Crumby things are crummy. Also, beans, you're a little nuts.
well that may be. but it is ironic to me to be all "we didn't say that!" and get all upset that there's this implication that you (ML) did. Then turn around and accuse me of saying a whole bunch of shit that I ddn't say or intend. Its pretty infuriating to have people reacting to shit I never said or meant to imply.
Again, I never intended to say "people here on ML said military members are baby killers and untouchables" so please, just stop. I am sorry (truly with no sarcasm) that it was implied as such.

It's okay. Next time Crafts posts about yarn feel free to yell at them about this.
Ok. I recognize fully that I am way overly invested at this point. I recognize this makes me seem a little unhinged. I can't find the original post- possibly DDed (which was on the bump, as was this post I will link), but this is around the time I am thinking of the post I mentioned, and I believe it got XPed around more. I fully admit this was no one important, no one here, and no one from ML. But from community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/2/28645429/ShowThread.aspx, chick named Brandi was trolling around calling military baby killers. eta and she's in this epic thread as well community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/4/70333916/ShowThread.aspx
"future*hockey*mom: piecesofflare: Actually no, just finding another pregnancy site might be a good plan. I'm pretty sure no one's ever going to let you forget those things you just said about military wives.
Military wives, eh? Now you've offended me twice. Fantastic and classy. May the apple fall far from the tree.
This. I rarely am offended by anything said on these boards...even posts from people who are BSC just make me laugh. BUT, Brandi Bee's posts on 3rd tri about military wives and service men and women make me ABSOLUTELY SICK! I am not in the military, nor is my DH, but I find people who disparage those that serve to be absolutely reprehensible. The post in which she implied that soldiers kill Iraqi babies was particularly heinous.
And this more recent cross board war which I did not take part in. I realized in much of my searching that Kuus was the main one making the extreme comments (which is why I said I think I am remembering one or two posters) so I thought I would drop it there. Because I realized I am only remembering a couple people, so I backed off. eta: tried to. and I guess I failed, lol. I am usually more normal than all this. pandce.proboards.com/thread/45230
I haven't read anything, but I am thinking a boot camp birthday party where grown men sweat and work out and get dirty... shirtless, sounds awesome. I wouldn't mind a little water either if I can hold the hose. I may need to arrange such a thing next year. Or have a second birthday.
So, basically, no, you don't know of any ML threads where people went nuts calling service members baby killers or started class warfare and said they were untouchables?
Also, I specifically stated "on the global nest/gbcn", not "ML" because fuck if I can remember what posts started where and who cross posted what, and what posters post on more than one board, and which boards those all are! So sorry to implicate ML specifically in this military bashing, that was far far from my original intent, I would hate to tarnish y'alls name!!
This is ridiculous. The boards each have different posters and different personalities. Sure, there are some crossover posters but most people stick with one to three boards at most. You can't attribute one board's biases to another. CEP has a weird fixation on and hatred for old people. MM freaks out if you have less than 500K in savings. Child free thoughts likes to pick on tweens. These traits aren't universal and aren't shared by ML.
If all of the nest / GBCN was the same, then you'd be attributing all of these antimilitary opinions to the military families board. That seems like a weird and inappropriate accusation.
ETA: now we are being lumped in with some troll on the bump? WTF? Bumpies, and not just troll bumpies, are out there protesting gay marriage at Chik-fil-a. ML would shiv you for that.
I'm loling to all this since just yesterday my AF husband answered someone's question about his job with "It's the military. We're supposed to kill people and break things" not that in any way is his actual job. Although, he works in a place where people refer to certain people as killers or support, so I think they all have a rather sardonic sense of humor about it.
Sure, he'd be hurt if someone called him a baby-killer, but no one has done that. The humanitarian aid is nice and all, but at the end of the day, the mission isn't about that.
That said, I do see where Beans is coming from. If you're taken offense to a military related post somewhere on any of the boards, that's going to color your perception, whether it's valid or not, and get an otherwise calm poster heated.
