AIBU?

... to be tired of the Goady Fuckers?

Is it just me or has there been an increase in goady thread derailing in the last couple of weeks? It seems even the most innocuous of threads are being deliberately diverted by posters who only post offensive or ridiculous comments then refuse to back down.

Here's what I use MN for:

Fun
Support
Advice
Chat
Activism and feminism
Bloggers chat
Politics

Not to have arguments with Goady Fuckers who are sitting at home delighted to have got us all off topic.

A lot of threads I've been on in the past few days have been taken completely off topic or detailed. Have we been invaded MNHQ or is it the work of a couple of fuckwits individuals?

Who wants to join me in an Anti Goady Fucker Campaign?

I vote that when someone tries to derail a thread that we all ignore and do a mass report to MNHQ. They are fed up hearing from me in the past weeks.

The knitting thread was extraordinary.

I was like this Shock. For real.

I'm a goady fuck and I'm ok
I troll all night and I goad all day

There's been a lot of that exact phrasing on a few threads. I wonder if it's the same poster?

Maryz - wasn't the phrase 'living your dreams' used. About knitting.

Ahh God I'm so glad someone has started this thread! I find the posts were a goader gets really personal can be quite upsetting if you have posted about something sensitive, although I have developed a thicker skin Grin e.g. " (me) I have had a row with DH last night because I think he may be cheating" "(goader)You do realise that even though it was late at night your DC could still be awake and hear your row? You and your DH are utterly selfish and should never have had DC".

I think you can generally spot a 'goader' as opposed to someone who just disagrees with you heartily.

Knitting précis

Op : help . Dd wants me to teach her to knit but I am crap

Posters : try this..try books...try YouTube..good luck

Oddment : why are you forcing her to do this. You are so selfish. You are trying to live your dreams through her, forcing her to weep through a waking hell of wool and sweat.

Posters : errr.

Oddment : you are all bullying me.

Etc etc for ages.

Poor Trin. All she wanted was some craft advice and she was accused of ruining her dd's life by sending her to India to work in a sweatshop knitting footballs for spoiled brats

Or something.

Think Pag's précis might be more accurate

I hate the snidey ones the most. On relationships, there was a problem that had nothing at all to do with affairs, cheating Etc. this poster put some spurious advice, then said "possible ow?" Best wishes. It was just so malicious to goad someone into thinking horrible thoughts, then end all innocent with "best wishes"

That thread is Hilair!

"No one knits anymore. Sewing, yes. Knitting, no. How old is she? If she is finding it difficult and you're annoyed with her for not being very good I think you need to reevaluate your attitude towards your daughter. She doesn't sound very keen."

"I just think it would be better for OP's DD to do an activity that is a bit more fun, instead of having her mother live her dreams of being good at knitting through her."

Man, these MNers living their wild knitting dreams through their kids. It's so sad Sad

Though, I swear there is some kind of stupid bug going around.

I have been asked the two following questions today.

"when does the permanent [x] expire?"
what the hell do they think permanent means

"are you at work?"
person phoning me on my work number. As in, landline, not mobile or anything.

The 'live the dream' of knitting makes me snort every time I recall it.

I know, Pag. I mean, living the dream through crocheting, I could understand. But knitting? It is simply too ridiculous.

Do you think there's a whole movement of hot-housing DCs into knitting?

I was terrorised by the attempt (in school) to teach me knitting as a 6yo, though, so I do have a lot of sympathy for that person's crusade against inflicting the sweat and tears of woolly hell.
