What happened to the "am i wrong" thread?

AprilH81

TOS violation or account deactivation?

slothiegal

I didn't do anything with it....guessing GBCKed?

misshart00

I'm guessing she asked to have account deleted. I don't even remember who OP was to look it up.

lyndausvi

I didn't see any reports on the thread.  I guess they asked to have their account deleted.

Raise your hand if you didn't see that one coming! Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I really hate how easy it is to just delete your account. It's how SSs get around the whole "threads don't get deleted" thing.

I disagree. I feel posters should have 'ownership' of their online selves and be able to delete at their convenience. It's very annoying how hard it is to get rid of accounts on other sites (cough cough Facebook). Perhaps they should keep the threads with [account deleted] as the poster name or something. 

Edit: To clarify, I mean delete accounts, not threads, on a whim....

What was that thread about?

She invited her brother + wife and their 3 y/o son was the ring bearer, but then she didn't invite their 7 month old baby. Her brother talked to her about it and she was like "I think baby is too young to be out at a wedding all night" (basically telling her brother she knows better than he does + splitting families). ETA: Oh... and she said she thought they'd be passing the baby off to other guests, making them uncomfortable, and that the baby would cry.

And the general advice given to her was, invite the baby and apologize to your brother for being rude to him. Another one bites the dust. 

I didn't think anyone was being mean to her... it was pretty low-key. Jeez.

I think people should have control of their online accounts, 100%

I also think that if you GBCK, then you have to wait a month before you can create a new account again. They should enforce it by IP address, not email address, to ensure people don't just set up dummy accounts. It would, perhaps, cut down on histrionics (although I don't know how many people ever bother coming back under a new name).

I didn't see anything bad in that thread at all...too bad she deleted the account.

huskypuppy14

Oh ok. I thought there was another am I wrong thread a week or so ago, which I didn't think anyone thought she was wrong.

Clearly not this one!

huskypuppy14

Also, I know people that have invited the flower girl/ring bearer to the wedding and reception, but not the child's younger siblings. Though this was when the flower girl/ring bearer was a friend's child, not the bride or groom's niece or nephew.

Not saying it's right, but it's not uncommon.

That thread seemed pretty tame though.

So obviously I just GBCK out of fear, and then was back the next day. I'm having fun being back, but I would definitely understand if such a waiting period existed.

That or a public flogging. OR a badge that keeps track of how many times you've GBCKed. 

I think you should have ownership and own what you post. I don't understand why you would GBCK and want to come back. You wanted out, stand by that decision -- or have all your old content reinstated along with your account - JMHO.

K stupid question. I keep seeing "GBCK" and can't figure out what it stands for. Even tried to google it just now, and google says it means "Green Building Council Korea." Which doesn't seem to apply to TK lol. So what does that mean? 

southernbelle0915

@novella1186 - LOL!!!! it means "Good Bye Cruel Knot"

Racheldh83

I honestly do not understand how anyone can think the OPs (of the original thread) question is NOT wrong.

Or instead of GBCKing, why not just log out and then never log back in?  Why the need to have your account deleted?  We all know that once you put something on the internet there is no taking it back or having it completely deleted.  It will always be there.

This thread title immediately pops some Nico & Vinz into my head, so thanks for that, guys.

I  have recently seen a few posters delete their accounts and come back.  In one case only a few days later.  

I do not understand the thought process.   AT ALL.

The thirst for attention is so real. That's all that's happening there.

Yep, they come back for attention. So what would happen if we all ignored those GBCKs who come back to created drama? Saves us the frustration of interacting with people who aren't going to listen and it frustrates the attention seekers who are being ignored.
