I am rarely snarky and wasn't at all in the DD'ed post, but if someone comes out and asks if something they want to do is "tacky" I will tell them if I think it is tacky or not.nbsp; Usually if a person has to ask if something his tacky it usually is because otherwise it most likely would be the "norm" in their circle of friends/family and they wouldn't even ask.nbsp; I will sometimes quote another PP but add my own thoughts as well maybe an experience, etc.
Personally, I think it is RUDE to DD.nbsp; Most people have spent the time to read the post, plus the answers and answer it themselves...then the OP DD's it.nbsp; It is a total waste of time for people to try to help the OP...and many do actually try to help.nbsp;
BTW...how are people able to DD so easily?nbsp; I tried a couple of times because once I posted I noticed the answer was further back but couldn't get rid of it DD.nbsp; I must be doing something wrong.nbsp; :

I can't even delete a double post...

Is it goodnbsp;etiquette to be nasty to someone just because you disagree with them? Or to be as rude, smarmy, and smug as possible to someone because their earnest question makes you feel superior?nbsp;That's the overwhelming tone on this board, and quite frankly it seems that most of the ladies who are sonbsp;committednbsp;to this inane and stuffy brand of "etiquette" love to jump at the chance to be rude.nbsp;Is that classy or klassy? Regardless, I think it's gross.nbsp;

Couldn't agree more... I am not ashamed to admit I was one of the PP who deleted my post. I deleted it, not because of the comments being made to me, but rather to the comments that I felt got out of control towards other posters. I am one who will be forever on the wall of shame for daring to consider the book instead of a card idea. I realize that I opened myself up to the snark so I just won't post for advice here anymore because clearly what I expected was not what I received. I legitamately thought I could ask my question and would get honest, yet respectful feedback. What I didn't realize is that by posting here I was actually entering the set of Mean Girls. I am not a "snowflake" and I don't expect to be pitty patted, but I do expect that grown women could at least show some restraint in comments, while still being honest. For those who think this board is just for entertainment, perhaps you should head on over to the Entertainment board so you can brush up on some other options, since you're just SO bored with life.

Omg are the Butthurts still pissing and moaning? Seriously? Go to BabyGaga or Babycenter to get your hands held, hair braided and arses kissed. No one is going to be extra gentle and baby your dumb, rude or gift grabby ideas. How do you function in real life?

Do you expect everyone to be saccharine sweet and sugar coat things for you? Some ideas are tacky. Sorry about that. If you have to ask then be prepared for the consequences.

No one is forcing you to stay and interact with the meanie heads. No amount of grousing will change the way TB operates. Please learn to cope and buy some big girl panties. Good lord!

Just so we're clear, you're telling us all not to be snarky and rude while being snarky and rude.

Oh.

Hypocrite.

LOL. She sure told us!

No feelings hurt here. I just think it's hilarious that anyone would take etiquette advice from people who speak to others like this. It's a bit of a joke really. I'm no Pollyanna; sarcasm and foul language don't offend me in the slightest. But I also don't purport to be an authority on graciousness. Apparently, some of you ladies are ever so committed to the utmost in tact and classiness - but only when it comes to...baby showers. Ha! Oh, wait, let's include anything that involves gifts. If it involves getting shiit from people, manners are extremely important; but when it comes to just being decent to complete strangers, manners, tact, graciousness, and class can all be thrown out the window.

It's laden with hypocrisy and completely illogical which makes it seem as though your bizarrely impassioned defense of baby shower etiquette has nothing to do with prevention of all things tacky, but more to do with an opportunity to be a diick on the internet. Because in real life the mean girl role doesn't play so well on a grown woman.

That is all.
