It's annoying and unnecessary. To add to that, I flame N&M for posting here, stirring the pot... and then going to other boards to bad mouth us.  Seriously???

    LOL!  You can flame me for that, that's fair.  I still stand behind my comment, though some of you are seriously misrepresenting what I said.

    First of all, I NEVER NEVER used the words "married hag" or suggested that there was anything wrong with being a married lady on the boards.  I actually said:

    "I understand if you make friends and form a community on these boards in the process of wedding planning, <strong>and I'm glad to have a lot of married women on there b/c they often have great advice and insight. </strong> But f<strong>or the married women who hang around there just to complain, act entitled, and make fun of people, </strong>I just feel kind of sad for them that their lives are this empty that they have to continue to hang around wedding boards after they're married <strong>just to talk s**t about people</strong>."

    If that's not you then that wasn't directed at you at all, chill out!  And be honest, lots of you have probably said way worse things about me "behind my back."  Ha.  OMG!  I'm seriously laughing about this, and all the build up so you could *reveal* something I said openly and never tried to hide.  Well, while you were scouring my posts for evidence against me, I'm sure you also noticed that I do post productive things on the boards as well.

    Miss Angel,
    N&M is short for Nick&Merritt, or whoever that girl is who only comes here when she wants to start something.  I will say this:  I kind of like her little picture.

    I don't know if "drama" is necessarily an accurate characterization.  But basically, Julie posted something about a poor person that I found really offensive and so I expressed my opinion in probably not the most productive manner!  But there it is!  I don't have a lot of patience for people who make snap judgments about poor people, because it's incredibly damaging.

    Also, who has complained, acted entitled, or made fun of people?  I don't recall that happening...and if it does then it is certainly not often.

    This is not Stepford...we are not going to be the most sugar-sweet folks all day every day--mostly because we live in the real world. With that being said, this board is the most friendly and cohesive of all the other boards I've been on. If you want snarky, check out the Etiquette board--they even have a flow chart that will categorize you as a newb or a vet. This isn't high school, if you have something to say, say it to us and don't feel like you can just come on back over and be all 'hi friends, how ya been!' without somebody calling you out.
    The comments really don't even hold any water--she specified the DJ question. The REASON people respond the way they do to commonly asked questions is that there is a 'Read this First' post for a reason. Look around for other posts with the same question. Don't jump right in. Chill out.

    That's true it's probably close to the same thing.  But I do honestly doubt that Julie is just some kind of classist jerk, so in all honesty that's really not what I'm saying.  I don't see any way though to argue that that's not a classist assumption.  If someone was waiting in line at Starbuck's and they left, wouldn't most of us assume that they were in a hurry or that they were impatient?  You probably wouldn't automatically assume that they were "lazy"--that actually doesn't make any logical sense.

    Let me point this out... using your own words... (just to add on)

    <em>"They also spend a lot of time complaining about people who post WR questions on the board b/c they've answered those quesitons before.  Or they complain about or make fun of the posters for getting stressed about wedding planning or caring about "details that don't matter" etc.  But it's like, it's a local board, people are going to come on and post questions about DJs and ask for advice about their wedding details, that's the WHOLE PURPOSE of the board!"

    </em>Well... when you come onto this board, post on controversial issues ONLY, rarely say anything WR... doesn't that make you a little... hypocritical?

    Okay, so I'll spill about my home life from when I was in HS. 

    A month before my senior year, my family lost our house.  We couldn't afford it any more and we had to move.  I nearly had to switch schools but, since I was still living in district, I was able to stay for my senior year.  There were weeks for over a year where we (a family of four) had $10 a week to live on for the most part.  I look back now and realize how close I was to losing my family unit and being homeless.  But we always worked hard and we all eventually made it out of that situation.  If my parents had ever gotten to the point where we needed a hand out from the school or another social service, I'm pretty sure they would have waited the three extra minutes for a crisis counselor to come talk to them and show them what is available.

    My only flame today is for the Social Security Office.  I went and changed my name 3 weeks ago on my SS card, DL, checking accounts, etc.  I have everything show FirstName MaidenName NewLastName.  The SS card I got in the mail shows FirstName OldMiddleName NewLastName so it doesn't match DL or anything.  I called and I have to go back to the SS office and get it changed even though I filled out the form correctly and the lady asked me 3 times how I wanted my name to appear.  So annoying that they mess up but yet I have to take another half a day from work to go get this corrected so I can get my paychecks in the right name now.

