People who don't think...

Tendency: 3. A predisposition to think, act, behave, or proceed in a particular way

Pretty much sounds like something that'd be a habit.

Just as you said..."its just a dress." Not even your dress, for crying out loud, so why get so bent out of shape about it?

[blas87]

Because Ree is allowed to vent on here as anyone else is, no matter how silly it may seem to you.

It's a habit a lot of people have, it's quite annoying. Not always regarding wedding dresses, but you get the drift.

Edit to add: I don't know exactly why deep down Ree posted it, most likely just to join in on the venting like everyone else, but a lot of times, I feel that this place is a "safe haven" for me to vent about stuff that I can't vent about to anyone in my day to day life. Even if others don't agree with me, it feels good to let it out. And I'm sure others agree with me and post on here because of the same reason.

[Hobbs]

I post on here because, if not, I'd never talk to my friends.

[RavenStarr]

Wouldn't or didn't? I take it from the OP that you see this as a chronic behavior of hers.

Oh, and if you hold no malice, it shouldn't be posted in a forum called "Things I Hate..."

Oh I didn't know we had the *Things I Hate* police. Ree is posting this as a way to vent.

JMO there is only one person being petty here, and it isn't Ree.

To quote Raps

Don't worry - someone will be along to prove you wrong in a short while...

I was a little confused at first. My first thought was that is was the BRIDE who posted the picture of her dress. In which case, it would be silly to condemn the bride for posting a picture of her own dress. But since it wasn't the bride who posted the pictures, than yeah, I can see being a little annoyed.

As far as people who don't think, how about people who don't think before they talk? There are some jokes that are not meant to be told in public places. It's even worse when the offender is TALKING VERY LOUDLY SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR THEM. It's pretty embarrasing to be around those people.

Because I can!

Why do you care?

I assume you're just picking in order to pick because Raps says you can, so I'm venting because I can.

I care about my friend and I want her wedding to be perfect.

Like I said, I could be wrong, but I like to think I know her pretty good, and I was worried that the posting of the picture would be a disappointment, so I was sad for her.

So go ahead and pick.
It really doesn't bother me much.

Have you ever had an annoying piece of gum on the bottom of your shoe, or a booger that you just can't blow out, no matter how hard you try?

Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about this thread.

You just created a visual that's going to take a while to forget

Just as a guiding principle, and not specific to any one person or site, it's generally unwise to try to tell site moderators what they can post and where.

"Or what, they'll sic the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in thier mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you?"

Well, if you are feeling particuarily feisty, you could keep questioning moderators and see how much you piss them off and see what becomes of it.

I think I've found that out already, thanks.

[Ree]

Just to clarify, I didn't post this as a moderator.
I posted as a member.

I would never abuse my role as a moderator to get back at someone who was attempting to debate my thread.

[Hobbs]

Thanks. I'm glad to hear you say that Ree...though it appears some members would disagree with you.

[blas87]

I don't think Ree (or any of the other mods for that matter) abuse their power, nor did I ever insinuate Ree would "Get back at you" for questioning the point of her thread.
