What is wrong with people?
I've wanted to post about this for AWHILE, but decided not to in an attempt to avoid unnecessary drama. Apparently, it's unavoidable. I completely understand that this is a public forum, and everyone is well within their right to post freely, but I am amazed at how rude some people on here are! With the constant arrogant comments, and snarky remarks bashing simple questions and comments people have! It seems to be the same people that are commenting this way on other peoples posts, but WOW. I will admit, I came on here looking for support (being a first time mom) and to talk/vent to without being constantly bombarded with hateful messages...I'm used to dealing with rude people on a day to day basis and face to face, so this whole being an a-hole while hiding behind my computer screen in the safety of your own home thing is new to me. I've always been someone that is speaks freely and is very blunt, but I also use self control. So for the people that feel the need to troll the comment threads posting nasty and hateful comments over and over again, please do yourselves a favor and grow up. Apparently baby gaga is less drama, but this being my first chat forum experience, I think i'll be stearing clear of the nonsense from now on! I understand some young mothers have had a hard time in highschool, and we're bullied and feel the need to attempt to find their power online, but that's no reason to rage on a chat forum for other expectant mothers that are on here with genuine good intentions. Being negative and petty is stupid. I'm pretty bummed at this revelation, so Good luck on you delivery ladies, we're almost done! and for those of you who will undoubtedly post some kind of arrogant comment, I wish you the most luck of all...being respectful and kind is an admirable quality, behaving like nasty "mean girls" is beneath you...or at least I'd like to think so. End rant...

Re: What is wrong with people?
This is my favorite part.

I think this is the part where someone says something along the lines of:
"This is the internet. There are going to be people who disagree with you. There are going to be people who don't like you, just like the people in your real life who don't like you. Except, the people on the internet don't have to pretend to like you because they don't actually know you. If you can't handle that, then the internet is not the place for you. Put your big girl panties on...etc"
Or something like that.
Mine too... I thought I had been out of high school for almost 20 years... now I feel so young and refreshed.
that was the part I read outloud to my DH
And you're calling others out for being snarky?
The quote button is your friend... I know you do know how to use it... I have seen you use it.
I don't hide the fact that I am in my 30's, and I have never acted like a HS girl on this forum.
I act on here the same way I do everywhere... only difference is... I don't have awesome gif's when I walk around... which is sad.
Best ever! I chortled/snorted at work! Love!
dead.
I know right??
Those are called gif's
and it's ok... you can think I have no life... unlike you I don't feel the need to explain or share every detail of my life... yes I can sit on the internet all day at work and it is AWESOME!
Look! A bowl of kittens!
:dead!
I'll see your kittens and raise you puppies!
Or this fancy gif set, where RDJ stops filming to make everyone look at a cat.
My kind of fella, I tell you.
Nicely done, RDJ.
I'm not "shocked" by your snarkiness... Simply pointing out that you're being hypocritical. Please don't give the "she started it!" excuse, I hear enough of that from my children. Snarky is snarky, whether it's in defense or not.
Also, I feel that you instigated things further by making a thread just to complain that some of us are btches. Stop pretending to be so much better than us when you're the one who made a thread dedicated to drama, and continue to respond. If you truly were over it, you'd simply ignore all the comments.
I have to say, RDJ is growing on me, thanks in large part to all the gifs of him lately. I never found him attractive before, somehow.
Whaaaa? He's not my typical "type" but RDJ has always been somekindahawt to me.
Aha! Something good has come from my gif obsession with him!
Yeah, I usually lean toward the taller blonder dudes (see my DH, haha)...but for some reason I'm obsessed with him.
WORD. WALL.
CAN'T READ.
USE PARAGRAPHS!

Erm that was me. I stared at that gif for a verrrry long time.
Likewise. An inappropriately long time.
Can I just ask if you read your posts before you submit them? Because I really can't understand the huge run-on sentence/word wall that's littered with grammatical errors.
In response to your OP, don't biitch about people being bitchy. That's hypocritical and you should know by now that the regulars here will just make it into a big game with the gif's and stuff.

I am so tired of people like you, BB, who tell me I am responding a certain way because of a certain reason. You don't know me or my past!
I've been in the online community and the world of forums since I was 14 years old. I've had a job as a moderator on more than one forum and I greatly enjoy the honesty I find here. I have friends still to this day whom I have met via online forums; there are some great people out here.
The problems come when people try to jump in without the knowledge of how these forums work, and then tell us, those who have been here longer, that we are in the wrong. No, there is no rule book you can read, but even just reading a few posts before you create an account can give you the "feel" of the place and decide if it is a good fit for you. You think we're snarky? It's called brutal honesty. We don't have to pretend to like you online as we might in person, and that is one of the beautiful things about the internet. Your saying that we are "hiding" behind our computers is insulting, because I know that the same person typing this to you now is the same person you would meet on the street.
Also, please stop playing the first time mom card; it's insulting to the others here who are as well.
Obviously, the Bump isn't for you. Good luck finding somewhere with people who will listen to your crazy and agree with everything you say.
