[QUOTE]My point is if you can comprehend it is that quit whining about what other people post. If anyone feels you are mean, he or she has a right to say it, the same as you do. The elementary school BS is obvious to most mature people. I am fairly sure you understand, but some won't. So suck it up, put your big girl panties on and deal with it. If you feel better about making others feel bad good for you. Making fun of a supportive response to anyone while stating that your "damn near obligation" to point out the other is unhealthy leans toward hypocritical. If you want others to respect your right to opinion, then you must respect theirs. Hence "ladies" why it works both ways. If you don't agree on my supportive suggestions, good for you. Don't read them.

What is your reading comprehension level, btw? You seem to be so familiar with elementary school, I assume you will know. My guess is 3rd.

Oh, we will read your posts so we can make fun of them.

You might be taken more seriously if you knew the first thing about simple English grammar and punctuation. There is a difference between "your" and "you're". As an "adult", you shoud know it.

I for one was a lot more concerned with someone being so fragile she would be crying everyday about stuff people post here. There is a lot more going on with this person then anyone being mean on SNARKY Brides (note that says "Snarky" , not "Hug Bug Brides"). My big girl panties are pretty firmly in place here, I think. Maybe you can go start a Post Secret Board and whine about what a bunch of hypocritical bitches we are there.

OP-If people don't want advice (or judgment) from strangers then don't post on an international board especially not one called "Snarky Brides".

Yall stole my phrase!!

That's all I have because I can't take the "you all are so mean" posts. I'm not really sure what the OP was looking for when she came to the SNARKY brides board. I think that many people make the mistake of not lurking and think that the names of the boards are what those boards are actually used for. I have to admit that when I first started posting, I had that same thought too. Boy, was I wrong.

I do not think that means what you think it means.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · October 2010

Before I read the rest of this thread, I have a few things to say to the OP.

Hell yes planning a wedding is stressful. But if you ask a stupid question, I couldn't care less about your stress. Stress doesn't give someone a license to be an idiot.

If someone responds by saying "REALLY? Try NOT being a selfish brat!" they are trying to bring you back down to earth and force you to look at the bigger picture.

Andplusalso, please develop a thicker skin. Not everyone you meet in life will like you, and the internet is no different. Crying because someone told you to quit being a jackass is lame. If someone calls you a horrible person who deserves to die, then you might have something to cry about - and most knotties I know would definitely not tolerate that kind of beratement, and they'd more than likely defend you in that case. But if you're being a snot, get ready for the lashing. We hear a lot of bullshit up in here and frankly, it gets old.

Get over yourself.

Are they still Underpants if you're wearing a skirt?

maratea · October 2010

Underpants is better. But I like to say it as "undapants". Underwear is also acceptable.

Mara - when I see "undapants," it reminds me of Cory Matthews.

Right, it is her right. So by that logic, which I agree with, it's also our right to disagree with her post and state that. Yes?

IN ADDITION, just because she states it, doesn't then make it our responsibility to make any changes. Which is kind of what people are pointing out, in a round about sort of way. So, there's that too.
