So I'm a regular here. Been here since the start. I'm in the initial FB group but not the new one (either missed my invite or the post referring to it or not wanted) . What's the point in resurrecting this post to mock people? The reason I thought most of the regs didn't join at the time was because it was too early for their comfort level.
I'm also not getting in to an argument about this but what's the point in mocking me or anyone else who chose to join the initial FB group? Because I'm assuming that's the tone of the last few posts? Maybe I'm wrong though.
I'll be open and honest. There were some harsh things said in the first Facebook group about some ladies on TB. So yes, it stirred some stuff up.
Everyone has their own different comfort level on when to get involved with people they have never met in real life on a more personal level such as Facebook. For example - I wouldn't ever leave my email address open on a public forum. But hey - that's just me and my opinion.
And highfive - you are an awesome contributor to this board. The announcement of a second group was made on regular threads that regulars post on to avoid Randoms requesting to join. The decision was made to keep the group small so that the space could be more intimate. So after a week, the group decided to decline any more requests.
Totally not mocking anyone for joining the original Facebook group. A lot of the regulars just recently migrated over to a new Facebook group that we agreed to kind of keep under wraps and close it to new members after about a week or two to keep the group small and familiar. This was after the influx of ads about 3 weeks ago on TB making it totally not user friendly.
In the UO thread some people were complaining about being excluded but I think some of the OG Facebook folks were confused and thinking they were talking about THEIR group... not the newest one. Then some not so nice things were being said about some of us and it got a little nastier than it probably needed to... #hormones.
It's totally about comfort level. None of us in the newest Facebook group were comfortable in January, but we are now on the condition that we recognized every member that joined the group.
I don't actually mind that I missed the new FB group. I contribute but am far from a regular these days so get that side of it. And I also get that people have different comfort levels which is why I mentioned that on my initial reply here. And I saw the post in UO so I know where this started. I just feel hashing up this original post and typing random emails and gifs is implying anyone who did join are a bunch of crazy flakes or something. Which they or I am not. I respect you didn't want to join, but respect those who did and let this post go.
Clearly though someone is in both groups and is relaying messages which is shady and is very much breaching a trust in the group. And for the record , they aren't doing a very good job unless I missed a shed load of posts mocking regs. I see none of it. Of course not everyone is gonna like each other. Who cares! Now we all now know there are two groups, let's just leave them private and separate and not be running back and forth tit for tat. It's not fair and another BMB is gonna bite the dust if this is the carry on.
Unfortunately when you start throwing around extremely negative words such as c**t, you lose all trust in pretty much anyone. We don't know who is who over on your fb group, but the name calling is a low blow for anyone.
I'm in the first FB group, and I've looked high and low for someone calling a reg on tb a c*nt nugget. Can someone give a reference? I guess it could have been deleted, but I don't think anyone on that group would let that just sit out there, the group is pretty supportive and *usually* drama free.

It could have been deleted, it could just be hidden due to Facebook's weird sorting algorithm, I don't know. It's enough to say we know that some truely nasty things were said after a misunderstanding that was caused by people not realizing there were 2 groups.
There was a lot of snark on here yesterday and sarcastic things said about the members of the 2nd group BY MEMBERS OF THE 2ND FB GROUP because that's just how we roll, we're weird and sarcastic and joke around in good fun. At no point was anyone saying anything mean or derogatory about the first break off and yet members of the first group took it upon themselves to take offense despite not actually following the whole story line. We don't GAF about your group, you guys do you and we'll leave you to it, just don't talk shit, its as simple as that.
so are we adding people to the fb group or no? I requested to be added originally and never got the invite. I have been pretty quiet the last three weeks, but that's because my father in law (who my husband just reconnected with last June after over 23 years) was here for a week, then we drove 18 hours to New York, stayed for a week with my parents, had our baby shower, drove 18 hours back to Florida and now my father in law is back until tomorrow. Sooo can I be added? I clearly missed any posts about a new group!

See it's all about perspective, I totally read the new posts and gifs as just reviving this thread Bc a lot of people had expressed interest in FB and the first group (as far as I know) is still open. No? K...
