>Hey, where in FL are you?
I am from Pensacola / Gulf Breeze. After UF for undergrad, I moved to Atlanta and then Birmingham. I settled down in B'ham. I miss the water and the heat strokes, but I found a nice Alabama girl who makes it all worth it.
Are you in Florida?

I am in Orlando. I'm a transplant from Boston. My BF lives in Mountain brook though, so I go to B-ham quite often!

This is what I can gather:
There was a post about J&K. I didn’t read it. It could have been about how much Kate loves her Whirlpool appliances that she totally did not get for free and where we can purchase said appliances. It could have been about what an inspiration John and/or Kate are to all of us. It could have been about what happened to Kate’s hair and how we can help. We don’t know, because it is gone.
There was a second post asking if the original post was deleted. In that post, someone said it would be boring if every post on the forum that was not about bottles or yeast infections was pulled. Another person (or persons) disagreed, saying it wasn’t nice to discuss J&K’s personal life. I posted on that second post stating that I thought the J&K “goings on” was helpful to parents of multiples because (maybe it is just me) everyone asks if we watch J&K Plus Eight when they discover we have multiples, and that talk of J&K helps divert attention from uncomfortable or annoying questions about ourselves. I believe this post was also pulled because it is gone – or I can’t find it. I didn’t see any posts after the one I made, so I don’t know if discussing J&K is: 1) nice; or 2) helpful or related to issues of parents of multiples. This issue may or may not have been resolved.
Now, I don’t know if J&K is like Fight Club, where the first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about Fight Club (which, incidentally, is also the second rule), or if there was something offensive contained in those posts causing them to be pulled notwithstanding the subject matter of J&K. It took me a while to learn that a DH was not a designated hitter. Now I am all confused about whether or not I can discuss America’s favorite family of multiples, the Gosselins.

Hmmmmm, to me........it's helpful.
The way I see it it's entertainment for this SAHM who doesn't get out much.
I don't see the big deal in it honestly. (Serious to those thinking I'm being a smarta**) I mean it's in all the magazines, all over the web and even on CNN! Yep, it was on CNN the other night. Besides their not the only family I'd love to chat about. For instance Table for 12. I LOVE that family and I'm amazed with everything they do. Now would a post about them get pulled? Doubt it. Just because some of us on here doesn't agree with the Gosselins and how they've done stuff it shouldn't get banned. .
And anyways, posts about Octomom didn't get pulled and it was ALL negative.
Now explain that one to me.

LOL Gary! That pretty much sums it up! My favorite part was the part about the first (and second) rule of Fight Club. LOL!

I am sorry but I have to address this whole post-pulling issue on several levels...
Fisrt: "It could have been about what happened to Kate’s hair and how we can help."
~ HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! LMFAO! Do you think that b/c I find her hair so appauling that my opinion on it will get this post pulled? Time will tell...
Second: "someone said it would be boring if every post on the forum that was not about bottles or yeast infections was pulled"
~ That was me, and while I didn't specify "bottles and yeast infections", those are excellent examples. I also mentioned that I am active at another forum (which may or may not be a crime, when you're affiliated with TC?) and enjoy the socialization and current event info I get over there b/c this one seems to be more about teaching/learning and gaining/giving advice than making friends and having opinions. All true, IMO. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just the way it is. So how can the truth be deleted???
Third: "Another person (or persons) disagreed, saying it wasn’t nice to discuss J&K’s personal life."
~ Whether or not it's nice to discuss J&K, they are in the public eye, and apparently Kate LOVES it, so they have to deal with the ramifications of being so. Period. I would think Kate loves people talking about her, seeing as how she's still such a fame tart. People talk about me and I am a loser in southern NH who hangs out at home all day and I don't give a rat's A. It is what it is; people talk, this is human nature, and again we come back to the anti-social nature of said forum.
Fourth: "so I don’t know if discussing J&K is: 1) nice; or 2) helpful or related to issues of parents of multiples. This issue may or may not have been resolved."
~ Is it either? Neither? Does it matter?!?!? Are we not allowed to discuss things not related to nipples and cloth diapers and birthday parties in a public outlet? Are these topics that are meant to be in PMs only? Seriously?!? Again, it would be biased, discriminatory, and completely anti-social to think any of us had to do so.
Lastly: "Now, I don’t know if J&K is like Fight Club, where the first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about Fight Club (which, incidentally, is also the second rule)"
~ LMFAO

This is a good question. I guess they are deleting all negative comments. That's why nothing Feisty writes lasts longer than 12 hours before it gets deleted. I do understand why her posts get deleted. I mean, we all attack her like fresh meat. But IMO, she is asking for it. The stuff about J&K is rediculous. We should be able to write whatever, even if is negative. I understand that some people on here get nasty and therfore cause the post to get pulled. But, I think we are entering into dangerous territory and sensoring us doesn't seem the right approach. I do agree with the moderator who said that people who continue to be vicous will be banned from the site. If you look at the top post on the main board it talks about threads getting pulled. You should check it out.

I think the reason why some of the posts get pulled is because one of the moderators is friends with them. OOPS, will this get pulled now because a moderator is showing favoratism.
I read all the things on J&K but half the time I don't respond. Whatever they want to do is fine by me. If they get free vacations, appliances, etc GOOD FOR THEM!! I wish I could get a free vacation. Sign me up, what do I have to do?!??!
This is my edit: Wanted to add that one of the sightings of John out and about was in Huntington PA. For anyone who lives there (or doesn't), there is NOTHING there but Juniata College. I went there and there was NOTHING to do in the town. Any fun was had at Penn State, a short drive away.

Suzan, I'm so laughing about your take on Juniata College. They kept sending me stuff when I was in high school and I went on a campus visit. It DID seem boring to me. Guess where I ended up? Penn State. Lots more fun there.
