Weddingbee boards
sounds like a vent!
I actually haven't experienced or seen what you are talking about. I'd just take it with a grain of salt - and it's nice to have different opinions and perspectives.
Yea, Just very aggravated because I loved being on here and the people on here then someone just joined and starting PMing me having problems with the way I say Thank You and my posts aren't good posts. Then I looked and she is 18 Single and she only posted two things one about saying Thank You too much and once to complain about abbreviations. I was raised on please and thank you's. You should say Thank You when someone gives you good advice, I would think it is Rude otherwise, especially when I was the one to start the post to begin with. I feel like she joined just to pick a fight where it isn't warranted
With that said I have no problem with Single's being on here for future dreaming and planning but for someone to just join and start picking apart the way i post, I'm sorry grow up it isn't her board.
yikes! what a b****!! what is her problem?!
But, I must say, it may not have anything to do with her being single, perse, it could just be HER. hahah
I'm sorry you had to experience that. =(
It sounds more like a problem with one person than a problem with single or unengaged people. We've had/have Bees who don't have rings yet but are still wedding planning, and I think lots of single women are genuinely interested in this process, especially its DIY aspects.
O thats why I said I don't have a problem with single people being on here but its the ones that come on here is have nothing positive to say and criticize other who have been on here for awhile.
Yeah, and I'm really not sure a public poll is the best way to handle it, just as I commented in her thread that I don't think starting "general" threads that are really about specific people is a good idea. I agree it's annoying and I understand the want of community support, but it's perhaps something best handled by a hive hostess or Mr. Bee.
Tennis - I think this is a pretty mean spirited thread to have started.
I think her original post was valid, as you can see from the large number of responses she got.
I thought the "Did you start planning your wedding before you were engaged" question was quite interesting. I would also agree with the above poster who stated that if you are having a problem, you should discuss it with the hive hostesses. We don't really know what is going on between you and this other person, and can't mediate this dispute.
I agree with above post. It sounds more about this person than their marital status. I hope it can be cleared up.
I am 'not married', but I have been in long relationships and just haven't taken that step yet. I think my opinion can be valuable to others, and I am always excited to learn new things. I'd hate to be judged just because I am not engaged.
I would think that single people as well as married/newlyweds all have something to offer in the planning process. Wedding planning incorporates a wide range of talents and skills which don't required "getting married" to have.
People being disrespectful is a different story and should be addressed through the appropraite means, such as a hostess.
I like the poll question, and I'm interested by the variety of answers. I have no problem with single people being on weddingbee because it does have a lot of great DIYs, etc., and even though the intended audience of this blog is engaged/married women, I think anyone is free to stop by. I understand the need to vent, however, but even though you didn't name the individual, it can be discovered, and she might view this as a similar attack to the one she made against you. If she creates further problems, especially if she contacts you directly through PM to harrass you, take it to a hive hostess to resolve the issue. I welcome all single ladies, but single, engaged, whatever, they need to not call out someone individually on the board, especially for something like saying "thank you" when you receive responses.
I think there are plenty of single, unengaged friends or family members of brides who are on here because they are looking for ideas for dresses, DIY programs/ invitations, flower arranging etc. They want to help out their friend who is getting married and I don't have a problem with that. Sometimes they can provide a helpful non-bride perspective on topics like: is it ok to have my guests stand for the ceremony?, is $300 too much for a bridesmaid dress? are honeymoon registeries acceptable these days?
First I want to say that we encourage all people of any marital status to participate on Weddingbee! :-)
It's fine to post a question like this, but because the question is targeted as an attack on another specific user... it's example of the sort of personal attack that we do not allow:

I'm going to close this thread, but leave it up for a while so that it's clear what happened here.

especially since she directly pin pointed me.
I hate it when people get on here and criticize people about what they say or do. When they themselves are single and nowhere near being engaged or married. How can they relate. And what right do they have to be on here if they have nothing good to say or contribute. I have no problem with single people being on here but when they cause tif's without even being on here for a while and putting good contribution then its wrong.
