Nope. Let this get aired out, too. Stand down. Thanks!
I can't see your gif, but sorry, I disagree. It's a huge deflection from the original point, which still seems to be lost on some.
It's an eye roll. I don't think it's deflection. It's been asked and answered and no one at all is stopping anyone from continuing to discuss v and her statements, actions and inactions. But that doesn't mean there is a need to police other things that might arise from this conversation. You and everyone else can continue to make sure the original point is lost on no one. If you guys are about that life, tag them and set them straight. But we all know that most of those of us who post regularly on MM (and aren't just doing on a drive by because someone mentioned this thread on Twitter or FB or wherever these things are discussed) would have never acknowledged v's disappearance. We're like a messy WASPy family. All sorts of dysfunction, but we ignore it and talk about something else instead. When these threads arise, it's like the purge. So, let it happen. Appreciate ya!
just a couple of receipts (third is about @notquiteblushing - just ran across it in a deep search). unfortunately the rest of the posse keep their shit semi-private so you miss most of the back and forth.
I actually can't find the post that mocked the idea of "holding pizza while wearing a cocktail dress" (in response to this thread). that was super cute.
@wan et al., please tell me again how it's creepy to "follow" posters to MMM. before spouting off about "bullying" or "harassment" take a breath. ya'll can be pretty ugly.
I don't believe in my heart of hearts that v is racist. I think she was an ass to kirkette and did not respond well when she realized how others had interpreted her behavior and motivations.
How do you/we know those first two are about you? Honestly curious, not implying you're lying, I don't have a dog in this fight.
because they were happening simultaneously w/ my posts on GBCN. the wedding post was occurring during my wedding thread linked above.
there also used to be more... 1-2 of the other participants used to have public accounts, and they were also friends of friends, so I was privy to a little more of the back and forth (like when I was specifically named and my husband's identity was being picked apart). I do not have screen shots from before (just grabbed those today via twitter search).
This post makes me sad. This is why we've lost so many amazing members of our community, because members don't hold people accountable for their actions. I can't believe people are coming in here and saying "I don't care that V was racist, she gave good fashion advice so I love her!" And this is why Trump is a front runner

I did have a gender reveal party and it was awesome. It was actually just my parents and my sister but there was cake. Hold on I have pictures.
Edit:
(It was also the Super Bowl that day so my mom went a little nutty with the theme. I welcome any excuse for cake. Poor Ethan, I found out he was a boy while I was in the middle of a work meeting. If there's a next time I will have cake again.)

and of course those names are GBCNers. if memory serves, choco was the (main?) one doing the husband-picking (though I'm not 100%). feel free to clarify, ladies!
Wow. I had no idea people had regular ongoing conversations on Twitter either. Publicly trash talking seems a little, um, not smart.
yep.
and lest anyone think I'm the only person being specifically named...
If you have seen my name anywhere, please share. I'm feeling utterly and completely messy today and would be so amused to rip someone to shreds just because it's Monday. #lightwork
at the idea of talking about GBCN anywhere other than GBCN. This place is like my Fight Club. BF knows I have "a message board" but that's it. And that's ONLY because he mentioned reading some sports message board once so I knew he would get it.

Weren't people (faux) terrified when cville (?) was quoted in some article? I'm pretty sure people acted like the sky was falling. I mean we all know it's not a safe place but wtf. I think someone on CEP got run off something similar (although I think there were numerous other things that contributed).
I don't even post here but mentioning someone's SN on Twitter is bullshit. GBCN is not hard to find.
I don't get this? What exactly do you think is going to happen? If some anonymous tweeter tweets about a random screen name, suddenly that person's employer will find them? Because if that's it, there are so many weird factual what-ifs involved to get from point a to point b that I can't see it ever happening.
Bullshit like this is why I DIDN'T post any wedding pics on here. And my wedding wasn't half as nice and I ain't half as pretty as tacom. No one wants to hear super rude snark about something they worked hard for and felt proud of. Taking it off board is a special kind of inappropriate.

I just mean I wouldn't want my SN mentioned anywhere other than here. And if my SN was mentioned I wouldn't also want it associated with the message board I use it on.
I realize that doesn't come across in my first statement.

I guess I don't think a statement like "wtf esf on gbcn" is going to be interesting to anyone in the universe other than people already here. And so what if some super bored person on Twitter sees it?

You would think, but then there's a whole million page thread on GOMI about GBCN lol. It just rubs me the wrong way, as does the "I want to kick her in the teeth" statement.
