 Topic: In support of OB
Posted: 20 July 2010 at 11:44am |
Open letter to the lovely ladies that look after OB.
I love this forum have found it incredibly supportive and helpful over the years. I've been priviledged enough to even meet some of the other OB ladies who are all fabulous.
I also like the Magazine it has its niche and does provide an alternative to the mostly Aussie publications available, I have readily given copies to friends who have enjoyed it as much as I do.
I've also loved the openness of this forum where you can ask any question relating to TTC, pregnancy, child birth, parenting etc without feeling victimized or stupid.
There will always be naysayers, and individuals who spoil it for everyone else. Thankfully they seem to be in the minority and seem to give up on their personal campaigns pretty quickly.
Thanks ladies, long may OB continue.

*LIKE*
Lets bring the forum back to being helpful and not about critising and judging others and please can we stop taking things so personally and being so sensitive and misinterupting things cos this is supposed to be a helpful thread where we should feel comfortable asking a question and not be attacked for not asking it the right way.
If your in a negative argumentative mood (as we can all get in from time to time) why dont we just stay away from the forum at that moment or try to not jump to conclusions or on bandwagons etc
HAPPY POSITIVE COMMENTS

I'd have to say that the sniping and nasty comments on here of late are a little off putting to a semi regular poster. Come on ladies we are all adults.

Agreed!
I get really pissy with people putting the site down publicly because they've gotten their knickers in a twist about something insignificant. I think some of us forget that this site has a bajillion great things about it and maybe one or two not so great things.
I have stayed well away from those threads bagging you recently OB but have always been thinking 'GET OVER IT, you aren't entitled to anything even though you seem to think you are!'
Thank you to all the people that have made OB such an enjoyable, informative, safe and supportive place to be.

Love the site, don't really care about the fact that some posts were deleted, that's the way it goes.
Must admit that I find the drama kinda amusing though

same. Doesn't mean we're immature or anything.
And like bizzy said, it'll all go back to normal. But we have hiccups along the way too!

I only started this, cause I was getting disheartened by OB, then I realised it was one individual spoiling it and nothing to do with the rest of OB at all.

caliandjack because you quoted me does that mean you are refering to me as the person who is spoiling it for you?

Bizzy, I think she's refering to the swings & roundabouts...it's like the financial markets - all peaks and troughs....
