And this is why I never venture off if M14.
My FFFC: I just spent way too much at Target and told DH I was only buying a few items. Plus I let DS play with his birthday present (stil in the packaging) while I put things away. I then made DS cry when I took it away and said "You can have it back in 5 days when you turn 1."
I second this (being allergic adds to it) miss thing saw her first cat yesterday and cried hysterically. Thank goodness we have dogs they don't make her cry lol
My gif was in honesty and an "attempt" at humor towards the chick who needs husbands approval for weight loss. I truly am fat. Almost at hover round fat and so my gif was pretty honest.
The gif was inappropriately placed due to the context of the conversation. Know your audience. What is the problem with just saying, "My bad, I see how that could have upset some people." Instead you came and talked shit about me when I have done nothing to you.
This. Right there. How are you supposed to know your audience when you've just been encouraged to join in on a site wide post with 100s of others? I don't know these people. I don't post with them. I don't know what they are going to find offensive or not.
And what? I'm only supposed to post there if I have time to read through all the pages and then figure out the tone and what's acceptable or not? Jesus. Not to mention all the sarcasm that doesn't always come across when you don't know the person and inside jokes that not everyone is a part of.
I thought a site wide FFC/UO was a stupid idea before....think it's a really stupid idea after all this drama.
I didn't find yalllow's post offensive (didn't find it funny, either (sorry, yalllow!), but certainly not offensive)....but then again, I know how yalllow posts and that gif was yalllow style.

Ok. Some people didn't find it offensive and some people did. The whole point of the FFFC/UO is to stir up drama. It always has been. So, congrats, guys. We did it!

Drama is one thing, but it's never forgotten! So really, it's just a thread to see who people can jump on, and who will be chased away, it rarely ends in 'no hard feelings guys, it was all just a bit of fun'
Maybe for people that take it too seriously. Like, disagreeing about drinking while TTC, or posting a dumb gif shouldn't be reason to GBCTCF. I don't have yalllow on a post-it or something. It's just for fun. And if people are taking it too seriously then they need an internet break.

I get what you're saying, really I do, but I've seen lots of people making it near impossible for the victims of flaming to post anywhere without old crap being brought up, and those snide little comments usually end up with a whole crowd of people asking for recaps on past posts, then it all ends up being really uncomfortable for the flamed to post again......resulting in people having ae's. Which everyone complains about. Sometimes, you just can't win.

After the way you went off the handle on this thread bunnyfungo, I highly doubt you don't have yalllow on a post it now. I get it. Admitting you're wrong is hard. Admitting you went over board is also hard. It's time that you admit it at least to yourself though. Ffs it was just a gif!

Um. Wut. I still think the gif was insensitive. I maybe made one comment on it in the site-wide thread. So any of the other heat she got came from other people. I commented here because she mentioned me. She immediately went on the offensive with her gifs. Maybe I've been away too long, but I felt like she was attacking me. Guess I'm not used to her posting style. But I didn't fly off the handle. So I have no clue what you're talking about. In fact, by the end of it I posted a "We cool" gif. So there is no beef. Are you just trying to stir up more drama when there's none?

Nope. I just read what you wrote on this m14 FFFC thread. You came off butt hurt and exceptionally defensive over something that didn't even remotely deserve that kind of response. A gif is not a big deal and we can all argue if it's offensive or not but the truth is there have been way worse things posted within this group of people than that gif and they didn't receive any type of flaming at all. The way I read the whole thing (including your tirade here) it was a whole bandwagon flaming of someone thought to have not been around long. If someone much more well known had posted that same gif, nothing would have been said. And this whole thing is the exact reason I never take part in any of the site wide crap. It's always "come play!" And "we want everyone to participate!" But at the end of the whole thing, it really is "we want everyone not on parenting to come participate so we can pick at least one non-parenting member to flame the shit out of for something stupid."

I think the gif would have been poorly received no matter who posted it. But you don't have to agree. If you think Parenting is too mean and the threads are just to jump on people then don't participate. Or don't complain about it if you do and you get flamed. Was I defensive in my response. Yes. But I don't think I flew off the handle or went on a tirade. You're over-exaggerating to create your own drama.
I just caught up on this. Never change M14, never change.
Never change huh? You were once part of everything you now think is wrong here, does that mean you're admitting you were also wrong?
And the biggest change I see, is now the most malicious people have gone, this is a pretty p&r group.
Eta I am not trying to argue here, I just don't think what you're saying is fair.
Lol. Where did say anything is wrong? I said never change. I meant we as a group are still arguing. We've had our share of drama in the past, and we still do. Whether there's a hundred of us, or five of us. It's like a merry-go-round. Iand it was meant as a fairly innocuous comment.
As for me being a part of what's wrong here (in your words), that's laughable coming from you. I fully admit to calling a spade a spade and being blunt, and even keeping drama going, but anything I've done doesn't touch the level of drama you've brought to this board.
