Surprised @ how rude....

spedteach1102 · May 2014

I'm really surprised at how rude people are on this site. (Not everyone of course) People post questions to get advice and numerous times I've read some awfully rude responses. If people are asking advice it's either because they absolutely have no idea or their on the fence about something and just need input. I myself have posted two questions, each time I have encountered the wrath of the wedding "expert" police. Just because someone is choosing a different path then you doesn't give you the right to talk down & bash them. I have other questions about my non traditional wedding and post wedding celebration/party but I honestly don't know if asking my questions are worth the rude judgemental comments I'm sure I will encounter.

So you posted to tell us you might not post? Cool.

Nope, never.

People on here tend to be blunt not rude. There is a difference.

You are absolutely the first person to tell us how rude we are and WOW you are totally right and all of us are going to change our ways since you brought that to our attention

Oooh, are we starting bingo again?? I missed the last round because I was at a work conference.

ETA: Where is my Rosalind Russell avatar?!

huskypuppy14 · May 2014

I see a bingo coming!

Well thank you for responding... Point proven... Rude & completely unnecessary. Much to my surprise (not) I came upon a similar thread where the "Mean Girl" syndrome was in full effect.

I posted my frustration on a chit chat board about my frustration with the amount of nasty women who cannot give an opinion without being mean and snotty. You can give your opinion with out snide sarcastic remarks. It's called having class and being nice.

Snark =/= rude.

The answers are snarky. Because BTDT.

Now I want to see the rude threads.

Blunt is fine... You don't like something you can say its wrong or not the correct. My problem is the people who feel the need to comment with ugly snide nasty remarks followed by their bandwagon of other rude people who banter back in forth mocking and talking down or about the original post.

What did you think would happen if you made a post calling us rude?

huskypuppy14 · May 2014

Dude, one of your discussions I (and others) was on your side (wearing the dress after your wedding). Many of the TK regulars disagree with each other at times.

Now, the other discussion about having a shower after you're already married, you even said it was weird. None of the regulars are going to say that it's ok to have a shower once you are a wife. No one was mean to you on either of those discussions.

misshart00 · May 2014

So, if it's not everyone, can you tell us who is mean?

chibiyui · May 2014

Dude. I am two STRONG margaritas in, and I'm gonna need more.

HobokensFury · May 2014

Yawn

lyndausvi · May 2014

I read the OP's other threads and I'm not understanding this post at all. Maybe she is a Robin Hood for other knotties?

AddieCake · May 2014

I think so, Lynda. She sided with the poster calling us mean girls in a thread on E.

spedteach1102 · May 2014

Reading through other threads and seeing responses to the post. I guess reading through some tonight I was taken aback at how mean some women can be. You are correct the shower thing was a fine and no one was rude. Most likely because it's something that I thought was odd anyway. .. I believe my other post I was thinking about was a response to another tread. Huskypuppy14 your response to this was not at all rude you pointed out an error without jumping down my throat or making off hand snide remarks. You an example as to how to response to someone in a adult way without going all mean girl on them. Thank you.

phira · May 2014

I just read through the other threads you've started. No one was rude to you. You didn't incur any wrath. I think you are reading into the tone of a lot of totally benign posts (e.g. the posts aren't explicitly mean but *could* be read as mean or could be read as neutral), and I think you're taking a lot of comments personally.

Additionally, you're asking for advice, so people are going to give opinions. Some of those opinions might not be want you want to hear, but you can't police them. As long as people are following the terms of service, you can't demand that they post or not post certain things.

I also want to point out that you've only been dropping by to ask questions, and you're not otherwise an active participant in the community at all. There's nothing inherently wrong with that--the purpose of the boards is for people to ask questions and get feedback. But as you might imagine, since you're not making any effort in particular to join the community (get to know people, help answer other people's questions), no one's really going to listen to your criticisms.

spedteach1102 · May 2014

Please excuse my many typos. I should read my post and edit before I hit reply.

misshart00 · May 2014

Here's the thing. We get one of these "all of you are so mean!!!" posts about once a week. Making a post like this is not going to make people change. If you don't like how the forum is, you don't have to stay here. Now, I'm not saying get out by any means. I'm saying that different Internet forums have different dynamics. If you don't like this one, there are hundreds of others out there. The Internet is a big place. I just don't understand why you hang around somewhere where you hate everyone and think they're all so horrible. Furthermore, if you really think people are so mean, call them out in the individual thread. Creating a new thread looks weak. If you call someone out, own it.

AddieCake · May 2014

Excellent point, Phira!

spedteach1102 · May 2014

Although Huskypuppy14 I have no idea what Bingo references too.

larrygaga · May 2014

DaisyMaeMommy · May 2014

But in all seriousness, no one on these boards will stop giving their opinion when it's asked for!

So let's stop posting useless threads about how we're all just so mean and how we like to bully people.

doeydo · May 2014

Meh, being mean would be if I said "OMG, you stupid fuck, pull your head out of your ass". If I disagree with you about something and am blunt about it, that is not mean, IMO.

HaileyDancingbear · May 2014

Go post something political or religious anywhere on the inter webs then come back and tell me how cruel TK is.

Actually don't come back. I don't see the point in being on a site that you clearly hate so much.
