So...anyone keeping up with the BNOTB dramz?

That was some craaaaaaazy stuff. I like it here. It's warm and safe.

Cheekers2010 · March 2012

Huh, no...what's going on?

jillybean800 · March 2012

Hmm...where should you start? There is a link on the 12-24 month titled "crazy ish" that will take you to the original post. It all spirals way out of control from there.

Edit: but if you just want a quick version, a gal posted there yesterday with a memorium to her 2 stillborn children. A girl posted back to take them out because she doesn't want to see that stuff all the time. Some agreed, most attacked the 2nd girl saying she was insensitive, and then the 2nd girl just went off saying some very very offensive things.

what board is that?

jillybean800 · March 2012

nest board, babies not on the brain

dee12807 · March 2012

I read it last night - it's where I learned my new favorite word 'twat waffle' which i used in conversation 2 times today

I haven't been back though - I was so angry last night I just don't think I want to go back...

Whoa!

It's so disturbing people could be that mean to another person! Sad, just sad.

stephy1221 · March 2012

Yes, I am schocked at what chaos could be started over a little siggy. People on both sides are getting beyond nasty.

lrn327 · March 2012

Yeah, that thread was pretty crazycakes. I'll take our puppies and rainbows any day!

EMOmamma · March 2012

I read it last night but didn't keep up with it today. That poor woman. I wonder if anyone got banned out of that whole mess.

bosha711 · March 2012

I read a few pages earlier tonight. It was the most heartless thread I've ever read in the 8 yrs I've been on these boards. I actually used to post on that board when it first was created - shortly after I was married. But the "mood" shifted pretty quickly over there to something I didn't care to be a part of.

Whoa!

One girl who was a real jerk changed her siggy to say something about "I never met my father. In 2003 I was raped. In 2007 my cat died. And for crying out loud I do NOT want to talk about it!" It was so insensitive and very... I don't even know the word!

I didn't keep up with it today but I did read it last night

principessa81 · March 2012

I felt terrible for the OP (figgs, is that her name?). I can't believe the things that people-one poster in particular-were saying. It makes me sick.

bosha711 · March 2012

mands629:
Did the OP actually have her stillborn babies' pictures in her siggy?

No! It was just 2 quick lines of text saying "born still at 20 weeks" or something like that.

I've seen way more "offensive" siggies than that!!

stephy1221 · March 2012

mands629:
Did the OP actually have her stillborn babies' pictures in her siggy?

No, just dates and gestational age. Also listed her wedding date. Very run of the mill siggy.

Strunella · March 2012

I think my eyes are crossed from reading all of that! Honestly, could that girl really be a mother? Wow.

s+d2007 · March 2012

It was pretty bad. My mouth flew open so many times, and I didn't even get through it. I just can't believe people can be that insensitive. I may not post a lot, but I know I can post here and be comfortable.

kat81again2 · March 2012

omg. I just spent like 40 minutes reading through a bunch of it. WOW. That is BAD. And it really sucks for the OP. She was seeking out a board where she could be free of talking/thinking about her losses and just talk about something else altogether.

Part of me understands the "rule" (which was not stated anywhere) to take all baby-related things out of the siggy. However, it's not that you can have different signatures for different boards, and she just didn't want to remove that information for good. Also, sounds like they totally didn't enforce it for other people!?!

So now the OP just has to leave and go somewhere else, but it's not like there are a lot of options for her with that particular outlet. I just think it's not fair. I can't believe some people are so ridiculously insensitive and downright mean-spirited, to the point where they will persist even when everyone has made it clear just how wrong they are.

--halo-- · March 2012

Honestly, that was THE most ridiculous thread I have ever seen here. I couldn't even make it to the end of the first page, it's like their brains aren't wired correctly.

xxbabycakesxx · March 2012

Ok, now I gotta go read this post...

We also use douche nozzle, douche canoe, and crotch pheasant over there too.

That post was all sorts of fuucked up. I was ashamed to see she was from Iowa. Needless to say they found her FB page. I wonder how many messages she got.
