Well after internal conflict of whether to come back read the insane amount of posts and post or not you can see which side won.
To those that are curious, I had literally no inclination that my little technote would inspire backlash. Despite the thoughtful responses of why it did, it's still way above my head lol. As a few ladies have now mentioned though it did seem to conveniently corral a nice little group to ignore all at once. Perhaps also gave other quiet lurkers the ability to do the same.
So, you read what you wanted to read, which was the grateful pats on the back and ignored every other possible perspective of what your fellow Bumpies have thoughtfully, albeit direct, snarkily (sp?) or humorously typed out for you to consider. Okey dokey, gotcha.

@HomeyDontPlayThat no but she blocked all the other people. So she can only see the grateful pats. Hee hee!
Took yesterday off, just read this thread. And OP... There's a keyboard command on Mac for screenshotting a selection, and if you need to annotate you can easily do so in preview. No need for paid software.

@HomeyDontPlayThat I'm pretty sure she can't see your post, ifyoucatchmydrift. Also, until this moment, I've been reading your screen name as HomeyThatDontPlay. I've been thinking of you as a badass homey that don't play games. A conception supported by the content of your posts and excellent gif usage.

Yes, it's command + shift + 4 but it then saves to your desktop and you must edit in a different program. It works... it's just not as convenient.

Really? You start a post about how to deal with cattiness on a board that has had very little drama. Then you block everyone that is offended by your over the top and unnecessary tutorial? I think you're doing this whole bmb thing wrong.
This board is actually filled with amazing, smart, funny, sarcastic, and interesting women. Women who can state their opinions and respectfully disagree with others. I'm sorry that your hypersensitivity is going to prevent you from experiencing the board's awesome culture since everyone will be blocked!

Aha, that's awesome. I sound like such a thug that way. I just miss In Living Color and the lack of fcuks Homey gave. I'm really quite warm and fuzzy. I cried during Fast and the Furious 7 for pete's sake. Pathetic pregnancy hormones. But thanks doll ♥ I love my gifs.

I love that her post started what she was complaining about... If you have that much time to be offended and block strangers Internet you need to get out of the house or at least binge watch Netflix.

That being said I absolutely encourage anyone to say anything that they want to as that is one of the God given rights of the internet and fortunately most places have a way to make those comments disappear aka ignore/block (alternately when not available thats' what scripts are for).
muybueno - When I think of something interesting maybe I'll do another technote. I'm grateful of the compliment. There is a program called SnagIt that makes it dead simple. In case you are interested. Really love that program!
Also to those of you who have privately messaged me and the couple of folks who posted their thank you's who didn't know how to use the ignore feature thank you for letting me know. I'm glad a couple of people found it useful! The force is now with you
QFP- both the original meaning and the new meaning bestowed upon us by @whaat
What is happening? Did anyone block me yet? I hope so. I came back and I'm still disappointed. Don't make me bust out an AE to make some drama. I can roll OG like that.

Sounds like someone else is just as bored if they're reading and posting on this site. I mean stop thinking you're above everyone else and just own it. I second the comment about how we are pregnant not preggo. If you must use an abbreviation just use pg.
And yes I'm too lazy to quote or tag. Hopefully you all realize who I'm talking to.

Oh, and, you can't directly call someone a bitch, or any other name. If you're going to show up exactly twice since this bored started, and just call people bitches when you do, then at least learn how to be slick about it.....bag that one might use on a Summer's Eve.

WTF it ate my post. Anyway to above quote: Funny that you're the only one that's had a comment removed, presumably got a warning, and are about to get another.
But not really because if you're gonna be a troll, at least be a good one and be entertaining/original. "Preggo bitches" with no lives is some pretty low hanging fruit, dude.
