A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

....'And just because theft happens everyday does not make it right!'


THEFT???????????????????????

Oy Vey!

An FYI: theft n. 1. The act or an instance of stealing; larceny. 2. Obsolete. Something stolen.

In other news:

Ladies, can I be candid with you all for a moment?? If it were not for this board, my wedding would be a disaster and I would be in a insane asylum. I have received so many wonderful ideas regarding every single aspect of my upcoming wedding from all of you. From flowers, to colors, to flowergirl dresses . . .you name it. I've even formed some real friendships! (What up Kimi! ) When my BMs were driving me up a brick wall, you all were there telling me that everything was going to be ok. When I almost jumped out of a window because of problems finding a reception hall, you all were right there encouraging me not to give up. I receive more support right here than I receive from my closest friends and family. I've learned that other brides-to-be are genuinely happy for you in most instances during the wedding planning process because we are all going through the exact same thing!

I am not only thankful for you all sharing ideas, but I am grateful for your willingness to share. I couldn't believe how I could create a new post about an issue, and within minutes, 150 people would view it, and over half responded and were there to rescue me.

So, what's your point Radiostar??

I said all of that to say, don't stop sharing. Don't EVER stop. (Like Puff Daddy) You ladies are saving a lot of people from mental breakdown. I am a professional idea stealer. I may not be able to call, fax, or e-mail everyone that I 'steal' from . . .but please don't take it personal. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. But also realize that if I ASK you for something, and you GIVE it to me, that aint stealing.

I love you all more than you can possibly imagine.

Thanks radiostar
Perfectly said

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

WOW nicely put

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

Well said Kesha!! ITA that were it not for the internet in general & wedding boards, our wedding would not be all that. Continue to GO GIRL!

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

Very well said!!! I FULLY agree

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

I guess you didnt want to post this in the original thread because someone might read what YOU wrote:
'Being in show business, where 'idea stealing' occurs on a daily basis . . .if anyone wants to prevent 'idea stealing', they should copyright their idea. '

Didn't YOU call it theft? Oh yea, thats right - you called 'idea stealing'. Totally different right?

Steal: (stl) 1. To take (the property of another) without right or permission. 2. To get or effect surreptitiously or artfully 3. To move, carry, or place surreptitiously.

Why cant we be adults about this and keep it in the original thread?

In any event, this sort of immaturity is exactly what will keep me and other brides from sharing their ideas.

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

Okay this is my first time posting on one of these threads and i'm just so upset that women would act this way. We are all grown ladies and should just leave this all alone. If you take someones idea on this site just don't post that you took it and if you believe someone stole your idea, just forum mail them and speak to them about it..please do not bring it up on the BHB board. This is a private issue that should be dealt with privately not with everyone on liweddings. Now can we please stop this nonsense and get back to wedding planning.

Really do love this site and I want to thank everyone for their help and please continue to share your ideas.

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

I actually chose not to post this in the original thread, because I wanted to make sure that my sincere appreciation for brides who don't have a problem with sharing ideas didn't get lost in the sauce.

Hey, why am I explaining myself??


My appreciation for brides to be on this board is very, very genuine. I don't want this internet brawl to take away from what I have said previously. I thank those who have helped me plan my wedding, (including you), and I don't want those who are willing to share to stop.

If you don't want to share any longer, that would probably be the best thing for you to do being that this IS the BRIDES HELPING BRIDES board. You probably wouldn't feel comfortable here.

Poof, be gone.

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

AM I reading this correctly?

Before I jump to conclusions...please confirm...

are you saying that newlyweds should not be on this board??

Please tell me that I am wrong?

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

If the intent of this thread is to thank people who have helped you in the past why is it titled with the phrase 'A Lesson in Thievery...', and include an out of context quote from the original thread?

I am really hurt that I have been personally attacked about this issue and have to constantly defend myself despite going out of my way on several occassions to help brides over the past few years.

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

No Yabbo!

Steph said that she doesn't want to share ideas anymore. So I suggested for her not to 'share'.

I thought this board was all about helping one another not having an 'indian giver' mentality.

I think I'm ready to leave this alone now. Can we finishing 'HELPING' one another now?

Pretty please with sugar on top??

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

thanks for clarifying...the post just seemed a little hostile...but maybe I'm just being defensive...

Who knows this song, sing it with me, Kumbaya my lord, Kumbaya

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

holy ****, its still going on. lets drop it please.

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

wow - I thought this was over? Posting something like this is a sure way to get everyone all upset again....which is what I thought everyone was trying to avoid?

I for one think the BHB comment was a bit harsh - after all, how many of us brides has Stef helped since day 1?? Not really the best way to end a 2 day old argument

Re: A Lesson in Thievery & Some Random Thoughts From Your New Best Friend, Radiostar

Sorry if anybody was offended. But if you don't want to 'help' anymore, why moan about how you're not gonna 'help' anymore on a Bride Helping Brides message board? Sounds silly, doesn't it?

I was very hurt one of my fellow board members was extremely happy about her programs...only to get knocked down by the very person who 'helped' her in the 1st place.
