Once I got flamed for saying I didn't want to go to a baby shower because I felt like the friend was only inviting me for the gift because she hadn't talked to me since the baby was born and I wasn't able to make it to the hospital immediately. People were all "she just had a baby, she's not returning calls because she's exhausted!" I went to the shower. She never talked to me again after she got my gift.

I was just happy to be vindicated. I knew it was going to happen so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Plus, I kept the bottles that were originally part of the gift because we were being shown to a b-mom and I thought I might need them and a little bit of "Fuck you, then."
I don't think I post enough to be flamed. If I posted every single thing that popped into my head, I'm sure I would be. But, I shy away from conflict, so I keep most of my thoughts to myself. :-)
Yes I sure did. I got called out because I was being a drama whore about the dead terrorist in the funeral home in my town.
In my defense it was only a few weeks post partum and I think that played a big part of it. I totally survived and I think I did so because once called out I was like "ya know what.. you guys are right I am being a drama queen"
I don't know what people think of me. I would hope people like me but I am not even sure enough people even know who I am to care... which kinda bums me out.
That being said I feel accepted...
I think you're awesome. I'm in awe of your ability to handle everything in your life.
I don't think I've ever been flamed. I got into it with Elle right off the bat, but I don't recall any flaming.
I couldn't open that thread last night since the app crashes whenever you click a proboards link (grr), so I'm just now seeing it. Holy shit. I'm so jeals of your handwriting!

haha, thanks! in 8th grade my teacher shamed me for having terrible penmanship, so since then I've been all about being neat and tidy when I write. I will rip up a post-it if it doesn't look neat.
@misoangry schooled me on copyright laws. I was clueless and I think you thought I was a moron. I admit I was an idiot. I'm glad I went back and read the contract we had with out photographer.
I'm sure there are more times. Eh, there are so many people here, I'm sure someone is going to find something I write flameworthy. I just try not to offend anyone.

My hackles are raised. jjwriter can use the "F" word and then say sorry i was sheltered (which is not necessarily factually accurate) and everyone is cool with her (despite the prior sins of broomsex) but someone else acts gross/ignorant and they need to diaf?

I'm here. She won't go away though; I just ignore her altogether.

LOL. Did I do it as cuppyright or as myself?
I think everybody is a moron, so don't go feeling special or anything. LOL.
I don't post often enough to be flamed. But on the nest, hisno1girl flamed me hard for saying I thought it was dumb for a guy to ask the father's permission before asking his girlfriend to marry him. Only kuus was on my side. I still think I'm right
@misoangry You didn't hurt my feelings at all! Ha! I just felt dumb and like it was info I should've known, but I feel that way a lot these days. I've lost a ton of brain cells since giving birth.
It was pretty recent, so I think you were miso? I was responding in a thread about using a picture on a cake and how the bakery wouldn't do it. I had been planning on using a few pictures to make something for H. I thought our photographer had sold us the rights to the pics to use as we please. When I looked at our contracts, our wedding photographer had, our newborn pic photographer hadn't.
I ended up contacting her and am paying her to make what I was planning on making myself. So, now I am a couple hundred dollars poorer, but am not doing anything illegal. So, thank you? Haha

I took it personally when my deceased husband got flamed for something I shared here (well, here meaning gbcn but another board) and a bunch of people were all "he's a douche and you don't know you're being abused" when he wasn't and I wasn't. I defended his honor as best I could, but bowed out when someone chimed in with "better luck next time." I think of that poster every time I use that term in conversation. I have a theory as to what went on in that portion of that thread and why, but I won't be sharing it.

I ignore jj. Before the poll, I ignored mama too. I am surprised jj didn't get even more backlash than she did, but I also don't see her posting all that much. Unless maybe I'm really good at ignoring her.
