"why you gotta be so rude?"

Before anyone hops down my throat about my spelling/grammer I am quoting a song.
I just need to point out all of the rude comments I am seeing on some of these discussions. We are supposed to be a "community" of moms who are hear tp support each other through this life changing time. Yes everyone is entitled to thier own opinion and yes it is the internet, freedom of speech blah blah blah. But if your reply put someone down then why even reply? For some "soon to be mommies" some of you are not very motherly. Teach love and respect ro your child even before its brought into this cruel world.

So I suggest you either do the same or get lost but I'm fed up of everyone bitching about the tone of the boards. You don't have to be here but I damn sure will be so get used to it.
And to answer answer the message board question, I haven't been on one since I was pregnant 8 years ago. I joined this one 2 weeks ago, and simply replied to a post I happened to agree with. Sorry if we don't fit in I guess.
While constructive criticism is awesome, I agree that people being down right nasty is not (it's basic manners and tells a lot about the person it is coming from). However it is not your job to teach manners to these individuals or question their parenting as it is quite irrelevant and frankly no ones business.
Don't take it personally. It's just the internet.
While there will be people trying to bring you down, there will be others more than willing to help you.
Good luck on your pregnancy!
I get both sides of the argument; I am new here. Buttttttt I also have my own opinion and 99% of the time I'm not afraid to let it fly. Especially lately. But even though both sides hve made valid points...OP; the best advice I can give is NEVER EVER EVER tell a momma how to raise her babies. That is my biggest damn pet peeve on this planet! This is my first biological child and I'm TIRED of being told everyone else's opinions on my pregnancy, names, and future with Baby Butler. (Except my husband - I listen to him sometimes haha.) I also have a 4 year old stepdaughter and I cannot tell you HOW many times I've wanted to slap someone for saying to me, "She's not your kid, but you should......" I think I understand what you were trying to say with your post but it really really didn't work, sweets!
Having made actual real life friends from TB in my previous pregnancy, I've come back here to do the same this time around, and I have a whole lot less time now to weed through the dumb. Understand that there is snark and sarcasm for a reason, but if you take the time to read the pinned post that says READ FIRST, you'll learn the basic guidelines to the board and gain a lot of resect from everyone else for following them.
There are no words for me to accurately describe what my last BMB has come to mean to me. I'm so excited for the chance to have that a second time.
Totally rambling now, because that's what I do. :-P

This the only contribution I feel qualified to make to this thread, which is to add one of my favorite posts ever from The Hairpin re said earworm.
Okay. I have never heard that song, listened to like 5 seconds from the link you posted and turned it off. Ha! I can't believe that's a hit? I guess I now understand why I quit listening to the radio. As for the actual link - thanks for the laugh. I enjoyed that!

I have been here on and off for a long time. When I was originally TTC my son, I met people who became some of my closest IRL friends, and we have been through some awful, tough shit together. I think you are doing yourself a complete disservice trying to be cute and alienating yourself from the entire board, because you are missing out.
My friends that I have made through other channels are not better or somehow more real to me that the friends that I met here and became friends with "in real life". I love them all to death and know they feel the same way about me.
