Strangest poster on the knot?

Youaremylolipop · November 2013

I just came across a thread in the student section. It was from a girl that basically took a "When are you going to get engaged" Facebook quiz, and posted the results to her facebook, telling all of her FB friends and family to save the date..before her boyfriend actually proposed. She then proceded to text her boyfriend and tell him to accept her Facebook proposal request, basically forcing him to propose to her because, to quote her from another post, "They had been talking about marriage every single day of their three year relationship."

What????

I never stop feeling bad for the SO in relationships like that.

I wish we could link threads because this is the kind of train wreck thread that I want to read.

Wow ...

ETA: After reading further, backing away ...

Seriously? We've stooped creating threads calling out who we consider to be the "strangest poster on The Knot"??? Are we in third grade? Is this even allowed based on the TOS @knotporscha?

ETA Not to mention you bumped a 2009 zombie thread so you could make fun of it and create this thread in turn. lame.

Sorry made a mistake, It's over in the proposal section on the special topic wedding boards.

@photokitty, Before you go calling me a third grader, you might want to change your Avatar to something other than Hello Kitty. Just putting that out there.

Ha Ha Ha - good one...you sure told me...

If you're going to post a thread like this, at least do it on the Snarky Bride page where it is to be expected. (you know, being snarky about someone/thing for no good reason)

Proper etiquette does not include making fun of people for your own enjoyment. Which I gather was the sole propose of this thread.

I don't know, I think I can argue that she broke etiquette when she posted to everybody that date of her wedding, before her boyfriend even proposed to her. And she broke general life etiquette when she forced her boyfriend to propose? I rest my case. And make that case a solid color, like a deep brown, rather than Hello Kitty

Maggie0829 · November 2013

Pretty sure the OP from the 2009 thread is no longer with said boyfriend because she probably scared him the fuck off with her craziness.

And sure you can say she broke etiquette but I personally could give a rats ass about a 4 year old thread.

Youaremylolipop · November 2013

The thread was entitled "Worst proposal ever." Had to read it, and then once I did thought it was still alive because it was on the first page of the proposal section.

A solid color? General life etiquette? Keep trying, you're almost making sense.

But on the up side - this thread earned me my 500 love it's badge. That's for posting such a rude thread so could point that out and people could agree with me.

You're the only one who posting here saying it was rude, actually. Anybody else feel like I was being rude? Feel free to step up and agree with photokitty. If she was still around these boards to see what I said, then yes it would be rude. She's not here though, so she doesn't give a damn.

Maggie0829 · November 2013

Not sure if it was rude but I do think it was completely pointless.

Youaremylolipop · November 2013

Well at least you didn't call me a third grader, much appreciated

You seem to be new here, so let's pull up a little on the reins a little. No need to get off to a bad start.

Here's some helpful hints (and to answer your question about whether anyone agrees with me) if you look under a post you'll see "quote (how I'm making your quote appear in my response)

Love it (which you'll see my posts have 2 and 5, indicated 2 and 5 people agreed with what I said or Loved It) and <-- Reply (a way to reply that will just you to the reply box without scrolling).

Generally people suggest Lurking for a bit. I don't usually suggest that, but I rarely get into hissy fits with new ladies.

FFS I didn't call you a third grader, I asked if we were in third grade.

It was a pointless mean girls type of post.

Don't make a post to call out other members, around or not. It is against the terms of service.

Get over it, learn from it and move on.

I do believe you started with a hissy fit. I merely defended myself.

After reading it, I still think Jashley was the strangest poster on TK.

Youaremylolipop · November 2013

Who is Jashley?

HisGirlFriday13 · November 2013

I second @moemac. Even though JAshley was (very probably) a troll, definitely the strangest poster on TK.

Good job! Glad I could help you out there

Yes, I think it's rude.

Great! Opinion=appriciated!

Also, it's not "etiquette" that the male proposes. It's tradition, which is different. Either member of a couple might suggest marriage, without being rude. I think public proposals are a very bad idea, because they might put the proposee in the uncomfortable spot of having to crush the proposer in public. Bad taste, bad manners, bad judgement. If it falls into the bad etiquette category, it would perhaps be under the "don't discuss private matters in public'" rule. Of course, that rule, if followed, would wipe out 5000000 Internet forums in one day.

I agree with photokitty: pointing fingers at other people and talking about them instead of to them is ungracious, unkind and unattractive -- which is to say, rude.

Fran1985 · November 2013

Yeah I don't like call out threads. This one is at least about someone who isn't actually here anymore, unlike the recent ones I've seen. But I thought the title was asking for other people to chime in about who they think is the strangest poster on the knot which would not be cool either. One thing I like about the knot is unlike other message boards or sites where the women are very similar to me in location/education/career, the knot has a hugely diverse group of posters. Some posts and opinions kind of blow my mind, but I enjoy learning about other locations and cultural traditions. But I think no need to be snarky about it unless you are actually trying to give advice (like if their plan is rude to their guests or going to hurt their friendships, etc)

I thought this thread was about AroundTheBlock based on the subject title.

I agree with photokitty & AroundTheBlock - calling someone out and saying they are the weirdest poster is rude. Just because said person doesn't agree with the majority, doesn't make them weird. They might be weird in your opinion but making a thread about it is going too far I think.....even if the person is still on here or not.
