God my new birth club Dec14 sucks balls. They are soooooooo bitchy! I remember a bit of drama earlier on here, but seriously these ladies are so ridiculous. Like the "gender/sex" debate?!? God forbid you make that mistake because you will literally be crucified. No, literally. The most unpleasant thing is the the Bump made my default Dec14, even though I like coming to A13 first! I don't usually get bothered by online drama but these women are just plain MEAN.

Jan15 can be pretty nuts, too. They love the snark a little too much for my taste.
(Kind of a lurker over here still, not as active as I used to be.) Maybe because I'm not spending a ton of time on Jan15, but I didn't think that month group was all that bad. I do avoid UO Thurs & FFFC most times, though. . . that could be why I have a little different view of the group. And I do kind of love me a little snark.
Myles was so pumped about the baby . . . until he figured out he'd have to share all his toys!!!
Seriously. Go home. You guys don't belong on our board
LEAVE.
Lol. You know nothing, Jon Snow

Oh wait, "retardedly"??? Are you serious? first of all the word means "characterized by being slow in awareness," like when you are slow to be aware you are announcing your pregnancy on social media. Unless of course you are using the Urban Dictionary definition...

You just opened up a can of worms. It is HIGHLY offensive. Do some research on banning the word and the context behind it.
Seriously, please do yourself a favor and look for 5 minutes online about this. Even the Supreme Court is trying to remove the word as a diagnosis.

I was a special needs teacher before becoming a doctor, where I take care of MANY developmentally disabled children and adults. So no, I don't go around calling them Retards. But thanks for playing.

Then I'm shocked that you of all people are using the word so loosely.
I guess there is no point trying to educate you because you feel you already know it all.
It's offensive to many people, including members of my family that have disabilities. So yes, thank you for playing too.
I mean, technically I don't think that it is even a word.
So why are we being bitchy about it?
We? Clearly vocab isn't your strong suit.

Yeah, it's over sensitive to say that saying sandy hook was faked is unacceptable. Is anything unacceptable here? Is it cool to just start calling things "gay" too?

I honestly believe that it is offensive to use the word retarded as well... and the original post pointing it out was random but polite enough. However, coming over here as some sort of snarky gang that throws around insults and instigating drama on another, unrelated post probably isn't the best or most effective platform for making a positive change.

Okay A13 posters I'm calling it quits on this post. This is not our style. I will be more cautious about the words that may be offensive to others, but no need for A13'ers to post further here. The snarky bully mentality is super not welcome here

Simply because I cannot let a sleeping dog lie...
You should probably know that the correct thing to say is "children and adults who are developmentally disabled". People first language.
I would hope that you at least change this order of words to be more sensitive towards your patients.
If we are such bad people, then why are you still here?

I honestly cannot believe a single one of them defended her on this, especially after her responses about it. That says something.
I don't think anyone defended the use of that word. It was clearly thoughtless. But I don't think it was malicious. She has never been a malicious person. Would a clear and succinct apology have been a better response? Probably. I took her post about being more careful about word choice as a tacit apology though.

Not an apology. We've seen a lot of sorrynotsorry around here lately.
I've also never seen anyone on TB use the r-word (regardless of the context) and not get ripped a new asshole. This is a very tame discussion and people are even providing informative links. It's an effort to educate.
Yeah, it's over sensitive to say that saying sandy hook was faked is unacceptable. Is anything unacceptable here? Is it cool to just start calling things "gay" too?
Of course! I call things 'gay' all the time. Wait, it's not cool to call things "gay"? what about fag? Ever see that south park episode? Fag does not = homosexual anymore. fag=douche canoe
I think we all get your point ladies. You have made it very clear. But last time I checked you weren't any of our mommys. We are all grown ass women. Please move on!
