Why do people keep moaning about it? - I love it!

If you don't like it hide the bleedin' thing, or even easier, just don't read any of the threads - there's 100's of other sections to moan about!

And if they do we'll blame Harold. Grin

There's some boys already behind the bike shed

Vintagejazz · 10/07/2014 23:49

Shit. They fancy Harold. They like rebellious types Sad

No Vintage, it isn't. That's what I'm saying. There's some definite double-standards though... also not nice.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 10/07/2014 23:53

Maryz... I think it was aimed at ALL of AIBU. I don't remember everything about the thread but it was a 'pile in' job as they always seem to be and almost everybody was a 'cunt'.

I realise I'm on my own here but is there a worse name to call somebody?

Vintagejazz · 10/07/2014 23:55

But the only double standards on here that I'm seeing Witch are Sienna's posts, being snide about other posters while stating she disapproves of nastiness.

Staywithme · 10/07/2014 23:55

Why do I feel like a goader is that word? just by reading this thread? I was reported and had a thread deleted within a couple of weeks of joining, so there! Does that mean I'm a goader or a troll? This is all so confusing. Sad

HaroldLloyd · 10/07/2014 23:57

I don't know stay I am mightily confused. To be on the safe side you'd better report yourself and have a hot shower.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 10/07/2014 23:59

Vintage... Do you see no similarity from Sienna's posts to threads started/posted on, to call multiple people 'cunts', without naming the erstwhile posters who've caused the furore? I see it as exactly the same thing and yes, it's annoying whoever does it.

Vintagejazz · 11/07/2014 00:01

I don't think this thread was started to call multiple people 'cunts'. And the word 'cunt' was used to describe a certain type of poster but not directed specifically at a certain group of posters as Sienna's was.

It's a bit difference.

Vintagejazz · 11/07/2014 00:02

BIG difference, I meant.

Staywithme · 11/07/2014 00:02

Thank you Harold, I think I'd better use carbolic soap and a wire brush, to be on the safe side.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 11/07/2014 00:02

No, not THIS thread. The myriad others... and there are many.

Fair enough. But how does that excuse Sienna's posts on here?

Vintagejazz · 11/07/2014 00:04

Can I blame Harold for the Garth Brooke concerts being cancelled here in Dublin? We need someone to blame.

HaroldLloyd · 11/07/2014 00:05

I've not seen a thread specifically aimed at a small group of posters. AIBU is huge. I have seen threads aimed at it as a topic, but going onto a thread where a few people are singled out or inferred as being nasty or whatever is different.

That was my fault.

I goaded him so much he couldn't sing no more.

All sections have people bitching about something stupid and pointless. I think AIBU is more of a symptom than a cause.

Mumsnet is full of sleep deprived hormonal mothers. I think bitchiness and irrational hysteria are to be expected. :)

Staywithme · 11/07/2014 00:06

Not general cunts.

Is it just me or did anyone else just picture a General Cunt in uniform?

Vintagejazz · 11/07/2014 00:08

Well I blame Harold and Barack in equal portions. In fact I also blame Queen Elizabeth and the Pope.
