Wouldn't that be great it we could have just deleted troll-ey, insensitive, platitude posts? But we couldn't.
Dear TB,

Put on your big girl panties and deal with the situation you have created.

I swear TB is starting to feel like a cult where XO wants to convert everyone to happy people who spew rainbow puke and shit glitter. This is too little too late. You can't have an open discussion after you have decimated an entire community and crapped all over what the majority of people there know and loved. They are never going to own up the their complete fuck up so I am really not sure what they are trying to accomplish with this discussion. All people want is real answers and an admission of guilt and that wont happen.

I was just reading through their "open discussion" and I don't see ONE DAMN reply from HQ. BS.

[therealbug]

I'm pretty sure this is a response to the massive reaming they received on social media. If it was not for that they would be happy to continue to ignore everyone.

[rmpar29]

What a load of BULLSHIT! So fucking pissed that they are still lying so badly.

[bluedaisy0627]

I broke my radio silence to respond. I especially like my last response.

In one of the responses it says that bump may will no longer respond of engage in the community. I dunno...

It would be some kind of shit if she did all of that without the direction of the other admins or the company.

[readinglove]

I haven't been following - trying to avoid giving them clicks/page views. Anything earth shattering?

[holdingouthope]

"BumpAdmin" clearly = intern who pulled the short straw. What a joke.

1. They here us and will respond . . . but they can't change the past and want to work on "rebuilding." 

2. BumpMay will never interact with the community again (but apparently did not log off before leaving). 

3. They are trying to figure out the logistics of deleting the requested accounts. 

4. They are really good at giving non-answers.

5. They did not know how to quote or tag people properly.

6. They are really good at deleting posts and moving posts and giving non-answers. 

7. They claim to be moving all of the silence posts to BumpHQ board "to keep track of the conversation." 

8. They claim they no longer have interns posting but no one is buying that one.

I think we need to ask BumpAdmin to change their profile pic to this:

I would like to add to therealbug's number 4 about how they are good at good at giving non answers. It's so ridiculously obvious that they are using text book responses. It's like dealing with fucking robots that have no heart.

Wow...just, wow. So, basically, it's a "suck it up and deal with it because this is the way it is" response. Disgusting.

While searching to see if any media has picked this up (seriously, this should be a buzzfeed article..), I came across XO's glassdoor reviews. It's a funny read if anyone is bored.

www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/XO-Group-Reviews-E9843.htm

I personally love this review title: “I still suffer PTSD from XO Group”

[mellymel15]

BTW, I think they meant "tenets of its foundation," not "tenants."

Sorry, nitpicky and kind of snarky English major here
