For brides in the "greater" Boston area who'd like to get together, meet new people, share ideas, and not feel guilty about talking inecessently about our weddings to our friends!
What are your pet peeves on Boston.Com? Sometimes I just sit there and laugh at how judgemental people can be. I am no saint and I have judged others before... But I don't attack ppl online. I don't know. Maybe I am just getting tired of "drama" that really isn't real... Thoughts?

There are just all of these people out there who are a) miserable, b) don't understand that there is no facial expression/tone available on the computer screen to tell us when you're "joking", or c) a big combination of both. Then the etiquette old-timers. It just kills me. I swear, there are like 14 clones of my grandmother out there posting bitchy bitch comments! Has somebody written a politeness book? Because I swear, 90% of the people who mention Emily Post need the Emily Post of politeness, whoever he or she may be!
I think many of them are not brides-to-be who are looking for advice from other people in their same situation but are in fact, people with nothing else better to do. Months ago I started a discussion about something in my life that was upsetting me but I stopped reading the responces because they were attacking me for having those feelings. That is why I know have this outlet:)
Ah, boston.com. Yes, you're not allowed to have a difference of opinion on that site. ;-) I'm always being called some sort of name for having a different thought than someone else. LOL. It really has gotten old. I like this site much better.
I think most people want to be helpful, but I totally agree that it goes from civil to rude very fast, especially over the last week or so. I think the problem with a public site like Boston.com is your going to get a wide range of opinions, and people aren't necessarily tolerant of other people's opinions. People feel the way they do things is the only way out there, and g-d forbid anyone disagree.
The debate I find most amusing is the one over how much people spend on their weddings. The attacks for spending more than someone else is ridiculous, and the competition to spend the least is really humorous.
Also, what's up with all of the "funny" postings where people just want to get a rise out of everyone?
