Can we be allowed to post 'oh do fuck off' in certain circumstances. Like when people post 'is that really all you have to worry about?'

Could we not have one each. Like a waiver.

Please.

Yep, been decorating the basement, and the hall/stairs/landings. I am inordinately proud of the basement floor wot I laid myself. Going to do the sitting room next.

Oooh, nice try Stratters!

You okay? ::head tilt:: Haven't seen you around.

SarahStratton · 12/02/2013 19:09

See, that's what I said!
I said "don't put it on here because they'll know"
no one ever listens to me.

(okay, i actually put "shhh, rusty they'll be onto you")

Because no one reported the 'cunt' I would imagine, Orf.

I think the deletion is worth it sometimes to call a cunt a cunt.

GetOrf · 12/02/2013 14:00

How did you manage not to be deleted for calling someone a cunt when I got busted for calling some disingenuous and shit-for-brains (two different occasions).

BerthaTheBogCleaner · 12/02/2013 13:56

Why can't we odd-fodd? That's not actually an attack is it?

Am I not allowed to say "oh do run along now dearie?" or "don't you have something you should be doing?"

Because that's the same meaning, with less swearing. And its not so far from "don't you have anything else to worry about", either.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 12/02/2013 13:40

Have we had "You sound nice" yet? That always winds me up.

greencolorpack · 12/02/2013 13:33

I find people posting "Charming!" (sarcastic face icon) quite pass agg. And one for the list of things people should be allowed to swear about. If I did think we should be allowed which I don't.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 12/02/2013 13:32

I called someone a cunt on a thread once and didn't get caught. Ner ner ner ner ner.

@Maryz

That's a good idea.

I will post "Some folks are very odd-fodd" when I mean OhDoFuckOffDearie

We can read this thread, you know.

RandallPinkFloyd · 12/02/2013 11:50

Exactly!

Lol at disingenuous biscuiting shenanigans!

Is it wrong that I read ODFOD as a word?
Like AIBU = aye-boo
ODFOD = odd-fodd

It's a pretty robust website. I think that's why lots of us like it though.
And tbh sometimes women should ditch the bastard.

greencolorpack · 12/02/2013 08:50

I might read the first page and then lose interest. I only post uncontroversially. I'm amazed sometimes by the amount of posters who will tell a complete stranger to ditch their bastard dh or whatever! talk about overstepping the mark!

Sorry if I am taking this too seriously.

usualsuspect · 12/02/2013 08:49

Pile ins do happen on here, but usually someone will come on and try and calm it down, and give the OP some support.

I think piling in does happen. It is most likely on aibu. But not sort of concerted attacks. It tends to be that a few people post 'you are being ridiculous' and then a bunch of arses start adding more and more rude comments.

It's grim but it doesn't happen that much.

Avoiding aibu is a good tip. You can hide the whole topic.

Yes, I feel sorry for your children is a low blow and far worse than swearing. So is people finding out your ambitions and dreams and then saying "she would make a terrible... (teacher, nurse etc)" does that Happen here? I'm glad if the dog pile thing doesn't happen here. I have avoided controversy on this site so don't tend to read the "bunfight" threads much. I don't want to be next.

Chubfuddler · 12/02/2013 08:42

I feel sorry for your children is defo a personal attack. A really nasty one. That stands all the time.

Also. I think you are taking the thread slightly more seriously than it actually is.
