Why? What did what anyone's husbands do have to do with the topic at hand?

And "uncalled for"?? Well, that is going to be a matter of opinion, isn't it? And how exactly do you know that people "read into it" and it wasn't meant exactly how it was taken?

So Lexxy and jlbear - this wasn't a nasty comment to a what is a benign response to the question asked?

So, we know ohFour does not usually cook, that NJN is a SAH, some people work full time, some work part time. Some have families, some are just poster/SO and some are single. O4 was holding her own when she responded. And IDKWTD calling her a troll is not a nasty comment? Lily is clearly stirring the pot just as much and yet, no reprimand. That is a double standard especially if it is coming from you the moderator, not you the poster. It seem that the three of you were continuing in making this as contention as possible especially by bringing in comments about other posts.
Maybe her reputation does precede her, so what. Ignore her. Yet the three of you tend to stir the pot a little more instead of letting things settle. Especially with lily baiting Weltz.
At least, that is how it appears. And this is not the only thread that this has happened on.
Weltz started the nasty comments, people are allowed to call her out on it.

Weltz said only one thing that would be considered out of line. And that was in response to ohFour's comment. "I was addressing the gals on this thread". And it looked like ohFour countered pretty well. Then LGS started the stirring the pot again with her comments that basically Wetlz should not have even read the thread since she started it. Then you stirred a little more and chimed in about drama free posts and warning about trolling the post. Then it just went downhill from there with lily and weltz bickering back and forth. If weltz is trolling on this thread, then so is lily.

Oh. I'm not innocent. I don't pretend to be.

But I have been ignoring a poster for well over 6 months now and they keep on after me.

So where is your attempt to discipline of that poster?

I still fail to see how asking a question is trolling on my part when it was in direct response to a question that had absolutely nothing to do with the thread.

The thread that has everyone bickering back and forth? Ohfours response was fine. Kept it level headed and nothing nasty about it.

It was the following threads that have people riled up. I had a hand it that? Really? By staying neutral and pointing out how others were being nasty and baiting? I believed I pointed out flaws from both sides.

And all this mostly over a perceived slight about husbands not cooking! Even you admitted that because it came from weltz, that it struck you the wrong way. If it had come from someone else, this probably would not be an issue at all.

It wasn't the question - it was the way the question was thrown out there. As if our husbands are somehow lacking b/c they don't cook when our wives work.

Admittedly, if it was anyone else, I'd probably have taken the question as concern rather than a slam. But, well, her reputation precedes her.

The immediate nasty response to ohfour show's the attitude she entered the thread with. It's pretty much the same attitude she enters just about every thread. Would you like to go read some of them? She especially likes to go on Gaga's threads and derail them before anyone has said so much as boo to her. It is an obvious pattern. Pretending it doesn't exist is laughable.

Oh, I've read them. And my comment in my head is that this is just so junior high mean girls, why can't people grow the heck up? Notice I don't usually respond. I ignore it 99% of the time.

I do understand that it can be frustrating. Hell, the bitching is what made me respond to this thread when I usually ignore it. I like talking about food and menu planning and such.

But if you know it's a pattern, responding to it will only inflame the situation. You know what is happening and yet, it continues. Both sides end up with dirt on them. You cannot claim that one side is not just as inflammatory when it is happening. It may be in response, but both sides are just as guilty. It takes two sides for the nastiness to continue.

I've read those posts and more. I have also seen where the attacks on weltz start even before her sarcastic attitude comes in, especially when religion is involved (not often but it happens). There is a lot of posts that could be considered controversial and baiting. Some of the stuff that gets posted seems like it is posted for intentional baiting. LGS starts a lot of threads, some that are considered humorous and some serious. Out of 27 threads on the first page, 13 were started by LGS. I am not trying to single anyone out but the facts speak for themselves. "Boaty McBoatface" and weltz saying "Your opinion is irrelevant. You don't live there" is one example where that same phrase that weltz expressed has been told to her from US posters many times. Or that she is not religious/agnostic so she has no say. So her saying it back is controversial?

There are threads on which I have posted an opposing opinion, not controversial, and have been just this side of being slammed for having a different opinion from the popular view. I have gotten PMs warning me about having different views from popular opinion.

You people give as good as you get but some of you can't handle it when you get.

And I haven't said anything, until now, about Weltz on this thread.
You are right. I assumed that you were talking about weltz considering the rest of the threads that you quoted were talking about her.
In general, I am tired of the attacks on this board and it does not matter who started it.

So, you talking about LGS when she isn't even a part of this discussion with the disclaimer, "I'm not trying to single anyone out" isn't an attack on her or baiting with that topic? It's just as much of one as anything else.

"There is a lot of posts that could be considered controversial and baiting. Some of the stuff that gets posted seems like it is posted for intentional baiting. LGS starts a lot of threads, some that are considered humorous and some serious. Out of 27 threads on the first page, 13 were started by LGS. I am not trying to single anyone out but the facts speak for themselves."

Please. The tone was there. But you can sit there and infer entire things I did not say, while trying to say my inferring tone in something that was actually said is wrong.

My husband cooks, cleans, puts the toilet seat down and took care of his own child. So did my father. There are very few gendered roles in my life. If a job needs to be done, it gets done.

The question was legitimate. The delivery was a bit off. The response was definitely questionable.

You know what?

I don't give a rip if you liked my response or not.

It had nothing to do with you at all.

So really, you have kept this going just as much as anyone else and it renders your admonishing of others hollow.

We know you don't cook or clean or go to the store.
So Lexxy and jlbear - this wasn't a nasty comment to a what is a benign response to the question asked?

So, we know ohFour does not usually cook, that NJN is a SAH, some people work full time, some work part time. Some have families, some are just poster/SO and some are single. O4 was holding her own when she responded. And IDKWTD calling her a troll is not a nasty comment? Lily is clearly stirring the pot just as much and yet, no reprimand. That is a double standard especially if it is coming from you the moderator, not you the poster. It seem that the three of you were continuing in making this as contention as possible especially by bringing in comments about other posts.
Maybe her reputation does precede her, so what. Ignore her. Yet the three of you tend to stir the pot a little more instead of letting things settle. Especially with lily baiting Weltz.

LGS certainly is part of this conversation. She is the one who commented first that weltz was stirring the pot. She's trying to stir the pot on the thread I started. You would think she would avoid me when she can clearly see who started the thread since she constantly CLAIMS she doens't want to talk to us. Go figure.

It is to be expected that any posted can and will comment on her posts. Whether that post be nice or snarky, people will post. Yet people seem so surprised when it happens.

There is a difference between posting and discussing the topic, and just coming in to snipe at people.

You may even vehemently disagree, but if you are still discussing the topic, that is different than making it personal. Gaga may make unpopular statements, but they are usually about the TOPIC unless and until someone else makes it personal.

NJN was not offended by welts' post and she spoke up.

"Tone" on a message board is often up for interpretation.
