Stop with all the bloody reverse threads!

[Itsfab]

I have seen two today and neither needed to be reversed to give an impartial comment. You come across as a bit wet.

What have I missed? There are two threads about reverses and another with rules for AIBUs. Am I being spectacularly in observant today?

Perhaps mnhq could change the aibu guidelines to ban reverses.

Cooee! MNHQ can we have a reverse aibu ban please, because they make us grumpy and viperlike?

@Eeeeekyeeek

Can we have a ODFO smiley please? Just for reverse threads.

No.

Bah humbug. You're not fun at all Olivia

No.[/quote]

IN fact, for the record, you shouldn't be ODFO'ing ANYONE.
Peace and friffing love, people.

As for the ban request, that is something we'd need to have a think about so thanks for flagging.

We won't need the special ODFO smile if they were banned.
Not at all.

Can you at least give a very stern warning (and peer over your glasses at the same time)?

rustic reverseis when you write your post from the point of view of the other person, who would be asking if their actions were Unreasonable in light of your actions. Aiming to have them declared U, and by extension, you are then not U.

Clear as mud?

Momagain1 Ok....I think I get it. Makes my head hurt, but I understand ;) Fairenuff No lies, promise. Just answer a post nicely, then leave. Great, thanks! :D

I don't understand the point of reverses?

That's not a rhetorical question, I genuinely would like to know why people do them?

Vital - you've actually helped me out a bit with some of your comments! I have to name change very soon (possible outing situation) and I really didn't know what to do to not come across as a new poster!

Now I just need to work out how long I've been on MN

And feck knows what to do about stuff already under this name

Jolleigh - do mail us if there's anything we can help with

I've never understood the need for reverses either. They make my head hurt.

Reverses are a pain in the arse and why posters won't be upfront in the first place genuinely irks me.

Irk, I like that word!

'You shouldn't be ODFO'ing ANYONE'

Olivia this is mumsnet not nethuns!!! And you lot did create AIBU...

I think it's a form of trolling because their opening post is full of lies.

And, in the case of the two threads in question, both OPs are either new or nc and neither has come back to their thread. They have just posted a load of lies and left. If that's not trolling, what is?

and all round.
