I know we all made a decision last week or so, to be a drama free board...I do see a thread that is bringing the negative out...
The way I look at it, everyone is entitled to their own views & opinions...But don't come on a board & start saying stuff & not expect people to call you out on it!!!
I needed to vent that out...Now back to the simple life of the 06 brides!!! Who agrees with me!!??

Re: Can't be all just be friends
I don't even know what thread we're talking about, but yes, we should all be friends.
ETA: I now know what post we are all talking about and I do find it very rude to post this and obviously start a controversy on an 06 board when you are an 05 bride. I also find it rude that many other 05 boards felt the need to come in here and add to the controversy. Let's please leave that stuff to the BHB board.

Re: Can't be all just be friends
No, don't apologize..that's just my point...
I just get really frustrated because there have been a LOT of these nicey nicey threads. I've been on these boards for over a year, and you wouldn't BELIEVE how many I've seen, and you wouldn't believe how quickly people break the nicey nicey pact. It's pointless IMO, and I really felt like this first thread was criticizing katrina for posting something that broguht some negativity to our sunshine and rainbows board. It just seemed like it was calling out katrina's post that it was negative and scolding that post and saying it doens't fit in with our sunshine and rainbows attitude.
i LOVE the 06 board. You girls are AWESOME, and there has been considerably less drama than the other boards, but it isn't anything you can enforce, or have a pact about, it just has to come naturally.
And I think the easiest thing to do s to accept that there WILL be drama and not place blame. I just felt like kissy was trying to somehow blame katrina or her thread for bringin drama to this board. There will be some regardless.

Re: Can't be all just be friends
I understand if someone is frustrated about something and wants to post it, but not for nothing. If we are all talking about the same post, she's not an 06 bride so she should complain in the correct board.

That was my point...Yes I was calling out Katrina bc she is starting trouble on an 06 board...Yes you can post wherever you want, but why start drama on a board you are not part of

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but yes, in an appropriate manner.
Also as stated, she is not an '06 bride...

I know drama is going to happen..But why does an 05 bride have to start it on an 06 board????

Re: Can't be all just be friends
Just so everyone knows, this exact same post was started in the BHB, 05 and 06 boards. I find that strange. Just my opinion.

Exactly! One more thing and then I'll let this rest, hopefully.
If she wanted understanding about the situation, she would have posted on 05 board only, since people probably know her better and understand her personality more. But posting on boards where people don't know you means you obviously knew you'd get contrasting opinions and would be starting a daylong discussion about it. Maybe she's just bored today and has the time to keep 3 conversations going about the same topic? Okay, I'm done now.

MaryMoon - I completely understand, but a lot of us are new so I guess we haven't seen all the 'nicey nice' posts. If I am being naive and unrealistic, well then, I'm sorry. But I am. The girls here have been great thus far and I DO want to make a pact and I THOUGHT that everyone who responded to my previous post a few weeks ago did too. I'm sorry if I am being stupid or if my comments about having a stressed life is pointless. I just want us at the end of the day to be like 'no matter what, the 06 girls are good and kind and care more about planning weddings than debating.' I don't want to debate, I want to be friendly. Call me stupid and naive, but that's what I want to be.
You and everyone else are entilted to their opinions, but I also fee like I am entilted to bump up fun posts to make the others go away!

I said I was done, but I saw this Leese & had to agree with you 110%...If people on this board did not want thing to be quote on quote 'nicey nicey' then those people will not respond to either Leese post from last week, or my post from today!!! The people that want to live in the naive & fantasy world of '06 brides would rather do wedding planning then debate issues' responded to our posts & that is what matters...Everyone can look at this anyway they want, but the people that joined in on the pact of 'no drama' agree that is what WE WANT!

Re: Can't be all just be friends
All I can say is WOW....
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS FORUM???
Is it not to help and support eachother through the planning process.. get ideas, give ideas?? I don't think anyone lives in a dream world (ok, some of us do, we are planning weddings afterall! ) but the fact is we wanna keep things decent here, and if people aren't capable of doing so... well, you get the gist....
But an emphasis has been taken on by some of us here in the 06 board to try to keep the drama to a minimum and stick to the business of weddings.. No cat fights.. no calling people out... etc. And I think we have done a pretty good job so far... Am I wrong to think this?

Re: Can't be all just be friends
Even though I don't know what I am exactly answering to b/c the initial topic went way off track. I just wanted to say that I also prefer to keep it a drama free board. But at the same time, when ppl post their opinions we all have the same right to post our own opinions as well. No need to apologize or sugar coat what ya gotta say. If we all start doing that then what's the freakin point.

Re: Can't be all just be friends
I just think that it is interesting that the thread that is bringing all this 'drama' was started by someone who is not usually even on this board. There is nothing wrong with a little bit of debate, obviously we do not all share the same point of view on every issue. But for the most part, we are a pretty easy going bunch of people. This was the first thread I have seen on the '06 board that has caused any kind of negativity, and it was posted by a non-06er. That kind of bothers me.

Re: Can't be all just be friends
Sorry girls don't mean to drag this out...
I don't think there is anything wrong w/ encouraging 'positivity', kindness or a drama free board. I don't think any of us expect everyone to get along all the time either.
Kudos to those who are trying minimize the cat fights and stay away from the 'drama'. I certainly appreciate it, and it's those posts and brides that make me return every night. If I'm being naive, so be it. I'm happy this way.
