So I'm the jerk that posted the insensitive comment about Butterbrots signature of her cute kids. I shouldn't have done that and I sent her a private message apologizing. I feel terrible that I offended her like this. Usually when someone says they are leaving the board, it's something kinda big. So I can't believe I caused this and I said that. I woke up and read the comments and started crying that I caused her that much hurt. I never get involved in the drama or debates on the board because I'm not combative at all so I don't know why I did this. I'm usually the one to try and make people feel better so this was out of character for me. I admit I totally super suck and should not have said what I did and I never meant to sexualize her kids picture. It wasn't meant like that but I can't take anything back. And I'm not coming back as a new person since that's lame.
I will probably not post as much anymore since this one thing will be looked at as tarnishing my name. I really hope Butterbrot stays. I hope she doesn't let an insensitive comment ruin her time on her and I hope people can understand that people make mistakes. I really, truly am sorry.
Re: it was me concerning Butterbrot
All I saw was 2 kids reading a book, but you saw more. You said your piece and then you apologized not only in a private message but right here right now.
So you dont need to go, nor does Butterbrot!
Well said, Smudgee!
A15 January Siggy Challenge-
This! Neither of you should go. Things happen. What's important is you felt the need to appologize and you did.
I just caught wind of all this. I forgot to go back and check that thread after asking you about the siggy in question. I saw the "don't go butterbrot" post and did some good hard thinking and made the connection.
Now I feel terrible that I made you "spill the beans".
I loved that siggy she had of her kids, it was adorable with them reading together. I, like many others, never even noticed the "crotch shot".
I hope she decides to stay, as well as you!!
I truly believe Meg was coming from a place of concern. I don't think making her feel bad helps the situation at all. She apologized which is something a lot of people wouldn't do.. They would run away and that would be it.
Meg, I hope you stay as well as Butter.
In summary, there is this chick, AllisonMarie (who'/s username you may recognize from the tri boards from way back when) who, for some reason, decided to come out and disclose to a select few that her husband is a registered sex offender. Because the bumpies that received the information are rational, sensible, and protective of their peers, one of their little birdies pulled down the curtain AllisonMarie by alerting her BmB (and maybe a few other boards as well).
People got to Googling, as all bumpies are obligated to do, and it was discovered that he had multiple charges for possession of child pornography. Her little lapdog, Alicia somethingoranother attempted to come to her defense, but was no match for all the pissed off women on the board. On top of that, apparently the June 2012 board had raised quite a bit of money to pay for a maid to help around the house because her husband was a lazy pos. There was quite a bit that was donated....and Alicia was at the head of it all. Turns out that the June ladies donated money so that Allison's disgusting husband could sit on his fat, perverted a-s-s.
The original threads wherein this information was disclosed have been long deleted, but here's a link to some of the aftermath.

Now, back to the matter at hand.
Meg, there is no reason for you to go...we all do and say some pretty stupid sh*t, so in reality, we're all tarnished a bit (quite possibly more so myself) and that's okay. You said your apologized and acknowleged your mistake...and there are plenty of people who are unable to do so-THOSE are the people who we want to go all GBCB on us.
And ButterBrot!!! DONT LEAVE ME HERE ALONE WITH THE CRAZIES.
(I figured caps lock and exaggeration may help the cause.)
