The PL board
There is a woman that lost her baby at 15 weeks. She delivered her baby & has a pic of her son wrapped up in her siggy.?
Well, apparently she caused quite the stir with her siggy. Now while I wouldn't put that pic in my siggy or even think about wanting to see my baby at 15 weeks, it's no one's business how she deals with her grief. And if people don't like what they see, they can choose not to look.?
Anyway, a lot of women were very disrespectful to her and downright mean, including some sal women.?
With that said, when I had my loss I was so grateful that everyone was so supportive and so understanding of what I was feeling and dealing with. And when/if I posted something that someone didn't agree with, no one was ever mean or disrespectful and I assumed that PL was a humbling experience for anyone unfortunate to go through it.?
So that's why I'm disappointed that the pl board seems to have changed in such a way.
I could be very wrong. I realize that as I don't frequent the board anymore. I only saw the post because some women on SAL were discussing it and were offended by her pic and it piqued (is that correct?) my interest. ?

Re: The PL board
Where as I do find that siggy pic quite distrubing, especially if you are not expecting it, and don't know it's there, I agree that everyone can put what they want in their siggys.
My understanding......I think a lot of the people causing drama are not regulars on PL. they are from married life, or other boards and felt the need to cause and continue to cause drama. I believe it stemmed from the person who posted about having a backyard buriel, and then the siggy pic was in a response and that sent the tidal wave of negativity over to PL.
PL was my safe haven when I felt that no else understood, and I do feel for the girls that are being flamed for their decisions.
I wish the bump would bring back the block feature so that it would be safe to view posts without having to see a siggy that might be upsetting.
Like I said, I could very easily be wrong about the board, but that's just what I saw. I don't know who's a regular on it anymore and who's not.?
And I agree that everyone and anyone can post what they want, but I have always known these "safe" boards to have women who are able to voice their opinions in a respectful manner and that's not what I found there and I was quite disappointed.?
I too wish that they would bring back the block feature.?
Totally agree!
While everyone has a right to their own opinion, the flamers over there did not handle the situation with tact at all (but then again ppl like that really dont have tact to begin with)! And it was trolls or posters from other boards that do not even frequent that board! I believe they probably look for threads to flame and C&P on their own boards b/c they are pathetic and bored.
If someone is truely offended by it there are other ways of handling it. I would never criticize her for displaying that pic but I personally do not want to see it in her siggy. But i would never judge or flame her for it or call her out on it. To each their own ya know?
