Agreed- you will only get flamed for flaming a reg if you prove to be BSC

LetsHikeToday

Not long ago, in one of the lurker polls, a lurker said her least favorite poster was ldy for x, y, and z. She didn't get flamed at all.

A few people said in my poll thread yesterday that I annoyed the piss out of them.  No biggie.  Noone flammed them or gave them crap.  A lot of regs were listed in that poll.

I have a double flame.
TBH I found it kind of lame the other day when Blue said she'd drop out of a WP if the bride chose a dress she didn't like (specificaly camo IIRC).  I get that you probably doesn't have friends who would pick that, but it's crappy that you'd put looking good above being there for your friend.  I also was really annoyed that you kept making fun of the OP of the thread about the guy smoking pot/grinding at his Bparty.  I get that it's a different relationship dynamic than what you have with your H, but OP felt like her trust ahd been broken.  Who cares why she feels that way.  She wasn't mad that the guy smoked pot.  She was mad that he did something he said he wouldn't.

@Dot-okay

Blue-I normally agree most of the time with you, but in that AE/troll thread (let's pretend it was real), I feel like you were belittling someones life choices about how they communicate with their SO.  So what, that they had a talk about expectations.  Just because you don't find pot smoking a big deal, you were acting like it was some weird phenomenon that people that don't believe in doing drugs or wouldn't be hurt by the actions of the SO.  I'm not saying it was counseling worthy, but maybe they felt like it was.

Steph-same as Blue, I normally get down with what you are saying, but lately I think you sometimes argue just to argue. (I'll look back and see if I can find a specific example)

Those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

dmiller9274

All the fuuucking rules are killing me. 

Dot, you can post news articles as long as they are interesting and will start discussions. Use your psychic powers ahead of time to make sure that at least 68.73% of the posters are going to find your article interesting.

Anyone can flame a reg, but it has to be a legit flame? Well who the fuuuuck gets to be the person to determine if the flame is legit. Choose your flames wisely, you might piss off the person you flame and one of their friends, but if you have enough friends, they'll agree with you so it'll be ok. 

I stand by the fact that I think we just don't have a lot of shiiit to flame these days, but I also stand by the fact that we're way bigger pussies now than we used to be about accepting flames and moving on. 

Blueyed228

Well Chels I wouldnt wear something I wasnt comfortable in and im not required to be in a wedding to prove my friendship.

And speaking of that weed thread, I thought it was hilarious that you thought that couple should go to therapy but in the other thread about a bach party you were all "OMG RED FLAG!  He shouldnt tell you what to do!!!!"

I didnt say drugs were ok, I said that having sit downs telling adults how to act wasnt what I believed.  If you disagree, ok.  No biggie.  I think its stupid to tell your H/FI/BF how to act.  I dont think a joint requires therapy.  Just because I think that doesnt mean you or the OP has to.  Its my opinion.  And it sparked a really good debate.

How is that even remotely connected?  OP of the AE thread made it sound like she never TOLD her FI not to do thhat.  He came out and said "I won't do that".  Then he went and did it anyway.  If he was walking out the door and she yelled "have fun! oh by the way no dancing with girls and no smoking!!!!!" and then he went and did it anyway, then I don't feel that bad for her. 
OP of the other thread was being held to a double standard.  He got all wild at his party but then told her she couldn't even go out with her friends?  That's crap.

One thread was someone ordering the other around.  The other was someone saying they wouldn't do something but did it anyway.  Big difference IMO

I agree and disagree with this.  I was over on E and posted this (not sure if this is the same incident you mean).  When I was asked why I gave an answer and since others from the board had said similar things in the past, I was accused of just copying what they said.  I think if a reg would have said it, people would have given him/her the automatic credit for having an opinion that others agree with.

no I am fairly certain the first moron was saying they had a discussion and set ground rules and in the second thread, the guy set ground rules for the girl. A tad different but still couples trying to dictate each other's actions.

I come across firm in my beliefs.  I listened to the other side, I just didnt agree. I defended it because there was a lot of "Well good for you" coming at me.  But like I said, no biggie.  Flame accepted girlfriend.

ETA: Mostly I get irritated with people because they are so damn uptight.

If you need to have a sit-down with your soon to be spouse on how to properly conduct oneself at a bachelor party, you probably aren't ready to be married.

And what's wrong with arguing just to argue. Better than complaining about the double standards between newb and reg treatment.

@ Steph, like in the getfucked thread...between you & Dot (and I guess this goes towards her too).  You both knew you would agree to disagree, yet kept it going.

No biggie, but I owed you an example and that was just the latest one.  I do agree though that by doing that, it does spark a debate, which is needed.
