To suggest banning those cliquey type threads which don't belong in AIBU?

[Simontowers1]

The ones where anybody new to MN doesn't have a clue what anybody is on about and which aren't really an AIBU but rather a pointless attempt to attract attention/be funny/demonstrate their matey-ness with the rest of the MN clique?
Not saying their isn't a place for such threads just saying shift them off AIBU to stop other users wasting precious seconds of their life clicking. N them.

I like that x-post with you BIWI

Its like on here when women say " well my H says" as if he is the font of all...

Op you do not have to mumsnet. It's fine to walk away.

Oh blimey! We had a 'mainsplainer' on another forum I frequent a few days ago.

What a total knobend he was.

OP joined MN to take part in a thread supporting another male OP who claimed to be looking to give advice to other men and women in relationship breakdowns. But it soon transpired that he was, in fact, stalking his ex wife on MN. The OP on this thread was one of several new male posters who joined (it would seem) just to post on that thread.

OP seems now to have joined in on threads on MN for long enough to decide that he has to tell us all how it needs to be run. He is mansplaining, in other words.

Thank you for explaining! Is there a womansplainingtoo?! There must be?!

Ahhhh, BIWI.
I thought his name sounded familiar.

Oh! usual is back :) ignores wierd thread, and fact usual won't know who the fuckery I am, but nice to see her anyway....kicks dirt, whistles, walks away....

monkeybob was another of them. I can't remember the other names, but I think there was at least one more new poster.

Oh god, it's all starting to make sense ish

My first post on mumsnet was something like 'lol that was very funny' or something equally banal.

No wonder I was ignored, bless them.

No type of threads should be banned, free speech is important.

What very sad blokes.

I really hope the OP doesn't try this approach with a RL group such as Freemasons or the Brownies. It could be quite embarrassing for everyone involved.

"Is there a womansplainingtoo?! There must be?!"

It's called nagging.

Tiggy!!

I'm no good at nagging.

I've tried it with the teen.

'Teen, can you get your room tidy please?'
'I'll do it after lunch'
'Okay then, great'

Teen then goes out with friends for lunch.

I have to put up with 'Catsplaining' - my pet cat is very talkative.

Unfortunately for her i don't understand what her various 'miaows' mean cos i'm no Dr Dolittle so she doesn't get her way.

And although she just tried sitting on the laptop she's not going to be logging onto MN any time soon.

I get catsplaining and teensplaining. I do know what the cat is on about - mainly food. Not so sure about the teen.

I have to give Monica Geller levels of instructions because if I just ask dd to put her plate in the sink then ht is exactly what she will do - no scraping, no looking at what is already in the sink, no thought applied to it?

So I tell her exactly what to do and then get accused of nagging.

It's not nagging. It is a framework of activity for the thoughtless.

'Catsplaining':

I'm hungry
I'm hungry
I'm hungry
I've finished
I'm hungry
I'm hungry
I like the smell of what you're eating, can I have some?
I'm hungry
I'm hungry

One of my cat's is: hurry up and sit down so I can spread myself across you in an ungainly fashion and lick my bum.

My cat: please leave the room I wish to wee in your bed.

The bastard.

My cat used to shit in the bath. Every day
