Posted by SkettiHeadie[/QUOTE]

Do the comments even count as snarky? I can't tell due to the terribly poor attempts at sarcasm and ridiculous use of smiley faces as an attempt to... what exactly? Snark fail, if that's what it is.

Don't do that. No matter how right you are, the minute you start talking to me like you're my mother and I'm a recalcitrant 4 year old that needs correcting I'm going to disregard everything you say.

I did not refer to you the way I would to a 4 year old. I was simply suggesting that everyone keep the context in which this whole thing blew up (someone losing a close relative) in mind.

You can take or leave whatever I say because, frankly, I don't care.

So? If the whole board collectively sh*ts their pants, just because you're not the only one who did it doesn't negate the fact that you did, in fact, sh*t your pants.

<div>At this point, I don't think it matters in what context this all started. It basically all boils down to another newb trying to telll a board full of grown adults how they should and should not talk. That never goes over well. Snippy is a grown woman, and if she wants to respond that way, she will. I guarantee that this post is not going to change who she is. Just like nobody else changes how they post when someone says how mean the old married hags are.</div>

Not really; the context in which this blew up is overly sensitive posters taking an offhanded comment to heart. If you're that offended by what Snippy says, then block her, or confront her.

FTR - I don't think that OP meant to stir things up w/ her OP here, as she's just trying to get an understanding of the board dynamics. Others, however, want to take it upon themselves to continue to argue whether Snippy was right or wrong, and whether or not the board was right or wrong to allow her comment to go "unpunished" simply because she's a reg.

NOLAbridealmost · April 2011

Does this mean you're taking your ball and going home?

No. I am staying. I have a voice and I think I have valuable things to add to these discussions. I also do not think that I in any way treated any of the readers of this board as if they were children when I suggested that we all keep perspective about the OP of the original thread's position. (That being said, if you feel patronized, I apologize because it was not my intention at all).

I've been here far too long to give up after something like this

DeadUtopia · April 2011

I like how this whole thing has been so bent out of shape about something so inconsequential. I come to these boards to get info that I could use for my wedding, same as most of the other people on here. Frankly, threads like this are useless to the majority of the people who frequent these boards trying to do the same as me. I don't see why everyone is so up in arms about something anyway. I think my first post on this thread expresses everything that I would just repeat now.

And, btw, I use smileys because I don't take this as serious as some of you must be. It's just another thread where people disagree and it's going to go on forever and turn into a whole other conversation and fade into the pages and pages of other posts.

It has already been well established that most thought that the original 'snarky' comment on the other thread was a little uncalled for and that being said, there's not much left to discuss.

Everything you just said is another load of crap. You have no idea how many things I have learned about proper etiquette from TK and the etiquette board in general.

Some people take it seriously because they are actually learning things in order to not turn into a crazy talked about bridezilla for the rest of their lives.

And this is why people stick around on convos. Not to be obnoxious. I've been in threads with most of you before. I was just expressing what my opinion was and just because everyone doesn't feel the same doesn't mean I'm going to skulk away with my tail between my legs.

I still take everyone's advice and I use it. I look at posts and pay attention to how certain things are received on these boards so I know what to avoid, etc.

I'm OK. I worked my last day on SAT, and now I'm officially on Maternity leave. I'm ready for them to come - Docs won't let me go past 38 weeks (standard procedure w/ twins), so if they don't come this week, they will be evicted on Friday at 11:30 am.

Ha yeah, that's what I have been reading anyway.

I am so glad they are going to term. I know you had some contractions early on.

My friend had her twins at 31 1/2 weeks and they are finally in the seven pound range 2 1/2 months later. The longer they cook the better. I hope everything goes very smooth for you and I will be thinking about you guys.

It is frustrating, but I do like how the poster on that thread that you're talking about chose to be the better person and ignore that comment completely whereas the commenter apparently shouldn't be posting on a E board if that's how their responses are, even though sarcasm and downright rudeness may be hard to decipher via comments.
