I was wrong (vent)

AshleeR20 · January 2013

I am going to say this and then I am no longer coming to the community to ask any of you a thing ^^

I really wanted to scream at the top of my lungs in my last question I had for this website and then I realized there are good people out there and there are others who are as selfish as it gets. Sadly I was very upset with what some of you were saying, I'm big because I have a thyroid problem but most of you are so caught up in pregnant anger that it turned into a fat rant instead.

I thought this website would be good to come and ask questions and relieve some stress but it sounds like this is just making it worse.

Coming from a first time mom I don't know everything, and when I ask a question it's a question, I wasn't looking for medical advice and if I did I sure wouldn't come here.

I am really surprised I kept it cool during this vent cause I would have blown up.

Thats all I have to say, don't respond.

Sorry to see you go. Sorry your feelings were hurt.

My guess is this post:

which is bizarre since no one attacked her, and I do not see any "fat rants" in it.

MamaJules220 · January 2013

I don't know what your original post was, but I find it hard to believe that the women on this board were snarky for no reason. Go check out some of August's threads from today alone... But okay. Bye.

Just curious, what kind of responses did you expect to get when you said you have been "battling lifelong obesity" followed by "I hardly work out ever"?

Ohhh... I remember that one.

Yeah - I'm still sorry you felt attacked, but it's a valid point.

OldGlory · January 2013

Bravo for getting your panties in a bunch. There were not any rude comments. If you thought they were rude, you might want to find another board. This place is tame in comparison to other Bump boards.

Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

imoan · January 2013

I really didn't see anything in that thread that was a fat rant. All I said was that if you start out overweight, your doctors don't expect you to gain as much weight... and that's most likely why your OB wasn't concerned.

But okay crazy... feel better after you *** your lunacy all over this board?

Raquellyo · January 2013

Your post was filled with valid responses and helpful opinions. There were also a few comments about how annoyed this board is with the weigh gain/loss posts, which you would know if you participated in this board at all.

There is nothing to get so worked up over, you asked for opinions from non-medical strangers and you got it. If there is a next time, give us a hint on the answers you are looking to receive...that will save a lot of time. Otherwise, sorry this place isn't for you, good luck.

AliciaR777 · January 2013

If you thought you got bad responses in your original post, just wait for the ones you'll get on this! Since you're not a 'regular' around here, no one would have noticed you quietly leaving our community. But since you want to call out attention to the fact that you're leaving, you've opened the flood gates to a whole boat load of snark.

slinking off quietly wouldn't have gotten her all the attention that this post has drummed up. silly!

rsage53 · January 2013

Maybe I am not reading the correct thread, but I don't see much (if any) "pregnant anger fat rants."

After so many people have complained about the weight posts, I was surprised that you actually received several pieces of solid advice and concern. And lastly, there has been no activity on that thread since Saturday, I believe. Why are you starting a new post and rant about it today?

kmcd23 · January 2013

Here I go with my unpopular opinions again, but I am sorry your feelings were hurt. Of course, I'm biased because the snark about weight loss posts has rubbed me wrong since the beginning. But, as much as you wish you could show people that they've hurt you, posts like these just add fuel to the fire. I hope you find an online place you like.

But really, this is why people suggest lurking before posting. Just a few page scrolls would have shown that the weight thing has been beaten to death.

Absolutely, just a page down from your original post people were complaining about weight posts in general especially weight loss threads... I never even open those posts but I honestly had seen one too many. The only people who post stuff that isn't welcome are the ones who don't read other threads. Why do you think you would get a "I feel so sorry for you, you've lost weight during your pregnancy!" Would you rather everyone say, "OMG you better start gaining weight and FAST!" What were you expecting anyone to say when you posted your original thread? When people posted sound advice you got defensive.
Well ladies, we were complaining that this board was getting stale... At least now we have some new drama!

Oh?
This is like that one time that a completely random individual ran up to me in a restaurant and busted a water glass over my head, as my friends and I were waiting for a table and then ran out the door, hopped in a waiting car and they peeled out.
Hold up - did this really happen? Rock on.
I'm extra curious since something similar happened to me in a bar, except it was a full pitcher of beer and didn't bust, but was emptied on my head. Lucky for me it was in NYC so you can't get very far in a getaway car!
1989, Los Angeles, the Spaghetti Factory. It really happened. I didn't even see it coming, because they came out of the bar area and came up behind me. According to people in the crowd, they said the guy came in, went right to the bar, ordered a glass of water, went right up to my back and BAM. None of my friends, who were facing me and saw him come up behind me, recognized him.
Yeah, getaway cars do much better in LA. Hahaa! But that is crazy that something similar happened to you! I didn't know it was a thing!

I just can't....wait, WHAT?!

I agree with all of this. I was actually one of the people who supported you and tried to give you helpful advice. This new post is just a little weird to me, though. If you had just expressed how your feelings were hurt, it wouldn't have been as bad. Instead, you lashed out and insulted every person on this board, which is pretty rude and immature.

As some of the PP mentioned, it is important to lurk on a board before posting. I personally don't have a problem with any of the weight loss/gain posts, but about 90% of people on this board find them annoying. So even though I'm ok with it, I refrain from posting questions related to weight just out of respect for the other women on the board.

Again, I'm sorry that your feelings were hurt by the responses to your original post. This follow-up post was completely unnecessary, though. I hope that you can find a support system that is more suitable for you.

Some crazy "truth or dare" game, LA, circa 1989??
