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.

Is this still going on? Last thing I remember it was midnight, I was going to get a drink and put the dog's worm treatment on (the dog) ... and then it all went dark Confused

Dear mumsnet hq,
Please ban the word "sanctimonious" forever. I think if I see it once more then I am going to start smacking myself around the face and I have only read half of all these loopy threads.

Much Love

Fimbo

supernoodlesrock · 20/12/2010 16:42

This thread is ridiculous, your all as bad as each other and apparently no-one is bothered by what the other side are saying about them - so why are you all still bitching?

scottishmummy · 20/12/2010 16:46

I posted on it earlier and was checking the new posts but all there's been is a load of bitching. It's not really debating the OP's point and I don't believe that you are genuinely not bothered by the comments being made. It just seems a bit nasty when the joking is designed to infuriate or upset someone else.
