Snarky, snarky, snarky

180miles · March 2012

Obviously we are all stressed and emotional but geez. There are so many rude posts I can't believe it. If you don't have anything nice to comment then don't. It ruins it for the people who genuinely want to offer/seek advice and support from others while TTC.

I understand it can be difficult to understand tone on a board, but seriously?

lulamagoo · March 2012

Eh, I like the snark when it is deserved and appropriate.

Being mean for the sake of being mean is not okay, but not everything should be sugar coated.

This wouldn't happen to be prompted by your other post....would it?

shaunalynne91 · March 2012

I agree with you. Everyone has questions and needs help. Not everyone knows the answer to every question or what to do, and some people are ridiculously rude.

Next time, please just let us know what response you want from your post so we can copy and paste it. Saves all of us a lot of time and nobody has to go through these ridiculous posts.

Did anyone else think of those Hefty garbage bag commercials when they read this post title?

my thoughts exactly...

you can only control you, trying to control an internet board/forum full of strangers would be like herding cats! GL with that...

What advice were you looking for though? Your SO/DH can run test, and apparently interpret them....so why are you asking a question that you should already know, otherwise you wouldn't be considering a blood test. Just wait...and pee on the stick...

Apple, that is a good point, I really was curious about the difference in time- (I never thought to ask him about it, although I will next time!) But I also just wanted to ask/state how weird it would be for your SO/DH to know you were pregnant before you! Just because it seemed kinda crazy to me.

I didn't mean to start a political argument and I certainly wouldn't question why people do the things they do. I don't always agree but I wouldn't question or accuse people.

It is just funny how people on here one minute take things so seriously and then so light the next. Blowing things out of proportion. Oh well.

Because this is how the board runs.

I lurk and sometimes I post, the "snark" turned me off in the beginning but you get used to it. You just don't reply to threads with snark already in them or you learn how to phrase things differently. I don't see how this concept is so hard? If you don't want to get in the middle of an argument or get flamed by entering a heated discussion, why go into that thread?

I've been following a ton of the threads here over the past few weeks and sometimes some people deserve it, those are generally the ones who were out right rude to begin with for no reason what so ever. Those people are typically new and leave within a few days anyways, they came here to serve no purpose except to make others feel bad.

But like I said, it is just how it is. You learn to cope with it or leave, I guess.

It is a hard pill to swallow and sometimes it does suck but no one can control how others are supposed to feel/do/say/ or act.

And that isn't to say that, if there truly was a misunderstanding, that it couldn't be worked out. I'm sure a lot of the women on here would try to work it out, if background was given and sincerity was shown.

^^---This is all that I've learned about how this board runs from lurking, and I'm used to it. I think sometimes people jump into posting without knowing the vibes of TB.

Yes.. which then led to the Family Guy episode where Peter is telling Meg to use protection and hands her a garbage bag and then sings that commercial.

MrsP610 · March 2012

I think people (in general) take the internet too seriously. I've been lurking for awhile. In the beginning I thought people were snarky. I've learned that most of that snark is deserving. People are very helpful here and make good points. Sometimes you agree, sometimes you disagree. Life goes on.

I don't think you got slammed bad..honestly. But I get not wanting DH to know ahead, which is why you should just wait it out and pee on a stick..

Yes

JLSmith124 · March 2012

eh, I just weed through all the uncalled for comments. Some of them are deserving, but most of the time it is just some oblivious newbie that doesn't know how the board runs wanting to ask a question.

I'm sorry, is this because you got butthurt over what people told you in your other post? Nobody was mean to you.

"Butthurt" lol love it.

That reminds me of that Super Bowl commercial from a couple of years ago. Bunch of cowboys herding cats.

OP- if you don't like the responses you don't have to read them. If you don't like the board, don't stay. Making a post like this is not going to make the board suddenly change.

I hear the high-pitched whiny voice and I see a little old lady wagging her finger at everyone.

This is probably the nicest board on TB. Just an fyi.
