OmahaGal:
peace out. hope you get the constant attention you need somewhere else.

Lame.

We'll definitely miss you on this board, J., but I completely understand. Sorry you're dealing with this.

Boo...you'll be missed!!! People are dumb...try to not let them get to you! You are such a kind and friendly person and your family is just adorable! Best wishes!

Ugh. That really sucks. I also enjoyed your posts and will miss them. People need to realize that there is an unspoken rule of what goes on the nest stays on the nest. I too hope you come back after the drama llama stops with the ***.

I guess even though I've been along for a loooong time, this is something I was unaware of. Although I have nothing to do with whatever Jess is dealing with, I'm pretty sure 99% of people don't keep things just on the nest. I remember conversation of "townie" GTGs where "*** will be talked" (or something like that). I am aware that there's a lot of emailing going on behind the scenes and out in the open on facebook. Many of us have met up for play dates, girls nights out, etc. Quite honestly, when things went down with Jess a few weeks ago I didn't remember that she had asked for nobody to say anything. The house was up for sale and photos were taken for the MLS. It didn't seem like a secret to me. I was very glad that I wasn't the person who slipped and said something because had I been in the situation I probably would've said something like, "oh I heard he got a great job in whatever city." If you post something in the internet it's out there for anyone to see. I know I have someone spying on me that posted maybe once or twice a veeeery long time ago. (6 or so years ago maybe?) Anything I post could very easily be passed on. I'm more than aware of that. Now you have zero waiting period before you can post. Anyone can see any post even if they are not community members or logged in. That means zero privacy. It must be treated as such. I'm sorry that someone felt safe and later found out that it wasn't safe and that they've been someone violated or whatever, but if you don't want people involved you must keep it to yourself, or at least keep it off of a completely open internet forum.

I have nothing to do with whatever is going on, but you have to be real here. Whatever is going down could very well be completely innocent. as was in the previous case. If you feel as though leaving this board all together is the way to solve this problem then you're free to do so.

You will be missed. You've always had great advice and I hope for the best for you and your family. Good luck and I hope this helps clear out some unnecessary drama. People never cease to amaze me by acting like 16 year old girls thinking everyone's business is their own. Again, you'll be missed.

Not on topic but I'd have to agree. A bunch of women together and it will ALWAYS happen.

I guess I'm referring more to people not on the Omaha board. I don't know what went down here, but I would never talk to an outsider regarding something that was posted here. That said I agree that people should be careful with what they post as it is a public board.

ditto this. I will definitely miss Laws quotes and hearing about Ruby updates. Best of luck...hopefully we will run into each other sometime irl.

Wow, I didn't think this thread could get worse, but it did.

I know I'm a random, but you'll be missed. Those are some cute cute kiddos!

I know I'm stalked quite regularly on various boards all over the Nest. I no longer participate in the "Starting Over" board...it wasn't safe for me to discuss anything without getting emails, etc in reference to what I was posting.

It sucks, people should get a freaking life. Especially people who are lame and sorry enough to create an alter to harrass someone.

Do you really get that much joy out of snarking someone under a screenname that no one can tie back to you? Oooh...you're so tough and witty! Congrats on getting in low-blows and having no one know who you are! Aren't you awesome?!

I think it speaks volumes when people have the time, energy, and drive to stalk and harrass people on the interwebs. They should probably invest that time elsewhere. Like, on personality classes or maybe their own sorry lives.
