AIBU?

Share your dilemmas and get honest opinions from other Mumsnetters.

To feel very annoyed when people start threads about subjects in 'AIBU' or 'Chat' which are not about 'AIBU' or 'Chat' but other topics which have their own sections on MN!

For example - anything re Christmas should be in the 'Christmas' section... and that's the only example I can think of at the moment Blush

I've had a stressful day btw

I think an "AIBU about..." christmas-related dilemma is for AIBU. But simply, "what colour table runner should I have" is not AIBU and should go in Christmas.

Etc.

YABU. Lots of the other sections don't get as much traffic so fewer replies. Besides, as a Catholic I had to sit and listen to all the shit throwing in the summer, despite there being a nice little topic it should have been in. Every day there was a new anti Catholic rant. So everyone else can read about my Christmas if I choose to post it in chat.

Ok, thanks but I don't agree - not that I'm up for a fight or anything Grin. Surely anything about Christmas, a dilemma or not, should go under 'Christmas', ie not just the frilly stuff?

I think people know exactly what they're doing Angry but know most people only look at AIBU or chat, or relationships, because it's where the meaty stuff is.

I am fed up with the slagging of peoples spelling ones that should be hidden away in their own box topic

I think we should have a 'Guess What Happened To Me Today?' section- that would divert a lot of rhetorical AIBUs.

MooMooFarm · 14/11/2010 19:11

I do love the AIBU section, btw, but I love it because by definition it should generally be for discussing arguments and rants, which I love to get in the middle of Grin.

So it's quite disappointing sometimes to read down the list of threads and not be able to find anything juicy, just 'AIBU to want to know where i can buy some stripey shoes'... or 'AIBU because I have a spot on the end of my nose'.... etc etc etc!

Chat is deleted and that is why I use it for everything that is not tent or dog related.

The archiving and search-ability of mn and the DM fiasco has made me very cautious about what I post and what topics I use.
