Maybe we can post here

To stick up for our friend cat, since we're not allowed in a different thread.

cateyes is the most supportive and one of the nicest people I have ever met.

Well, it was an attack on how the thread was run...and she runs it, sooooo...

Thank you cateyes for taking on the GKU IF check in. I know it's a lot of work and a commitment (hence the reason I have never volunteered to run a check in!).

You have done a great job of trying to *upgrade* it to include more information.

You have also been kind enough to welcome feedback from others on the work you've done!

The **** system has been working great on the 3T board for a long time and not caused any tantrums.

I hope those who are truly active in the check in will provide constructive criticism if they find something makes them uncomfortable or maybe could be even better than it already is.

I would have posted this right on the thread, since I read it and throw in my love titties weekly, but I wasn't sure if my support would be well received today.

Probably not. ILY.

I'm not tying to WK or start shit but the snark directed towards certain members of the IF thread is quite unnecessary. While we can appreciate wanting to stick up for cateyes, posting in the IF check-in while KU is hurtful, barring you a grad of that particular thread. I love having grads sticking around the GKU board but the IF thread is kind of a safe haven and when you are bombarded by pregnant friends/people every day, it is nice to have a place to commiserate with people who know that feeling and not be bombarded with pregglies. These ladies are my friends/second family and this is just not cool.

I'm confused. So purposefully personally attacking someone is okay, but when someone is trying to stand up for their friend and does something insensitive accidentally it's not? I'm actually very sad that more people from the IF check-in didn't defend cateyes for all that she does with that check-in. They are definitely time consuming and I can guarantee that she would never do something hurtful purposefully, and as you pointed out, she was asking for feedback on the new format. 

I'm legitimately confused here and not trying to stir things up. 

[nuggetrn]

This whole thread is completely ridiculous and I cannot even believe that anyone thought it was a good idea to come in here and pile on the IF ladies. This was an issue meant to be resolved within that group and why anyone thought that bringing it out here to the main board was a good idea is beyond me.

[helloerrbody]

Where the fuck are my asterisks dammit!?!??!?

"Pile on the IF ladies"? No. Some of the people posting in defense are IF ladies. This is not a preggly vs IF thing and let's not make it one.

Explain to me what exactly is going on with all of the asterisks then.

I completely and totally agree with you nuggetrn.  This thread is incredibly unkind and very unnecessary.  Deb, you won that award for a reason, you don't need to defend your title.  I'm really confused as to why you even post here, you have so little posts and when you do post, they are mean.  This isn't TB anymore, you don't need to be an asshole just to be an asshole.

I can see the side from both points. I understand that risscaboobs did not post to intentionally hurt the ladies of the IF thread and while, IMO, joy came on a bit strong regarding her feelings about the asterisk system, I am not one to dictate how someone feels about something. Personally, I was not hurt by Rissca's post, but that doesn't mean someone else is not. Same in regards to the asterisk. I understand that cateyes puts a lot into the check-in and I appreciate the hell out her for doing so.

I just feel like starting this thread in a hostile manner was in poor taste and was trying to clarify why I felt that way.

[Deleted]

got it. so when cat is getting piled on in the thread she works her ass of to do for people, its not cool to defend her there.

also not cool to defend her outside the thread.

and since i don't post enough here i should just gtfo? sure.

For some reason people being shitty to my friend brings out my annoyed side.

Because the asterisks are a way of organizing the IF thread, not something to get worked up over.

I 1000% agree that there was a lot of overreaction going on right there, and cateyes did not deserve the brunt of the outburst. 

But trivializing other's feelings in a thread meant to mock the situation? Also not cool.

no, she flipped her shit. I understand maybe not liking the asterisk system. A simple PM about would've sufficed. Not a complete flip out on how this is all Bullshit, and multiple tags to Cat, and all made public. Cat is very receptive to others ideas, and only wants what's best for the check in, she has asked about how to go about trimming down the list without hurting feelings. It was not done purposefully, and EVERYONE knows that. So people just need to sit the fuck down, and chill out until it gets resolved. Especially since it's obvious that Cat is busy, and not able to read any of this or immediately remedy the dilemma.

No one said you could not defend your friend but the sarcasm and snark was not necessary.

I only voted for @debthelibrarian because you weren't nominated.

I laughed at this.

It was like the ultimate "ooooooooh burn" moment. I live for these moments.

[joy]

I own that I was angry. I own that I got heated. I also owned that Cat deserved an apology and I made sure she got one many hours ago via PM.

However, since I publicly called her out, I'll also publicly apologize. It was not so much my intent to criticize Cat as it was the system, but Cat got caught up in it as it was unavoidable. For any upsetment that I caused her, I am truly sorry. I can see how it seemed like a good idea and probably still does to a lot of people. If the majority want the system, then by all means, I will say no more about it. But, I don't agree with it.

Of course there were better ways to explain my anger, but I made a mistake today and wasn't logical. It happens. And all I can do now is apologize to who I've wronged and that is cateyes.

Wow dude, harsh much? That was so much meaner than anything Deb says.

cateyes and @debthelibrarian are both pretty incredible people. You obviously don't know Deb very well, and she was just defending Cat who puts a lot of time and energy into running a check in that several people were shitting all over and personally attacking her. 

[snakefisherbub]

Yeah this was not necessary. And only one person was asked to be a little bit more c considerate given her circumstances while posting in there not that no one could so give me a fucking break. Also joy said she would apologize to cat. This was not cool really. This whole thing was blown way up.
