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

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.

Lonnie you were being a sanctimonious arse in your reply - I had no problem with your opinion, you are entitled to it, but your general tone was sOooooo irritating - if you can't see that, I really don't care

Loopy resorted to including my children in her insults which is so pathetic and she should be ashamed of herself

That so many of you wonderful ladies feel the way I do - that some people on here are sanctimonious and high and mighty on their replies to what was a fairly Tongue in cheek thread to start off with, is refreshing

And there does seem to be a bullish, nasty response from certain people here and especially if anyone dares to bring up how nasty some can be

It's great to read so many responses from ladies who are above that and see my responses are to people who have started the unpleasantness - I am not one to take that kind of crap and they just can't take it that someone stands up to their bully behaviour and tells them to fuck off

I feel vindicated! :-D

Oh how precious! I love that you've started this thread when you claimed not to give a 'flying fuck'.

But sweetie, if you can't stand to be told that you seem a little shallow without throwing your toys out of the pram, perhaps AIBU is not the place for you.

MsKLo · 19/12/2010 20:01

Sweetie I could not give a flying fuck about dearies like you but it is nice that other ladies on MN see women like you for who you really are!

If anything this has confirmed what sanctimonious arses some people are and it is quite funny

Be a dear and go spread whatever it is you like to spread somewhere else - go on sweetie. Good girl

No, this thread is just fine, MsKlo. I mean, it was started for me, wasn't it? Why the name change, by the way? And why were some of your posts to me on the other thread deleted?

Perhaps they were a bit rude, hmmm?

You are not that special noble an the name change is an in joke with someone and it's only one letter so it is obvious it's me

Unfortunately some posts about you were deleted yes, not my choice and if I could I would say them again

Now be a good girl and fuck off off my thread theres a dear...

oh i like it when we get to the swearing bit. means the thred is starting to get fun.

sparkle101 · 19/12/2010 20:16

OMG

I cannot believe this is still going on. I have been out for sunday lunch with family, had three courses, coffee, mints, mince pies and sung carols..... and an extraordinarily long raffle and we are still going?

Can't everyone just get on, we don't all agree, if we did it would all be a bit boring. Please can we just get on with our lives, accept everyone is different and whilst we may not agree with each other, there is more to life.

It's christmas!

TandB · 19/12/2010 20:17

I am thoroughly confused. I was about to comment that the OP's username was extremely close to that of a long-standing MN member who might be a bit unhappy if people associated her with the aggressive rubbish on this thread. I just glanced at the other thread and realised that MsKLo IS MsKalo.

I always thought MsKalo was pretty sane and sensible. What on earth has happened to unleash the torrent of verbal abuse and playground insults?

Genuinely confused here.

noblegiraffe · 19/12/2010 20:17

"if I could I would say them again"

Oh let me see, to save you the bother, you swore a lot, overused the word 'sanctimonious' and suggested I was a troll.

And then started a 'victim' thread.

I'm surprised that my rather tame comments sparked such a reaction, to be honest. The truth hurts, I suppose.

MsKLo · 19/12/2010 20:26

kungfu

some people seem to think that if I respond to their sanctimonious bullshit, then i am a nasty person

I state that, I have no problem with people disagreeing with my opinion but do have a problem with idiots who personally attack me, judge me for my opinion and offer pious posts

It all started with me asking if I am unreasonable for opening and taking back some xmas pressies from the MIL - loads of people thought I was, some thought not, and others got on their high and mighty fucking chair to tell me how AWFUL I am for doing so! Their tone and their personal statements made me retaliate and in many cases tell them to fuck off!

I think I was entirely right to do so, they, on the other hand, high up from their smug thrones say they are so great and did nothing but state I am unreasonable. Yeah right! I am not one to take twattish statements lying down and am often sane(ish)...

fuck off noble - you are boring me with your goody-goody twaddle but if you insist on staying because you just can't help yourself then so be it dearie

I find it best to get your retaliation in first. I can see you agree.

I got the gist of what went on. However, at the risk of sounding old-fashioned, I am surprised at you.

You didn't present yourself well on the other thread (from the couple of pages I read). There are ways of disagreeing with someone, even disagreeing strongly, without resorting to name calling and swearing. All that does is undermine your argument and make you look unreasonable just by your manner, without even going into the content of your posts.

This second thread was a really bad idea. Again, it doesn't make you look good. It makes you look immature. Defend yourself by all means, but why toddle off and start another thread for the sole purpose of bitching? If you think you are right then stand your ground on the original thread, but you might want to have a re-think about the way you do it.

MsKLo · 19/12/2010 20:43

kungfupanda

I like you and I respect your opinion so I will take it on board, especially as you show how to offer an opinion without it seeming pious, nasty or insulting

Thanks for posting. I still think some people there were being sanctimonious arses (my word of the day it seems) but yes, I can see your point. I should have left them to it if that is how they wanted to be and possibly not expect people to understand the whole history of the thread straightaway (funny MIL etc)but I was genuinely Hmm at how some people were responding which got my back up and exposed my aggressive side! Many didn't just offer opinions, they were nasty about it - but I stooped to their level by being nasty back as they are not worth my words.

Thanks again kungfu and I will aim to get back to my normal sane self soon

Sleep is needed!
