Why do people consult Mumsnet over every little thing of their life.

[Aeroflotgirl]

How did people get through life before mumsnet! You know that you don't have to consult Mumsnet over every little thing in your life . Examples include: i told a boy not to hit my ds in softplay AIBU, AIBU to refuse a tradesperson to use my toilet, omg a stranger ruffled my toddlers hair and I am bricking myself!

Flogging I have been on mumsnet for nearly 8 years, I used to be pigletmania until a year ago.

its my opinion like I have said before I have seen threads like this and it just smacks of lets have a laugh at other peoples expense

which is sad when many on here may ask question after question for many reasons maybe they are lonely, maybe they are in a place where they feel they need others to agree with them but their is always a choice to ignore these threads

and its aibu so not everyone having the same opinion is allowed

I have seen threads on here where people are worried about their health and do post, or like me I was worried about dd and her difficulties and was given great advice and directed to the SN board. I have seen people on here in horrific situations and states, yes you do get some threads where the op has said she is loney and has no friends and wants to talk. I was not referring to those. When I started this thread my intention was not to mock, and I honestly did not think of people out there who are lonely.

I think you do find people who are nit confident in themselves or their decisions who post on here because they really do not know what to do abd tgey want reassurance. Yes maby irl they don't have family near or many friends that they can talk to. My thread was not to mock anybody, just to see if anybody else noticed and yes just to chat. As it us before the festivities, it was meant to be a lighthearted type thread, when I was posting throught it was a pretty inocuous thread.

Nobody is perfect, I am a person behind this screen who has problems like everybody else. Enough talking here gave some more and [vino]

I meant

This thread is bizarre, has everybody been at the wine?

People are going to post what they want to post, and it's not always going to be what you think is worthy of posting about. Maybe they really want to ask the question and get answers, maybe they are posting more to just say something, anything, and get a few replies and have a chat.

I'm not sure how lighthearted this thread really is, if it's meant to laugh at people who post things you think are unnecessary. And wasn't the workman's toilet thread from a couple of years ago? It seems a bit odd to bring that particular one up now.

And I don't think FreudiansSlipper was saying you were not a regular OP, she was saying that she was saying she thought you were, so why would she report you as a troll?

Kick someone whilst they are down why don't you. How is it unpleasant! I don't see that, I am glad those who think that are in the minority, most on here can see the thread for what it is and what it was meant to be. I feel what was meant to be a fairly inocuous thread has transformed by some into an unpleasant thread, that is hypocritical!

fgs leave the op alone, it's pretty clear how she intented this thread!

what's so wrong with hiding if it offends you? i do think people are looking to be offended on mn alot of the time lately

for op just to pee off the last poster

How is it mean spirited, Private, I diden't mock anybody, I didn't use any offensive, racist, disablist, sexist language. If you don't like it, hide the thread and don't post. Can't we say anything inocuous without it being twisted and different slants put on it. Free speech and all that, this is a democratic forum unless you subscribe to the hive mind.

I think my lighthearted thread has pissed most of Mumsnet off south. Where in my op was I offensive, if you find it offensive please report.

Let Mumsnet HQ decide if its offensive,

Please point to me, where in my op was I mocking anybody, where was I laughing my ass off at people please highlight it, I would like to know, as I really just cannot see where.

Oh ok private yes its a democracy so yes everybody is entitled to their opinion. I could really understand if i was posting a thread making fun of people with different illnesses and disabilities and situation, but really I cant see where I have. Some are seeing things in my op that are not there and are over analysing, instead of reading the op.

cos we like having a good old chat.

OP I think the issue about what you meant by the thread has come up because first you said you were having a moan about people starting threads over every little thing and then you said it was lighthearted.

And now you are talking about 'free speech and all that' on a democratic forum. Which is exactly what the people you were moaning/being lighthearted about are also doing.

You've picked a very specific example with the tradesperson using the toilet thread, so it is like singling a particular poster out in that way. It's a thread that sticks in people's minds if they've been here long enough to have have read it when it was first posted, it's not something that people ask about on a regular basis so it doesn't really fit with the 'every little thing' bit in the way that the other issues you've quoted do, which are not so specific or memorable.

oh I was throwing those symbols yesterday as I was getting a good kicking from some. Rather like throwing meat to the Lions

Alice I was giving examples of threads that came to mind, there have been a few on here about tradespeople using the toilet. Where in this op, did I say I was moaning? People are seeing things in my op that are not there, and are twisting it.

Examples include: i told a boy not to hit my ds in softplay AIBU, AIBU to refuse a tradesperson to use my toilet, omg a stranger ruffled my toddlers hair and I am bricking myself!

Because people are putting their own slant to my op, instead of reading what it actually says, they are attacking me unecessarily.

It wasn't your first post, it was your subsequent post at 14:39 yesterday.

"Yes they do, no it's not the same, I am having a moan. There was one poster who was really upset as her toddler touched the toilet and posted in AIBU about it."

That one. Then a bit further down you said it was a lighthearted thread. I'm not twisting what you've said at all, I'm just saying that in different posts you have said different things that have given other people different impressions of your intentions with the thread.
