[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Listen Up Newbie Brides - This one is for you : Okay, So you live in NC?  Have you always lived in NC?  What are your favorite hobbies (aside from reading and making stuff in the crock-pot)?  How old are your puppies?  What is your favorite pizza topping?

Yay, me time.  Every bride's favorite thing.  Lol.  Born and raised in NC.  Born in Greensboro, moved to Holly Springs, then Wake Forest, then Chapel Hill and now in Raleigh.  Went to UNC which is where I met my FI - in the marching band.  Yes, we're band dorks!  Now I work at a law firm helping disabled civilians and veterans get benefits from the government.  FI works for a non-profit that helps attorneys. 

My favorite hobby IS reading.  FI makes fun of me for always being on my kindle.  Although I do also love to organize and make spreadsheets.  Always makes me feel better to have a list.  I also LOVE Mexican food.  1 week without chips and queso is one week too many.  My favorite pizza topping is MUSHROOMS.  Weird, I know.

Lucy and Ricky are both rescue beagles so it's hard to know their exact age.  We think Lucy is about 7 and Ricky is about 3.  We love them to death!  Well, there's my life in a nutshell.  I look forward to getting to know the rest of you so-called "bitchy" brides better too =)

[QUOTE]Cindy, please stop telling people how to post.  This is an international message board.  On the internet.  People can post any way they feel like, whether it meets your criteria for "rude" or not. If you don't like the atmosphere on E, you are welcome to go somewhere else.

Seriously? Are you blind or something? You should read the OP because it is CLEARLY telling people how to post.

[QUOTE]The eloping comment WAS NOT ADVICE. <strong>Can you please get it through your heads?</strong> Also, I NEVER brought up money. Yes, I listed what was at our cocktail hour, but when did I ever say how much it cost? All of you ASSSUMED that it was expensive, and accused me of flaunting how much money I have. For all any of you know, my cocktail hour could've cost $100, you have absolutely NO IDEA. So before you go putting words into people's mouths, you should get your facts straight. As many of you say "you only know what we tell you" and I NEVER TOLD YOU that my cocktail hour was expensive.

As soon as you get it through your head that talking about how <em>much</em> you can afford in that kind of thread (or most places) is rude, I'll think about it. It doesn't really matter if it wasn't advice. You put it in there and it could have made the OP or anyone else in a similar situation feel small and horrible. It doesn't really matter that the actual cost wasn't brought up. It was implied.

I was also not telling people what to do, I was expressing my opinion about the disgusting rudeness that is on this board, that the entire Knot is aware of. The only people who don't agree are the people who post here.

Is this really a 6 page thread about whether or not this board is rude?? Who dedicates that much time to pointing out rudeness in others?? And who cares that much? It's a freaking message board, it's not like it's meant to save lives.

baystateapple

Actually, Cindy, it's not.

[QUOTE]Okay, get a grip for a second here and think about it. Lack of validation =/= snarky and rude.  Holy hell in a handbasket people.  We don't validate bad ideas.  We are blunt and to the point.  We will tell you when you are being rude and when you are breaking etiquette.  This is the ETIQUETTE board.  Your situation is not different (except for the girl who's church burnt down the week of her wedding.  She gets a pass) than the millions of other girls here who think they are special.  If you don't want opinions and the correct etiquette responses, then why the hell are you posting questions on an etiquette board? We don't know you when you post.  All we know is what you tell us, so that's how we're responding and what we're resonding to.  If you want to give us more information, we will happily respond to that as well. We are here because we want you to not embarass yourself and to still have friends when your "special all about me day" is over and done with.  Yes, it's your wedding.  Ultimately you can do what you want, but internet strangers are here to tell you how to save face and how to do it the right way.  Maybe you should listen instead of freaking out and telling us that we're so rude because you didn't get the answer that you were hoping for.  Thanks. Carry on and good luck planning your wedding.

If you re-read Habs' post (right here for your edification), she's explaining (bluntly, I will give you) that we're not here on E to sugarcoat or make you feel good about your poor decisions.  She's not saying "don't post shitty questions!"  She's explaining that we're not going to validate bad ideas.

Also, I think it's pretty rich of you to call everyone rude and keep responding in an equally rude manner.

mica178

Can we do an I don't get it thread or FFF?  I don't get why people who seem to hate everything about the E posters stick around E.  Find a new home.

I don't get how within 5 minutes of getting home from the dentist, my head hurts more from Cindy than from tooth scaling.

adamar15

Birdie I'm dying at your new sig.  There's actually a tear in my eye.

Cindy, this is one crusade that you will not win.  It might be time to pick a different cause.

Ok, I'll say it, I think that not serving any food at a cocktail hour is extremely dumb and cheap.

No it is just b/c Cindy decided it was time to mosey on in here and biitch at us.

Fish is the etiquette guru

Birdie your sig should say oh you must live in Seattle. Since I think it is a requirement to have North Face if you live here. :P

Cindy just b/c you're different doesn't mean you're useful.

crfische

Poor Cindy. She just wants people to hear her. Know, she's gonna have to go drink a bottle of wine and roll around in Benjamin's tonight to make herself feel better.

You guys are jerks.

MyUserName1

Cindy is seriously still in here ignoring all of the holes people poke in her so-called arguements and throwing shade at everyone else?

It would be one thing if she didn't talk to everyone else here like a raging biitch and try to lecture everyone else on their rudeness, but this hypocritical nonsense is insane.

So does everyone here.  What's your point?

cindyn9178

I could care less about winning. I already knew that all of you (or maybe most of you here) are stubborn and full of yourselves and will continue on being rude to everyone until TK dies one day. You will continue pushing newbies away, you will continue on with your clique and will continue on with your reputation of rudeness and negativity.
I am not a regular on E, and for that matter, anybody that is a regular on an etiquette message board, or any message board for that matter should probably reevaluate their priorities in life.

And did you read my original response in this thread? I did not tell people how to post as you accused me. After the continued attitudes from OTHER PEOPLE HERE, I got an attitude with them. But yet, that makes me wrong and everybody else right.
Another lovely mod on TK, I love it.

I always find it ironic when people say that those who post on message boards should get lives
