PMT all aggroed out now? Smile

Maybe you could ask for your comment on that thread to be deleted?
The op has apologised to you on it, god knows why, but you won't know as you've hidden it
do you feel better now that you've made someone feel crap?

compo · 23/01/2011 13:58

I don't care that she hid the thread but she didn't need to tell the op she was hiding it did she?

TrillianAstra · 23/01/2011 14:01

"I'm hiding this thread" is always a silly thing to do. Usually said by peop who are losing an argument but don't want the other party to think they have won.

If you don't want to participate any more, just stop.

compo · 23/01/2011 14:03

The thing is it wasn't even an argumentative thread
the op was just asking for advice

Mumcentreplus · 23/01/2011 14:03

OP now that was a tad thoughtless and practically wicked!!Hmm...are you going to say sorry in PM?

I bagsy the Black Mamba! Grin

i just wanted to say,i hate that i cant bloody spell.

it's embarrassing.

it makes me feel stupid and shite.

it takes me forever to write a post as i try my best to make sure ive spelled everything correctly.

my terrible spelling annoys me a lot more often than it annoys you. Grin

GooseFatRoasties · 23/01/2011 17:19

YABU and a cnut Wink

TheMonster · 23/01/2011 17:24

I was indeed unreasonable and a bitch. But there is still no need for poor literacy. Grin

TheMonster · 23/01/2011 17:25

Compo, I don't think I will as I can't see the thread anymore!

YANBU it winds me up too and I don't have PMT. What winds me up even more is how so many people cannot spell DEFINITELY - the number of times I see "definately". But then I'm just irrational 80% of the time...

TheMonster · 23/01/2011 17:27

Anon, I love you.

OP posts:
porcine · 23/01/2011 17:27

Is it because I spelled usage incorrectly?

MordechaiVanunu · 23/01/2011 17:33

Not really why you find your bitchiness so hilarious? It doesn't make you a 'card'.

It makes you much more ignorant than a person who may misspell definitely.

TheMonster · 23/01/2011 17:39

I don't find it hilarious. I've acknowledged that I was being unreasonable.
I shall go and punish myself by writing out lines...and I shall try very hard to spell everything correctly.

(I never mentioned spelling, though)

YABU. Bit old for playground bullying, aren't we? Because that is what it boils down to. Taking the piss out of someone else and making them feel shit just so you can feel smug and superior.

So if you know you're being irrational, why post this and the comment about poor literacy? Except to make someone feel more shit than you already have done.

MordechaiVanunu · 23/01/2011 17:52

If you know your unreasonable don't start threads asking if you're unreasonable, as it's then utterly dull, pointless unkindness.

And don't add 'big grin emotions suggesting your nastiness is endearing. Its not.

Just my suggestions.

To me this sort of self congratulatory ignorance is so much worse than some who writes 'alot'.

Hulababy · 23/01/2011 17:55

Of course yabu. Hardly inclusive/ TBH, can't see why you need to start a thread about it - apart from to deliberate cause some offence.

JumpOnIt · 23/01/2011 17:56

Ah, MV so much more succinct and eloquent than I :)

sofaqueenie · 23/01/2011 17:58

Christ, get a life love

BradTittAndFlange · 23/01/2011 18:01

YABU

TheMonster · 23/01/2011 18:02

sorry hun

YANBU. Annoys the hell out of me. 'Serves me right though, if I hide a thread it just keeps popping up with a vengeance (I speak of shitting library threads, that I really don't give two tiny rat asses about) :o

HelenBa · 23/01/2011 18:34

Love the alot MrsG
