sig lines (child ment) - Page 3

OMG, is she serious!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

This reminded me of the "if we were paralyzed instead of infertile" list
that came out awhile back.

Unbelievable that this little miracle-bragging brat just said to me - "I
don't know why you are being so selfish! You should at least be happy that I
can walk!" "I just ran a marathon and won. Let me tell you about it and
show you my medal and tell you how everyone is doting on me."

And don't even get me started on the "don't give up hope" speech.

Freakin' unbelievable! no wonder we can't get the fertile world to 'get' it
when successful infertiles are this insensitive. She should know better.

Geez, I am completely shocked that this is going on over here. I do think
that far too many infertiles who become parents tend to forget how they felt
when they were ttc. Whether or not it is OK per the FAQ seems a moot point
to me. The fact that it hurts someone else would lead me to think that
anyone with a shred of common courtesy would decide that they could leave
the sig off. Hurting other people intentionally just because you can and
then citing that the newsgroups are for support? Seems a bit bass-ackwards
to me.

"Yet" being the operative word. As your journey goes on and on you
will find that the grief of your loss - the loss of the child you will
most likely never have - becomes more and more painful. I hope you
never get to that point.

When it is in an infertility newsgroup and people specifically ask you
not to, it is just plain common courtesy to refrain from doing so.
Sig lines have always been a point of contention in these newsgroups.

As am I, but that doesn't mean that them mentioning their children
*just because they can* is a kind thing to do, especially when they
have been asked not to.

People who have suffered infertility for a long, long time often times
do avoid children. If you have not experienced those feelings,
consider yourself very, very lucky. But that's not the point. The
point is, many people in the group requested that she not use the sig
line, yet she refuses. That speaks volumes about the kind of person
she is, and how much she cares about others in the newsgroup.

Proposal for a FAQ change, anyone? Or has this been, so far, an
isolated incident?

I don't think we need to change the FAQs.
Megan is not worth it.
Besides, she said she was leaving anyways.

So, Michelle, what WERE you referring to?

I'm woman enough to not bring other problems over here. I'll keep quiet.
Obviously some people don't feel the same. As of now, I will not post on
this group anymore. Enjoy!

Thanks for the support you gave me the other day Carola.

Translation: "But that's not how *I* feel, so why would anybody else
feel that way, and more importantly, why would I give a rat's ass
about them?"

Don't bother, Megan. If you're too stupid to understand simple human
compassion by now, and all evidence suggests you are, then you're
*never* going to get it.

Tracy

Chicken! You obviously aren't woman enough to say what you were referring
to.
So you'll keep quiet. Why don't you have the guts to admit what I was
talking about?
Gossip, gossip, gossip indeed!

Listen, I don't have to explain myself here. Keep in mind, you were the one
emailing me privately last week SUPPORTING me...when someone else was cruel.
Now, here, you want to start something. I did *nothing* to you. And you
know what? I'm not apologizing for something that I did not do. If you
think you know what is going on....maybe you need to ask yourself a few
questions.
