Honestly, I am just so impressed at how well we are all playing together here since we made the transition.. It's almost scary.
So, how long til we have our very first super, rip roarin, she said-she said, hissy fit of a major hair pullin thread??
Has the changing of boards made you reconsider how you present yourself or are you looking forward to getting into it?
Actually, I am enjoying the absence of so much vitriol. I don't at all mind a lively discussion but when it comes to the name calling it makes me uncomfortable.
Now ladies...shall we proceed?

I think some people who were really not nice to other people on the other board might have taken this opportunity to change their names and start fresh. It must be exhausting to think of ways to put other people down all the time and act like you know everything. Or maybe they just didn't find us yet.

I'd try to throw one right here and now for you, but I'm really too tired to work up enough pea-lividness to do the job right.

I tend to ignore any potential controversial threads and scroll on by. I haven't seen the "usual suspects" flip out. Maybe the name callers have stuck to the smack blogs. It's nice.

This place has a different air about it than the other board. The tension on the other board was so tight you could sometimes cut it with a knife. It is no wonder that so much drama went on. Here we all seem to be more relaxed and don't have to worry about TPTB.

I'm waiting for "more people like MY post than yours so I must be right". It will be the new "pulling the peamail card".

I'm thinking in general the major bitches haven't made it here. I like good debate, but it's nice to be able to have conversations without someone coming along and bringing everyone down just because they're miserable.

Oh I am sure there is a hissy fit brewing in some thread...lol. But I agree with others. I don't think some of the more vocal ones have made it over here yet.

We shrunk from a HUGE community with a reputation to a smaller group who just wanna keep a good thing going. I think we'll keep it civil, unless someone comes back and starts again. I think we're doing alright

I think there have been a couple of raised voices, in the political and missing aircraft threads. I have seen one pea pour scorn in most of her posts, but she has gone quiet. I'm guessing the suggestion about new identities and fresh starts is spot on. Also, the Fairy Podmother is far more hands on here than the idiots over at the old pod were. I think that will make a difference. Nots that she is heavy handed or scary, but is present. That wlil make a difference.

I am far from able to claim I have read all the posts. Yesterday I read what I thought was the closest to strongly expressed views in a thread which was what we would have called a PVM. I noticed the "feel" because it has been largely absent.

I think we're doing alright Yes, but the HUGE community actually became a comparatively small group of active members with a reputation compared to numbers registered there - and with a lot of mainly 'lurkers' who felt they dare not post and weren't encourage to!! This doesn't have the same unfriendly exclusive feel and hopefully as time goes on, everyone registered here will join in! My opinion anyway.

It's a much more relaxed feel to it I agree. I also feel that more international peas are being more involved too. Not a clue if the two are related.

I wonder if there is a new forum out there called " mean girls cave". I`m sure not going looking for it though `cos I`m a sissy. I like the peacefull life.

Actually, I kind of enjoyed the hissy fits and hair flips. One of the reasons I liked 2peas was that it wasn't heavily (or at all) moderated so anything could happen.
That being said, I hate meanness just for the sake of meanness, and that seemed to happen with certain posters back at the old board.

Sometimes I felt Yubon said what a lot of us were thinking but she went about it in the wrong way. I also think that it's ok to disagree with a poster here...it's the delivery that I think is different with this new board.

Those hissy fits and hair flips made for some interesting reading, I kind of miss them.
It's only been a month, give it time. A good controversy or PVM (were almost no one does) is bound to show up.

I've seen a few strongly worded, not backing down posts here so far, but not mean about it.

there have been some jaw droppingly anti Semitic and anti woman posts in the past few days that made me want to go all mean girl but the tone of this board is so much different from twopeas that i just backed out and took a breath
