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 agree it is one thing to say I don't agree with the op but quite another for posters to start swearing at the op etc.

I once had a poster tell me to learn to fucking spell a certain word (can't remember what it was) when my post was asking if aibu to expect a teacher to put my dc in the right group for maths by April. She had been in the middle group since September and the teacher admitted to me she was "the brightest child in the entire class" and had "probably been given the wrong work since September". Guess the poster might have been an incompetant teacher too.

I just ignore the ones that correct spelling,punctuation and grammar etc..if you have to resort to that, your argument is lost

Fucking moron.

fucking bitch

tethers.

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

I concur :)
Some people can get a bit personal if you disagree with them on here, but tis only t'internet. Am not gonna cry into my pillow.

It differs from thread to thread US usually depending on the first couple of responses and how well known those particular posters are .

Shall I say it?
Or shall I just leave it?

oh yes, I like to try and turn the tide though

catty, just think it. We'll all think it shall we?

if this is a thread about a thread can you please link to the thread it is about....

:)

doh, try again!!

THIS one

I agree with you completely.

FWIW I agree with the OP on both threads.

Y can't BU when it comes to mil's! :o

Also I've seen some really nasty stuff on aibu, most of it really unnecessary. However, I don't think the original thread got that bad, but does that say more about the OP's sensitivity or how much of a bithfest aibu can become?

Supernoodle

Please explain to me why it is ok for the OP to swear and be rude to others but not ok for others to be so to her?

For the record I will state several of us have not stooped to the level of name calling her we have simply stated we disagree with her opinion.

Now considering the fact that she posted on AIBU there has to be a small part of her that feels that there is a possibillity that she is BU why else would she post? If she posted to be told how amazing she was and is a regular poster than at best she was naive.

I stand by everything I have said I honestly do not care what the op calls me in return I know I have at no point been rude to her she can name call all she wants. I stand both by my opinion in the orginal thread (to not open presents before christmas for financial gain) plus too start this post is the pot calling the kettle black when she herself has been rude to several people.

'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!'

I agree with that general comment about aibu threads. I don't like the way some threads descend into name calling and personal insults. That includes the OP on this thread too. There's no need to be rude, it achieves nothing accept detracting from the original debate.

WRT the other thread, I see no harm in returning the dresses for something that will get more wear.

I have a copy of the mn rule book. I read it sometimes and laugh at how most of you aren't using mn properly.
It says being chippy and being unfunny and deeply stupid are forbidden.

I am thinking of a yellow card system to warn people of their infringements of The Rules.

Sanctimoaniarse is the only one allowed to be sanctimonious

Supernoodle you missed my question.

Please explain to me why it is ok for the OP to swear and be rude to others but not ok for others to be so to her?

thats my whole issue she has been rude several times on both threads yet she is being patted on the back being told well done because she posted about people being rude to OP's?

If you read my response in her other post I state I have no issue with her exhchanging the gifts I do have a issue with her doing so before christmas as it is done for financial gain.

Lonnie, I said above I don't think it's ok. I only agreed with the general comment about aibu.

ty I must have missed that when I was reading it all.

oops sorry about that

Rennie?
