They know their post is bullshit when they keep it closed so nobody can comment.

Well, yeah. Let's not pretend they're ever going to admit they done fucked up.

Obviously it's hackers. 

[bunnyfungo]

Looks like they have a stellar IT team as well!

I feel like a shitload of sincerity went into that post. Haha. No.

"Last week we issued a public statement regarding recent events, and within that statement, we referenced several groups within The Bump. We excluded important groups of people including those found on the Infertility board as well as those who are unable to have children of their own, trying to conceive and who have experienced child loss. We apologize for any harm we caused.

Your participation, heart, and support within The Bump has been so beneficial to many men and women, and we recognize that fully. We are terribly sorry for not mentioning your importance to our community."

That is the post from DumpCaitlin for those who can not access TheDump.

My thoughts on this are they can fuck the fuck off.

[risscaboobs]

We understand things were handled poorly and are working toward improving the future. Fuck the people we already screwed over.

It means they could give a fuck what we think and they are just going to sit there and watch the bump burn.

Wow. It would have been too much to ask AWESOME if BumpCaitlin knew her audience. She's speaking to ladies who are dealing with the inability to have children of their own, infertility and child loss and her avatar is KU? Granted, it is a cartoon.. but the lack of attention to detail in the delivery of this response is almost as insulting as the actions that warranted it. Simple bitch.

Edited to move my text from the quote box. Because you can do that here. Which is amazing, btw. 

Holy fuck I just noticed that. That is FUCKED UP!

[ghostmonkey]

All the shit that has been said and request...


and THAT is the point they decided to focus on.

[Deleted]

Right, because that was totally the only issue...

[mrss44]

Awe thanks DumpCaitlin that totes fixed everything




...not

[teej]

Crazy Dump... I was just telling DH about their statement and how they phrased it as parents to be, parenthood and everything in between. WTF!

[yummybunny]

This is what took them to come up with since FRIDAY? A poorly worded bullshit apology? She couldn't even use proper capitalization in the title before she c&p what her boss sent her.

[morwen]

Yeah it's pinned at the top of TTGP to, I assume it's at the top of all the boards

[Unknown]

They clearly are listening ::rolls eyes::

[joy]

I legit don't understand what they're trying to say. Do they mean they should've banned people from the infertility board along with Parenting? Or, they should've realized some of the people they were fucking over also hailed from boards that they respected? Or, they're sorry that the Infertility boards were affected by their mass banning, but notsorry about the other boards?

Y'know what? I don't care.

EDIT: Yes, I do.  Someone explain because my brain is tired.

[teenybenoit]

It's just sad that this is the best they got when they know they are wrong. They have certainly lost a huge wonderful bunch of knowledgable, caring women.

Their loss.

[morwen]

joy, I'm reading it as when we talked about the different groups that make up our board we left out a whole bunch of them, sorry, you're all important to us (for our ad revenue) okay the part in brackets wasn't actually stated but....they also don't have the original statement pinned so it's hard to tell but that's what I'm taking from it.

Edited: yes I think it was prompted by what @whitney linked

Their previous "apology/explanation" posts have been deleted, but in the most recent before this one they addressed their audience as "parenthood, parents to be, and everything in between". All this "apology" addresses is that they failed to include those other groups in their last statement.
Because that makes it all better.
