A few of y'all (and I am not talking about the OP) replied that several of us are "mean and angry" (that was Gracein CA) and "a$$es" (that was Nickert). And some other things were said also.
Kinda rubs me the wrong way. I may not get along with everyone on this board but I don't think anyone is mean. I think we all offer information and advice and sometimes some snark.
I think you two girls should man up and say who you are talking about. Or shut up. Just my opinion.
The comments I put in bold are rather hypocritical and kind of help my point.
And if you read what I said. I said there are some and there are. Just look at the replies that come along that are nasty which around here people prefer to call "snarky", PIP's that are rude, the various that show up, sarcastic comments, etc. And how often does anyone say anything about? [this I actually find rather sad]
Really there is no need for it. Instead just keep comments or pictures to yourself and move on.
Apparently "If you can not say something nice don't say anything at all" does not apply when some people are online or maybe they need the online attention and belittling to help them feel better?

That was my first thought, could be all wrong though. and again I apologize if this had been said, there were lots of comments I didn't read... also this is a P&R gotta go to a bday thing with a friend... I always miss this stuff lol

It's hard to miss you if you never leave.
Again, I never said I was leaving for good....why would I do that...there are some normal people on here too

Like I said in the other thread, I'm not thin-skinned so even if I can observe the behavior, doesn't mean I am going to sit in the corner rocking back and forth and crying. Some members here are ridiculous with their anger and their whining. "ZOMG alert the authorities someone posted another CD1 thread you are an idiot and here's a picture depicting how stupid you are ha ha ha LOL LOL pile on pile on pile on." How many of those posts are there? Even more than the nuisance posts they complain about. Overall, I think there's a lot of useful feedback and information here, so I stick around. Once in a while I'll even make a snarky comment when someone is very clearly just trolling ("I had sex eighteen times but it was 2 years ago am I preggers?"). But when people are cruel, I just ignore the asswipes. Are there more asswipes here than on other message boards? In my experience: YES. But I can tune most of it out. That's what I suggested the OP in that thread do as well. My take-away from this board is more positive than not.
As for whom I'm talking about...who cares? What's the point of saying, "You're kind of a jerk, have you ever tried to be a pleasant human being? Do you terrorize people in your daily life as much as you do online, or is your online persona especially cranky? Does your husband have to deal with this all of the time?" That person is not going to change their behavior as a result of me saying anything, so I simply ignore it. Not to mention that calling them out individually every time (and there are a lot of times) would just feed into their persecution complex.
The personalities and the dynamics here are fascinating. There are a few Queen Bees, and a handful of folks with really weak personalities who only have a sense of belonging if they are contributing to the pile on. I don't think those people are bad, I just think they're easily influenced. I've noticed this pattern here more than on other message boards. It is what it is I guess. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Sorry but I took this:

Fail? Really? It was an opinion/interpretation of what you said therefore can't be a fail, just incorrect.
