2500 Comments 250 Love Its Third Anniversary Name Dropper
edited July 2014 in January 2012 Weddings
I have spent the last 2 evenings of my life reading all the drama on TTGP over on TB.  Nothing really better going on, so it was interesting.  

My question is why do you think we don't have that kinda drama here?  I know they are a MUCH larger group and therefore that tends to lead to problems, but I can only recall one drama instance over on TK. It was like 1 comment and taken care of.  

I am sure that things have been sad and people have felt some emotions, but I think its because we are mature enough to not get into the drama.  

What are your thoughts on why we haven't run into this problem here?

Re: Why do you think?

  • I find some people to be rude and not have a filter because they are online.
  • I fixed the question.  I see that I left it off...  So your response threw me off. 
  • We are passive aggressive and have marks witty/dry humor at times.
  • I am loving your honesty.  I would agree.

    I am very passive aggressive by nature. :(
  • I even find that I don't share a lot because of fear to be judged.
  • I do too. But I am sensitive so if someone say something that doesn't agree with me (which is really ok) but they point out why they are right and I am wrong, I get hurt.  Is that stupid?  you bet. To be fair if you did this to my face, I would feel the same.

  • Its just who you are. I like playing poor me when that happens.
  • I think the problem on TB is you have a lot of people who are no longer pregnant that should have moved on a *long* time ago who instead of being helpful to anybody posting have decided they're tired of seeing certain things for the bazillionth time and rip the poster to shreds. Honestly, you see it on some of the TN boards too.

  • I feel like they use The Bump las an extension of high school. There are the cool kids and not cool kids. Anyone who does something out of the norm is not cool and bashed for it.

    Here we are out of the high school mentality and living in real life. We rock!

  • Loving the posts. I agree there are the people who haven't moved on and should that cause drama over there. And I think most of us are passive aggressive over here at least to the extent that we won't post harsh comments even if we think the original topic deserves it. But to me that is part of being friends. Everyone has their moments of crazy or stupid. Being a friend is putting up with those moments and not making that person feel worse for acting that way. If that makes sense. So I like to think it's just because we are close enough and mature enough.

  • You guys are awesome!
  • I don't know. I think we act like we are adults and we act like we are here in person. I think we have gotten to know each other so well, (I consider all of you to be some of my closest friends, I hope that doesn't say too much about my social life outside of here) and since we have done that, we aren't just random strangers on the internet anymore. We can't be rude - and frankly, it's not in most of our natures. I can't be rude in real life, can't be rude online either, even when someone is rude to me first. I think that some people will eternally act like they are in high school though... and it's the people on those boards.

  • Definitely. There's a difference between being rude and being honest. I will be honest with you all and always want you to be honest with me. I think it also helps that there's not hundreds of individuals posting on this board, and that we're down to a small handful of close individuals.
