To all the Mean Bumpies... (Vent)
I have been perusing the boards this morning.. and so far, I have come across a couple of VERY angry bumpies who think they can just say whatever they want to me... Sorry, NOT the case. And I realize that if you were sitting here in front of me and NOT hiding behind a computer screen, you probably would not say half the things you post to me... and with that being said.. I think you people need to stop pretending that you are tougher than you really are and back off, because please believe, although I may look all sweet and innocent, I can, and HAVE held my own against evil ladies such as yourselves... and more times than not, I was not the one who walked away crying.
What makes this even more aggravating, I get attacked by these creatures when I am trying to stick up for someone else..
Did I mention that I am a 10 yr season ticket holder for the oakland raiders and I sit front row in the black hole?? I think that says it all 
If I can hold my own there, I can hold my own anywhere!! lol maybe I should post this in my bio! haha

Re: To all the Mean Bumpies... (Vent)
You tell 'em May Momma!
And that whole Raider thing... well that proves a whole lot of... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh... NOTHING!
When you say stupid things, expect to be told. I'm the same person in real life that I am on Bump life. Probably tamed down a little on here so the bump-ban hammers don't come down too hard.
You should really get a grip.
LOL by the way you responded, it sounds like you have never been to a Raider Game.. so only speak of what you know. And since this wasn't even aimed towards you.. why are you so upset?
I've heard about this so called bad-ass section of the Raiders fans, but that means nothing about the way you handle real life. Obviously a few posts on a message board bothered you, so you aren't that tough.
its called a VENT for a reason.. I am venting... but I will pray for you since you have now decided to put yourself into the "I attack people for no reason" category.
I am just really confused, because looking through your posts from today (because you can do that now), everyone has been really nice and supportive to you except for one post where a couple people just didn't agree with you: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/46964456.aspx
The only anger I see if from you. I am just curious as to where this is coming from.
This. I noticed the same thing.
I was just thinking this!
Here you go OP, merry Christmas and welcome to the bump!
Its not just from today.. although that chick did irritate me.. Just the way people talk to each other on here in general is nuts.. There have been times where I have posted things on here to be helpful, and people are just mean for no reason. I have also seen posts from other people where they are attacked for no reason. Treat others as you would want to be treated.. that is clearly not something that these ladies follow on these boards.
Awwww it sounds like someone is in need of some support.
Seriously, OP, don't get your knickers in a wad over random comments on an internet message board.
Honesty is harsh.
If you can't take it, stay off the interwebs.

Its the Bump my dear. The ladies here don't sugar coat things, (actually its rather tame all things considering.) But if you don't like it or are not comfortable on here there are many other parenting forums; Baby-gaga and baby center to name a few. I just love how no one here blows rainbows up my butt and I know I will get an honest reply on things, not just what I want to hear.
And no amount of complaining, whining or "venting" from someone with only 115 posts is going to change that, so either hit the red x or ignore the comments you don't like. There is also a lovely little block feature you can use. But no one is keeping here. That may be harsh or mean to you, but its the honest truth. Better learn now or you will be miserable.
You've sat in the front row with a bunch of jacka$$es for 10 years rooting for a crappy team. Congratulations?
The only way I can understand how that prepares for the internet is that you're used to getting picked on.
Yaaaaawn.
I want some cookies.
Spot on.
The whole "I came here for support and all you turned out to be a bunch of mean b*tches" song and dance is one that's been seen many, many times. If you're not comfortable with the environment, no one's holding a gun to your head and telling you that you must be here. You can contribute when and where you choose to and you can also back out of posts and boards you're not comfortable with. But the "I just need to rant about how nasty you are" rant/vent isn't going to do anything but bring a sh*tstorm on yourself, so you may want to rethink your approach or your experience here will most likely be less than PnR.

