Honest question
ashleywuli
member
please answer this 100% honestly no nastiness. This is just a question, I am wanting a yes or no answer. Is this group as horrible as the nov 2015 group? I really don't want to delete this app. But I seriously can NOT handle some of the "ladies" on that board. They are so negative and nasty. I am due in November but really want to join a happy positive welcoming board.

Re: Honest question
But otherwise, I'd say it's just a matter of some people's opinions being different and some are more sarcastic/snarky than others.
Of course there's always that one person on every sex/gender thread (not always the same person) who has to point out that we're finding out the SEX of the baby, not the gender (because technically their gender identity might not end up matching their biological sex).
ETA: I honestly thought I put it mildly and with the facts. So I can only assume one person. How very un-nasty and un-rude of you.
Yup she wants a positive and happy board to join with no negativity and no one putting her down ? I don't see why you have such problems with that ? I love being happy too, I wouldn't want negativity when asking questions (: !! Have a nice day ❤️
Calling people horrible is not positive...
tearing people up because their opinions differ from yours, and you "automatically" think your right because your trying to make a point doesn't make you right either
Please tell me where I did that. And you still didn't address the fact that calling someone or a group of people horrible isn't positive or nice. That's all I want admitted.
However turning to another board and name-calling simply because someone doesn't agree? Calling everyone horrible and nasty? That's rude.
It is the same fights that happen on every board on the same sensitive topics - over posting questions, not using search function, etc.. this specific situation stemmed from baby showers, which anyone knows causes debates on the bump.
We just happen to have a group of outspoken women who when asked for the umpteenth time if having a shower for a third child is tacky, respond with, "yes, it is tacky". Because they ASKED for opinions Then we are jumped on for being negative, nasty mean girls. Obviously when that happens, it never ends well.
The threads that get nastiest are when every other day, threads are started for the explicit purpose of calling us mean. That's not helpful. We feel baited,m and lots of warnings get given out because people like to report.
What would you expect if a stranger marched into your board, went "whoa! You ARE b*tches!" And left? And Ps - that wasn't me if you were trying to insinuate that it is.
Didn't say it was, I also wouldn't post people names in the quotes either, that's just uncalled for, and yes everyone has different opinions, but calling someone else down, and saying "just because you got yourself knocked" isn't the right way to go about expressing your opinion either !!
Once again, you've dodged my point by not acknowledging that going to another board and saying "whoa, the rumors are true" is also not positive or constructive, but in fact rude. Can you really not see that, or are you just dodging by redirecting to a totally unrelated statement?
Saying something is true is in their own personal opinion, I read the replies and yes SOME of them were put very very rudely, there was a nicer way to go about it and a less rude high school approach !
There are quite a few ladies who are getting really upset when they ask a question and don't get the answer they want. If you ask me if you're showing at 6 weeks my answer is "no, but bloat is very common in the first trimester."
Cue the OP calling me (and anyone else with a similar answer) "mean" and "unsupportive".
There seem to be a handful of N15 ladies who are just quick to think that everyone is being nasty to them when it's simply not the case. Especially when we've had 30 "am I showing" threads in the last two weeks.
We've also had probably 3-4 users start threads egging others on and baiting them to say ANYTHING that could be taken the wrong way so they can get them banned. So immature if you ask me.
We had one user literally complaining about her local weather and she got a warning for commenting "gtfo hail" in a random chat thread..... Like really?
I've had 2 warnings, one for saying "hahahaha" and another for posting a funny joke/bonding post to get some laughs that restricted someone's ability to enjoy the Internet. Like these are the things people are getting banned for. It's ridiculous.
Wow that's crazy ! We don't have them problems, we had a few very rude people, but we were all like 8-12 weeks and super hormonal
if swearing and saying "rumors are true" is just expressing personal opinion.... But using the word tacky isn't.....
Nevermind.
