I think we should have a WWYD topic.....

....either as well as or instead of AIBU

I think it invites opinions and experiences but without the red-rag factor

anyone agree with me, or AIBU?

Evening all. We'll put it to the vote when office hours resume

I think its a good idea - anything to cut down on the amount of AIBU threads that dominate active convos.

odd... I thought plural of lemma was lemmata, but dilemmae seems in usage.

What do I know? It's all greek to me

EachPeachPearMum · 01/05/2009 21:20

I believe it's actually 'dilemmata' isn't it?

if we're going to be uber-poncy it should be existential dilemmae

Maybe it should be called existential dilemmas?

We could have a WWNetMumsdo for anyone feeling a bit stressed.

well, in that sense all topics are AIBU too. But the section title gives an indication of what sort of responses the OP is hoping for, no?

isn't chatting online anonymously about your concerns/daily musings entirely opening up the opportunity for others to comment a WWYD in itself

eg baby names ... her's my list what do you think = what would you do?

etc etc

it might make all other topics redundant

I think if we had WWYD as well it would give people a choice - so anyone posting on AIBU would be choosing the more "robust" style of debate

Actually I've thought before that that would be a good addition. It might stop some of the more inflammatory AIBU threads.
