So....
Are people upset because the responses to the ttc posts haven't been the most positive?
Re: So....
i think so ....
i am waving my magic baby wand to impregnate you all!!
I think the point is being missed. Many are upset because things they have posted on here are being taken to other boards and put up for ridicule. Not just topics, but actual screennames have been mentioned. People can claim to be innocent as much as they like, but the proof is in the actions. The reason so many loved posting here is they could converse with each other and get support and opinions. No one wants to post in a place that they have to worry 'how will this be used against me elsewhere', at least not the type of women who would want to post on this board. So these women have chosen to move on.
this borad has NEVER been like the national boards where they are a constant snark fest where it's encouraged to be the biggest biatch on the screen. The SJ Nest board has always been known as being a "safe haven" for many people. Yes there has been drama/trolls/issues in the past, but the general tone of this board has always gone back to neutral.
Yes there have been flameful confessions, yes there have been prior posters who thrive on making mean comments, who thrive on C&P to other boards for the pure enjoyment of making fun of that "person". But... those people have left quickly because they realized that we wouldn't get caught up in the drama and feed the trolls, per se. We have been able to stay a united front for many years, supporting each other through many sad, and many happy events. We have met each other IRL, and have become close friends. Some of us have suffered and the others have rallied around to support us during dark times. That is all I have ever found on this board, a lot of support, fun and nice people.
latelely, many of us girls that have been posting here, safely for many years, have felt that the snarkiness/bitchinesss that is found on the national boards has found it's way here. It just coincided with a huge influx of new members. Is that a coincidence? I personally don't think so. I think that the tone of one-two new members has changed the tone for the whole board. Many of the new members have previously stated that they came over here to get away from drama. Hmmm... now that there is drama here, can you go back to the knot?
I am sorry that one person had to make it personal. IMO, that's crossing the line. That has never been done before, nor should have been done in the first place.
I am sorry that a place that I have found to be fun, a good way to keep me sane while I am home on Maternity leave, is no longer that place any more. I hope that the tone shifts again, soon and can be more of a safe haven again, and not a drama fest.
Yep...just trying to figure out what is going on. I have no idea what is being copy and pasted on other boards per se so i really don't know if I have commented on any of them. Even though I posted in the linked thread I was quite obviously unaware that there was any drama in the making. Also, I have no idea what etiquette posts are being referred to and I could have even commented. So overall, it looks as though I might be oblivious.
I am aware of the inauguration threads because I gave my .02 that day. I was relatively unimpressed that there was hooplah about Michelle Obama's outfits though. If that offended anyone, I am not being mean but I honestly don't care and I would sincerely hope that my lack of caring wouldn't offend anyone.
