Bullying on the bump.

Just started reading through this J'15 "pee thread."

The grammar. Oh, the horror.

Wow some of you women are obnoxious. No wonder you hide behind a board to pick on other women. She simply was sharing her experience and looking for support, and all you did was prove how this board is not a made up of supportive women but instead it's run by women who's real lives are so void of anything that they resort to the Internet to humiliate and intimate complete strangers.

Actually no, I don't resort to the internet to be intimate with complete strangers. TYVM.

Proofreading is fundamental.

I hate that this is even a topic of discussion. I was able to reach out to this group of women when I needed advice and just to read kind words, and the support I received was incredible. I don't even post very often. But people who don't even know me took time out of their day to acknowledge that I needed help. No one had a single "mean" thing to say.

Oh, why don't ALL of your grow the F*^K UP.

If you feel the question is stupid - DON'T RESPOND. If you have nothing better to do than make a snide remark to someone who has a questions you may feel is unworthy of your time, you are the one being stupid and wasting your own time by remarking.

If you feel that your questions are being slammed - IGNORE THE A$$HOLE(S). There is much better use of your time and other resources to use beyond this board. I've found a very nice group, just look for your niche.

Jesus Christ, I am starting to feel like the only damn adult on here.

And as a victim of bullying IRL, as long as it makes you feel unworthy of having spoken - IT IS BULLYING, whether IRL or online. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

Come on over and stalk me all you want. All those years of torment as a child has just made it easier to laugh at the self harm that people impose on their own psyches. Cause the biggest truth in life is that the derogatory comments your make towards other people are what you fear people are thinking about you.

Regan1976 · October 2014

@amelandre - Just because I came late to a conversation doesn't mean I don't have anything important to say. I said what I felt I needed to and that is all. Take what you want from it or don't. It's all your choice. And way to prove my point about wasting your own time. I only found the thread about 15-20 minutes ago...how long had you been riding it to make the lovely type of comment as above?

VeganOnTuesdays · October 2014

@Regan1976 and you are....?

Regan1976 · October 2014

What does it matter who I am? This is a forum of people going through a similar life experience at the same time hoping to share information and commiserate that should run the gamut of all people around the world. That some of us don't know the basics while others have advanced degrees shouldn't influence how you speak/respond to each other. I didn't know you had to "prove" yourself to speak on an open forum. I've never had to give a resume or specifically know someone on such a forum to be welcomed into a conversation before.

An adult that can't even type the actual words they want to say? What are you afraid of? I guarantee it's not the worst thing anyone here has ever read...

Regan1976 · October 2014

I don't have an aversion to cursing but I don't risk my comments being deleted by programming designed to hide it nor do I feel I have to offend those that don't like it, so I compromised.

I haven't introduced myself on this board because of the kinds of unfriendly responses here on this thread. I found where I needed to be, but that doesn't prohibit me from speaking on the forum. I felt I need to speak because I can't fathom why you treat people looking to you for help in such a manner. Not you specifically, but you as a group. Honestly, something someone might find basic could possibly be hard for someone else.

dripping with drama @Regan1976‌

Regan1976 · October 2014

No, @rivers714, trying to understand why there is so much drama over someone looking for help.

Oh man when will people learn to looking into the people they choose to WK? They end up looking so fucking stupid when they don't.

Regan1976 · October 2014

No, what am I is exasperated that you all feel someone has to meet with your approval before they are worthy of asking a simple question, even if it's simplistic. That's all exasperation. And then when someone you don't "know" comments on everyone's behavior all you can focus on it that they haven't introduced themselves first. I did see some fun responses and gifs but they don't diminish what the whole thread was really asking for, acceptance that not everyone is on the same level and may have different ideas of what is a worthy question. I don't think I'll be looking in the May 2015 birth month anymore of any kind of help. And why would I go lurk in June 2015? It has nothing to do with me.

I think you're discrediting all the supportive and helpful comments that happen frequently on this board when people come seeking advice. Of course there are people you don't agree with/like, just as there are people that don't agree with/like you. It's real life. But to put a blanket statement over everyone on this entire board isn't really fair to you or everyone else.

Regan1976 · October 2014

Instead of letting it be, everyone on both sides resorted to snide comments and dismissive little gifs (granted some were hilarious). I chided everyone. I came late to the conversation, only having this thread to go on, made a comment about leaving each other alone if you didn't agree or didn't like a comment. How is this not adult?

@IFinTN - Sorry was posting at the same time. Then why doesn't everyone just ignore her?

I am not telling you how to respond, do whatever the hell you like, but you just like her should expect people to comment. You too have zero power over my keyboard. I wasn't WKing anyone. I'll speak out when I choose no matter how others respond, this is what IRL bullying has done for me.

Yes, you came late to the party... to bring up a thread that should have already died, to make a comment/judgement about a community you don't participate in. O.o

@Regan1976 Psssst, you should maybe go read her post before you come in here trying to save her from the villains she created in her tiny little head. OP got good reasonable responses to her posts. No one bullied her. She started this post for the dramas. You people are so naive!

You were, in fact, telling us how to respond. And get over yourself.

I AM NOT STICKING UP FOR ONE PERSON! If that's all you can take from what I said you didn't get the whole message.

gsancho · October 2014

Hey @Regan1976 ! I agree that some of threads get a bit out of hand, especially compared to the IF and PAIF board. But like @IFinTN said, the way the OP was made it flare up faster. And really, the BMB boards will always be snarkier with more clashes, b/c you have so many more people and personalities involved compared to other boards. So it's not going to change.

If you stick around and lurk, you'll get a quick grasp on which threads/topics will lend themselves to more snark, so you can avoid them if you want. I've still learned a lot on here and seen lots of support - I just avoid topics/arguments that have been beaten to the ground. Otherwise, PAIF is you home.

I don't think YOU are getting the whole message. We don't give a shit about your thoughts on this thread or your temper tantrum that you are trying to throw right now. Step off.

Regan1976 · October 2014

I only replied because of the banter about bullying, something that I have intimate acquaintance with and don't want anyone else to feel. That's where the leave each other alone came from. That is all.
