I've been a lurker on this board, so I've been watching the drama. Just want to throw out there the kind of obvious solution to the problem. If you don't feed the trolls, they will go away.
I will lead by example, as I assure you, a certain troll we all know and dislike (to say the least), will try to bait me. Please watch as I do nothing, and then please join me in ignoring her, both here and all other threads she writes on.
I know it will be easier said than done for those of you with a history with her, but think of it as good practice for when you need to start ignoring negative behavior in your LOs, rather than rewarding it.
Re: Cardinal Rule of Bumping
I agree with you ladies. Tired of the bullies and drama. Before, I thought it was because ppl were hormonal, but this is no longer an excuse. I took many breaks from the board because of the unnecessary rudeness that some think is cool. But again, it's an internet forum, so you get all kinds of people... maybe once they remember that the are PARENTS and should be good roles models for their kids, they will be embarrassed by their behavior and will stop.
I agree.
Also this is probably a very UO- but don't all pedophiles in the world have access to these pictures? If you removed your siggy pics JUST because of this incident I think you are a bit naive. You need to be careful with your privacy regardless of Allison being around or not. For every post she makes/her husband sees, there are probably 10 weirdos looking who don't post. Just a thought.
Haha...now there's an idea!
Thank you for that.
Lol!! It does make that sound like a good idea doesn't it!?!?
Enticing idea! 'Hey DH! I know we're 2 and through, but how about 1 more just so I can get off the June 2012 board? It's full of all sorts of crazy"
It seems like an awful lot of work right now though. Maybe I'll just go hang out on 1st Tri and lurk where there's less drama.
This board was slow but peaceful before Allison came back so obviously that's the wrench in the board.

While not nearly as bad as it is now, before the FB group took off, I definitely remember drama on TB...and it centered around A as usual...especially during UO's and FFFC's...it was quite frustrating.
Yes. Your moderator needs to grow up. She knowingly gave money to a twice-convicted sex offender that SHE collected. She knew his status and did not tell those of us donating. She has let certain people get away with flagrant violations, including creating new accounts after having been banned from TB. She doesn't call attention to what she did because it is so heinous she wants everyone to forget.
tell me more about this troll. links are not discouraged. i'm new to this group and want to make sure i know everyone who is to be avoided, or is too dram-tastic to be ignored.
