oh goody, everyone's friends again.
It was a good thread, Orm - we need more like it to lighten the atmosphere occasionally!

I was enjoying it immensely until it all went a bit tired and emotional.

I find it quite flattering that my innocent little thread caused such a ruckus! It was meant to be funny. Honest!

I thought it was funny...particularly the bit when Rollergirl got in a tiz and i ran away like a big wuss

i kept thinking 'calm down dear, it's only a Mumsnet thread', but i thought that would only serve to wind people up

Not that i'm averse to a bit of a wind up

Rollergirl yes, of course. I respect anyone with the maturity to apologise . Sorry that sounds a bit patronising, but you know what I mean

wallace - I quite agree with you. I sometimes the MN mantra is diametrically opposite though

Twas all a bit wierd . And most of the weirdery happened when I wasn't even here! But never mind. Let's all hold hands and sing happy songs <big jolly slightly strained smile>.

Orm - I have a mantra "Just because someone does something differently to the way I do it, doesn't mean they are wrong..."

no, I'm 33 weeks pregnant so have only hormones to blame for my daft attack...

Gently: Heh. Had the jesus juice got your tongue too on fri night then?

Screamingabdab: Am i included in the friend remark? tentative

Hi, been away for the weekend. Glad we're are all friends.

Gently yes, "poostripe" has a simple elegance to it.

Gah, wrong thread.
Sorry Orm ...

Oh, and when I was seven:

'Red Lentil has a very large vocabulary.'

One which lacked the word 'vocabulary' though. My mum wasn't too sure about it either ...

Just wanted to clarify that I very rarely cross swords with anyone on here (and am still quite new to it all).

However, when I do, I am usually a bit more constructive than "Judgey judge pooey poostripe shitepants" or whatever it was.

I usually just leave it at "poostripe."

no Rollergirl, the looking for an excuse to be belligerent! That was pretty clear.

lol rollergirl...if i'd read a post on here saying something like this..

"i cant type anymore i'm crying so much..i'm so broken....it's such hard work being a troll... you just don't understand me...i'm 100% right all the time, an you're 100% wrong....fact!".......i'd think someone was taking about me...

but i'd laugh it off...

enjoy mumsnet rollergirl.

Thumbwitch: What, the drunken posting?

DaftPunk: It has been a tad tenuous,yes. But only to be expected. I'm my own worst enemy when I've had a few so probably wholly deserved.

sorry for my typos too

have you had a bad start?...sorry or questions...i just haven't seen your name before..

Newish.

now THAT I got, Rollergirl.

are you new?

Daft Punk: In all honesty think I was just using the thread as an excuse to be belligerent.

Rollergirl....don't think this is about anyone in particular...just the aibu section.....learn to take a joke.

Et tu katisha?

Thanks random. At least someone likes me <sniff>

I wasn't...

Was joking about the troll thing sorry

rollergirl - I am glad I didn't see this last night or I'd have been drawn in to drunken post jousting! It really was a joke.

Thanks for standing up for my reputation every one else. I am moved

random I am not a troll. I don't have hairy feet or warts. Yet.

Drunken posting is one of the joys of mumsnet!

Hmmm, re-reading this morning I can safely admit that a little too much wine was had. I was clearly spoiling for a fight.

Sooorry

Gosh, was Rollergirl's thread meant to be funny? I guess I'm not the only one who didn't get that then!

I agree nooka - nametaken's comment won the "best post" award on that thread!

Thanks noonka

And the knitted willy warmer too

And having checked out the other thread I have reduced that rollergirl is clearly off her trolley on the basic insight front. However nametakens "were you looking for Cunts-R-Us" post was very funny.

No no you are quite wrong. Rollergirl is apparently upset that Orm's joke was immediately got whereas her "funny" thread was not seen that way.

This is apparently because all of MN is cruel and heartless. Pity really because I was enjoying the silliness of this thread.

Just to add, that I (and lots of others), took this (Orm's), thread to be a PARODY of a typical AIBU.

OK

Right, can I just get this straight

OrmIrian posts an amusing tongue-in cheek post, and everyone including me, piles in with mock abuse

Rollergirl, previously, posts a mock-post in AIBU, about a sensitive subjsect, meaning it to be funny, but nobody else gets the joke, and piles in on her.

I don't know what happened in Rollergirl's thread (whether she owned up that it was a joke in the end, or not)

Rollergirl feels very upset about it, and bitter

She thinks that exactly the same thing is happening to OrmIrian, as happened to her

I that right ?

Please someone tell me if that is right ? Thanks

I honestly wouldn't have remembered that was you if you'd not brought it up again - I've a goldfish memory, admittedly, but... maybe that's the key? The moving on and not smarting over it/raising it?

