And actually have nothing better in their lives than to argue black is white just to piss people off?

I'm always right though.

PeriodFeatures · 21/07/2013 19:03

babyhmummy what has pissed you off to inspire this thread! Do tell!

SarahStrattonIsBackForJustABit · 21/07/2013 19:04

WHAT FALSE INFO SPREADING?

I'm bored, c'mon share.

MrsWembley · 21/07/2013 19:05

Black is actually sky-blue pink with purple polka dots... So there.

YABU

And there's Stratters! Where have you been? Haven't seen you about for an age!!!

Groovee · 21/07/2013 19:05

What are you on about? Hmm

usualsuspect · 21/07/2013 19:06

Nice to see you back,Stratters.

EllieArroway · 21/07/2013 19:07

Think I'd need an example. One woman's "goad" in another woman's "opinion", to be honest.

I am endlessly being accused of goading - and that is never my intention. I'm just capable of speaking my mind, and I have endless respect for those I know who do the same (Icbineg is one).

SarahStrattonIsBackForJustABit · 21/07/2013 19:08

Hey guys Grin

Is nobody going to tell me what false bloody info?

usualsuspect · 21/07/2013 19:08

Only 2 posters? That's a poor show.

MrsWembley · 21/07/2013 19:08

usual, have you been causing trouble again with your kindle fingers?

usualsuspect · 21/07/2013 19:09

I don't know what the false info is.

Come on op we need more info on the false info

DiaryOfAWimpyMum · 21/07/2013 19:09

I don't take much notice tbh

usualsuspect · 21/07/2013 19:10

It wasn't me,MrsW.

Well it might have been...

Viviennemary · 21/07/2013 19:11

I think we should appreciate it if people have different opinions from our own re bringing up children, dealing with money and so on. I think it's good people have strong opinions otherwise what is the point of discussing anything.

DiaryOfAWimpyMum · 21/07/2013 19:11

Oh these threads turn up every now and then about 'false spreading' and they never get anywhere, one was saying people has 'false dc' etc...

usualsuspect · 21/07/2013 19:12

I have a false tooth.

KittensoftPuppydog · 21/07/2013 19:13

Agreed, some posters just want to wind people up rather than argue.
I like the rough and tumble of debate but I don't think that's what these people are doing.

nenevomito · 21/07/2013 19:14

Perhaps they're not deliberately goading. Perhaps they just don't agree with the other posters.

The internet is FULL of keyboard warriors of all shapes and sizes. As someone said above, MN isn't the worst place for it.

p.s. Threads whinging about other MNers could be seen as causing agro, so backatcha OP Grin

SarahStrattonIsBackForJustABit · 21/07/2013 19:14

False DC? What, like those reborn dolls? Or do some posters not find it acceptable that others change small details to prevent being recognised in RL? Too much like hard work IMO, but understandable, and I can't see why it would be unacceptable.

usualsuspect · 21/07/2013 19:15

Who are 'these people'

LRDYaDumayuIThink · 21/07/2013 19:15

Well, yes. Obviously.

Some posters go into the religion section purely to argue that God is a myth; some posters go into FWR purely to carp at feminism; some posters go on AIBU to call us all a load of aggressive meanies.

C'est la vie.

I do think threads like this have a lovely unifying effect on all of us who get to agree about the OP, though. Smile

McNewPants2013 · 21/07/2013 19:18

Op if you suspect this then report the thread or person doing it the MNHQ .

SarahStrattonIsBackForJustABit · 21/07/2013 19:21

But God is a myth.

MrsWembley · 21/07/2013 19:23

A myth?

I thought he was just a really uncool grown-up in some stories about people behaving badly...

usualsuspect · 21/07/2013 19:23

There does seem to be a few dodgey goady posters about atm though.

I wondered if we had had some sort of invasion.
