While some of you ladies are always kind, helpful and thoughtful, others out there are mean spirited, inconsiderate of others' feelings, and lack compassion. We are all here with the same goal. And while some of us may be less knowledgable on the subject of TTC, it's not reason to act so cruel towards them. After all, they have come here looking to educate themselves on TTC, and receiving hurtful and or negative feedback is somewhat counter productive. They are looking for support and advice, and many of you are bluntly unsupportive. I fully understand now that this is the vibe of this forum and I am choosing to distance myself from such negativity. My husband and I are trying to concieve a child, so I will be focusing my attention on that instead of here, where negativity runs rampid. Hopefully some of you will learn how to be a little bit more compassionate towards others. I wish everyone on here luck on getting pregnant, and to have a happy and healthy pregnancy once you do. This best of luck message is even intended for those of you who are mean spirited. Perhaps it might inspire you to be a little nicer. GL to all :-)
I'm not a newbie to TB, but I am to TTGP and everyone I have "talked" with has been incredibly nice, knowledgable and supportive. I'm sorry that you have had the opposite experience. But, I would suggest not GBCB and just ignore those that are rude to you. Not everyone is going to be nice all of the time, it's the internet, kwim?

Yes, this is what my mind was thinking, but I couldn't get it worded the way I wanted to.

What I think is that they need therapy, I think they have allowed TTC to make them hate everyone.

For 1 thing, this is the internet so you taking something personally that someone else said makes me wonder if you don't have some personal issues going on in your life
2nd if being honest is being cruel then I'd rather be cruel than lie and say "Squeeeeeeee ya you're pregnant!!!!" to someone who asked a dumb question like "I'm 1 day late am I pregnant".
And finally...I don't know who you were so you won't be missed bye!

Ok first of all... why are you posting here when you're already KU? Secondly, this is the Internet and we're all a bunch of strangers (except for those who've become friends IRL) so taking offense at what you read on here is pointless. Plus this isn't a site to get warm fuzzies and rainbows...people on here are looking for information....not support, not therapy, information. Now, IME I've seen overwhelming support given to not only myself but to other women on here. So I think it's unfair of you to accuse us of being unsupportive, uncompassionate or negative. You should've lurked a bit longer to realize how ridiculous and "mean spirited" your statements are. Besides, IF we were these horrible creatures as your post seems to point out, do you think we would automaticaly start spewing rainbows and kitties just from your post? Please do us all a favor and spend a little bit longer lurking next time and I think you'll realize what awesome women there are on here..full of information and believe it or not we're not quite the monsters you make us out to be.

Good for you. The other boards are nicer. When you are KU and are no longer on TTGP, you will see a huge difference in how people are treated on the other boards. Hope we both get KU soon!

But MiniSteph... everyone knows that the internet is serious business.
umm? OP, are you distancing yourself from this board because of our negativity or perhaps it's because you're KU?
Also, you win the award for the lamest GBCB on TTGP ever considering you are already KU. So, here you go:
Alright, who is responsible for this GBCB?
Ha! I wonder if the girl who wrote the "lots of snarkiness" post realized this was going to get so much air time this week.
::The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar that even the ultimate fullfillment of that hope cannot fully erase:: Thomas Hardy
Hahahaha... oh my gosh.. the orignal post from the other day cracked me up. And I love that you quoted it.
i was wondering myself... my only two guesses based on context are:
great big cry baby
or
good bye cruel bump
but i definitely was wondering... and i generally do terribly at guessing acronyms on this board. hahaha

Why are you a liar? You should have been gone from this board a few days ago when you got your BFP.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
