How can you make a claim like that? It's the internet; you usually can't know for sure. And I know you two weren't originally talking about SDN, but on SDN you'll almost never be certain that you've distinguished between someone asking a noob question about DOs or making facepalm-worthy comments about their undergrad major being Anesthesiology and someone who is a forum regular, with a new account and using a free IP proxy, asking a noob question with which they know everyone will be annoyed or making facepalm-worthy comments about how the Theory of Evolution is "just a theory." I mean, yeah, some people out there really are that stupid and inflammatory. Like my mother or 40% of America, for instance. You don't expect to encounter it as much on a premed forum, but it happens. So one is forced, if one aspires to run a fair forum that isn't full of mods who are accused of going on power trips and banning people who didn't deserve it, to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. But some of those people really were trolls, and won't get banned until after they've already trolled ten more times.
Moral of the story: the internet sucks and trolls will always win.
P.S. GC, plz post some anonymous examples of involuntary mommy-trolls for our amusement👍
What can I say; I'm an optimist!

You're my new fave for phrasing it like that
meh doesn't seem TOO terrible.. maybe my mom-code translator is all offWith pleasure. This is from the attachment parenting board, where moms that wear their kids 24/7 and nurse until the kid is 3 like to hang out. They are incredibly sanctimonious. Why she doesn't have a lot of mommy friends isn't really much of a mystery, IMO.
I was at the mall today and saw something that made me a little sad. Well, I think maybe it just caught me off guard 'cause it was so foreign to me (as I don't have a lot of mommy friends IRL & the few I do have parent the way I do).
Anywho, I walked past a lady in the mall as she reclined her baby's stroller, arranged a blanket on the baby's chest, propped a bottle on the blanket to feed the baby, then sat down to do something else.
I know that what she did is not uncommon for people to do, nor is it neglectful. In fact, it may not be something that the lady frequently does. Maybe she really had to multi-task. (I certainly nurse and surf the net.) I just have to admit that I was shocked and a little sad when I saw it. Considering that I've never even SEEN my DD drink from a bottle, I guess the idea of me propping up a bottle and not actively feeding DD is naturally a foreign concept for me. I just thought about whether people actually "bottle nurse," about the possibility of overfeeding and about how mom & babe were missing out on some cuddles. I hope that's not judgy.

i dunno, i think i was hoping for an anti-vaccine mom, so this seemed nice in comparison

word. why would they want heavy traffic on their website, it's not like it drives ad revenue... 😕
Ouch, sounds painful. On the bright side, I imagine that's a lesson you should only have to learn once.
And perpetuating misinformation is anathema to me anyways. I guess I won't. (or will I? muahaha)
hahaha!
I am really tempted to go troll that forum now. I could even create a pregnant character for myself with an elaborate backstory, questionable scientific education, and many personality flaws which would remain consistent throughout my posts.
Sadly, instead I have to finish something really fast so I can run home and check my mailbox. nerrrrrvous

we need to join forces.
heavy envelope might be heavy, slowing him downYou are a natural at this
THE MAILMAN IS SUPER LATE! Why can't he see that I'm dying over hereeeeee...
He probably saw the huge envelope and decided to stop by the market and get you a congratulatory balloon bouquet.You are a natural at this

btw do you guys want to know why today's mail wasn't there? My mom collected it on her way out of the house and carried it around with her to all her errands and then carried it back in the house when she was finished hours later. Instead of just waiting to collect it until she was done with everything. I almost had a nervous breakdown and all she said was "oopsies" hahaha...
Did the munchkins you coach invoke the wrath of Cliff?
they really did it to themselves. they missed their free throws at the end of practice, and basically if they make them we just run a little, but if they miss them we run a lot. well, they didnt make them.
Painful and annoying and lasts way longer than you think it would,
