i am probably bu for posting a thread about a thread but I have woke up this morning to find a number of threads from posters moaning about attitudes on MN. The Internet is a large place and if you don't like it you can always go elsewhere.

OP posts:
UnChartered · 18/04/2012 09:39

which posts 'moan about attitudes on MN'?

have you challenged those on the relevent thread?

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 18/04/2012 09:40

Yep. Bugger off to car trader forums for advice on your kids instead Wink

Kladdkaka · 18/04/2012 09:41

You're posting a thread about a thread about a thread! Confused

FeakAndWeeble · 18/04/2012 09:46

MN is WEIRD today.

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 18/04/2012 09:46

Just today? Hmm

FeakAndWeeble · 18/04/2012 09:49

Sorry.

MN is especially weird today.

OhChristFENTON · 18/04/2012 09:59

There is always some weirdness here, I usually miss it all and log on to find loads of "it's been really weird around here lately" posts

I don't mind the 'moaning about MN' threads, it gives the moaner a chance to be told that actually MN isn't so bad.

btw way I love your nn SillyBeardyDaddyMan Grin

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 18/04/2012 10:03

Cheers fenton it's what my dd used to call me when she was in a playful/silly mood.

I'm guessing this is all about the person who posted several aibus overnight? Accusations of trolling and bullying abound!

FeakAndWeeble · 18/04/2012 10:20

I love it too, I called my dad daddyman when I was little and we always call DH that to DS (currently not at the speaking stage, but hoping it will catch on!)

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 18/04/2012 10:24

I loved being daddyman. Strangely tho, you never seem to get any "mummywoman" or "mummylady"

Apologies to the op for my nn derailing the thread Grin

FeakAndWeeble · 18/04/2012 10:26

I am mummylady!

(Actually at the moment I am 'Milk' Hmm but we're working on it)

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 18/04/2012 10:28

Rofl at "milk" Grin

If I was chasing dd I was the big bad daddyman. Maybe I should use that as my nn on aibu?

MorrisZapp · 18/04/2012 10:30

I melted when my little nephew said that his favourite guy was 'daddy guy' :)

Shutupanddrive · 18/04/2012 10:30

Yanbu

MorrisZapp · 18/04/2012 10:32

I'd stay clear of big bad daddy man as a nn unless you want to receive disturbing fanmail from ladies with applique sweatshirts and extensive doll collections.

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 18/04/2012 10:40

Yikes! Does sound a little prison chic...

thatisall · 18/04/2012 12:25

I was one of 'the accused' last night, but I've already seen enough good in a short space of time to brush it off.

I think the other poster had a lot on her plate & over-reacted, but I bet people do that all the time? So maybe this site isn't for everyone...so they go elsewhere....kinda predictable that they will throw a few 'I hate you all' comments into the mix before they do.

I'm sure Auto-Trader has a fair few haters too lol

Starwisher · 18/04/2012 12:34

Thats ridiculous op

Mn is by and large great, but it could do better. I give it B grade.Some of crap needs challenging.

If we dont challenge, adapt and grow we would all be stuck in the ruddy dark ages.

OneHandFlapping · 18/04/2012 12:50

OP it would be a shame if all the sensible posters buggered off, leaving the site to a handful of bullies.

Fecklessdizzy · 18/04/2012 12:56

I was Mrs. Mum Lady Cat for a bit ...

I actually like the pointy aspect of MN, the Snotty Mannerless Gits give it a bit of spice( in small doses Wink).

Glad you've decided to stick around thatisall it's not so bad once you get your flameproof pants adjusted!

thatisall · 18/04/2012 13:14

As I said last night, I've armed myself with a spark and I'm coming in!! lol

puds11 · 18/04/2012 13:16

I think i need to change my username.
Just opened this thread and thought i had written it! Man i am having possibly the most confusing day ever!

thatisall · 18/04/2012 13:16

Spork not spark!!!! grrr

Starwisher · 18/04/2012 13:17

I thought i recognised puds nn, but seemed out of character to write a thread like this

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 18/04/2012 13:18

Good on you thatisall!
Don't get frightened, get stuck in!
