To wonder when it became ok to be so fucking sanctimonious about someone's opinion!

[MsKLo]

I have noticed, in my time here, that in many replies to AIBU threads, the tone and content can be very high and mighty and just plain bloody rude!

Now, we all have differences of opinion, that is fine. I have nooooooo problem with someone disagreeing with me, but if they personally attack me and are rude, I am, and I have told them to fuck off back to their sanctamonious high chair!

There are many threads where I don't agree with the OP but I am not going to attack them and be rude (unless it is something that is as awful as hitting kids then Might be...). There are ways to reply and not attack surely? I mean, I don't agree with the lady who started a thread about her toddler wearing makeup bur I'm not gonna attack her personally for it. There are ways to reply and I find it bloody awful that some people on here think it is acceptable to personally attack OP's and be so rude.

I think AIBU is an unfair reflection of MN as a whole and I would hide it but people do post in there as a default because it gets high traffic. It's a bit miserable.

But please tell me OP that you've put word of the day toilet paper on your Christmas list. If you're really sold on sanctimonious, most computers have a thesaurus application. For the love of God, change it up a bit.

Lol ok msA! X

MsKLo I agree with you I read your last post and I thought that some posters were out of order

Blimey annie chill out!!!

If it's any help Jo I thought it was funny.

Now,let's all have some mulled wine and sing some jolly xmas songs. Only a pint or so for me as I'm pregnant *

• also joking

You know what, not throwing round any accusations like, but...

.. if I was drunk and unpleasant on a Sunday morning, I like to think I wouldn't go round posting weird stuff on MN.

Because AIBU doesn't disappear, and eventually people put 2+2 together ifthe y haven't already.

I agree with OP. It's not the difference of opinion I have a problem with, it's the personal attacks and rudeness.

I've always put it down to the fact they weren't brought up properly.

Have I slipped into a parallel universe?

Who's the baddie?

I now have absolutely NO idea what is going on

I checked though, and I'm not drunk, so I don't think I'm the baddie

I also agree with OP. It's not the difference of opinion I have a problem with, it's the personal attacks and rudeness.

I've always put it down to the fact they weren't brought up properly.

They are NOT nice!

HTH

Merry Christmas?

at sockythesockpuppet, v good

chillax !! like it

People are always more vocal via the net than they would be via face to face contact. That is the way of the world.

You tend to type without thinking on the net so your first response is in fact the most honest because you have not pondered it.

If you do not wish to be disagreed with don't use the internet.

So many personalities so many people, odds on someone is not going to agree with something someone else has said.

YANBU. Good for you for posting it OP. I have thought this and been tempted to start a similar thread. If you post in here then refuse to toe the official MN party line having weighed up all the responses then you are given a drubbing of the highest order and it can get pretty nasty. I am not scared of AIBU but I think it brings out the worst in some posters. Very entertaining though .

Couldn't agree more, OP. People who resort to rudeness and personal attacks are a bunch of ugly ignorant cunts.

fnarr

Is there an official MN party line? I have not been given that rule book
