to compile a list of pointless/annoying AIBU responses for MNHQ to outlaw?

[ICBINEG]

Other than troll hunting and personal abuse etc.

eg: "don't you have anything better to worry about?"

Yes of course I fucking do. Just because I posted something doesn't mean it is the only cunting thing I care about!

Or the wonderfully passive aggressive: HTH.

"Mind your own beeswax."

And yes to the two above, definitely!

bleeeurgh.

These are all classics...but it is making me angry reading them....

Do you think if we get enough into one thread it will just collapse into a black hole and take all the shit posts (and shit posters) with it?

How about all the posters who use them get a warning, then three strikes and they're out ;)

HTH is either awful or awesome...I can't decide...I mean it is SO passive aggressive it is almost back round the other side.

It is one of the things I have never been able to do in anger....oh I will swear and tell people to fuck off and rant and rage but the HTH....well that would cross a line.

'Having done a quick search of your previous threads, OP...'

Hate this.

Or a hotline to mn hq: 'Keel them..'

"sense of entitlement"

"your kids won't melt"

""
Ooooh, I'm so scared, when are you and your gang coming round to beat me up? Or should I "fuck off to the far side of fuck and then fuck off some more"?

"We'll you knew what you were getting into when you married a man with children"

Yes because of course if we all had glass balls and knew what we were "getting in to" then none of us on mumsnet would ever really have anything to post about at all

Have we had:

?

Gawd that one annoys me. Just go then. But no, it has to be announced. Well la di dah

Sorry meant '' That's the one.

(You know what I mean...)

"You're not helping (the cause)..."

"Smug much? "

"Did you mean to sound so rude" - which should be answered by "yes", if you have any sense.

"Don't feed the troll."

"Ignore ignore ignore!"

(Sorry, I'm really on a roll here.)

Welcome to MN

(Unless of course it is to a first time poster and not a sarky passive aggressive response)

"You do know, don't you, that...?"

This doesn't usually feature in AIBU threads, it's normally where people are trying to be helpful so I am probably BVU , but I dislike " didn't want to read and run ". Seems to smack of being busy replying to far more important things, but felt obliged to patronise the OP.

"Didn't want to read and run - sorry your hamster has scurvy". Why not just say you're sorry the hamster has scurvy ? And if you did read and run - who'd know ? Surely nobody is keeping a spreadsheet of read-and-runners ?

People who post things like 'Can't believe you have the time / energy / lack of things to do that you've posted something so trivial'.

Yes, because you're clearly so busy and important yourself by pointing out the triviality....

"Ignorant"

(If you disagree with the popular opinion.)

"Didn't you post about this before OP?"

"You may find that this has already been dealt with here "

I always wonder if people who post this go around in RL forbidding anyone to discuss the same things twice

I haven't done this myself, but I think the intention with those posts is to say "You've posted about this before and you didn't listen last time".

Or it is to check whether the current OP is linked to other related stuff posted about before (eg a pattern of nasty behaviour by a spouse).

Sometimes it is helpful to know that the poster is having ongoing issues about something

This is an open forum, and people do have the ability to name change if they don't want other posts linked to

fellatio.

'So what if you're 8 months pregnant? Of course you can walk through 6 feet snow drifts. Pregnancy isn't an illness you know, why should a child give up their seat on the bus for you? Entitled much?'

"Some people will be along soon to say......"

Yeah but by saying that, you've just said it, haven't you?
