Flameful Confession

OK...so maybe I have 2 flameful confessions.  Lucky me!

1.  I don't get paging people to point out how good their chart looks and that you hope they get a BFP and can't wait for an update.  I'd be willing to bet good money that if they DO get a BFP they'll be sure and post to let us know. 

2.  This one kind of goes along with my first one (this is not directed at anyone) but it is possible that you could "out" someone (and their BFP) before they were ready to announce it.  I mean 2 (or maybe 4) posts below this happened to someone.  They announced their BFP in a page.  Let them announce it when they are ready 

OK--I'm ready...

    I don't really agree with your confessions. But don't find them flameworthy really. Smile

    If you page someone to let them know that you think their chart looks good, I think it's meant as encouragement for that person. You get excited for each other and want them to know that you care. They don't have to answer and announce their BFP in that post, they can PM you and announce it when they are ready. I don't see a problem with those pages.

  • I agree. This is why PM's exist. If you are talking to one person in specific, then why not use PM?
  • Good point.  I'd be pissed if someone outed me.

    ETA: and I really don't see the point of a post telling someone they have PM.  I mean, what if they're not on the board at that time to see it?  Don't people just check their PM every once in a while?

    I didn't before I became mod. Now I check once a day to see if there is anything that needs attention.

  • Maybe this will be flamed, but I think some girls want to build up their 'connection' with other girls- and they think that is a good way to do it. (I am guilty of 'hoping and wishing someone well when I know they are testing soon).  With that said, I completely agree with what you are saying

  • TB needs an instant message feature. Unless they already do...and if so, teach me!
  • No crap.  The way your chart look doesn't mean anything and it can only make people feel MORE shitttty when it doesn't turn out to be anything.

    And people are douches.

  • If you're referring to my post to Fuzy21...which I'm certain you are, maybe you should REREAD the post. I said I'll be looking forward to a BFP announcement soon. I didn't say she had to reply and tell me if she got a BFP ASAP! I was just letting her know I was thinking about her and was pulling for you.

    Some of you ladies are really on edge this morning. I wasn't "outing" anyone. This is a public board and it's my choice to PM someone or not.

    Chill.

    No flames at all here, but it doesn't bother me a bit. I think it's more about chatting with someone about how excited you are for them etc.

    She didn't have to post in that thread about her BFP if she didn't want to.... she could have just ignored it for now and came out when she wanted to so, which I think many people do.  

    Thank you Papps, that's exactly what I meant.

    I'm not on edge at all.  This was in no way directed at you (as stated in my OP).  I was simply making a confession and no where in my OP did I mention PMing anyone as an alternative.  Big Smile

    I think you can just click on the persons profile and send it there, though the way I do it is just at the bottom of their replies on the board, there's a "contact +" button, and you can send a pm there.

    you can PM people by clicking on the contact button under a post they make or if you look on the left hand side and go down the list there is a clicky that says check private messages under 'my boards.'

    LOL Whatever Confused this whole post is hilarious. You can say that it wasn't directed at me but we all know it was.

    No, no where in your OP mentioned PMimg but other people did mention it. That's why I didn't quote your OP b/c I wasn't just talking to you...I was responding to many people.

    PPF, you're right people are douches
