Laz, all I can see when I look at your avatar are boobs. Not flaming. Just admiring.
Lol. I keep meaning to change it but I'm always on the app! Once I start back to work I'm gonna actually be posting on a real love computer again! Yahoo! So I'll change it. But for now, ain't nobody got time for that.

I'm still fairly new in terms of posting. I'm sure my time is coming, but I usually think long and hard about posting replies. I've also decided not to hit "post" on more than one occasion because I'm not sure how my tone will come across. Better to say nothing at all, IMO
No, but if I say anything remotely controversial, I get too nervous to check back into the post until much later. That said, someone on TN ML board made me cry once. Good times.
Dude, I am not making fun of you for being freaked out at all. I totally understand. It is just funny to ME that my intro to this board went down like that.

I haven't been flamed because I've mostly lurked (on and off since the beginning of the Nest), BUT I have bangs now so I have no doubt I deserve a flaming.
Yes. Twice. The first was gun related, and the second was fall out from people still thinking I'm awful due to the first flaming (if I remember correctly, which I might not). The first time I stuck around, the second time I left for two weeks because I was too personally hurt by the comments people made and I needed to focus my priorities.
There are still people who dislike me and judge the shit out of me, I'm completely sure of it. Fuck it.
I'm going to assume most people who don't get flamed either don't post much or don't share much of their lives/opinions.
I can think of a few flamings, though most of the time it's just a few people flaming me vs. a pile on. The only one I recall where it was multiple people was something about mommy wars in which I said I didn't think I could handle having a child and working because I'd never see them and that's not ok with me, and I must have said it in such a way that sounded like I was judging other women who do work and have kids. I think it was a case of my OP not being written very well and then it seemed like I was digging out of a hole I didn't mean to create.
I think people got over it, it wasn't directed at anyone or particularly hateful.
Sometimes I post without stopping to re-read what I said and ensure what I meant was clear. I blame it on ADHD and the fact that I have to post quickly when I'm at work because anyone could read over my shoulder at any time
I was flamed at least once that I remember. About a year ago - when my H was super drunk at BILs wedding, which had been extremely stressful and I was 14ish weeks pregnant. I was piiiiised and a few said I was over reacting. And didn't like the fact he gave me his debit card to go buy some things the next day.
I survived! I'm still here - I was gone for a bit beginning in September, but non-related to flames.
I have no idea if I'm accepted. I like to think so - I'm sure there are people who don't care for me, but that's going to happen here or IRL. Not everyone likes...everyone...

It's funny to you that it went down like that? Of course, it is going to go down like that when people act creepy.
And she didn't say you are making fun of her. She said you are making light of it. Which is exactly what you did. You were all like, oh yeah, I guess one time, but it was just @misoangry thinking I was stalking her. No biggie. Lolz!
I've not survived a flaming because I've never been flamed. I don't post enough to be that controversial. Maybe some day my time will come. A girl can dream!

I don't think I've personally been flamed. The twirlie blog was dogged a lot, and I forced a GTG into lock down by mentioning possibly attending. It spawned the whole APOLOGIZE thing.
I haven't been flamed yet, but LTP got on me once because she didn't like my sig pic. MelindaFelinda rescued me by filling the thread with her wedding pics.
Oh and once I made the mistake of posting in a thread on CE&P and Habs took something I said about kids at weddings and turned it into something else.

I never acted creepy and PMed the info on who I was. I think it is funny that an innocent intro turned into a mild flaming for something I knew absolutely zero about. Not because people were wrong to be suspicious, but because I was so surprised and caught off guard by it.
But then again, I find humor in many things. I guess I'm weird.
Maybe I will get flamed in the have you been flamed post!

I've never been flamed. But that's because I am very careful about getting involved in controversial threads, and talk myself out of saying a lot of things I've almost said. I'm sure it's just a matter of time until I make some heinous misstep, lol.
So um...what's the story with joshlyman and miso? I have no recollection of this. ETA: Nevermind. Found it.
The stupidity of others never ceases to amaze me, with its depths and breadths and perpetual surprises.
If only the Justin Beiber thing happened at the same time. (He visited the house and signed the guest book saying he thought she'd have been a belieber, or some shit like that.)

I'm not particularly gentle in my approach and used to be looking to burn, like, my entire day at work. Arguing with strangers was an easy way to entertain myself.
I'm not up for debates much anymore. Usually when I drop a bomb now, I get flamed, but I see something shiny and wander off rather than defend myself.
