OP

Look, I never wanted a negative post. It was intended to be positive. I'm not going to judge you as a wife or mother bc of an online spat... That's ridiculous.

@sparklenshine_89 - you seem to be a reasonable person so I'm going to give it to you straight. I have no problem nicely redirecting someone when they start their own thread instead of posting in the appropriate place. I did it myself the first time I ever posted! No big deal. What rubbed me the wrong way was your response "Oh God forbid I don't read every single thread and post. Seriously..." That said to me that you don't give a shit about getting to know anyone else. You can't take the time to read anyone else's posts but you feel like everyone else should ooh and aah over your babymoon plans?

A lot of us have gotten to know each other really well, but there's always room for more. We've had some rough second trimester losses recently and I think everyone is still a little on edge. We don't know you yet. All we know of you so far is this post. I get that your excited about your vacation plans and wanted to share. That's cool. Just post it in the appropriate place. You get what you give. Take the time to learn how our board does things and get to know the ladies here. I promise you they are some of the most supportive women you will ever meet.

We've seriously had a ton of new people flood the boards recently. A lot of times they post a "look at me!" post and never return. It gets a little irritating when there's such a large group of women and we're trying to get to know one another.

I nicely responded to everyone who were nice enough to redirect me. But when someone comes on and is sarcastic, I reacted in a similar manner which was bad on my part... True you guys don't know me... I mostly lurk because I feel everyone is already in their click and I'm not on very often. My post was so that I could get to know people without always jumping in on a late response and the topic is already dead (I'm in Ca...so I'm usually late to most topics).

No worries. Read other posts and comment often. Let us get used to seeing your name so we can get to know your personality. Have you read the "New here? Read me first" thread? It's got some of the abbreviations and a list of our daily or weekly thread.

We are sarcastic to newbies. It helps weed out the crazies. Usually it goes down one of three ways:

The drive by: They post and never return. They don't even respond to the thread they started in the first place.

The MUD/troll: (made up drama) they post just to get a rise out of everyone. They call us bitches and say they feel sorry for our husbands and future children. They usually have to be banned.

Newbie: they apologize but never post again. Very rarely do we have the newbie that sticks around. We like newbies when they put in an effort to get to know us and how the board works. We were all new at one point!

She doesn't seem BSC. She hasn't insulted us, our husbands or future children. This one could be a keeper if she learns the board. If she doesn't go bsc can we keep her??

If you want it @read247 you got it.

A sarcastic response got a sarcastic reply... if i had originally named the title something along the lines of "what is your baby moon plans" I'm sure no one would have cared.

Am I the only one here who would have cared if she named the post "what is your baby moon plans"?
