About the same subjects time and time and time AGAIN would take it to the forum that is related to that subject and stop banging a drum to the many uninterested people time and time again?

for example ....... ?

StealthPolarBear · 27/03/2011 16:00

something been getting to you?
Does it really distress people that much to have to read a thread they have no interest in?

scuzy · 27/03/2011 16:01

apparently so Stealth. I like MN cos the thread titles are self explanatory and kinda know before going into it if it will interest me or not.

thumbwitch · 27/03/2011 16:01

Do people actually click on threads they have no interest in? I don't, and if I do by accident, I stop reading after the gist of the OP has become clear.

Gemsy83 · 27/03/2011 16:02

To see umpteen threads every week about the same arsing subject with the same arsing people saying the same arsing crap is just boring. Why do people feel the need to do it? Im genuinely curious?

OP posts:
scuzy · 27/03/2011 16:03

and you read them all? why? is they are that boring.

cmon say whats really getting to ye.

scuzy · 27/03/2011 16:03

IF they are that boring meant to say

Gemsy83 · 27/03/2011 16:04

Did I say I read them all? Can't recall that but please feel free to C&P where I did....

OP posts:
scuzy · 27/03/2011 16:05

well if you know they are about the same subject AND by the same poster i'm presuming you read them!

laInfanta · 27/03/2011 16:06

tbf there is about one a week where someone asks 'what name do you use for privates with your children'

hocuspontas · 27/03/2011 16:06

So you glimpse the title then hide the thread. Takes about half a second. No biggie.

Gemsy83 · 27/03/2011 16:06

I may look at one of the umpteen threads and see the same people commenting as one of the umteen threads the week before and notice the same posters commenting- hardly the same as reading them all....I just want to know really what people get out of bleating to people the same stuff all the while get out of it?

Honeybee79 · 27/03/2011 16:07

Well, if it doesn't interest you then don't read it. Do something else instead of getting all cross about it.

scuzy · 27/03/2011 16:07

jaysus you've little to be worrying about!

sigh

PrincessConsuelaBananaHamok · 27/03/2011 16:08

so OP doesn't read the threads in question but still feels able to moan about their existence even though their content is unknown to OP

okaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Gemsy83 · 27/03/2011 16:08

It doesnt make me cross, it makes me wonder why people are so boring tbh to trot out the same quotes, anecdotes, studies etc on a weekly basis....

OP posts:
southeastastra · 27/03/2011 16:09

perhaps they go upstairs and have a large wank over it

bubbleymummy · 27/03/2011 16:09

Well if you think about it, every thread is just a variation of another... I mean how many things about parenting are there to discuss? Yabu - don't read them if you aren't interested :)

PrincessConsuelaBananaHamok · 27/03/2011 16:10

tell us why you are getting riled up about something that you have no interest in?

curious

Gemsy83 · 27/03/2011 16:10

I thought the purpose of this board was to discuss say certain scenarios, situations, thoughts etc- not to bang on about how people parent, choices people make for their lifestyle etc? I can clearly see i've got the wrong end of the stick though.

Some people need educating I guess.

They frequently do where my own hobby horse is concerned.

scuzy · 27/03/2011 16:11

take it up with MN Admin then! people have a right to post what they want!!

faverolles · 27/03/2011 16:12

Is this about the breastfeeding thread any thread in particular?
You don't have to read every thread on here. There is a hide option if it bothers you that much :)
