or would it be infra dig to EMPLORE you to use Active Conversations rather than just looking through AIBU?

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

I use active conversations. It gives you a wider view of the world.

Expand your mind

And it would stop all those fucking threads that DO NOT belong in AIBU being there because it gets more traffic

Thank you

As you were

YABU

Infra Dig?

Been drinking OP?

Cow

Y still BU.

I will zap you with my hairdryer remote.

If I were interested in expanding my mind, I'd be out there in the big wide world, not on a chatboard. I'm very fond of AIBU... not moving, sorry.

I have to take DD to Gymnastics now.

You are ABU

Get out of this corner of mumsnet and see the big wide world

Please

I aim to please!

would be joining you if I wasn't up the duff

Emplore?

What is wrong with implore . Oh feck. I just re-read the thread title and realise that dressing 5 year old in gym kit while typing is one multitasking too far. Maybe it is an alternative spelling?

::goes to check online dictionary::

::marvels at the definition of petard while there::

I do use active convos

out of 100 threads, on average 99 of them will be AIBU

What is a hairdryer remote?

Exactly Hec.

Is that not fucking annoying?

oh yes. Particularly things like aibu to want a cup of tea or aibu to be upset that someone just punched me in the gob...

when the person is not actually wanting opinions, but to chat about something.

But people post where they are likely to get most replies and that's AIBU. It's a bit along the lines of the Shoe Event Horizon (who's going to get that?)

It has begun to Get My Goat (and I am not on benefits)

The shoe event horizon is a good analogy.

'Tis a vicious circle where people post here to get traffic because some fuckers never look anywhere else.

Me me me, I got that. I was watching a documentary about geology and fossils only the other day and they were showing some very soft crumbly sedimentary layered rocks, and I shouted. "It's shoes!" and DH was extremely .

ah, we should just embrace it and rename the place AIBUnet

But if we follow the shoe event horizon to it's conclusion, what happens if you can't post here unless you think you are being unreasonable? It would only be unreasonable people or insecure people who need to be bolstered.

All of the reasonable people would be gone.

Would the rest of MN have turned into birds?

Is this Mortimers way of taking over MN?

Yup. Eventually all that will be left of the world will be a disembodied voice wailing "you were all unreasonable" and a single fairy cake.

Look - I even missed an apostrophe

::sends self to pedants' corner::

ahem

Still trying to drum up support, eh?

oh, sorry, tis hecate. Went back to my roots.

Yes I blardy well am.

It is not right.

I was not there for the "you can't have chat as a topic" thing, but the AIBU thing seems to be a step far to far

I always use active convos

Usualsuspect I respect you for that.

And luff you a little bit more than I did already
