There is nothing more to say. This conversation is going nowhere and is a waste of energy for all involved. Thank you for tonight's entertainment. You've all been great.

Also OP there is the CDC website that includes a nice little map and spreadsheet of the Zika areas. Check it out and then talk to your doctor about your concerns because at the end of the day, you make the decision on the rewards vs risks of traveling during pregnancy.
To be honest, I've read a few posts tonight that have totally put me off. I can't believe how cruel some of your comments can be.. and it's consistently the same people. This site should be a source of comfort and guidance for new Moms. They shouldn't have the fear that they'll be bullied or poked fun at. I would expect more support from fellow Mom's to be. It's frankly disappointing to see some of these responses.
Meh. As someone who has done little else but AW herself on the HDBD threads, I'm not sure how you get to tell everyone else how to behave. A lot of the women on here are extremely supportive. It's fiftieth drive by/personal Google/AW posts that don't sit well with us.
I would also like to point out that the person calling us names for not rallying around this new person with rainbows has not bothered to offer support to our regular who has in fact dealt with a horrible loss today.

I'm actually totally surprised by her reaction. Since I recognized her avatar pic, I figured she was "regular" enough to get how it works here.
And on the other note, I do find it weird that there are some people who *only* post in the HBDB thread. Why not jump in elsewhere too?
If you read my proceeding posts, you'd see I said just that. There are plenty of women in this forum who provide constructive and valuable information/discussion. Nice of you to result to name calling... AW? Nice. A new low.

You most definitely called us names first. Allow me to refresh your memory...
@joyful08 lucky for me, I'm due in February and not March, so I'll be sticking around with the smart asses. I know many of you take pride in running off people who disagree with your bully.

Ive always wanted to use this gif! Squee! Andplusalso what everyone else said about you name calling a bunch of times already. truth.
No like, for real @mporath041815 .. All you've posted on is HDBD, US AWs, and various other posts of the like. Offered little support to the various people who have either asked questions or had losses. You only posted to the devastating loss tonight after being called out. Then you want to call us names and start MUD.
You are officially on my post it. TB is not the place for glorified self validation. Some of us here truly appreciate the support and give it back to others. If you don't like it and you just wanna show off some pregnancy pics to a bunch of people you're not interested in creating a relationship with (which, whatever floats your boat), find a new forum. This isn't the place you're looking for.
And all the other "newbies" who introduced so recently that I couldn't even get you in the spreadsheet yet, please for the love, lurk the board. Maybe you might hate it here. Maybe you might love it. But we have a system and if you aren't down with the rules and regulations, then go to babycenter or some other site. They have less "bullies" over there.
And for the record, we aren't bullies for directing you, who did not follow the intro post and giant "READ THIS FIRST" in all caps post, to the correct avenue for posting. Follow directions. Simple. And if you make a mistake, which even I have done so in the board, just move on and cross post and leave it at that. It really isn't rocket science.
Like I just do not have the patience tonight. Everything else seems so trivial to what some of our beloved members are going through tonight. I do not have any sympathy for people whining and moaning about posting regulations and how "meaaaaan" we are.

I'm so with you. It's a sad night here and all of this whining and drive by crap is so freaking insensitive.
Oh sweet geezus, this *is* a community of support. Which most of us do regularly beyond solely AWing bump pics and complaining that we don't vom enough rainbows. If someone can't see how much we fiercely love our contributors, then they are most definitely not active in the majority of threads.
FWIW, my EDD was changed to late January and I chose to stick around this February board for the type of community that has been established here from the get go. I may not mind the drive-by's as much as others, but being called a smart ass collectively with the other amazing ladies on here is sure not going to make me go out of my way to change how I post or how I react to being called a bully. It isn't us that needs to grow up.
Newbie here - and you guys scare me...and I also might love you
welcome to the club! come have a seat :-) I promise we're not scary. we've all been flamed before. if you can roll with the punches and don't post a bunch of random threads, you will do fine :-)
What the hell did I just miss? Anyway, I actually still don't know what the "AW" in "U/S AW" means. Is that just like the sound you make when you see something cute like "awwwww"?
I go to sleep & miss all the good stuff! A little late to the party but in a time zone at last 5 hours ahead is a decent excuse.......anyways i will once again reiterate that i have never found this group of ladies nothing but great! Yes there is snark & a bit of flaming when randoms (& regulars too) say stupid stuff but the support & love in the most serious situations is undoubtable. As a late jan edd i came over here cause i appreciated the snark & dont understand coming along & throwing a strop cause you dont like something in an already established board. Meh, you girls are great
edit: after catching up on the other threads i think f17 is def being punked or just randomers thinking its fun to wind us up
Wow. I missed a lot tonight. FWIW, I agree with basically all the PP's and don't feel like there's much more to be said. There's a lot of snark here, it's fine. If you're not used to it, you'll learn to roll with the punches eventually. It's really not that bad. Although, sarcasm is my best friend, so I thoroughly enjoy the snark and sarcasm on this board.
And in terms of name calling, don't dish it if you can't take it. That's all I have to say about that.

Edited because I meant to post this in the other Zika post. Sorry ladies! I'll be better.
I tried to post this gif but TB sucks.https://funnyjunk.com/youtube/4060462/Slenderprank+part+2/18
