Frustrations!!!

EsmeGrumble

Why do people feel the need to create posts wherever they feel like, no matter if they are on subject or not? Take, for example, the etiquette board. It is chock full of posts that have absolutely nothing to do with etiquette at all; like whether or not this crcok pot is good. Or asking what everyone is currently doing. There are different boards for a reason. USE them.

You don't have to read them. It's not a big deal.

And I think that it's decently "on-topic" most of the time.

If people only ever posted about weddings, this entire forum would be dead as no one would stay and no could/would answer your questions.

And this post is different from those posts because . . . . . why?

You don't get to dictate who posts what and having a poll wont do anything. If you dont want to read something, don't click on it. It's pretty easy. So Esme<strong>Grumble</strong>. . go grumble elsewhere because this post was pointless.

Edit: PS. I want to answer your poll, but my answer wasnt up there. My answer is D. This is stupid.

Thanks

It's pretty easy to skip the NWR posts. I don't see watch the big deal is.

Certain boards have estabilished communities and have made friends with each other. Many of them are married and like to talk about NWR stuff. If you don't like it, then don't open those threads. Simple as that.

redheadfsu

OP is now commenting on NWR posts...so I'm confused.

midgetthemighty

This really made you that upset?

EsmeGrumble

First of all, I posted this in Chit-Chat...not Honeymoons or Ceremony Ideas, so how is this not on-topic?
Second, I know I don't have to click on them, but it is a pain when 5 posts in a row are NWR. It takes away from the more important wedding posts, which is what this site is about. Hence the name "TheKnot."
Third, if the people on this board have formed little communities, etc, why can't they talk about NWR stuff on the Life Boards...which is why those boards were created, I'm sure.

Because the boards they post on are where they "met" and they don't want to go anywhere else. Why should they have to? Why does this affect your life so much that it makes you frustrated enough to make a whole post about it and police people about it?

Excuse me, shouldn't you have posted this on the "Frustrations!!!" board then?

EsmeGrumble

I'm sorry for being such a bitch about this. I just didn't see what was so hard about it, but you all have made some very valid points. I'm new here, and I don't understand the ties everyone has to each other. And in my replies on the crockpot thread, I was just being funny, or at least attempting to be...I guess it didn't come across that way. I really am sorry.

Also, I think I might be PMSing...especially since all of these comments made me cry.

Remember the internet is not so serious. You are not being a bitch, we just disagree and like the boards how they are.

But please laugh at this, don't cry.

I'm sorry, but PMSing is not a valid excuse. Try again. . .

Someone else used this excuse after blessing me out over nothing. What's the deal with blaming something that happens to you monthly?

I suggest you lurk a bit more since obviously you aren't 'getting it'. . .

Well EXCUSE me for not being able to keep my horomones in check. How silly of me to think I wasn't able to control a chemical reaction in my body. And what is it exactly that I'm not getting? I came to these boards for help with my wedding. I got a little frustrated and vented. Almost immediately 10 different posters proceeded to rip me a new one. I tried to apologize, but I've apparently been branded a cry-baby who makes excuses. I tried to be a bigger person and take back what I said. So maybe it's you who's not "getting it."

Most posters don't like the PMS excuse as it is sexist. Saying that women are crazy/babies during that time is very sexist. Which is why pps are still on your case.

<div>So is this a mood swing?</div><div>

GoodLuckBear14

So glad OP is here to lecture us on how to properly use TK boards.

OP - the PMS excuse rarely works here simply because almost everyone here gets PMS.  If it is causing you to be irrational and exremely sensitive, then it's time to see a doctor.  If you're using it as an excuse...well, that's just sad.