all this says is you have terrible taste in football teams. It does not make you badass, if that's what you're going for
Their long snapper is pretty good. Of course, I say that mostly because his parents live next door to my mother.
LOL. Prayer as a threat/insult. Classy!
Sorry I have to agree with the OP here.
I came to these forums looking for some help, this is my first pregnancy, and I'm 40. This isn't old hat to me, as I'm sure it's not for many of the women here.
All I found in general is a bunch of childish bitches that still think they're in high school. You post your personal experience with something or what you've heard when asking around, you get bitched at for one reason or another (Tip: Don't ever mention college funds or in home daycare, you'll get ripped for being able to afford it).
The last few posts I just deleted and I tend not to post at all anymore. I read a post here and there and that's it.
The entire board is a farce, it's not a place to get the "Inside scoop on pregnancy" it's a place where women gather to pick on each other or give fake support for stupid baby names.
It's the internet. THE INTERNET. Not everyone is going to agree with you. Just move on. Seriously, it's just a bunch of pixels, don't let it get you all upset. So someone doesn't agree with you and is 'mean' to you. Who cares? You don't know these people in person, so don't let them get you all worked up.
I agree that sometimes people can be 'mean', but you know what I do? IGNORE IT and read the next post. TA DA, drama averted.
Don't waste your time with the board being useful in any way. Come on to enjoy the stupidity these women provide with their "oh so significant thoughts" and leave it at that.
I was feeling down today, and this made me laugh. Thanks for the pick-me-up, OP!
We've had season tickets to the Bengals for about six years now. Does that make me scary too?
only if the opposing team is scared to go to your games.. Highly doubt it. But glad I made you laugh.
and I am only responding to this one because it truly bothered me.. I don't use prayer as a threat or insult.. I think the person should be happy that I am going to pray for goodness in their life.. I pray for people that I think need guidance or help.. (including myself lol). But thanks for misinterpreting it.
Goodness Gracious people. Let a woman vent! We are all hormonal and sometimes we need to let it out! Its doesn't mean ya need to get nasty with her. If you don't want to read it, then don't read it.
I am a serious debater in person and online, but even I agree the world wide web could be a little nicer when it comes to online forums. I mean it not really necessary to clog the web with insults.
OP, I have 2 stepsons, and their uncle actually PLAYS for the Raiders. That makes me about as qualified as you are, to deem myself a badass based on that information alone.......meaning, that you aren't one, simply because you spent some money for the last 10 years to stand with other fans who also deem themselves 'badasses.' Get over yourself, and realize that, as others have mentioned, it's the freaking internet, and if you don't like what you see, feel free to click that tiny little red box up in the top right of your screen with an 'X' on it.....although you are providing some good entertainment for some of us, so maybe I take that last part back.....
Coming on here attacking random women for being honest and truthful, doesn't make you a saint, and if you're trying to prove something to everyone, you're definitely going about it the wrong way. So there's my 'honesty and truthfulness.' Take it however you want, but don't think you'll be hurting my feelings in the process. I can take what I dish out too, as can most of the women you're throwing out 'psuedo-insults' to.
I don't attack people for being honest.. I really don't even "attack" at all.. but I DO stick up for people who are being attacked for no reason. These message boards are here to help people and give advice.. and it seems to me that some people are here only to humiliate others and make them feel bad for asking their questions.
Trust me, there is nothing that you can do or say to make me feel bad.. but I do NOT tolerate cyber bullying in any shape or form. There are certain people on these boards that are bullying others for whatever reason.. and I do not stand for that. There are also genuine people on these boards who are here to help others.. and if that is not your goal, then why be here??? If you want to make fun of people go to yahoo answers and have fun.. but there are people here who are pregnant, hormonal, some even alone with no family, that want unbiased answers.. not smart A$$ remarks or even get attacked because they posted a question.
I don't deem myself a bad-ass just because I like the Raiders, I just want to prove a point that I can hang with the big dogs... but I am happy to know that their uncle plays for the Raiders
I stand behind my team at all times.
I understand this is the internet.. and that is why I am doing this... I want people to see how ridiculous this crap is and just stop being mean for no reason. But also, I want people to see how ridiculously funny and immature these mean bumpies can be.. and this post proved that!
thank you
I am glad at least one person got the point of the (VENT) put into the subject line.. you knew I was going to vent, so why lash out?? 
bahahahahah and yet you posted this thread. thanks.
OP, all you accomplished with this post is showing everyone what a lameass douche you are. Oh, and don't bother praying for me. I am a lost cause.
wow, you really deserve the mommy of the year award for name calling.. how proud your parents must be..
The people that are getting 'bullied' as you call it, should realize that yes, while The Bump boards, as well as other boards provide a great amount of info for those who are pregnant, hormonal, alone, etc., it is also, plain and simple, first and formost, a FORUM for discussions. That means that not everyone is required by law to play nice at all times, and every single person on here is free to 'take their ball and go home' if they can't 'hang with the big dogs' on The Bump.
As a previous post mentioned, medical advice should primarily come from A DOCTOR first, before anyone else. People should realize that Google is there for a reason, and that if they don't like the advice they are given, they can either call the 24-hour line that MOST doctors have, or they can turn on their computer and Google their issue. Some of us have been on here long enough to see the same questions asked over and over, and so it gets old after a while.
And again I say, claiming that you can 'hang with the big dogs' simply because you bought tickets to a special section for a mediocre football team for the last 10 years proves nothing to me, or anyone else on here. All it shows me is that you have no leg to stand on other than trying to prove yourself to be a bada$$, which quite frankly, no one really believes that you are.
