AIBU to think MN not what I thought it would be

sidandlinus · 12/11/2012 22:16

After years of hearing about how influential and "middle class" MN is. I am I being unreasonable to think that I have found it (over past few months - so can't judge beyond this) a bit "meh2! A lot of the postings appear to be attention-seeking, middle-of-the-road and basically dull. Am I missing something?

Whatnoffs the OP was quite categorical in stating her disappointment at how boring it is here.

Ah. Imperial beat me to it.

Tweasels I'm starting to expand

If Fanjo's Aunt Flo turns up, I'm off!

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 12/11/2012 22:41

is "meh" good or bad?

This is the crux of it

TulisaLover · 12/11/2012 22:41

Still gave you the credit though! Apologies imperial :-)

Mind you, she's not done bad - 85 posts and counting. Better than my first serious thread tonight which is languishing at 4 posts.

WorraLiberty · 12/11/2012 22:42

Jamie 'Meh' is a verbal biscuit

Meh2 is probably a twix

Lesbeadiva · 12/11/2012 22:43

Most of my threads get no replies!! I namechange to often I think...I have no username credibility....or very dull threads. Meh

Tweasels · 12/11/2012 22:43

Well, you'll certainly make quite an exit Worra. You can quite literally surf the crimson tide out of there.

Don't forget to deposit this Wine as you leave.

It's the least you can do. SP has been awfully hospitable.

ilovesooty · 12/11/2012 22:44

I want a Twix now.

McChristmasPants2012 · 12/11/2012 22:44

I belive new posters should take a few weeks to get to know the site first without starting threads like this.

MN have helped alot of people, my recent was just me saying well done to a poster for having a smear the power of the posters who don't know me or have met me could have saved my life by encouraging me to go.

this OP has came on and imo has done an inflammatory post

MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember · 12/11/2012 22:45

Well, I'm very important. And interesting. And influential. But not middle-class, I don't think.

I'm not quite sure what you would like it to be, but I'm sure we can all change to suit you if you like [helpful]

WorraLiberty · 12/11/2012 22:45

Ahh the communal MN mooncup Wine

sooty will a Twirl do?

ImperialStateKnickers · 12/11/2012 22:45

Oooo Twix..... want want want!

Tweasels · 12/11/2012 22:47

Tulisalover - to be fair 3 of the posts on your thread were posted by you Grin.

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 12/11/2012 22:47

Twix is far from dull though. You can eat them upside down and they taste completely different.

ImperialStateKnickers · 12/11/2012 22:47

Totally agree McChristmasPants. Although I'm not planning to put on MY Christmas name until December

ilovesooty · 12/11/2012 22:48

Twirls aren't the same. Sad

MorrisZapp · 12/11/2012 22:48

That is the most clumsily worded thread title of all time.

These things do matter.

amillionyears · 12/11/2012 22:48

op, you asked your question wrongly, so you got a bunch of answers to match. That would be your fault, not ours.
You are also coming across as rude? Was that your intention?
You also posted in AIBU, which, if you have indeed been around for a while, you will know that it can get a bit heated on here.
tbh, not sure, but I think that is your intention.

I suggest you carefully reword what it is you would like to politely say, if you want genuine responses.
