Lol I kinda like that people are brutally honest or even outright rude/aggressive on this forum. It makes it very fun to read.

I would still say like 90% of people here are actually respectful and normal, it's the crazy 10% of posts that get the attention and outrage.

Welcome to DC, I suppose...originally from California so this is interesting to see the pulse here.

Also, not sure who deleted the thread, didn't know that was possible.

It's Jeff's forum, he can delete threads. OP how long ago did you move here?


Who is Jeff? I've actually been here since 2011 but kept to myself for most of the time as I've been busy with school, stayed around family members and live a very low key life. When my kids were small, I might see and/or chat with a mom or two on the playground every other day but that's about it. Maybe the forum convos attract a self-selecting group


Do you know “Jeff” or simply by name from this site?

If your from California, you will fit in just fine here. Just as liberal and elitist


That's a big assumption as California is very diverse - all Californians aren't liberal and elitist

I'm sorry it was so offensive that you had to report it and have it deleted, LOL!

Are you new here? This forum has been like this for a long time. Anonymity makes people brutally honest.

New here - I usually use Reddit for general anonymous forums, Fishbowl and/or Blind for work related forums. Decided to venture over to DCUM to preview forums for new moms. Is the running culture here polite/friendly/open-minded or something else? Has the culture shifted recently due to COVID19 aggravation? Just wondering because people in anonymous forums are usually friendlier, more respectful. Just trying to understand what makes this forum different. Thanks.
