AIBU about Hijackers?

I have observed that many AIBU threads are taken over by a certain few members. Particularly if if they think the OP is unreasonable. That's fine - have your say - but why turn it into something unrelated? Some posts are trolling, I can see that and it's unacceptable. I also recognise that the last few days have been a bit unusual. But really, frequent posters, what message are you sending to newbies? "Post on here and we will flame you, then we'll take the piss and hijack your thread". It doesn't inspire confidence in a site which is reknowned for being accepting, supportive and fun. No biscuits please - I don't like them.

Yeh its all crap at the minute but it'll calm down again. I'm just hiding loads of freds [sic] Grin

BORED of people having a go at how other people use MN.

Surely this is a pointless way of trying to regulate the unregulatable.

(is unregulatable a word? Is this very post an example of exactly what I'm bored of? Am I in fact bit pissed unreasonable)

CrystalMaize · 19/03/2012 20:30

In which case, don't post Sarcalogos. It's your choice.

0/10

CrystalMaize · 19/03/2012 20:53

What's the score for Fanjo?

10/10 she's obviously cleverer than me.

deliberately misses point

Now will stop feeding. promise

tethersend · 19/03/2012 20:58

What do you like best, puppies or kittens?

CrystalMaize · 19/03/2012 21:00

Thethersend - is that relevant to the title of the thread?

OP posts:

kittens

Stratters · 19/03/2012 21:03

That's a pretty kitty.

I think kittens, they are less demanding than puppies. Which are, obviously, far less demanding than babies.

You can't crate babies when you go out.

Perfect really.

CrystalMaize · 19/03/2012 21:04

I see the hijackers have arrived. Took you long enough.

OP posts:
tethersend · 19/03/2012 21:04

It's kittens for me, I think.

tethersend · 19/03/2012 21:05

Hang on- you can't crate babies?

Er... I'll be back in a minute.

usualsuspect · 19/03/2012 21:05

Puppies are cute though , but harder work I think.

SophieNeveu · 19/03/2012 21:05

freds with ishoos!

CrystalMaize · 19/03/2012 21:07

Just proved my point. Well done!

OP posts:
tethersend · 19/03/2012 21:11

I had two kittens once. I was told to feed them carnation milk and Weetabix. I'm sure that's not right.

C'mon Crystal, which do you prefer?

CrystalMaize · 19/03/2012 21:14

You're posting on my thread - answer my question please. I would answer yours if it was relevant.

OP posts:
Stratters · 19/03/2012 21:14

Finish your Wine first tethers.

usualsuspect · 19/03/2012 21:16

Red or white Wine though?

tethersend · 19/03/2012 21:17

Ooh, that's a tough one.

I'm going with red. Like spilled blood.

Stratters · 19/03/2012 21:18

Red Wine tonight I think.

Come on, answer the nice lady's question.

tethersend · 19/03/2012 21:19

Oh, right, sorry, where are my manners?

What was the question again?

usualsuspect · 19/03/2012 21:19

I've never noticed thread hijacking on MN tbh.

It's a terrible thing to do [tuts]
