Why, why, why????

Why do people ALWAYS post "I am late could I be pregnant?" or "Took tests and got two lines, do you think I am pregnant?" And all those kind of ones. I am still a newbie and wouldn't ask it. But really how the he1l on earth are any of us suppose to know? Women drive me crazy with this. But the snark towards it is just plain ol' lmao!!! Quick tip-newer ladies I would refrain from asking these questions!!!

People expect to be pacified and want to hear "You are definitely pregnant". Lots of experienced anglers in these parts, fishin' for validation.

I wonder that myself! Or why they can't even follow basic nettiquette and read them newbie link, or even scroll through a page or two of previous posts. That would clue them in real quick.

Agh! Stupid mobile bumping...just accidentally deleted my comment while scrolling. Basically:

Like PP, I'm with CiderWench. It's. cute that OP thinks her thread will make a difference. Cute and naive.

I also think that the "am I pregnant?" posts are actually pretty entertaining. I always read them and totally get a kick out of the gifs and snark.

Ok, ok...I think after hours of being on the board tonight I'm seeing the posts that get frustrating. I'm becoming truly amazed by how many people think they will come on a forum to get random strangers to give them a different answer because they don't like what google has to say. weird

Hence why you should lurk a little before saying things like people on here are bitter.

People shouldn't have to lurke to better learn how to walk on eggshells for those who are overly sensitive and lack tact. There is a snarky and TTTC board...just saying.

Lurking before posting is basic ettiquette for any message board you want to join, not just this one.

Also, did you happen to notice the third T in "Snarky and TTTC"? That board is not the same as this one. 3T = Trouble Trying to Conceive.

Overly sensitive? We're blunt and give honest advice rather than just telling people what they want to hear. And, when we get really annoyed with people posting the same things over and over again, we get snarky. You yourself just admitted that you can see how frustrating it gets.

Also, if you really dislike the climate of this board, why are you here? I'll never understand the people who complain, but keep right on posting here anyway.

The bolded made me laugh. If that is what you wan to believe, to each their own. Yes, I said that I can understand the frustration not that it warrants obnoxious condescending snark. As for continuing to post, maybe its because I'm not a follower and having discussions like this does not in anyway impact my day as I'm sure it does yours. Btw, the climate on this board is relective of only a small handful of posters at the moment and will evolve the more people that start posting.

You are correct, the climate of this board totally changes every time new people start posting. It is like the circle of life. Good point.

Haha! You know, she claims the board will change as more people start posting. Um. Ok. I have seen quite a few people come and go in my two months here, and I know those who have been here longer have seen many more do so, yet the atmosphere hasn't seemed to change? Those who join tend to seem to enjoy the snarkiness and passing it on. I know I enjoy seeing it...
