    Here's some honest-to-goodness advice for you OP - Ignore posts from people you don't like. Just don't read them. That would solve your problem right away. See something by someone who's been around awhile? Just skip it. Solved! Brilliant.

    Also, if you guys hate the "Old Guard" so much why do you still ask "newbs" if they love mac n cheese/regular cheese/pandas? Or approve of them when they do like those things? Weird as fuckking hell.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Calling Old Guard... : Overzealous newish reg snark is the suck. I don't know if it's b/c it's gratuitous (IMO) or b/c they're just not as good at it as Mutley. But it's kinda chapping my asss right now.
    Posted by desertsun[/QUOTE]

    The snark ITSELF is what I was referring to. Some of it has either been too much for me, or not done with the kind of good humor it's often done with. I gave some examples in this thread:
    <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_not-engaged-yet_much-can-plan-prior-engagement?plckPostSort=TimeStampDescending">http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_not-engaged-yet_much-can-plan-prior-engagement?plckPostSort=TimeStampDescending</a>

    Again, not liking some threads or posts doesn't mean I don't like the board or even that I don't like specific posters.

    I've REPEATEDLY said that I still post on the board b/c I still enjoy it. <strong>I</strong> am not one who is continually bringing up cliques.

    I didn't intend to cause a shitstorm.

    And if the issue isn't with me, then don't generalize about the OG. Paige and I are both commonly thought of as part of that group, but I think we went with the flow and adapted well.  ETA: and I think we're generally liked well enough on the board.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Calling All New-ish Regs : Perhaps you could tell me a little bit about how much I suck if you actually took the time to get to know me, or anyone else who isn't 1) a part of the OG or 2) a Mutley asskisser.

    Maybe you (and the rest of the OG) should stop bitching about how things have changed.  FFS, if it's so bad, don't come around.  You all brag about how you're BFF IRL, so CALL each other or talk on Facebook chat!  Why post on here how awful NEY has gotten if the people reading it are precisely those you're bitching about?  It's enough already.  And know that I am FAR from the only person who feels this way...I just couldn't hold it in anymore.

    Who kisses my ass?  This is funny.  I am not around enough anymore for anyone to kiss my ass.

    There are people that I like to keep up with in these parts that I am NOT friends with IRL but thanks for telling me what I need to do.  I love seeing Zipis' bumbledog.  I actually do like some of the newer posters.  Shocking, I know.  In fact, MOST of them don't annoy the piss out of me.     

    Holding it in?  Please don't.  I don't care.  That's just it.  I don't care what you post.  It can annoy me, and I can say so when it does.  Most of the time I don't read what you post because it does annoy me.  I think that you create drama in your own life (aka all of your law school friend crap that went on and on and on.)

    I will continue to post what I want, when I want to post it.  You don't have to like it.  Nobody does.  It is truly that simple.

    Oh... my.... holy....freaking.... batman....

    Well, I think you mostly all had it covered.  I think it's always dumb to be mean to ANYONE for the simple sake of being mean.  I think it's often considered "popular" or "cool" around these parts to just be condescending or nasty to noobs, either because it's "funny" or to instill some sort of imposed discipline on the behavior of others on the board.  And I think both reasons are pretty pathetic.  I think anyone who is consistently mean, condescending or nasty to people who have done nothing to personally attack or offend them is simply a pathetic, sad, miserable individual.

    I think Desert and Paige are prime examples of being able to be friends with everyone, without bringing the drama or the cliqueness to the whole environment.  I do agree if you mostly come on the board to complain about how it isn't the way it used to be, perhaps you should find some other place to communicate with the girls you DO want to talk to.

    I'm with Loopy - a lot of this junk just makes me sick.  There are people on here who I think are genuinely cool, interesting people, but a growing number of people who I find to be mean spirited, and that's just not an enriching place to spend my time.  We're grown women and should be able to not act like bullies in the sandbox.

    For the love of Pete. ::headdesk::

    I didn't start the thread to make fun of anyone, or to point anyone out, or to exclude anyone. I haven't been on in a while and wanted to catch up with some of the ladies who used to post here rather frequently, who post less frequently now, that I'm not friends with outside TK. Simple. As. That.  

    If people took the phrase "your latest snarky observation" to mean "beat on the "new" kids", that's their perogative. That was not the intention. Personally, my latest snarky observation is that I'd rather hand a million bucks to a homeless former drug addict that's thankful for what he's got than give it to an overtanned drunk who's only claim to fame is living on a strip of beach in New Jersey.

    If someone does not like what I, or anyone else, has to say, that is their perogative. You can either comment back, or you can ignore it. I don't think anything anyone has said on this board has warranted being called a c*nt or a b*tch. 
     
    People have every right to say they do or do not like the dynamic of this board. I don't jump down people's throats for raving how much they love the board's current dynamic, so don't jump down mine because I say I miss the old posters. I don't miss the snark, I don't miss the post-and-runs, or the trolls...I miss people who used to post on this board who have since moved on for whatever reason, or post here less frequently. Don't like it? Then ignore it.

    This whole thing got absolutely out of control for no reason. It seriously started out as "let's all catch up!" and people turned into something it wasn't supposed to be. We're supposed to be grown women, for Pete's sake. You don't have to like everyone, you don't have to agree with everything, but no one should be berated or verbally abused over something this ridiculous. No one.

    Everyone please...chill out, move on, and post some damn puppies and rainbows.

    <div>Well, Oceana, I will say that I really respect what you just said.  I understand that the intention of your post was not to bash new regs and I'm sorry if you think I blamed you; I didn't.  I got more upset when new regs started to get commented about...if that's how you feel, fine, but it's kind of rude to passive aggressively post about them where they can read it & not specify anyone in particular (so that if someone says they're butthurt about it, you can always say, "We weren't talking about you, Susie.")</div><div>

    You want to know something really sad? For as mean/disrespectful/snarky/whatever as some people think the "old" board or the "old guard" were...I've NEVER seen posts as nasty, immature or disrespectful as the ones I've seen tonight.

    I have, unfortunately.  But they were never between regular posters.  it was always between the SB regime that was here before most of the OG and a BSC poster, or from a troll or to a troll.  NEVER between posters that "knew" each other.  Tonight makes me sad as well.
