To have fallen out of love

Have name changed. But I hate the way some but I know not all gang up on you and are quite frankly rude if you god forbid have a different opinion than them or their "agenda". I loved MN as I found it gave so many people such valuable advice but I really dislike the ganging up- feels a bit school bullies to me.

It can be a bit bracing on here, but you have to try and take what you want from the site and ignore the shitty bits.

Same with anything else really.

Are there any other sites for parents you like?

AgentZigzag · 26/10/2013 14:49

And is it a bit goady odd to be saying you don't like the site on AIBU after saying you don't like confrontation?

I always imagine the aggressive posters as quite meek and unhappy in rl.

There is a hide thread button and you can customise topics so they don't show in active.

Have a look in talk, there are hundreds of topics, you might find more like minded souls if you hang out in arts and crafts, good housekeeping, books, or any pet related topic, for example.

I agree op. Yanbu. Especially if someone dares to suggest benefit cheats. Complete overreaction and projection from the gang en masse. There are a few subjects where it is impossible to have a rational discussion.

It's not that I don't like confrontation or anything like that. It's just if you have a different option you are said to be trying to goad the others and everyone jumps on you. There are other parts that I adore in that if anyone needs something lots are willing to help which I think is lovely :)

I have seen an awful lot of threads with different opinions and no one 'jumps on' anyone else. Occasionally if a different opinion is emotive or seems damaging to a number of other posters they will all express that. I have seen threads where it is really hard to understand the stance taken by one poster against a consensus.

Sometimes a consensus is that for a reason.

SadMNer2 · 26/10/2013 15:58

Maybe I'm being a bit "sensitive" then having relapsed and had a shit week but I really would described it as jumping on another poster until they leave but like I said it is only some and not all. Other threads are totally lovely and really quite heart warming.
