I'm honestly curious as to why it matters if she does this or not.
IMPO, it comes down to a matter of AW being a complete hypocrite, which i do not respect at all.
she starts debates and claims she's open to debating with people. then, when she doesn't like what other people have to say she deletes her account which to me is the equivelant of sticking her fingers in her ears and singing "LALALALALAAAA!!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!! LALALALAA!!!" then a few weeks later she comes back on here and wants to debate again.
it's tiring and it's fucking annoying. which is why i rarely read her posts anymore unless directed towards them (like the posts in the sustainability thread).
Oh ffs. This is deliberately obtuse and a reason why people have had a problem with you lately.
And thank you Lauren.
Okay then.
Eta: and I honestly don't know what more to say on this topic than what I've already said above.
And why do people keep alluding to a having a problem with me? This is also curious to me. Is this a Facebook thing?
I am not on your Facebook( i don't think), but I would guess it's the recent preponderance of snarky one liners you seem to reply to a decent percentage of posts with. Mainly because people are confused as to where the snark is coming from?

This exactly down to the FB part.
Asking someone "Why is anything curious?" is--to the point--as I said deliberately obtuse and beyond that unnecessarily combative. I was not referencing you directly in this post--so if you felt like you had answered appropriately--WHY even respond with your smartass little one liner?
This has been happening with great frequency lately (and I am mostly lurking--and I see it. I can only imagine how off-putting it is to those who are actively posting).

I don't feel like my snark has been more or less than others on here.

I wasn't being combative. Your posts are coming across as combative though.

And that’s perfectly cool however a decent number of people disagree which is what brings us here. However, IMO you are no where NEAR the worst offender however you could possibly be a metal contender.
AW, I disagree with you vehemently on many, many things. But, you are thoughtful, I appreciate your kid advice and stories, and your babies at the bottom of your posts are super cute. So I vote stay.
I actually didn't necessarily find what AW said in the veg thread to be as flammable as it was. I do think she made it very clear that those were HER beliefs and she understood that most would disagree with her. I also thought Pixy explained herself well, fwiw. However, they both had extremely conflicting viewpoints so I dont think they ever could have been reconciled.
I quite enjoy AW on this board and I wish she wouldn't get picked on as much as she does because I think she brings some interesting perspectives and dynamics to the board. And this is coming from someone who is critical of most religious beliefs
I wasn't being combative. Your posts are coming across as combative though.
Asking honestly here, since I got called out in the epic thread and opted to do self-examination and make changes: do you try to do the same? You asked above why more than one person seems to have mentioned your snark, and when they express why, your recourse is to say they are being combative but you don't see it?
Again, just asking. And here's this, direct quote from you:
I accept your apology but not your characterization of me. I will say that 95% of my nesting is from my phone which forces me to be pithy and sometimes that may come across as punchy. But I am the same person that had tears when you announced your pregnancy.
I'm not trying to be superior in asking this - because I'm human and have bad days and don't always present on here as I'd like to. But I also think you can't ask why people are finding your posts to be angry/punchy/snarky and then blink incredulously when they answer your question.
But I will tell you one thing, I will not be deactivating!
::shrugs:: Since in the past you appeared to be honestly asking how people were finding your posts "obtuse," or "off putting," the first post in which I referenced that--was an exact example (in my mind) of that.
It's really just feedback. Not meant to be combative.
I really like you--and kind of miss reading your more in depth thoughts on things--rather than these one-liners.
Im pretty sure that HeyJude is actually my favourite poster. I really dont see the snark.
Thank you! I know can be snarky but I really don't see how it is greater than others such that it warrants these digs. But I will go home and look in the mirror.
i just know that aw can talk any things without getting all jesus-y about it. her and i have posted a lot about hippy stuff and baby stuff and feminist stuff and most of the time it is non jesus-y. i don't know why that cant hold true for the rest of the board
I'm honestly curious as to why it matters if she does this or not.
IMPO, it comes down to a matter of AW being a complete hypocrite, which i do not respect at all.
she starts debates and claims she's open to debating with people. then, when she doesn't like what other people have to say she deletes her account which to me is the equivelant of sticking her fingers in her ears and singing "LALALALALAAAA!!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!! LALALALAA!!!" then a few weeks later she comes back on here and wants to debate again.
You seem to be confusing the word 'debate' with piling on. I'm not defending the speculated reason she de-activates and re-activates over and over, but yeah. I think it should be a unity horse issue that she's piled on more than anyone here, and this is ME stating this!
And on another note, I don't understand why people are complaining about heyjude of late. She's no more snarky than usual these days, and this is ME stating this! 😊
I think AW can be insightful & an asset to the board. I very, very much wish that she didn't frame so many of her discussions within her religion.
TBF I frame a lot of my discussions around the fact I'm black. *shrugs* I'm not saying that it's wrong for her to do it. She greatly identifies herself as a Christian. It's who she is. It's how she sees the world. And there is nothing wrong with that. Now, she can change religions (which I doubt), but my black ass will always be black. So, my point of view is always going to be how I see the world, because quite frankly Militant Nitaw gets tired of folks trying to act like black folks are just supposed to wear the mask all got.dayum.day (sorry for my tangent here).
But, the problem that I have with AW is that if anyone challenges her (like Pixy did in that thread) she gets pissy and rides off in the sunset. That shit is more old and tired than Katherine Chancellor on the Young and the Restless. Marynjoe and I had a fairly heated debate a few weeks ago. We verbally disagreed, but you still see us on the board regardless of each other's position. I can respect that. What I can't respect is this constant on again off again stunt-tacular that AW pulls when folks get on her nerves. It reminds me of a guy that I used to date. He wanted to pull that on again off again crap because he was silly and immature. I ain't got time to play with other folks children. That's how I feel about AW's antics. I don't have time to play those games, so I don't engage her.
But, ya'll do what you want. I'll sit over here with Eclaires and enjoy my popcorn and Sprite (I don't like Coke or Pepsi) and laugh my ass off at the foolishness.
Ditto dylanite. Why does everyone keep saying people are annoyed with heyjude? I haven't seen anything on the boards. Is this something that's being discussed on Facebook or something? She asked the other day where people were saying things, but nobody ever answered her.
people have, repeatedly. I think she is snarkier, but I do my best to just skip over lately. It's expected so i can just skip over it. If that's her thing, that's fine.

Nobody has been shittalking heyjude on facebook. I'm guessing that several people have been annoyed with her for a while, and once one person said something everybody decided to go ahead and let it all out.
Either that or everybody's been PMing like little busy bees. but it ain't FB.
No, it's been happening in the threads. I don't think most people notice because its become commonplace now, if more frequent. She says something, someone says something back, and the thread moves on with most people ignoring it.
I think if you have the same posting style, such as you do LHC, you're not going to pick up on it as much. Short, quick, snarky answers that make a point.

Also, why is everyone up heyjude's ass and nobody says anything about emmybean's disgusting crap lately?
Emmy was called out ages ago. I forget how it ended( any nest historians want to chime in?) but I guess people believe it’s just not worth it to say anything to her about it anymore?
