Love you ladies!

I was out lurking on some other boards today, which I don't typically do and WHOA...people jumping down peoples' throats for using incorrect terms (thinking BM vs. EM here) and it was just a shit show.  I felt so bad for some of these ladies who were new and just had a question.  I think being a smaller, more intimate board definitely comes with perks!  So, just sayin' thanks for all of you being you!

    OMG! I know what you mean. I was on August moms and asked a question, I was harassed because I hadn't introduced myself first! Totally turned me off!!!

    It's funny, I created a post just like this months and months ago. TB is infamous for its snark, and I agree can be a lot to take in. This board is by far the best.

    Also, I hope I haven't come across as jumping down anyone's throat about EMom vs BMom. I only say something b/c I didn't know the difference before but now it sincerely hurts me to see that terminology, knowing what they are already going through. It's like how if someone referred to a birthmom as a natural mom (the old term) you'd rightfully correct it because it's insulting and not right. Make sense?
    Birthmom to A, 1/8- the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

    This is the best board I have found. You ladies are so welcoming and never try to tear anyone down or be rude to anyone. It's so nice to come to a place where everyone pretty much understands each other and can give advice on things. You all rock in my book!  :x

    I was terrified to do an intro over here. Scared Id get something wrong or offend someone. (I've heard how the bump can be...) But after lurking for a couple days I saw that that wouldn't be the case. So thank you for being so welcoming and understanding!

    Best.board.ever!

    I'm new to this forum and I'm kinda unsure whether I'm saying the right things but I guess its just a matter of getting used to communicating with fellow mommies here but from what I see most of them on this forum are supportive :)
