I would just like to voice my opinion regarding MrsMichel07 being banned from LIW, while other girls who instigated the entire time are still around here and bumping the threads to just lead onto more chaos.
Personally I do not feel that MrsMichel07 did anything wrong... She DEFENDED herself when she kept being interrogated, and for that she should get banned for this??? Maybe she used language that was a little inapproiate... but so did others... and other people even went a little to far when people started getting offended with the racist comments... yet they kept on posting these comments after they were already aware that people were getting offended.
I know it is your site and my opinion might not matter... But NO ONE on the 07 board EVER had a problem with MrsMichel07 and they still don't. It seems to be the only people with the problem with MrsMichel07 are the people who all post on a different site (I am sure you have heard of it) LIF. They only seem to come over to the 07 boards to start trouble.
Now I also post on LIF and will most likely not have any friends over there after this post... but MrsMichel07 was my friend... and a good friend to everyone else here on the 07 board... and should not have been banned.
Ok. I think I have babbled enough.

Edited for spelling... OH LORD.

Oh boy! So I went through everything as best I can (that is my way of saying I did not read everything). Yes I now have a migraine. Here's my synopsis. A bride makes a post asking, 'BP & Tattoos: What is you opinion on how they look in pictures? IMO: I do not like see Bms when they are dressed up showing tattoos on their arms- I think it takes away from 'the look'. What do u think?'. No big deal, someone asking for an opinion about tats and how others feel they look in photos. There are some replies on this thread that range from 'I'm not that crazy with them being visible' to 'To each it's own' and ' I think it's tacky and gross' beside many others. The original poster was asking for others opinions. This is what she received - other peoples opinions. Here is what I think - yes this is now my opinion - someone once said opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one and most of them stink! The ones that stink are the opinions that do not agree with our thoughts. Well, if it is an honest opinion and if it's an opinion that was being asked for then why the big deal about them? Here's why! The experts say that communication is only 7% words. The rest is a combination of tonality, body positioning, etc. Thus the statement - it's not what you say but how you say it is very true! Agreed? The problem on a message board is you can not see body positioning or tonality. You may think you know the tone by the words but that is impossible because words are only 7% of the communication. So some may take what is typed out of context. Has this ever happened to you? I bet it has! And it is my sincere belief that this is part of what happened in this case. The other part has me completely perplexed. Why on earth anyone would think that there is or has to be a rivalry between LIW and LIF is way beyond me. Especially when it was the general population of newlyweds on LIW that asked for LIF. Why there would ever be cross posting between the sites with the intent to make fun of or provoke another is ludicrous, isn't it? LIF was established for families. And yes a family is made up of at least two people. You do not have to have or be planning to have children to be a member of LIF. LIW and LIF are there for people to have a forum by which they can communicate and HELP each other. Not to tear anyone down, make fun of anyone or provoke another. So, here's what we are going to do. First, at this time a joint BBQ seems like a joke thus we are postponing it as of now. Those who have registered, your credit cards have not been charged. Second, I am restoring the banned brides account. Third, if ever anyone feels the need to provoke anyone or use obscenities in a way to demean another member on either site their account will be removed. We are all living in a stressful period of time and dealing with the stress of a wedding etc. LIW and LIF was founded for the purpose of people helping one another and building one another up in addition to helping with the wedding process on LIW and the beginning of a new family on LIF. Lets keep to that objective and we will all be successful in all our endeavors. I thank you for your understanding and support.
Well said!
Very well said. Lately people are acting so immature on these boards. STOP THE DRAMA PEOPLE!!! There are members with REAL drama in their lives (ex. Deb G, Ron's son, etc. ) Please take your negative energy and spend the time praying or sending positive thoughts to all of our members in need instead of acting so childish.
Ron, I'm sorry the BBQ won't be happening but you are right to take it away. You are 'the Dad' around here. If all of this happened in my house while growing up my dad would have 'kicked our butts'. He would have been right to and your are right as well.
