You girls have just proven my point.

WHAT POINT? you have yet to make one. You just keep saying we don't agree and whatever. Please explain.

My point is this is a board for us to support one another.  Not a place to be afraid and re-read everything we write, for fear that we're going to get flamed.  Especially when you don't do so much as to say anything positive, but are quick to engage in an argument and flame someone for something that was obviously a joke.  And yea, thanks for the dig of me not being able to respond to you without checking in with my friend.  I find mean people intimidating, and have a hard time expressing myself, so that's my problem.  At least I can admit it.

No one said that @jemomma shouldn't post here, but she and you haven't been posting a whole lot, and decide it's NBD to flame someone and jump to conclusions and judgement?  I think it's unnecessary, and I think it's a big reason why are board has died down so much.  I don't get your issues with billy but this kind of repeated targeting is disgusting.

[holliberry28]

Listen, I shouldn't have said it was any one posters fault about the board dying down. That wasn't right. And that's not to say you haven't been supportive, but it's also be proven that there has been ganging up on certain people that seems much more excessive than with others. If you look at a pattern, you'll see certain people can't say anything, without whatever been written being twisted and scrutinized. And, that's hurtful. That's all I wanted to get across out of all this.

[holliberry28]

Just to be clear, I posted in response without speaking with billyhorrible, so she has nothing to do with this.

Maybe I'm in the minority, which is fine, but I think a little sensitivity goes a long way.

Ugh. Just so much what the fuck. This passive aggressive bullying is horse shit. Way to take what people write and twist it around. It's disgusting.

@hazeldublin, you are so off and I can't even respond to the crap you wrote. Especially toward someone who is a great mom and gives so many people support. Mean girls at its finest.

Holly why did you tag me here? It feels like you were calling me out. But now your blanking my posts? What is your end game here?
I am literally standing here turning the sausages for my dinner waiting on you to reply. Because I'm honestly hoping there was an actual reason you picked on my post here. Between @billyhorribles treatment of me over the past year(?) and now you. I'm starting to wonder if you and your pal are after me?

I'm not after you at all. I just did not like what you wrote insinuating how horrible it was that they were asking for beer and a bandaid like the world was ending.

I am just trying to understand your point of view. Sensitivity to what?

Giving someone the benefit of the doubt and not assuming the worst.  

[holliberry28]

I'm done here. Nothing I can say is going to get my point across.

Are you fucking joking. You just came in to drop bombs and hurt feelings? No explanation?

I don't think I've said anything to hurt you except to say I responded to you initially because you thought I was talking about her and insinuating she was maliciously trying to scare her husband with the prank.  That's all.  If you have issues with her, frankly, you should ask her yourself.  The only reason I said anything is because she has been targeted for months if not longer, for innocent jokes that are automatically blown out of proportion, because they are posted by her.    If you are saying that you disagree, fine.  That is where I said I will agree to disagree.  I cannot change your opinion.  

If other responded saying their intent wasn't bullying, ok.  I just called it out because I've seen the pattern displayed repeatedly, and I got fed up with it.  Is that to say I don't think you guys are valued members, no.  I never said that.   I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself, but I was commenting on targeted one person and constantly having something negative to say.  If you really believe what she did was malicious, I don't know what else to say to that, but that definitely is not the case.

holliberry28 you hurting me comes from your original tag of me. Your jumping to conclusions in what I wrote. You also only tagged me. And it's all involving Billy who has done all this shit. So I feel like your targeting me. It's very strange how your jumping to the defence of someone who fucking hates me but she's the one who's targeted?
@jemomma and I had a huge back and forth a whole back and @scoop was on her side too. Am I crying about "bullying and targeting" no!
But you coming out of the blue and pinpointing me and twisting my post to be so bad it "disgusts" you.
I really hope you respond to this Holli because you fucking started all of this shit with me!

"Probably the poster who constantly posts ridiculous shit!
Crying wolf about an injured child to get more beer, is that real looking for a reaction?"
^^
That was what I was responding to, I thought it was extremely harsh and the billy's original post was not taken in jest as it was meant to be.  But, like I said, there's obviously a difference in opinion here.  

I can't speak for her, but I think it is highly unlikely that she hates you.  I think you are a good person, I just didn't like your comment about said joke.  If you want to know why she ignores you, you really should speak to her.  I wasn't pinpointing you hazel.

I'm not sure if this still needs clarifying, but @scoop I still come to this board because I value you and everyone. It's been 2-3 years with most of you by now. This group as a whole has helped me grow in my own journey as a parent and also got some friends out of it which is cool.

I don't think everyone is going to get along all the time, or for some of you ever, and I think that's pretty normal in any large social group.

I cant apologize for anyone or assume anything for anyone. I just wanted to acknowledge that I read this.

[alayne926]

Wow....I'll admit I just came in here to see why the Monday thread was still getting bumped....

I thought the billyhorrible's joke was inappropriate, hence the LT to @jemomma's post, but I didn't have time yesterday to address it and then the migrane from hell started and I forgot.

This board dying has NOTHING to do with a few posters, nor are those posters being "mean girls" by pointing it out that it was shitty.

[jillywilly]

I've been tied up in meetings for the better part of the day so haven't really had a chance to weigh in here. I really honestly didn't even want to, because I hate confrontation. But this board, and the posters on it, are so valuable to me and have helped me through so much, from random questions to an outpouring of support during one of the hardest times of my life. I know we don't always all agree, but I really do hope that nobody feels unwelcome here, because at least for me, that's certainly not the case.

[billyhorrible]

Well some of y'all have been pretty busy. I have thoughts on that, but I don't thrive on drama, and I don't do private confrontations on public boards.

I will say that it's a little strange to be called out for not responding when I'm pretty sure most of the board knows I just started a new job, which usually involves being less able to post. Especially when I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be responding to. Someone not finding humor in the same thing I do?

[veggiemo]

Sorry guys, I'm just now seeing this. Figured I should respond somehow since I got tagged in but I'm not really sure what to say.

I kind of threw you under the bus with that tag by using you as an example. Sorry about that.

Not offended, unless I'm not understanding what you mean. Yeah I get flamed a lot but as others pointed out it also depends on the content of the post.
