alright I am piecing out of this thread because apparently the title lies. too many flames in this joint.
Just take a breath, and try not to take everything as a personal attack. We gave you honest answers, and welcomed you to participate. There really shouldn't be any hard feelings.
Yeah that's creepy as fuck and no we aren't opposed to new participants. It's fucking weird when someone admits to lurking for a year or whatever and never introing. Like "hey I've been watching you for a year and you guys seem fun" ok so if we seem fun then jump in we don't bite.
This. I know its public forum, but common courtesy still applies. Like a park is a public place, but if you saw the same moms at the playground regularly for a year+ wouldn't you at least say hi?
Second FFFC... I have developed a drooling problem since having Sonia. If I lean forward and don't pay attention, sometimes drool will just pour out. What the fuck is this?
I guess in connection to KFitz. My confession is that I lurked for a long time and I know a whole lot about you all and you know nothing about me. Does that make me creepy? I don't think so, but apparently you all are opposed to new participants I guess?!
This is extremely creepy. New participants? Yeah that's fine. Someone who has spent an extreme amount of time watching us without us knowing, not ok! How do we know that you aren't a 50 year old man who likes to look at pictures of pregnant women, or worse babies? How do we know that you aren't someone who is gathering information on one of us and becoming a stalker? We don't. That is why we are upset after finding out that someone "knows a whole lot about us and we know nothing about them".
Yeah, it's creepy. I would not mind if you just went on your merry little way and didn't come back. But that's just me.
Uh, not sure why you're confussed! Famous said "jump in we don't bite"! No need to be dramatic about it!
:eyeroll: You all are being dramatic not me.
Honestly, if you have been lurking all this time you know that this type of response isn't going to go over well. You got honest answers and then got welcomed in to the community. I don't understand why you're being snarky.
Ooooh, off to a fun start in here! Good luck with that, yo.
I am a defender of the lurkers usually, but have a hard time defending a whole year without speaking up. I'm not offended by it, but I'm not gonna pretend like it's not a tiny bit weird

Not opposed to new people, no. Slightly creepy? The way you worded it, yes.

Well ya kinda brought it upon yourself. It wasn't the admission of lurking, it was the follow-up. I personally don't mind lurkers who aren't creepy about it. Even if you are at first it normalizes I think. Realize that we are a support group and we aren't here to crucify you for x or y. I personally like the idea of an AMA thread.

I don't know if this is so much a confession as a conspiracy theory: I wonder if some of these newbs who are suddenly comfortable jumping in on this new board are actually people who were once on our board but flamed out. I can't help but wonder if maybe Jalopy, Voldy, Sockgnome, etc., might be among us again. Time will tell...

Guys, don't worry, she's just going to go back to lurking and learning about us.
BUT IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CREEPY SO DON'T WORRY.
wtf I am doing what I was told to do to fit in and you guyz are still going after me. I pieced from the thread but I keep getting tagged back or talked about behind my back. Lurkerz going to lurk. What do you expect? It is the fing internet.
Sometimes I feel like the spurp13 of NY. I feel like we have a lot in common in terms of what we have been through, issues, and how we handled our entry to motherhood.

I always thought it was "peace out'? I guess I learned something new today.
And calm down, i didn't even see your other thread before I wrote the above.
