Why the chuffing hell do people need to be so flaming aggressive in some of their posts?!
Everybody has different experiences/opinions. Whatever. There's no need at all to call someone an 'idiot' (or anything else for that matter) simply because they have a different view to yourself.
It's bullying. Surely. Makes me wonder whether they'd be so forthcoming with their assaults if they weren't hiding behind a computer screen.
Sorry, whinge over Angry

I think you must be the angel sent to help me define 'irony' to struggling students.

MrSunshine · 28/09/2012 17:11

It is not bullying. Find yourself a dictionary.

Also, find yourself another topic since you aren't asking an aibu.

LostItYearsAgo · 28/09/2012 17:15

Am I being unreasonable to think it? That good enough for you smart arse?!

MrSunshine · 28/09/2012 17:16

No. AIBU to think what? That people are as rude as you?
YABU.

Pagwatch · 28/09/2012 17:16

In fairness, I do have quite a smart arse.

pictish · 28/09/2012 17:17

That's not bullying!

If you ask a bunch of strangers what they think, they will tell you.

'That good enough for you smart arse'

erm....OP? Pot. Kettle. Black.

You just called someone smart arse! Or was that meant to be ironic?

pictish · 28/09/2012 17:22

You whine about the word idiot, then pedal out smartarse when someone disagrees with you?

Have you any idea how daft you look?

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 28/09/2012 17:22

LRD - like manna from heaven, isn't it! Grin

LostItYearsAgo · 28/09/2012 17:23

Irony! Thank the lord for people with a sense of humour.
I give up

Never was a username more apt. Off you trot.

NameChangeGalore · 28/09/2012 17:24

Where where where? How how how? When when when?

puds11 · 28/09/2012 17:25

LRD was op being aggresive on another thread?

Op you've made yourself look a tit.

puds11 · 28/09/2012 17:26

Have i missed something???

YABU for having confused me so!

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/09/2012 17:26

ali - for a pedant such as myself, yes! Grin

puds - not so far as I know? Confused I do feel it's fair enough to reply on the basis of this thread since it's this thread we're answering ...

TantrumsAndGoldAndOrange · 28/09/2012 17:27

Was this supposed to be a joke?

If so....epic fail as my dd would say

HTH

pictish · 28/09/2012 17:28

Thank God for people with a sense of humour? What??

MamaMumrOrangeTheGolden · 28/09/2012 17:30

Initially I had a paranoid moment, because I called someone a fucking idiot today, the I remembered this is aibu so the op could be referring to anyone!

travellingwilbury · 28/09/2012 17:32

I am probably more of a smart arse in rl , actually quite nice on here .

phantomhairpuller · 28/09/2012 17:34

Biscuit anyone?!

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/09/2012 17:35

Oh. That was a joke? Confused

Ok then.

thornrose · 28/09/2012 17:37

Taxi for LostIt!

Hopeforever · 28/09/2012 17:39

Having just recovered from reading the first page of another thread, I agree that mners say things far more harshly on MN as they are anonymous. Well I hope they are not so rude in RL

DameCJ · 28/09/2012 17:43

How odd, someone finds harsh words on an internet site. Has this craic been going on long do you think?
