while, and they were wonderful. A word to the wise... as a newbie if you don't agree with something that's said, say nothing at all. I opened my mouth one too many times. anyway, from one newbie to another, I hope to see you around for only a short time.

The reason people put you in that group is because of your attitude. Even in a nice post like this you can't help but make a rude sarcastic comment. You can pretend that's not what you meant but anyone with a brain will see right through you.

To all the newbies, we love differences of opinions on this board and I post here so that I can get those varied views. What we don't love is when someone doesn't protect the feelings of our friends.

I don't know if this was directed at me or not. I stayed out of the drama yesterday, but was glad to see some amends were made. There is a lot of honesty on this board and that's great, it's the brutal part that needs to stay out in most cases, IMO.

I am no longer a newbie though. I've been here since November of last year. I am pretty much on 6+, so I'm sure I missed your intro post. Welcome to the board!

ok. I was new. I was not considered a friend yet, nor had I developed anything close to a friendship with anyone. so the "protect your friends" thing is out the window. Yesterday, the way I saw it from an outsider point of view, is that this woman who had a concern was the one in need of protection. After reading, and figuring all this out, I see that she needed to go elsewhere with her question/concern. and I DO see how you and the others were protecting this board and the people in it. Truly (I guess i come across as sarcastic, but you gotta understand I'm not right now, nor was I in the post above.)

My view yesterday was that maybe this board should be just a bit nicer when others or "goats" come in and disturb. She was in the wrong place, she was told nicely to go elsewhere, then she got s$itty. My point was only that after she got nasty with you guys, why did it continue? Why doesn't it just stop once it get's really nasty. You have my support in that big long drawn out post until the "oldies" got nasty back, again and again and again. that's all I'm saying. So there's my difference of opinion, I hope you are able to see it simply as that. b/c I am a newbie here, and I am struggling, and I will not be leaving. So let me try to get the swing of things before I'm cast into that boat.

Seriously, I hope we can get over the magpiebride fiasco.

no no! I agreed with your thoughts on oldies not being cast as meanies. And to your latest comment I also agree with the honest vs brutal. I seem to be catching on rather quick. MC/PL is such a soft place to land, here you have to get back to your tough skin, and I'm just still working on that. My loss was just 3 weeks ago. I actually don't recall seeing your name yet in these posts over the last two days, but thank you for the welcome. I really appreciate it. I hope you get to graduate from this type of board really soon.

Thanks again.

Okay, I didn't say anything yesterday about your posts and was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt because I saw another post where a lightbulb seemed to come on about the karma comment.

I have to say though, seeing as though you didn't know I was an 'oldie', how can you make the assumption it the was 'oldies' coming back and getting nasty. And honestly, even if you felt that way, I don't think making a blanket statement like that is going to help you at all. If you have a problem with someone, you should address it, not make assumptions and generalizations.

Like I said, the honesty on this board is great. Nobody wants smoke blown up their a$$ about this process. Are there times people cross the line? Yes, but I think it's rare and it's usually when a goat or a driveby gets snarky when they are told to go somewhere else. There is a big difference between being straightforward with an opinion and bashing people. And If someone is bashing an entire group on this board, then they are going to get called out.
