to think that AIBU threads which start "to ask you..." should be banned?

[MardyBra]

Yes. I'm still on my thread-policing high horse.

But if someone is "asking you", then they are just posting here for traffic.

YANBU! At all. Those ones really grate. Just post in the right topic!

"AIBU to ask you all to recommend a steam mop/eyeshadow/primary school in kent?"

Yes, yes you are!

And so what if they are? YABVU.

And ones that start AIBU that?.

Grammer mattars dontchano?

Milk. Because it reeks of queue-jumping and bad etiquette to me. And irks my sense of fair play.

What about spelling Chaos? [wunk]

I always ignore them, as they're dull.

This irritation about AIBU is highly entertaining though. I wonder when somebody is going to pop up on a thread to bitch about where it's been posted

Yes chaos!

"AIBU that a car has blocked my drive?"

I just wish more people would use Active Convos and hide unwanted topics. Then there wouldn't be this over reliance on one section of MN.

Perfect example, Suze!

Wunkbackatya, Mards.

I am very tempted to spam Aibu with a whole load of inane/dull threads just to demonstrate how annoying it is.

YANBU.

Aibu to ask what colour is fashionable on toenails this summer?

Yes, you are. It'll probably just be nude beige anyway.

I do occasionally report threads to MNHQ. (Yes. I'm that sad). In the olden days they used to move them. The last reply I had was

"We're going to let it stand on the AIBU board because she has posted it as an AIBU question - sorry!"

So, basically, it's a free-for-all. You can post whatever inane shit you like.

Mind you, I've just noticed the home ed thread starts 'to ask you..." think that one qualifies as a bunfight though.

I will delete mine if you like. I wasn't meaning to queue jump. I meant it as a genuine AIBU. I used the To Ask You format. Why be so passive aggressive you have to start a thread? I'm happy to delete it if I've broken some sort of etiquette rule. I've posted in AIBU for a long time and not ever noticed this.

Honestly I find the thread/grammar police much more annoying. I really don't see why it matters.

And I posted it in AIBU because this is where I see people complaining the most about this sort of thing. You don't need to friggin report the post or go all cats bum on a separate thread about it.

Just ASK me to move it and I will! I'm a normal human being you can talk to :)

I don't know which thread is yours, I'm afraid, Nyn

I'm not singling you out and certainly not being passive or aggressive btw.

This one Mardy Bra :)

Yes.

Except for the Scottish thread, which rocks.

Surely this thread is just as wrong.

You are not unreasonable to think what you like but, personally, I think that the thread and grammar police should just butt out.

Ah ok then MardyBra! I just saw you had posted this not that long after mine. Coincidence then! Anyway as said happy to remove/delete if asked :)

Nope. Missed that Nyn. It was three hours ago.
