Why do some of the comments posted have to get quite so bitchy?

[Reedybookworm]

I must be naive, but have been shocked at some of the bitchy comments posted by others on here, really new to this, and its quite fascinating how there are people who seem to search out others and keep replying to their threads with just bitchy comments? What has happened to good old debate? Happy to learn, to be given more information so I can maybe reform my initial opinion. Now i am wondering How do these people respond when their family say something they disagree on? Do they swear at them? Hope not! So please don't reply to this thread unless you are going to be reasonable about it.

Very silly. I am slowly converting people to ::::*

*As in one other person on MN now uses it when I've been here nearly 5 years...

I've not heard 'Up yours' for fucking years!

I do think it'd be a shame if you left, OP.

MN is a really great place and I'm currently receiving an amazing amount of support from the vipers on a few threads.

Why don't you find a topic or two that you're interested in and see how that goes?

AIBU is really going to be the place where you're going to be told YABU, no matter what you ask.

I do think it was rather controversial of you to start a thread in AIBU in which you basically want to tell us that we're bitches. It's begging to be ripped to shreds.

At school we had 'swivel' while sticking the middle finger up.

Try a bit harder op. this attempt is a bit weak.

I only use on >

I use ::these:: on Facebook texts and the like.

Nowt so queer as folk.

I use * these on fb and texts

inspired posting.

Just off to see if my last offensive post got any results!

Usual, you're right, there is one of these threads every week! Do you remember the one where the OP said "I don't Like MN you're all nasty and sweary so stop it"?

And everyone started being nice and hunning and lolling and nobody swore and the thread went really well?

Er...no

It was a lovely dream Luis.

Lolz

You guys are soooooo funny

(Eeeeeeeeeew)

Is that the TARDIS I hear?

Op, thrrrrrrruuuuuup!

Which is the nearest to a big pink wet raspberry as I can get with a keyboard.

The bitchy often makes the thread interesting!

Wish it was, Tee, still nearly 5 months to go...

Afternoon all,

We think this thread is was started to inflame - so we're going to delete it.

But he is, Buffy - he's in the 50th anniversary special...

::tries out new bookendy things::

Actually, that's easier on the iPad, because :: are on the first punctuation screen and > are on the second one.

::lazy::

Yo may have just doubled your conversion rate, Tee!

But it just got all interesting. And we put lolz in it and everythink.

Ah but we're having fun!

@Tee2072

Ah but we're having fun!

Oh alright then

But we will zap if the lolz turn sour....
