Why is everyone so hostile?

I like the way this thread went :-bd

LOL. Oh look, another thread about how bitchy some of the people here can be, then the bitchy people are here getting defensive. Love these threads.

Defensive? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

So are you one of the bitchy and defensive, orrrrr?

Every time I see the title of this post it reminds me of this...

This is my first day on the bump, I was about to ask what trolling was, luckily Maui saved me from embarrassment and a verbal beat down.. thanks to you

OP, just for you.

Stellarrelic · September 2014

I find a few who I am sure have nothing better to do than make hostile comments. I just dont read their posts. I mean why? They oblivious are miserable people. But yes I think the same thing.

Stellarrelic · September 2014

There is always a button to ignore certain members. If you click on the name it will take you to their profile and you just hit ignore.

Does it make you angry or constipated that I am so far from miserable? I love my life! Two beautiful kids & an adoring husband. This website is just fun for me. It's not all that serious. CTFD, already.

You can still see ignored posters' posts if someone else quotes them. :-??

@Stellarrelic 4 out of your 5 posts are complaining about how awful these forums are. I don't think they are the right fit for you. Why don't you check out a different website?

(Seriously, I don't think I could have put that any nicer, I really tried)

No joke. Who hangs out in a place that they hate & can't stand the people? Unless they are just miserable in life and want a place to complain? :-??

Sometimes I wonder if the posters that whine, complain & finger wag feel powerless/impotent in their lives? Trying to police the interwebz & tell us all how we should behave?

No one is forcing anyone to participate here.

How can you be oblivious to being miserable? That makes absolutely no sense at all.
Your idea of hostile is my idea of factual and straight to the point.

Well, maybe she's heard about your MIL? :P She could make anyone at least a little miserable

I just imagined to myself what it would be like for your MIL to join TB. It's a terrifying though.

This would be horrifying. Her posts would be long, rambling rants with only exclamation points for punctuation.

@Kimbus22 you can't tell people to do a google search?! Um...why? That's why the google box was invented...to win arguments and save your breath!

And to the person who started this post-I agree it does get negative, but sometimes it's just humor that if someone were sitting right in front of you saying the same thing you would laugh. Sometimes people are just bitches-just do you and insert your positivity

Where is the Friends "THIS IS COMPLETELY NEW INFORMATION!" GIF? Someone throw that shit up in here.

I'm so tired of people bitching about how we respond to things. No one makes you stay here. You don't have to make a giant movie speech and be dramatic. If you don't like the tone of the board, just go.
You do realize you are bitching right now.

And I can also say the same. If you are tired of it don't bother with the thread.

Anyways yes that was probably a little too long bitching session for me. But I felt it needed to be said.

These posts come up weekly. We get it. You can't remove stick from your ass.

Edit: typo

I think it's funny that the majority of love tits on the op are generic avatars.

DSteeny · September 2014

Lol after reading this post I am definitely not wasting my time on here. I'm 100% with you, mostly everyone here thinks they are an expert or something, and their opinion is the only one that matters. Maybe they don't have anything better to do with their day than pick apart people's comments and questions...All I wanted was to share my experiences with people going through similar things, and have more than just a negative google search to get me through the next few months. I see this is wayyy worse though!! Definitely wasn't this bad a couple of years ago when I was pregnant with my son.
Goodluck!!
Lol the bra for support thing is hilarious, but so rude..come on ladies!

I always wonder if people really laugh out loud when they type "lol".

DSteeny · September 2014

In this case, I definitely did laugh out loud! I truly feel sorry for the girls like myself who tried to make a simple comment, and connect with others, only to wind up getting ganged up on by a bunch of vultures looking to prove themselves to a bunch of strangers.

I thought you left?

candygirl29 · September 2014

I've been on these boards for years and realize that this is just the culture around here. It's easy for some to be mean and snarky when you are able to hide behind a computer. Please believe that most of these women would not be able to behave this way if this was a face to face conversation. For this reason, many have left the boards or have started their own closed boards elsewhere. I don't take anything personally here. I take the information that I find to be of value and leave the snarky comments behind.

Please tell me more about how you know all of us personally and how we repspond IRL. I'm truly interested.

Not be able to? How is that? I am a very direct and blunt person in real life face to face conversations. Take it or leave it, I don't really care.

Funny, because I've found it full of a bunch if whiners. If you don't like it there is no need to scold, just hit the X and back out.

I have confidence in myself. I'm here for entertainment :-??

eadler · September 2014

The What to Expect communities have a much different vibe, you can sort by your birth month. Thats where I ask questions:) TB is for .. entertainment/drama

IVEALWAYSBEENCRAZY · October 2014

I agree with you Mayaa! I was somewhat surprised by all the hatefulness and unnecessary remarks. I feel bad for what ever young girl or whoever might be on the receiving end who simply may be seeking answers. We don't know everyones knowledge, age or what have you...What might be common sense to you and I may not be to another. If someone has posted what you think is a stupid or repetitive question- why waste your time with it- just for the opportunity to hurt someone? I suspect some these ladies are unusually immature ( assuming that most here are in their 20's and 30's) or have some issues. But whatever, we are relatively free to do and say what we want here.

Manateearmz · October 2014

I think we should make this thread a sticky to house all of the GBCB's. Right next to what a positive pregnancy test looks like.
