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.

Look I had to smack Mrs Non Smoker because she was going to get herself another drink.

I think she should have waited until Christmas Day to get another drink, and then exchange it in the sales.

The MN sanctimonious word counter has gone into meltdown!!!!!!!!!!!

You lot do know the Apprentice was on last night!!!!

Out of interest, OP did you used to be KaloHalo because I think I may have been on some ttc bus threads with you last year under a different NN. :)

I want to know what a bricking it emoticon would look like....
I think we should have one of those.

MsKLo · 20/12/2010 12:57

by the way kelly

no way did i demand to know why you wont be bf

i simply asked and asked also, in light of the benefits too, is this something that makes a diff to you

if you are so defensive about it that you cannot be asked then is that my fault?

here is what i said, is it demanding? it may make you feel uncomfortable but i did not demand at all and you know it!

can I ask you why you will not be bf? I don't mean to be rude and of course you entitled to do as you wish, but I find it difficult to understand why people would not when the long term benefits to babies (including risk of cot death reduced, risk of infections reduced as well as risk of certain childhood cancers reduced, not to mention cutting your risk of breast/ovarian cancer etc etc etc...) i don't say this as a scare tactic, but what I mean is, when you see facts like this in black and White - and the bonding aspect for baby too, does this mean something to you or not? I have really tried to word this in a way that is not rude so I do apologise if it comes across like that, but I just find it hard to understand why someone would not given how good it is for baby and how the benefits last for life.

kelly congratulations when baby come.love,feed,cuddle your baby and best wishes for new year.and no you dont have to justify yourself to anyone else

MrsKlo ease up on the bold its a bit like online shouting.

do you understand that statistical correlation differs from causation. so whilst certain things may be linked to formula use, that formula use doesn't necessarily cause cancer for example. so do stop berating a pg women with what ifs it is most unbecoming and obnoxious

Desiderata · 20/12/2010 14:15

If this is going to turn into a bf thread, let's make it a bitch fight Grin

The way I see it, Mrs OP, if you post on a public forum, you get what your given. It's a bit like using public transport. If you're queasy about who sits next to you .. take a walk.

scottishmummy · 20/12/2010 14:43

MrsK do babies at nursery and working mums then you will have covered most argy bargy topics
formula feeding causes bunions,boils,tennis elbow- tick
you is all fuckin bitches- tick
...whats next princess

SerendipitousHarlot · 20/12/2010 14:45

I haven't been involved with any of this - but I have now read both threads, and my objective opionion is that the OP is pretty fucking rude. HTH.

JamieLeeCurtis · 20/12/2010 15:09

MsKLo - your tone is a bit abrasive. I can see why people react as they do.

ginhag · 20/12/2010 15:11

MsKlo, YES your bf question sounded demanding. Very.

HTH.

MsKLo · 20/12/2010 15:15

ok, it was not meant to sound demanding...
it was meant to be a genuine question

i will relook at how i ask things

was not meant to sound demanding at all - it is probably difficult to ask this as a genuine query without it seeming abrasive

fair enough jamielee and ginhag thanks for feedback

Wordsonascreen · 20/12/2010 15:39

Classic thread.
Particularly the blatant arselicking of mn regulars (disclaimer this is by no means a slur on them) by the OP and the faux apology as a form of redemption.

Feedback FFS its not a peer review.

tethersjinglebellend · 20/12/2010 15:42

Do I need to take my gloves off?

scottishmummy · 20/12/2010 15:57

lol tether that about covers it.
feedback?its not the apprentice toots

scottishmummy · 20/12/2010 16:00

Desiderata · 20/12/2010 16:02

Job done ..

MsKLo · 20/12/2010 16:11

I was not arse licking anyone! It should be obvious I don't arse lick by my comments to some...

Fucking hell - I can't win can I? I was genuinely trying to take on board some comments so screw you wordsonascreen - fool

That unarselicky enough for you?

OP posts:
ginhag · 20/12/2010 16:12

To be fair, I was playing the guitar with my teeth at the time....

Desiderata · 20/12/2010 16:13

Totally at odds with your OP, of course.

I don't think you know your tit from your elbow, MsK.

scottishmummy · 20/12/2010 16:15

you are on a roll now Mrs.maybe thank your supporters and diss everyone else

oh hang aboot flaw in that plan is you have no supporters

ach diddums

ginhag · 20/12/2010 16:18

I have to admit I'm still curious as to how a high chair can be sanctimonious? Ours never really seemed to have an opinion on anything. Maybe that's all i get for shopping in ikea.

ginhag · 20/12/2010 16:19

Also I think it is hypothetically speaking possible to be rude to some people and very nice to others. Which would imply that wordsonascreen is not entirely foolish.

Wordsonascreen · 20/12/2010 16:26

Oh don't defend me ginhag.
I have been truly humbled

I fool I tells ee a foooole
