    Obviously I didn't get my point across the first 5 times. I tried a new approach.

    Retread, she clarified what she was asking about in some future posts and what you've been focusing on is not what she was asking.  I think that's why she's so frustrated.

    [QUOTE]leeen, these are open boards, and anyone can post. (Please re-read The Knot's rules for clarification).  You will get responses you don't like, advice you "didn't ask for", and so forth. This is allowed provided everyone is polite. The kind of reply you posted doesn't reflect well on anyone, and isn't going to get you much help or sympathy here.

    I'm not sure why you're throwing the rules at me....neither of us violated them nor have I ever accused you of doing so. I was simply further stressing my point with punctuation....I wasn't aware it was impolite.

    [QUOTE]bablingbrooke, you know that "she didn't ask you that...." is appropriate for talking to kids, not other adults on a message board.

    You know that I don't stick up for beebees, Retread.  You know that.  She's not one.  I genuinely think you misunderstood her post yet you keep harping on what you think she asked.  I don't think that's appropriate.  It's no better than what you're complaining about.

    Thanks Stage.  I thought that's what I said (it's definitely what I was trying to say!) but it's always hard to be objective about your own posts.

    Leeen, in all fairness, you were really quite confusing here. Please proofread your OPs and be sure you give us all the necessary information. If people ask for more information, just give it to them without the attitude and in a clear concise manner. Otherwise people are just going to get frustrated and misunderstand everything you're saying. As the person seeking out advice, it is YOUR responsibility to make yourself clear. Not ours. You don't have to take anyone's advice or say so, but you will get it if you ask for it.

    I think I finally understand what you were trying to say but I have to tell you that the unnecessary information combined with only telling us half the necessary stuff was really aggravating to try and get through.

    But to be fair, she did clarify in later posts.  Yes, you had to piece all of it together, but if you read all her follow-ups, it made sense.

    I really don't mean to belabor the point, I just don't think it's right to alienate a new poster because she didn't do it *exactly* right.  It's not like she posted a bad idea and is defending it and insulting everyone for good measure; she asked a question, we misunderstood, she posted a few clarifications, eventually we got it.  To keep 1) harping on what we originally thought she said, and 2) scolding her for not being clear from the get-go is just not fair and lends creedence to the perception that we're all just a bunch of meanies on here.

    We all could use a refresher once in awhile (myself included).  My friends and I always say the truest friends are the ones who will call you out when you need it.  And, again, it wasn't telling you how talk--I was just trying to clear up what seemed like a misunderstanding between you two.

    [QUOTE]I know uneven sides will not kill me. Thanks for pointing that out. And I know it isn't a big deal. It's just my choice to have even sides...and I'd like it to stay that way. I'm perfectly content with only having two friends as BMs because I really only have 2 CLOSE friends. I'm just facing the dilemma of which to be the MOH....which,  thanks to your answers I'm going to do away with completely. As for my cousins...I do consider them as regular bridesmaids. I was just clarifying on here that they are technically "Jr" because of their age. And yes....there will be 4 on each side because I won't be making anyone else a BM. It works out perfectly. So everyone can stop commenting on my OCD and the even sides situation. That isn't the problem. The real problem is the cousin/other kids situation.

    I was my sisters MOH at 13ish, I wouldn't even mess with the JR thing. Just have 4 bridesmaids :)
