    My number one pet peeve would be the people on some of these boards who post and act like they "run" them. Either as an individual or a "clique"
    .--- (It is an international forum and anyone can post anything they want, whenever they want, however they want to; and should be able to do so without the fear of being ganged up on by the people that think they are apparently in the movie Mean Girls).

    -Being rude to "newbies" - everyone was a "newbie" at some point.

    -People that make judgements on others by a few posts on a message board out in cyber-space.

    -Close-minded people who act like they are perfect and have nothing better to do than pop in and leave 1 or 2 obnoxious comments and leave. (if you see someone's name you don't like then skip it)

    -Those who purposely attempt to get a person to GBCK; does is really matter that much? If you do that on these boards, you must be a treat in real life. (read: being a bitch just to be a bitch for no reason)

    -Anyone who preaches about not wanting to hear drama on these boards but loves to stir the pot whenever they have the opportunity.

    -Oh and anyone who is petty and childish enough to put someone's name out there as their pet-peeve. <-------- i.e. pot-stirring

    I don't consider someone mentioning a name petty and childish - I call it honesty and I can respect that more than hiding behind generalizations. If anyone is so naive to believe everyone just should get along like one big family , you are kidding yourself. But that's just me.

    If everything about the board pisses you off, why do you stay?

    BTW: yes I was a newbie once but I didn't burst on the board screaming "LOOK AT ME." I lurked. I posted on some other threads. I got a feel for the board. THEN I really started posting.

    Exactly this.  A lot of us got flamed when we got here.  But you know what else? We didn't take that as an invitation to jump in and act like we rule the place.  The regs have developed relationships.  You're allowed to talk to us, we aren't like Mean Girls.  But we aren't going to be all buddy buddy with you yet.  We don't know you.  That's just how it goes.

    You wouldn't walk up to a bunch of people having lunch at a resturaunt and sit next to them, and expect them to accept you.  I mean, why not though, it's a public place, right?  That's just not how things are done, regardless on if its a public place, private, or an international forum.  You have to work your way in.

    PS. Think we're clique-y?  You don't know the half of it.

    You definitely don't know the half of it.

    Um, sidenote - should I profess my undying love for Paige, Nar, desert, and KD now or later?

    Yes, there is definitely an element of cliquishness on this board (and yes, I just slaughtered that word). That's what happens when you have a group of girls who post regularly for months upon months, get to know one another, see each other through all the ups (engagements, marriages, baby-making, etc.) and downs (breakups, job loses, health crises, family drama) of everyday life. They get close, and they band together. It's more like a lion pride than a clique. And when you mess with one of the mama lions, someone's bound to get their ass handed to them.

    Rar.

    I'm not going to immediately like everyone that strolls on in here. There are girls on this board that I consider honest-to-god friends, that I would do just about anything for (you know who y'all are, and I <3 you girls), but that is a result of months of conversation, sharing, etc. You don't just get handed loyalty and respect - you earn it.

    As for running people off a board...I'll be completely honest with all of you. I don't deliberately try running people off boards just because I have nothing better to do.  I try to be nice (or, if I have to dish out the blunt advice from the get-go, at least polite) to any newb that comes in here. For me to actually take the time and effort to put someone in their place and actually try to push them out of here, it's usually the result of days, if not weeks or months, of pure and unabashed annoyance on that person's part. And usually, it's not solely my annoyance we're talking about here.

    Yeah, I was a newb once too. I lurked for a while, I introduced myself and I got comfortable with the flow of the board before I started really making my presence felt. I eased my way in, out of respect for the girls who got here before me (which, btw, include Jeana, Acro, Noelle, NQB...). I actually got a really good reception as a result...that's also how I developed my unabashed love of Salt, but that's a whole nother story...

    As for thinking I'm in Mean Girls - I'm not a redhead and I don't have that kind of tolerance for vodka. Rum, definitely. Vodka, not so much. But nice try.

    Desert- the pot was clearly stirred by hetsup and not me. I stayed out of this whole thing until my name entered it.

    KD - I have lurked and been on this board for a LONG time (TK in general and TN) and longer than most of you. I had another name and when I decided to get back into discussion I changed it because it no longer fit its purpose. I knew exactly how it could be on these things and I've said that since day one. Doesn't mean I have to sit back and take it, does it?

    Tafft- No I am not naive and I do not expect one big happy family and since is it so respectful to name names then, as you can see I'm doing just that.

    Hetsup- You can think that I am a drama llama all day long and you can keep saying it over and over. That's your OPINION and it doesn't make it true. I am an extremely up-front and honest person and I have no problem being blunt when the time comes that I need to be. But do I spend my day drumming up drama and "taking" from everyone around me? No. In fact, this is the ONLY place I vent anything -  IRL I'm one of the most giving and caring people you'd ever meet and that's my OPINION.

    Button - Hazing is ridiculous and the biggest reason why I left these boards for about a year. This isn't some sorority and no one is getting initiated. You want to reply to my posts - go ahead and I will continue to ignore anything that is not constructive to what I'm asking.  (that does NOT mean I don't want to hear what anyone has to say but you damn well better believe I will defend myself in a heartbeat when all of you gang up on me and you're wrong)

    Narwhal - I understand completely what you're saying. It makes sense in some ways but in others not so much, to me at least. I appreciate the fact that you give solid and concise replies to things - even if they aren't what I want to hear and I get no "validation" I still listen and understand what you're saying.

