The official board bully booberry is taking down peoples usernames so she can hunt us down and passive agressively harass us later, like bullies like to do when someone is outlandish enough to have a different opinion, i would document every nasty reply she makes to you from now on and report her and her band of mean girls for harassment from now on.
Here we go throwing around the word bully again.
My experience with bullies is that they get all put out at the WORD bully like its not real. Just... Like you just did right there.
No what you are doing is down playing the actual problem this world has with bullying. Simply saying you find someone's post offensive and wrong is not bullying.
No, but telling the original poster to not read stuff she doesn't like and not comment on it and then clicking on her post specifically to flame her is hypocritical and it's bullying. Take your own advice ladies.
Who is flaming her? It's not realistic to tell people to not share about a loss. If it makes her so uncomfortable then she shouldn't open the posts.
I think again I said pages ago and what lots of other women said throughout these posts, it's the title and the way she said it that's offensive to those who have lost. Many people are uncomfortable talking about miscarriage, maybe asking how to handle the fears of miscarriage would have been less inflamatory and more like to get a discussion about it going instead of a bunch of hormonal frustrated stressed out women going to town.
Listen this has been taken to far I was just saying that for someone who has experienced loss and knows how terrible it is (it wasn't early in my pregnancy either) to have it there and in your face everyday as a reminder of whats a very good chance of happening again is upsetting when all you want to do to get through a day is think positively.. Again sorry for putting my feelings out there... I apologize to anyone who may have been offended..

then why are you opening posts that you know you're probably going to not like? It is realistic, its just an unpopular opinion. She didnt say "you better not post"... She said" maybe there should be a separate spot" at no point did she demand the posts stop.

Because I, unlike OP, am not uncomfortable about things on the Internet. I will open them and share my opinion. If I disagree with someone I am going to let it be known. I am not someone who avoids posts because I don't like it or it "gives me anxiety". Nope.

You do realize that what you are suggesting is, in fact, harrassment and against the TOU.
The post-it comment is a very long-standing joke around TB.
It's not harassment if there's a legitimate grounds to report you for bullying and harassment. So now you're trying to bully me into NOT reporting you?
Except that you are the one harrassing me and calling me names.
100% of the time there is drama on these boards you are right in the middle of it stirring it up even more. And then when you get called on it you pretend to take the highroad and now you're somehow the victim. Don't sit around and stir it up and then act like somehow you're some sort of innocent bystander.

Why are you so obsessed with me?
I could ask you the same thing. You're the one that has my name on a post it note, figurative or otherwise.

Bottom line: asking someone to hide their tragedy because it makes you uncomfortable is offensive. This board is full of uncomfortable things. It's pregnancy for crying out loud. MC are common reality. You mourn the loss you celebrate the life. Hiding the bad doesn't make it go away.

This is the second or third post you've tracked me down in and called me out on.
I have been part of this group for a few weeks now. I have yet to post anything but have enjoyed reading and learning through others posts so far. The worst thing that has come out of this post for me is the fear that I can't post a question or concern on this group for fear that I may upset the wrong people. Instead of getting the support I need, I will end up feeling horrible and attacked like I'm sure the OP does here. I am not agreeing or disagreeing with her opinion. All I am saying is that we are all here for support and it's sad that instead of support she is getting anger and criticism. I think this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion and people are being very childish. I am currently living halfway around the world from all of my family except for my husband. This is our first pregnancy and I'm somewhat apprehensive and unsure of what's ahead. I was really looking forward to having people I could turn to for support and answering my silly questions and calming my nerves. This post with all it's catty, childish nastiness has made me really worried about ever posting.
This has gotten way out of hand...why do a lot of post turn into to arguments and then by them becoming arguments it makes people want to leave the bump and not post what's going on..
Wow. Just wow. I really don't think the internet is the right place for you. And I'm just going to say it....I don't buy it for a second that you have a history of loss or you wouldn't shun those who are hurting. Could another board be more supportive? Of course. But I really think you should just go crawl under a rock if you aren't able to skip over the miscarriage posts.
I had one at 23, 25 (which is the one I got to 5 months with) and now I am pregnant again at 29 which has taken me 3 yrs of trying just because I would prefer not to be constantly reminded about my loss doesn't make me a bad person.
Well how about this...get over those bumps in the road and keep going...I don't like reading about them either but that doesn't mean that they don't have the right to say something... Yes you have the right to post but just because it makes you hurt doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to post about something that you say you have gone through...you should know that and you of all people should help support those women and try to lift there spirits instead of trying to say they can't post what they want...
Oh. My. Goodness. There are a few women on here that just.... Wow. Snarky, selfish, ridiculous.... I'm shocked. How old are you people?!! Grow the f up! I find it outrageous that anyone who experiences a loss is expected to quietly disappear, even after being an active member, just because SOMEONE doesn't like to read posts about loss. Don't read it then! Isn't that easy? Those posts have had warnings on them. I too get anxious about miscarriage, especially since there wasn't any discernable growth between my last 2 scans. So what, if it turns out I miscarry I should just disappear to preserve a couple people's feelings? Like they can pretend miscarriage doesn't happen as long as I don't post about it?! Or like it's contagious and if someone posts about it and you read it then it will happen to you? Did you also pass along chain letters too? Ugh, just ugh. And that other chick talking about booberry, I think you need to get a life.
I'm sorry, but what's wrong with the active users saying goodbye? There is NOTHING wrong with talking about miscarriage and I'm sorry but not talking about it isn't going to make the chances of it go down! I don't make it all about me and if I don't want to see it I am smart enough NOT to read that thread! This is my first pregnancy but I have accepted that miscarriage can happen, and I know many women who have been through it!
I'm more of a lurker than a poster, and I've seen @BooBerry137 all over the place. I really think a lot of people are just misconstruing her posts and making her out to be a bully because she was direct and didn't beat around the bush. I for one find that refreshing and would prefer straightforward, honest opinions when I'm in need of some advice.
With that being said, OP just try and stick with threads that relate to you and avoid those that may trigger your fears of miscarriage. I'm terrified of having one myself and I know I'd need all the support I can get if that happens, and I'd hope I would be welcome here anytime to share.

I think the tizzy was because you said you don't think they should post that subject on this board, not because it's a difficult subject for you to deal with. I wish I had posted more on my previous board (f15) before my loss, because the loss board was very difficult, and I never felt comfortable posting. Esp when I went to ttcal; it was overwhelming.
It's a sad reality and if you can't handle reading it then dont, but these women that are posting about it are living through it and need support more than anyone now. Just because you don't like seeing it doesn't mean that they should have to go to a separate board for it since they have been here since the beginning just like you. Deal with it or don't read it, it's as simple as that.
