Oh my god 95% of the people who posted in that glider thread need to fuck right off.

"someone is just jealous they didn't get invited to our Facebook group." "Ew. Not my fault you chose to have a baby when you can't even afford a crib" "um, that's a mod and she is really popular and how dare you speak against her?"

That shit just ignited the rage, THE RAGE inside of me.

Are these actual quotes?!

RondackHiker · April 2014

@little untaggable jerry

Yes. Yes they are.

littlestjerry · April 2014

Those quotes should be borderline humiliating for the people that typed them. The internet is weird.

ASmallWonder · April 2014

I was waiting for this to surface. I have a friend from M14 who told me about this but because the members were trying to keep the drama from the loss mom, she asked me to keep it quiet. I knew it was only a matter of time before it was made public though because drama like this never stays quiet.

Not that being mod is truly anything special (it's not like we're background checked or anything) but people tend to think of them as trustworthy (which is sweet but misguided) and she KNEW that and played on their trust. Disgusting.

That glider thread is gross.

I bet they all feel like asshats now.

They don't. At least not all of them. There are ladies who don't think the flamer deserves an apology and think it's ridiculous that people feel she's owed an apology.

They're just embarrassed.

They keep saying the apology can wait and they need to focus on the money now. Because it's totally impossible to say "I'm sorry" and flame someone at the same time.

my5sons · April 2014

Oh hell...I guess I'm going to get a flaming on M14 now too...I love how they involve all the other boards in their drama and then get pissed off when comments are made! WTF?? That glider thread was so beyond shitty, and some of them just absolutely refuse to acknowledge that.

Actually I just reread that thread and kinda want to smack myself in the face. While at the time I remember thinking the OP was a little spoiled, I was more pissed by the non board member who came over just to flame someone....we had a huge rash of them that week and I was DONE with it. But I still wish I never participated in that thread because it does reflect poorly on a lot of us. Ugh.

So, you did think the OP/thief was spoiled, but you told the newb that she was just jealous?!

Yupp, I thought they were both being dumb. I thought she was an AE, I still think she was. We had a rash of them. But like I said, it is hard to put my head back there. I just remember thinking "Eye roll another fucking AE" But yes I thought the OP was being spoiled and said something similar off board. I think that post reflects very POORLY on the board.

I just want to note that this board has gone through a lot since then. There have been losses and a lot of preemie babies, more than the norm. This particular board has been very supportive and gone above and beyond a lot.

Some of the very people getting flamed in the glider thread, may have shown bad judgement in that post. However they are the same people who have done the leg work to bring this forward, get new things put into place for the MCH and work with MOD. Many trying to find way to recoup funds and all that. I think it sucks we made fucking asses out of ourselves, but a lot of these girls are very good people and are just trying to make things right.

So you totes said something...maybe...where no one could see it.

Good job

No good excuse, it was months ago. I'm just saying how I remember it. Bottom line is, should have acted differently, sorry that I didn't. Hindsight is a bitch and I do feel stupid and embarrassed for my part in this. I do. A lot of us do.

None of us are perfect, we make mistakes. I made one. I am sorry for that. Very sorry, especially since I should know better and have complained about being treated badly on the boards. It is gross irony, makes me a bit of a hypocrit and it doesn't make me feel awesome about myself.

@ABColeslaw I think it's great that you can admit that it was a mistake. I'm confused by the bolded part. Since she's been a member since 2009, what makes you think she is an AE?

More shamefully I guess is that I admit, I just thought she was an AE, I never even looked into it.

missyishere · April 2014

We had the faux vet in our BMB, so there's that. She didn't join the FB group, though, for obvious reasons.

Monkeybabe · April 2014

April '12 was/is really resistant to FB groups. There was a small group that didn't get along with the masses that started their own FB group and would show up like Beetlejuice whenever their crazy was mentioned. We also had lots of trolls and BJ Barbie, so shit stayed fairly interesting.

theseaword · April 2014

I ended up meeting some good people through June 12, but the actual bump board itself pretty much died very quickly as almost everyone joined the FB group ( including me). And of course the FB group was mostly Allison drama bullshit for soooo long. So the meeting of the good people involved wading through a lot of shit.

BJ Barbie? Is that the chick who nursed while blowing? I think that gem was discussed extensively on my BMB.

Whaaaaat?

Im more than a little bummed that thread got locked down before I could light fire to the person who said that they would STILL defend a regular against a newb even if that regular was wrong as fuck. Seems real "friends" are only supposed to point out each others dickery in private.

Where all you heathens at? Church?
