Do you remember who gave you your first flaming and what it was for? Do you talk to them now?

Re: s/o Being flamed...
Mine was from GhostMonkey. I defended a poster who got flamed for using the term "preggo" and I jumped in saying she could use whatever term she wanted. GM told me I was a real bada$$ with all of my 4 posts and to STFU lol
I still cringe over. Preggo? Really? ::headdesk::

One of my first posts on 1st try in 2009 I asked about ideas on how to get out of drinking at my brothers wedding. (My brother, sister-in-law, and I frequent the bars together so it would be strange if I wasn't drinking) I also didn't want to steal the wedding thunder by having everyone know I was pregnant.
I don't remember the names but man, did I get flamed. Apparently if your friends and family ask questions about you not drinking then they are bad friends and family. And I was a bad person for wanting to cover it up.
The flaming did not scare me away obviously. I
the bump and all the snark and support

I can't remember what is was about, but lurky was my first flamer. And now there are times that I actually like her.
You just have to realize that all of these people are just internet strangers making judgements about your life that they know nothing about. NOBODY has all of their shiit together in their own lives so that is why it is best not to judge others. But I would rather strangers on an internet board judge me than people IRL.

Aww, I'm sorry. I was a little harsh. But I'm glad you aren't editing the posts anymore. That irritated the shiit out of me, because then it made my post look stupid haha.
I only remember being truly flamed once. I posted a poll asking if people thought HappyAardvark was an annoying PW. I remember catching a ton of shiit from Lyse and Papps for it.
LMAO I remember that.

I think I am too. I may have had some debates but I can't recall ever really being flamed
::wipes sweat from brow::
I got flamed from a person on my city board. I confessed in an FFFC thread that I was going through this irrational phase where I hated all pregnant women. I explained that it was because I was super jealous of them and that I knew it was stupid, but I couldn't shake the feeling.
It so happened that there were three women in that thread who's FFFC was "OMFGBBQ SQUEEE, I had unprotected sex and I might be pregnant!!!" I didn't see those posts before I posted mine. This chick got all up in arms over my comment, but wouldn't call me out for real, she just kept being passive aggressive. She finally got called out for her lame attempt at calling me out, but it still sucked. It sucks worse that I know her IRL and after that altercation, I can't stand her.
The only Easter Bunny I can get behind.

Yep, a couple years ago when I first started on the blended board. I basically posted (without lurking first) about BM (bio mom) being a nutso crappy parent. I was flamed to the high heavens for thinking we (DH and I) were better parents than her when we had him less than half the time and no (for me) bio kids. It was a few months before I came back and I'm now a regular there.
Oh, and it's now common knowledge on the board that BM is a little looney
Oh, I was also "flamed" by MrsMichelleB plenty of times (and one-starred *tear*) but in my mind, her flames don't count because she was/is crazycakes.
I am thinking back to all the people I have flamed and I actually feel a little bad about some of them. The cat piss thread was pretty epic, but completely out of control haha.

I've never been flamed either (that I remember). I was reported once for being a big, fat meanie to a newb before though.

My first flaming was actually on TheKnot in 2005! I don't remember by who, but I was so upset about my SIL being unreasonable about the bridesmaid dress I picked out.
Long story, but it was over picking out a bridesmaid dress nearly a year before my wedding and a pissed SIL.
I can't remember if I have ever been flamed on TheBump. I wouldn't call it a flaming, but I remember at one point when people got BFPs they would have like 20 people paging them in a single page. After that happened to a few people over the course of a few days I made a PSA about how unnecessary it was. JME (who happened to be one of these people with a zillion pages for a BFP) jumped all over my case for being not being supportive of her BFP.
The one and only time I was openly "flamed" was by Ghost Monkey (biitch :-P ) It wasn't that bad, though. Probably doesn't even really count as being "flamed".
I defended someone who was feeling down about it being CD1/not being pregnant after cycle 2 or 3. That person was being flamed and given the whole "It could take a healthy couple a year.." speech. Another poster and I stuck up for her saying that no matter how long you've been trying, it can sting, and that she was entitled to her feelings. GM called me a newb. We went back and forth a bit, and a Bumpie friend of hers (don't remember who) came in to join forces with her. I PMd her to ask what I said that was so "newbie" and she told me off via PM.
No,
we are FB friends now. lol
We may or may not have been a little overboard in our late night drunk flaming of ILoveYouForever...
MUAH!
Well hello darling!
love your siggy!
