    I don't read her. I don't need smug judgemental bullshit from invisapeeps.

    (that said, I'm guessing she needs to get herself laid just a little bit more often :lol: )

    i'm normally not a regular reader, but she was quoted on gothamist so i clicked over there.

    Yeah, this has been gone over, but she definitely falls into the category of, "Who reads this shit?" I don't think I've ever heard anybody but her editor profess other than distaste or indifference, but maybe there's some silent Smartmom majority or something. A chilling thought.

    If you don't like her... don't read her.

    considering how ubiquitous she's become, a person actually has to make an effort not to come across her words

    Duh. See this is an online forum where people share their opinions about things in the neighborhood. Some of the posters above have had the misfortune to read Smartmom, and are warning others not to waste their time.

    She is just ooooh sooo precious and she seems to always state the obvious in her oh so adorable way. But Really? Having an extramarital affair is not great for a marriage? Get outta here! Thank god for her wisdom.

    Right, apparently the thrill wears off and the sex gets boring after a while . . .just like your marriage. So you might as well not cheat. Now that's romantic . . .

    Oh, and if you do cheat, make damn sure not to tell Smartmom about it or you will find yourself featured as yet another character with an annoying made-up name in her columns.

    I am sure that some "guests" like her, but no...that's why the word is in quotes.

    i'm wondering if the "guests" are actually smartmom herself

    No man on the planet wants to have an affair with a woman nicknamed Tofutta. Not even in Park Slope.

    I was seeing her sister Patoula for a spell, though.

    I'm surprised she doesn't write anonymously...I would never want my name and photo attached to that swill. Ugh

    It's weird, because her blog (Only The Blog Knows Brooklyn) isn't bad... except for the annoying Smartmom posts.


    I still think the Dumbwhore spoof was hilarious.

    I actually don't particularly like her either, but my life is not so shallow or lonely that I need to need to beat up the woman because of it. I think we need to bring back Karma Ratings. Flexi - I think you were down to a negative 30 before they got taken down. Now I see why.

    Nice new picture by the way...

    Damn! Posting under Guest is so liberating! I'm going to do this more often. Can anyone guess my registered identity?

    Hi Guest.

    I probably should only contact you privately, but seeing as you are being so "public" about your sock puppeting, I'll respond publicly too. Yes we can see who you are.

    There actually is nothing in the forum rules that expressly forbids this, but as you are using it as a masquerade to taunt other users, I think it is bad form and not at all in the spirit of the boards creator, DH.

    I'd never read smartmom before, until that posting. She isn't real, is she? I mean it's like she's a character that's an embodiment of everything that is awful about "Smug Marrieds" and the double-wide stroller set.

    Now I can see the point of not eviscerating people on boards, and general decorum, but the eggshells politeness that crops up here kinda makes me giggle a bit. I mean, on another thread, someone disagreed with me and apologized for mentioning that my opinion was what she had disagreed with and stressed that she wasn't "attacking" me. I mean, geez, I'm a big girl, if I can't take disagreement or criticism, that is my loss, and I extend that expectation to the on- and off- line worlds. Disagreements and expressions of them and discussing our feelings about other people are all part of being human. It's nothing to do with my shallow life. Life ain't Quaker summer camp, you know?

    I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy now.

    Thanks, Guest (whomever you may be :roll: ). I see you don't take issue with anybody ELSE putting down SmartMom. I guess your love is saved for me. Again, thanks for the warm and fuzzies. Feel free to tell me more when you feel like wearing your "real clothes".

    (and as a side note, if Karma ratings came back with better controls so they couldn't be manipulated, I'd be all for them)

    Assuming she's for real, I think anyone who adopts a smug moniker like Smartmom and uses a precious third-person schtick is practically begging for derision.

    I think people should be nice to each other, generally, but if you write for publication, people get to criticize your work.

    And I really hope she changed some identifying details in addition to giving everyone an inane nickname. Otherwise "that cute freelance writer with the lonely, bedroom eyes who picks up his third-grader at PS 321 every day" is probably having a rough week.

    Don't worry too much - I'm willing to bet it was a fabrication.

    Agreed, but people should maintain a decent level of discourse, particularly when discussing their neighbors, among which I count Smartmom and some of you myself. Some of the comments in this and the previous smartmom thread went beyond common snark or criticism. Nasty and catty come to mind.

    Um, no. That's Armchair Warrior!

    I think nasty and catty is writing a blog about your supposed friends' private sex lives.
