Social groups - a new outlet for the butthurt

spacepotatoes · March 2014

I was curious to see how the Social Group experiment was working out so I had a look at some this morning. Stumbled across this one:

and thought

Sure enough, this one doesn't realize she's on the wrong website for her expectations. Got flamed for her contributions here on her first day and got butthurt really quick:

and again in her own thread:

Who's surprised that her group has no other members?

LOL! She's a special snowflake!

9 times out of 10, the person who is getting offended by stuff is the only one getting offended and it's normally because they're an idiot.

Yes, there are times when the boards can be bitchy. It always confuses me when people get really snarky and bitchy over the UO thread. The opinions are supposed to be unpopular. Otherwise it would just be the "everyone agrees with each other" thread. Then again, if you say something downright awful then you deserve to be flamed. Most of the time the flaming is hilarious. You just have to come in with a sense of humour and not be super serious about everything you're saying.

"Not washing my baby" woman annoyed me the most recently. Telling us we need to have an "intellectual" conversation, then calling us assholes because we didn't jump up her backside. Welcome to the internet - you can't dictate how these things turn out.

Yeah, that one on 3rd tri is really irritating. It happens every time she asks a question.

awc1986 · March 2014

It's very hard to have an intellectual with discussion with someone whose only reasoning is "well, you're an asshole" if you don't agree with them. It sort of undermines their whole argument really.

She called me an asshole. All I said was "team wash the baby". I just laughed at her.

I was just lurking on that thread and I was totally shocked when she did that...then had the audacity to demand that everyone else behave in an "intellectual" fashion. She is one special snowflake.

I had to reply... she was throwing the world bullying around... :-?

I love these silly drama posts - it's like watching The Real Housewives lol.

Edit: I'm 8 months pregnant - these things happen.

Edited...nevermind. I think I just clicked the wrong link.

Looks like her group is gone...

I think my link is wrong or something's changed since this morning. I had posted to say the same thing but when I went to the social groups page, I could still see it there and click on it.

ETA: I fixed the link in my OP. The number part changed.

Are the social groups actually a thing? Like people use them?

dogsombrero · March 2014

I'm butthurt but it's just from the 'roids.

Soooooooo.. I don't go over to 3rd tri too much. Can someone tell me why the woman didn't want to wash her baby? I have to hear this.

To allow the vernix to soak in. I think she mentioned something about going 1-2 weeks without bathing baby

talkthewholetime · March 2014

Everytime I see the sticky that says "Social groups - we heard you" I think "uh, no you didn't because we all said they were dumb"

laurblum · March 2014

Wow.. I too am team wash the baby.

artichoken · March 2014

There is actuallyas biological function to not wash the baby right away...Hold on let me grab a link.

awc1986 · March 2014

Fair enough not washing for the first day or so, but up to 2 weeks?! That's gonna be one stank baby! I'd be worried about infection in the cord stump etc. People can do what they want, but I will be having a clean baby, thanks. Sorry if that makes me a "smartass".

No one was disputing that part. A lot of people made a good case for why it's good to leave the baby unwashed for the first little bit. People just took issue with the fact that the OP thought she could go two weeks without bathing the baby. That, and the OP's tendency to call anyone who didn't immediately agree with her or post a dissertation on the subject an asshole.
