    [QUOTE]This is a weird thread, but I'm glad it happened. I feel like people have obviously been thinking and talking about their feelings on this off the board and are getting a chance to express themselves. I don't know if there's something else that "no one wants to say," as Blue suggested, but I'd hope if there was it would be okay to just say it here. I agree with much of what has been said in this thread by Cew, and by Missy about the vibe being weird, and Blue about the feeling of a divide. I know I probably fall into the "elder reg" category as far as this incarnation of SB is concerned, and I would hope that I would never make someone feel like they didn't belong here. I know lately I've mentioned missing elements of the olden days, and I talk about it here because I know others miss it too, and part of me hopes we can recapture some of what made it awesome over here. It's no one's fault for anything, it just is what it is. Holy novel, but one more thing: Deciding to be an SBer is something that was very hard-won for many of us, and I think it can make changes in board dynamic and tone feel personal to those of us who went through it. I don't mean this in a "we had to walk uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow so that you could be here," but more like an "I remember this place before it was put together and it's near and dear to me" kind of way.

    My family has a house in Harwich (next to the A&W on Route 28 if you know it) that I spent every summer at from when I was born until I graduated college. I was at the Sea Camps in Brewster for 12 yaers or something like that, and I poured root beer at teh A & W for years too. I still go down there every weekend from May - October. I love it down there - we would totally move there if the jobs were better.

    I can totally understand that, Blue. Especially since I was one of those people flaming you long ago. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-embarassed.gif" border="0" alt="Embarassed" title="Embarassed" /> Though to be fair, it wasn't because you were new, it was because of the cash bar thing and the fact that you were super stubborn and would NOT back down! Don't ever change. :)

    Yeah, I think anyone who didn't get initiated into P&E didn't have it as hard as a newb. But, it's all relative to what you know, so I don't expect that to mean anything to someone who was not around for that.

  • I see it both ways.  While I can see how people would be upset that they aren't involved with an OB, I don't think it is something to be upset about either.  Especially if you're new.  IRL you wouldn't meet someone and invite them to your sleep over next weekend.  Relationships take time to build, at least they do for me.

    I am a pretty private person, and FB is separate for me from TK and contains information on a more personal level than I feel comfortable sharing here.  I don't think people should have to add people into their private lives just to make them feel better or not hurt their feelings. 

    I guess I'm not very sensitive, and it's fine that some people are.  I'm not sure if I have a point here.....

    But I truly believe that people shouldn't be flamed just for being new.  I think people should be flamed for being idiots.  Do most of those idiots happen to be new?  Well...yeah.  Because most of the people that stick around here aren't idiots.  Because we flame idiots and chase them away.  Because they're idiots. 

    I also think you can ask a stupid question and not be an idiot.  I have a high idiot standard.

I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now.

    Well I still dont think cash bars are a big deal and you like me now ;)

    I do think we had less of a chance for being 'forgiven' back then.  But we managed to figure out how the board works and either choose to stick around or go somewhere else.

    But since we dont do that to people anymore (meaning rip them to shreds over minor things), we cant really expect people to take a step back and reflect.  We let alot slide so whos fault really is it that things happen the way that they do?

    I think we should all just get really mean again.  I was better at that than being nice and shiit like Im supposed to be now.......

    Very, very true. I see it more on other boards, but sometimes a newb comes in and asks a stupid question (i.e. can I fire a BM), and people go at them with both barrels. If they continue to think they are right after everyone is telling them that they are wrong, then flame away. But sometimes they really don't know what the right answer is, and are trying to just do the right thing. But a lot of times they just get immediately flamed and judged by 10-15 people, and it puts them on the defensive, and they fight back, and people attack, and it goes on and on.
