rude people on this site

lstruggles · March 2012

I just had to block someone who has been annoying me for WEEKS with her rude condescening advice on every single post out there....I'd imagine I'm not the first person to block her.

Anyone else have issues like this?

Oh, well nevermind then. OP is totally justified.

I definitely think OP blocked CMGr.

I think anyone who announces they blocked someone sounds kind of desperate for some reason... idk what they're desperate for, but it sounds desperate.

Sorta? More like grasping at straws to look like they are above other people.

<div>If you look at the bottom of a post by any given poster you will see in the left-hand corner- Report Block. Click block and (I assume, haven't actually done it though because I know how to skim...) it will block that person for you so you don't have to see anything from them any more.</div>

Tahlora · March 2012

Wow! I am blind, I had no idea you could block people, apparently I have to pay more attention to the little words everywhere

And do you get to know if you have been blocked? Like do you get a little message or do you just never see the other persons posts?

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: rude people on this site : Dude, a quick look at your posting history reveals that you've gotten exactly the responses you deserve. You bugged the snot out of your man to get engaged, and you're trying to dictate the style of wedding ring he gets. And those are just 2 of your gems - I haven't read through all of your posts. People have been very blunt with you, but they haven't been rude.
Posted by DiLynn83[/QUOTE] 
 the first post, i was asking for help, admitting i was being unreasonable. 
 In the 2nd, it doesn't make me a horrible human being for having different taste than he does. Not to mention that we both believe that the bands are meant to match/compliment each other and thus I do have a at least little bit invested in the choice. 
 But some of the responses 1. weren't to me (and incredibly rude) and 2. we are grown ups and could at least attempt to be civil to each other. 
 Ultimately it doesn't matter, but yeah, to answer the original OP, I've noticed a similar trend IN GENERAL.

brookerich · March 2012

Can't say I've had this problem. I mean I ask pretty direct questions or for advice or whatever. If I don't want answers I just dont' post. Yes, some people are blunt but at least you know they're honest about it. Doesn't necessarily make them "rude" though

lstruggles · March 2012

You got it.....but its not just to me....I've seen other brides take offence at her "advice" and then say rude things back to her.

I posted about what the guys should wear at the wedding seeing as it will be hot and they don't want to wear jackets...I was looking for creative ideas - which i got from other brides to be/brides and CMGr said "you are getting married in 90+ degree weather? What about your guests comfort?" Am I supposed to dress my guests too? If its hot they will dress accordingly.....plus the tent is going to have fans andtubes circulating air and we are having umbrella's at the ceremony....but that isn't what I asked.

lstruggles · March 2012

HAHA thank you!

lstruggles · March 2012

If it annoys you so much then don't reply to my post.....easy fix.

lstruggles · March 2012

It's so nice to see we have a psychologist on the boards who can pinpoint everything so well. Thanks! NOT

Posted by lstruggles[/QUOTE]<div>I'm actually starting to have this problem myself... I talk to people on here for help and advice and sometimes all you get are ridiculously rude jerks who just want to bash you. Like wedding planning isnt stressful enough and then these A holes try to make you feel worse or stupid. I don't get it. But I'm starting to think they have nothing better to do.
