Can we stop giving this girl attention and cross posting this? Honestly, her comments really upset me, because my child is an IVF baby. I actually cried when I read her posts. It's not necessary to keep dragging this out over and over. It's not entertaining, it's sad.
She is a sheltered, uneducated, and selfish CHILD. And some of things that people were saying to her were even more appalling than what she said (cum dumpster? Really?). I think it's time to just look the other way, since she is clearly too dim witted to move on herself. What are we actually gaining from rehashing this on 3 different threads?

@LadyMacaron when I get really upset or frustrated (or flat out pissed off) at something someone has said, I try to step back and consider the source. Sure, we all have differing opinions on hot topics. This one really seems ridiculously stupid, but whatever, I could say people who don't believe in gay marriage are stupid too. Anyway, my point, and I do have one is this, when you allow someone to affect you that much, you're letting them reside in your brain, and you aren't even charging them rent. To hold the anger, or sadness she's caused you, affects only you. So, my advice is to laugh. She's an ignorant child who knows very little of adult life. Her life probably really sucks (whether she thinks so or not). I take solace in that.

I got over it as soon as I closed the thread that night and looked at my belly. But, yes, it did hurt me initially. Mostly because when were trying to decide to do IVF or not, I was sad because I felt I was robbed the whole "making a baby with love" thing. Obviously, that was crazy, because to go through what we did for 3 years takes A LOT of love. Regardless of if none of you are hurt by her words, and just angry, it just seems ridiculous to me to keep bringing attention to it. A lot of us did get our feelings hurt, and it's just stupid to bring that drama to THIS positive month board. I am not angry with that girl, like I said, I am sad for her. She is not the brightest bulb in the store.

I was actually pretty amazed by how much positive support was shown in that people from all over TB, no matter their differing opinions on other PR things, how they conceived their own children, etc all banded together to support the fact that those types of ignorant, hateful comments are NOT okay. It's very rare that we can find an issue where literally everyone agrees and supports each other.
I had missed the original thread that this all came from, but I just went and read that board's FFFC, and wow!! Her "contribution" may be one of the most offensive things I have ever seen on TB!
I don't think we can blame her ignorance on her age either. I would never have said something so rude and heartless when I was 18. She's just a douche, plain and simple.
Re: LOL - Can we start over?
All I can do is just shake my head...