    Posted by NathanandJordan[/QUOTE]

    Whoa!  Not at all.  I'm talking about people who post on both WR and NWR threads, who seem to be just looking for things to complain about.  Sure, some people think I do that on this board since I mostly comment on the political stuff.  But for real--I'm not going out of my way to create drama or find things to be offended by.  The offensive things are there!  I have a hard time not responding when people say things that I find offensive or when people make misleading claims that are potentially really damaging.  I could probably respond to those things in a more productive manner, but a lot of you have already made up my mind about me to the point where it doesn't even matter what I say because you read whatever you want to into my posts and don't seem to have any interest in having a productive conversation about your problems with me (esp. when I've tried to take them up in private rather than creating more drama on the board!)

    Anyway, I don't post on a lot of the WR threads since I'm not in the city, I don't have much to add.  And I'll be honest, I don't post anything about my venues, because I'm afraid of you ladies!  There are a lot of people who don't like me here, and some of you seem like you might be kind of vindictive!

    Sorry for all the multiple posts, I'm just trying to respond to everything everyone is saying about me!  If this is seriously a "drama-free" board though I find it really amusing that my month board post would be brought up in this way.  Not that I'm upset, I really don't care--I just want to point out, Brianna, that not addressing that with me personally, creating anticipation about it, and then posting it here is pretty much the definition of drama, so at least be honest about it!

    edited December 2011
    I am so lost as we have a brief due Monday and I haven't read much of anything.  I stay on here because I like weddings.  Period.  Trust me, I have a life.  Although there are some girls on E that I realllly wonder about.

    ITA everyone should get an album from their photographer.  The point I was making is it drives me crazy when people post contradictory information on something they have no experience with (i.e., airbrush makeup, DIY album) when someone else who clearly HAS had experience with it gives their advice.  Those were just two examples.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : Whoa!  Not at all.  I'm talking about people who post on both WR and NWR threads, who seem to be just looking for things to complain about.  Sure, some people think I do that on this board since I mostly comment on the political stuff.  But for real--I'm not going out of my way to create drama or find things to be offended by.  The offensive things are there!  I have a hard time not responding when people say things that I find offensive or when people make misleading claims that are potentially really damaging.  I could probably respond to those things in a more productive manner, but a lot of you have already made up my mind about me to the point where it doesn't even matter what I say because you read whatever you want to into my posts and don't seem to have any interest in having a productive conversation about your problems with me (esp. when I've tried to take them up in private rather than creating more drama on the board!) Anyway, I don't post on a lot of the WR threads since I'm not in the city, I don't have much to add.  And I'll be honest, I don't post anything about my venues, because I'm afraid of you ladies!  There are a lot of people who don't like me here, and some of you seem like you might be kind of vindictive! Sorry for all the multiple posts, I'm just trying to respond to everything everyone is saying about me!  If this is seriously a "drama-free" board though I find it really amusing that my month board post would be brought up in this way.  Not that I'm upset, I really don't care--I just want to point out, Brianna, that not addressing that with me personally, creating anticipation about it, and then posting it here is pretty much the definition of drama, so at least be honest about it!

    Vindictive? Drama?  Yep, you're clearly not a regular.

    Oh well... the interwebz don't hurt my feelings!  The girls that normally post on this know that I'm not drama... and I'm a-okay with that!

    PS - check out the definition of FFF, when you get a moment.

    It's called FFF for a reason.

    I'm still confused about who these people are? 

    ...and also.... why did you not address your concerns about whoever said "people" are with them before complaining on another board?

    I'm going to have to go with Julie on this one.  Pot? Meet Kettle.

    About the barefoot child....that's. so. gross.  My son couldn't wear shoes until he was over a year and a half because of tibial torsion but we always made sure he had thick socks on his feet if we were out where he might be walking around. (and he never walked around a restaurant, public bathroom floor, etc)  disgusting.
     
    My other flames for the day...

    1. Like Sparkling, we have people who don't clean up the break room either.  I am scared to think about what their home kitchen looks like.  Won't be eating any of their potluck today ; )

    2. I flame my FMIL for making FI feel bad that she missed our son's first school program last night.  You have your fancy schmancy iPhone remember, the one you're always bragging about?  The one with the calendar that I watched you type "Carters Program" into?  I know you use that calendar for everything, so don't take it out on him that you were too lazy to get out last night.

    3. Temps who cause office drama.  Most of our temps become permanent employees.  But you can't behave yourself for 90 days, why would we want to keep you around any longer?

    4. I flame myself for falling asleep on the couch and waking up to the smoke from my burning cookies.  Not going to win the baking contest today.  Boo.  And I wanted that free turkey!

    That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.  No one cares.  Really.
