Something to read if you're bored. Or not.

Read her post titled "diary of a mean girl". Read the comments for extra points.

I don't think I've ever seen anything from this particular poster, but I commend her for growing up and for pointing out on her blog her former asshattery and apologizing for it.

I get extra points!!

So, I read the post and the comments...... I remember this particular poster and her responses take "mean" to an entirely new level.  I am glad that she has realized that she did not act appropriately.

I do know who that is. to her.

I know of several people on The Nest that should take that to heart.

Interesting! I remember her from the bump. She was definitely the ring leader over there. I read through a few of the comments, it's funny to me how many people were "victims" of her snark.... but they follow her blog.

I have no idea who she is, but I don't think I could be so quick to forgive if my feelings were so hurt. I absolutely do get the idea that your feelings can be hurt online (yes, there is a real person on the other side of the keyboard!) so I applaud that recognition. I hate the whole, "If you get your feelings hurt from a stupid message board, maybe YOU'RE the problem" mentality.

In this case, if I were a victim of the bullying, I'd probably think, "Good for her! I hope this change sticks!" but wouldn't actually type out, "Oh, you made me cry for days by insulting my fledgling mothering abilities and leave the board, but now I'm SO happy you've had a change of heart. Let's be BFFs!"

Maybe I'm just not a very nice person, though.

Oh, I absolutely agree with everything about this post.  I was kind of...appalled by the whole 'let's be BFFs"-type comments.

I read a bunch of the comments too and I agree with amanjay.  I don't get the oh now you've changed business.  Im also think it is sort of funny that so many people who apparently don't like her follow her life.