I've done it already. It's time to get over with it. Have fun with the thread. xxxx

Might be a long wait, if you genuinely can't see the difference between poking fun at online arguments on the one hand (what AIBU is specifically for) and real life marital breakdown on the other.

Your attempt at wit misfired badly; MN admires sharp-tongued harpies, not heartless ones. Why not accept you screwed up/misread people's senses of humour, and either apologise and move on or namechange?

And apparently....

Oh i can't be bothered. Just waiting for you to realise that you're no better than me....

Lol

???
And?

Btw my DH works for News International and apparently their list of inspirational women is the person who started Mumsnet

No its ok to express..wine helps em sleep

It's always time for a glass of wine. (Is it very wrong to express for ds and drink at the same time? Or is that one for AIBU?)

thumbwitch: i really can't see it. Ho Hum. Am i still the evil death troll from hell? The judging on this site is fucking hilarious. Come on. You are intelligent people. Show it.

sorry, sorry - i'm getting confused now too!
must be time for a glass of wine...

Was a jokey troll ...sorry too much vodka

who are you asking about, random, Orm? Orm's not a real troll. She's started a tongue-in-cheek jokey thread that has been taken amiss by a couple of people.

very very ancient joke...

but then I am very very ancient

Troll?

lol - good one!

Because the adder adder 'ankerchief...

go on Katisha, why?

Rollergirl, there is such a difference between expressing fucking boredom with other people's relationships collapsing, and this, that if you can't see it then you really are in trouble.

You were nasty. You were called on it. Obviously you are still bitter. Perhaps you should stfu and get over it, like you think all those dumped women who bore you so much should.

I didn't take the piss. I just expressed boredom. There's a difference.

This wasn't a peculiar post. You just decided to close ranks. Because you can. Well done you. I hope that makes you feel warm inside.

Why did the viper viper nose?

standard nest of vipers stuff isn't it?
<<love the fact that vipers and vituperative are such similar words...>>

Yes, because taking the piss out of people who post peculiar things in aibu is exactly the same as taking the piss out of people whose entire relationships have just imploded.

Whether it started off as a joke (still meant to be an in-joke amongst the ones that get it) is beside the point. You are still being totally judgemental about other posters. That is what i did when i posted the "bored by my husband left me" post. I was the scum of the earth then. But apparently it's okay to post a thread along the lines of "i'm so thick that i can't understand whether i should post in AIBU?"

Oh-kay then.

you lot are just too vituperative for words

<wishes she didn't have to go to bed because in fact she was under the impression that Mumsnet was supposed to be a happy place where elves and pixes lived and there wasn't a gang at all>

Going to bed now.

Sorry if I have inadvertently offended anyone.

BTW, I am not in any gang, I just like to have a laugh and come and give people some advice from time to time.

Rollergirl This whole thread is a joke, and I believe Orm Irian started it to be a joke and knows it is one.

It's all pretend vitriol, pretend bitchyness.

If you know any of my other posts, then you'd know that I would/have never told anyone to f off on MN

Orm, admit it, you're really a hairy-arsed trucker called Dave and always have been.

shiraz, my arse - more likely a can of Stella!

screaming: Don't include me in this, i'm not part of your gang. I don't know. Are you?

I have been on the receiving end of the mumsnet vitriol. For exactly the same premise that this post is about. Not caring, being flippant and acting superior. How come it's okay for you and wasn't for me? I acknowledge that the subject matter is different but you lot are just being bitches and that's the whole point of this thread, to snide. You can't dress it up any other way.

I hope you are open to the same amount of resentment as I was.

Godzilla Thanks for your reply. That's why I'm confused.

I'm a newbie compared to OrmIrian. And I didn't know about any other thread.

You know we were all joking, don't you OrmIrian?

It's a whole post-ironic spiral of irony

<goes to bed>

I ain't never been in ''the gang'' ...pmsl

Screaming, hopefully rollergirl is joking because the way it looks on the other thread the OP has been accepted into The Gang, so t'would be quite ironically ironic. If that even makes sense. Which i'm sure it doesn't!

Rollergirl we're all still joking, aren't we ?

<very confused>

Iz it coz u iz a troll?

Thank God.

I can identify with the paranoia. I live in fear of someone from RL discovering me, as I am such a blabbermouth on here

Yeah great. You rip a new poster to shreds cos she posts a showy "look at how funny I am" thread to try and impress.

And then all you "regs" post a "You're not joining our gang and this is why" thread.

The irony.

Aha! That's OK

Someone on here said they knew my in RL recently. But I didn't know who they were. Maybe a bit paranoid now.

