Re: C&P via TIP: BNOTB bashes women for having two deceased children referenced in her sig.

  • I read that horrible thread last night.  Disgusting.

  • I didn't read the whole disgusting thread yet but O....M.....G. I think as an act of Internet vigilante justice, people should invade the board with baby sigs galore.
  • Read some of that this morning. Hot mess.

  • I saw it C&P'd somewhere else. That thread is disgusting.

  • This is the aspect of the internet that truly frightens me.  There are some sick-minded people out there who may be using the internet to vent their true tendencies, while what is manifested IRL is seemingly normal.  ICK.

  • Druid, I saw the thread where you asked Alabaster if she had a dragon tattoo. Which made reading that entire thread and the aftermath totally worth it.

  • So messed up.

    Now, I'm not saying alabaster deserves to get harassed IRL over her posts, but just because we're all hiding behind computers doesn't mean that anything we say will never come back to bite us. I'm into civility even on Internet message boards. But maybe I'm just boring. 

  • Wow.

    I was among the people originally pushing the board mods to create that board, because the baby-mania was everywhere, but within weeks that board got so incredibly cliquish and unpleasant.  I would never have dreamed that it would escalate to that, though.  Unbelievable.

  • That is just so disgusting.

  • I really, REALLY hate people this week!
  • That is heartbreaking. I didn't even notice the text. It's not even like she has pictures.

    I kept a picture of my cat after she died for nearly a year. It was comforting to me for awhile, even if just in a small way. I feel better about moving away from it now (and it started becoming a downer for me, too) but it was good for me for awhile.  

    Those biitches can right off.

    The bolded + they started constantly talking about babies.  Even if it's in the frame of "why do you eat babies" and "what sort of 'stay out of my womb' comebacks can I use on my MIL's hairdresser's next door neighbor's smirky daughter" it's still about babies.

    I can understand being upset about the dead baby photos some people on the bump have, but FFS.

  • Wait.  Does this mean we aren't the mean girls anymore?  I don't even remember why we were the mean girls, just that we were.

  • I only read the first page,  that was all I needed to determine that some of them suck.

    Weird, I was just reading that, because someone on another board mentioned drama and I'm nosey.  That thread was pretty bad.  The poor OP didn't have a picture or anything, just a little bit of small print text.

  • Whew. That's the cuntiestbunchabitches I think I've ever seen on the interwebs.

    And I hung around ML for a lotta years. Wink

     

  • I read that yesterday. Disgusting. 

    We're trying to end cyber-bullying among teenagers, but the adults are just as bad.  

  • Alabaster apparently started a second thread with a dead baby joke, but that was edited by a mod. 
  • Holy sh!t.

     

    I mean, even if you don't like the siggy, the way they said it is just horrible. Horrible. 

  • epphdepphd member

    I'm sure plenty of people have said all I would say and more, but what I want to know is did anyone invite the OP to our board?  It's not all kids all the time, and we aren't a bunch of evilfluckingcunts.

    Ouch.  But true.  We were never that bad, even in our heyday.

  • I have Childfree friends (yes, that is capital C Childfree, no kids ever not ever), not childless (may or may not have kids someday). They call kids things like sprogs, crotch droppings, pets with thumbs, etc. One of my best friends is one of these people, I think a lot of it is funny. I completely 100% support people who know they don't want kids, never say "just you wait" or any of that crap. And yet, the BNOTB people are literally making me ill.

  • And alabaster_angel has two under two.  So she's tearing into this poor woman for mourning her two stillborn children while her two healthy babies are right there with her.  The world is all sorts of fuckedup.

    Wuh? I must have missed this.  

     

    ETA: Nevermind, I found it. I foolishly didn't read until the end I was so disgusted.

    Agreed.  I read this yesterday too.  (totally took me away from my work).  And to answer a pp, yes, someone did invite her our board, and she got invited to the MM board as well.