    Not everyone is going to like everyone else, so is life, and there are quite a few people I don't like in my own life and on this board. However, I will not tear people down and I will not sit in a corner and cower whenever one or 6 of you want to come and say some off-the wall comment to a post you don't HAVE to read. This isn't some popularity contest and I don't have the time in my own life to sit down and go back and forth with people who I don't know. There are several people on here that PM me or write on here and we talk frequently, that's nice to have.

    You all "respect" people who are who they are and are able to voice their opinions without backtracking then you got it. I know I can extremely annoying at times and I know that there's plenty of people who can't stand me. But yet  somehow my day keeps turning and it doesn't turn me into a bitch everytime one of those people says something I don't like.

    I will continue to post whatever I want to, whenever I want to and this little group of people can comment all they want or just never respond. That's on you all to decide. I like this board because I like a good number of people on here that might not talk much but they are still here. Be annoyed with me, be whatever you deem necessary to be to me; it doesn't do anything besides make me even more aware of how not to act.

    I'm responding to nothing that any of the following people have to say past this point: hetsup, buttons, KD, mutley, desert, tafft, or oceana because you ALL get on my nerves and annoy the hell out of me.

    Sayonara.

    I'm not really sure if that will help.  Like others said, it takes time to fit in.  Just be patient.  Very rarely do you become friends with someone right away.  It takes time.  I would encourage anyone to stay on the boards and give it a chance.  There are many times when the posters here are supportive and caring.

    Goldie,

    Thank you for replying - I'm not leaving the boards at all. I know some of the posters here have wonderful advice and they've actually helped me a few times. The people I mentioned above have nothing constructive to say to me. I don't a have burning desire to fit in because those are not the type of people I'd want to "fit in with". I've made friiends on this board and that's great... I'm not trying to be friends with anyone in particular here. I'm just here to ask for advice when needed and give advice, if I feel I can do so, when it's needed. :)

    I will fully admitt that I have had nothing constructive to say to you because typically I get to the conversations late (work gets in the way of my knotting) andplusalso you annoy me.

    HOWEVER, the other girls have given you constructive advice. Blocking out 7 posters is kind of ridiculous. Are you going to block out others when they agree with us?

    I stick to my original question. Why stick around if the board pisses you off?

    NTOD - It would be silly to say that there isn't a clique on this board because there most definitely is. Most of the regs, myself included, have been posting here for months upon months and during that time we have been able to get to really know one another and form honest-to-god friendships. I've made friends on this board that I would do anything I can for.

    If you actually read the newb posts we aren't mean or rude to them just because we can be or don't have anything better to do - we may give blunt and honest advice based on their situation but I wouldn't consider that mean or rude.
    Honest =/ Rude. A lot of people dont want to hear that and then call us all uppity bitches or that were bad in bed or they feel sorry for our BF/FI/DH.

    We can only form an opinion based on what you give us - if every thing you post screams drama then that's the opinion people form of you. And lets be honest here everyone judges someone based on their first impression - that can be good or bad but it's still a judgement and if you say you don't do it that a lie.

    And I don't think I'm perfect - I know I have flaws in my personality that not everyone likes. That's just who I am and I can accept that. But I'm not going to sit here and just let people get bad advice or think that their horrible idea is actually okay. I don't sit around on my computer all day and think of ways to bash or insult internet strangers - I have more interesting things to do with my day.

    I don't think anyone here tries to get someone to GBCK but we will ask why if they don't like the responses they get here or don't like this boards dynamic why would they stay? It doesn't make sense - if I don't fit into a certain group or situation I remove myself from it. It's not worth my time to try to fit in - I'd rather go find a group that I DO fit into.

    You can ignore responses that you don't want to hear and ignore posters all you want but you'll miss out on some good sound advice. But I don't think you're here to get great advice anyway - you just need a forum to vent everything and be a drama llama. That's the opinion I've formed of you based on what you've posted.

    I, for one, am <em>devastated. </em>::sob::

    Considering I gave you pretty well-thought and decent feedback up until very recently when you decided to complain about losing your job for HIPAA violations, your argument of being a big fat meanie head is, well, a bit moot.

    ps. I think you managed to block out half the board. Your week on NEY might get a little boring.

    Aw, I'm late, as usual.  Sorry!

    My biggest pet peeve is answering the same questions over and over because people think their situations are always different than everyone else's.  Sometimes it is, and I'll gladly listen (read?) to circumstances that may change my answer, but sometimes (a lot of the time) a little lurking will answer your question.

    Then again, I've been here a long, long time, so I've answered the same questions a lot.  This is probably why I don't post as much anymore...I just get bored easily with the SSDD of NEY. 

    For the record, not all new people are bad.  There are a few that I actually really, genuinely think are nice people and like.  There will always be those that annoy me (and others).  So it goes, that's life, and that's what the block feature is for.  I've used it before; it works great!  And now that poster has GBCK'd (probably because everyone blocked her and didn't respond to her posts anymore), so life is peachy.  TK provides you with an arsenal of ways to deal with people on the boards that irritate you; take advantage of them. Laughing

    I'm not sure why anyone would continue to post on a board where they can't stand the majority of the regs. Isn't the point to meet people you mesh with, not continue posting to make a point?

    Amen. It's pretty obvious a lot of people stick around here because they jive with each other not because they meet the board criteria (being NEY).