I remember the thread now

Oh God, you don't remember - now I feel shit - the very amusing thread (I believe you were the OP), about our Quaint Children

I'm not stalking you, woman!

Do you know me?

Feeling paranoid now.

<thinks very hard about that question>

<Gives up>

Eh?

If you can't take the heat get out of the AIBU kitchen.

How your little QC Orm / - any trips to the science museum lately ?

<<oooh motun moyna, my sister used to live a few doors down,practically sold her soul to them she did for their coconut rice>>

YA still BU though

not sure why, but YA

Sadly only Morrisons peachy On a minor economy drive atm. But normally it would be Notun Moyna in St John's Street.

trip trap

'and digesting my chicken jalfarezi and sipping some rather nice Shiraz'

oooh which takeaway?

<<envy>>

Good point broguesmum. <sniffs firmly and stiffens lip>

don't cry! you will get snot in the wine...

Trolly tears???

Oh right. Yes I see. Tears of a troll... Doo doo doo de de doo doo doo doo.

Trolly tears...

Oh hecate! You understand <sobs some more with relief and joy>

oh yes. if someone does things differently to you they are in fact criticising you for the way you do it. Actually, the only reason they do it their way is to subtly tell you that you're shit.

What's more, anyone who has a different opinion to (from? than?) you, only does so because they don't understand your pov and if you repeat it over and over, and call them stupid / ridiculous, they will see the light and agree with you.

Oh, and if all else fails - call them disingenuous. They won't know what it means, you don't know what it means, but it will make you the Winner.

Come on Orm, it's a fair cop.

Admit it - you have been a troll for years now haven't you!

Troll! Trohhhll? OMG! How can I be a troll. I remember mouldiegate, the GF thing, the bum sex threads... everything. I am a broken woman <sobs and oozes distraught snot>

Are you my MIL?

screamingabdab! That post was too much! I am sobbing into my laptop here.....

..and digesting my chicken jalfarezi and sipping some rather nice Shiraz.

Trolls all of you

There, no-one can beat that, can they?

I win the debate, and am therefore the best mother in history.

< rises above it >

I see the OP has disappeared. TROLL methinks ?



Or possibly having dinner

<calls screamingabdab a JudgeMENTAL judge shitey poostripe shit>

Bunch of jumped-up nobodies the whole shower of them.

Ackchewly, it's JudgeMENTAL, what's all this "judgey" shit ?

Not only are they shit, but they are probably judging you for doing things slightly differently, which makes them judgey shit.

I expect someone will now judge my spelling of "judgey", but if they do it only makes them judgey judge shitey shits.

Oh and YANBU, but only if the person concerned is a man.

Orm You come on here... all needy needy needy ... agree with me, agree with me ....

F orf

Well I'm sorry but you don't know what kind of a day/life/culture/whaddever the people you are judging have had so YAdefBU.

People who ain't like me though - TABU!

sorry mia but this post is clearly all about ME!

I am always right ...fact

YABU

I however ambu (am never being unreasonable)

And wahts mroe missus I know where you live (or where you did 5 years ago anyway PMSL)

YABU, let me just tell you this very long winded, very personal story that only applies to me and has some very small link to what you have posted about, but makes me think you are wrong.....

you are all being judgemental, none of you have done any research and where is the link to prove you are right? Exactly!

What Would You Do never really caught on, did it?

I've just reported all of you to MN towers.

You are all shit, only I do things the right way. If you would all just admit that then we wouldn't need to have AIBU.

I also reserve the right to throw my toys out of the pram if you don't agree with me.

You're all wrong - mine is the only opinion that matters (even if it's badly researched or loosely based on a non-factual piece of information that DH has come out with)

So there <passive aggressive >

They should definitely change the entire section's name to: I am definitely not being unreasonable and I don't care what anyone says.

Bit long, maybe.

No I am fairly sure I am not being unreasonable. But I want my prejudices confirmed please.

If a thread is in AIBU you can be sure that the OP has no doubt that they are not being unreasonable.

And if a thread is in AIBU then obviously the OP has agreed to a verbal kicking by just starting a thread.

Well precisely UQD! If you hadn't thought that you would of course have been shit!

trillian - you are just plain wrong. Sorry.

Approximately 456 threads can be boiled down to this one.

YABU, because I do things differently to you and I am great. You are the one who does it wrong.

I just can't understand why everyone doesn't do it my way. Afterall I am right.

Of course they're shit, but are you judging?

Not only are they shit, but obviously freaks too.

Absolutely, If anyone does things differently from me I report them to Social Services.

YANBU. In fact, I think I am the only person that is not 'shit'. Everyone else is 'shit'. Especially other mothers.

is in fact shit?

Well? Am I?
