DH reposted one of those chain status things about the government banning the word christmas because it was offensive to minorities and that british people should be able to celebrate our religion and cultures without worrying about upsetting minorities and we should be proud of being British etc.

Any my sister has just uploaded a status saying "nobody is banning christmas, think some people need to stop believing everything they read in the sun".

This is blatently a passive aggressive dig at DH. AIBU to call her up on it and tell her to delete it?

I hate facebook with a passion and it really is for idiots (Judgemental I know).

How many arguments has facebook spawned?

How many people has it directly hurt with it's long stretchy fingers of pervasive fondue type get to know you agenda?

What's wrong with email :)

Proudnscary · 29/11/2011 07:02

OP has been taken to Italy

usualsuspect · 29/11/2011 08:06

I use fb and I'm not an idiot

Greythorne · 29/11/2011 08:07

Note to OP: it's not proper trolling if you never come back.

SanTEEClaus · 29/11/2011 08:45

FB is not for idiots. It's for people who like to talk to their friends from all over the world.

The OP's husband, on the other hand, is an idiot.

Whatmeworry · 29/11/2011 09:09

I can't think of any mitigating circumstances. Probably wouldn't have done the PA thing, so i'd aske her to delete it and write "DH is definitely a twat" on his wall :o

lubeybaublely · 29/11/2011 09:33

YABU. Your sister is right and you DH needs to educate himself and stop being ignorant enough to believe that utter crap.

SnapesMistress · 29/11/2011 09:35

Op is not a troll just off licking her wounds probably.

In case she is still watching. YABU!

hellsbells76 · 29/11/2011 09:37

Not a troll? Interesting first post for a non-troll...

DeckTheHugeWithBoughsOfManatee · 29/11/2011 09:41

YABU to object to your sister's FB post. I thought it was admirably restrained.

Miette · 29/11/2011 09:42

Your sister is right but she should have replied on his actual post rather than making a snide dig at him.

YABU. She's right, it is a bunch of bollocks and makes him seem stupid. I do exactly the same when these come up on mine as they're all very anti-Muslim more than anything and nobody is trying to stop Christmas...

YABU your husband is stupid for reposting that rubbish.
Can't stand people that repost crap like that.

Splinters · 29/11/2011 12:23

Wow, I've just been back through this whole entire thread and can't believe no-one's had the biscuits out yet. Biscuit, anyone?

MrsWembley · 29/11/2011 17:02

Has the OP not been back yet?

Oh dear, she should be proud of her achievement - uniting MNers! I don't think I've ever seen a unanimous AIBU before. Anybody else?

OP, have a hug and a Bear. Life is still worth living. You may want to think about a name change, mind you...

mumeeee · 29/11/2011 17:28

YABU I'm another one who's with your sister.

FantasticVoyage · 29/11/2011 17:42

Does OP want to go to Italy to see the birthplace of Il Duce, perhaps?

QueenVictoria42 · 29/11/2011 18:59

Judging by her nn, I'm guessing OP longs to be whisked away from her perceived view of the UK: immigrant-ridden - down the toilet, turn the lights out when you leave. She hankers after the utopian land of Italy with it's fabulous economy and lothario ex-PM, because of course they is immigrant-free innit? I expect she read that in the DM somewhere.

MeconiumHappens · 29/11/2011 21:10

YABU, i would have posted same as your sister. Stupid narrow minded bollocks christmas banning crud. Like the ones about banning flags going up. GRrrr, what a load of wank.

hellsbells76 · 29/11/2011 22:11

I did once start a unanimous AIBU (everyone agreed I wasn't BU). It's one of my proudest achievements.

TararaBOOMdeay · 29/11/2011 22:15

What I want to know is, if the whole entire population of Mumsnet knows this sort of 'repost if you're a barely concealed racist' status is unacceptable, why the hell do most of my extended family people still repost the shite?
