To ask posters to read which topic a thread is in before replying...

[JuliaDream]

I was on a thread yesterday which was not in AIBU, hard to imagine I know.

Posters were replying YANBU or YABU.

MN is not just AIBU.

Thank you

Sorry, Purple.

If I posted in camping about my new tent, I wouldn't expect an AIBU escapee to tell me YABU for buying a tent instead of a caravan.

Hmm as someone who once accidently roared TAKE ME DOWN TO POTATO CITY! on a serious thread about assault I can't really agree. Shit happens. I'm a twat

It's not the abbreviation. It's the fact that every thread on here is treated like an AIBU thread.

I have to admit that I never check which section a thread is in. MAybe I should.

There's a Camping topic? I must have it hidden, I might have a look if anyone is being unreasonable about sleeping bags or something.....

always appreciated op, thanks. I've never seen any AIBU style replies except on this board. Is it a big problem? I suspect I've missed a thread somewhere else.

You can be unreasonable anywhere, any time, any place. Just because you didn't ask, doesn't make you reasonable.

Sorry I have already had too much wine, it is your camping thread you were talking about. Can understand why that would be annoying!

A 'YABU escapee'?

I'm seriously wondering where you've escaped from Lol

but we are allowed to say yanbu on this thread.

Camping is very lovely and calm.

There was a brief skirmish once about windbreaks.

Its not the abbreviation as such thats a problem imo.
Its when someone starts a thread in chat and it turns into a whole narsty business,and they just wanted,well,you know,a chat.
Its happened to me -gone bad,real quick,and suddenly I'm defending a throwaway comment in minute detail and getting all aggro'd.
And I can't just leave it.
And then I get all unreasonable,and it was never meant to be unreasonable.
And I'm the bad bugger.
Again

Chat is turning a bit nasty of late, as if the rage of aibu is spilling over. That's annoying.

yabu.

Can't find Camping, found The Great Outdoors though. Close enough.

I don't think the rules are made in a forum environment by someone saying "these are the rules"...

You can say YABU on this thread because it's in AIBU.

Had I posted it in chat, then no, YABU replies are not on.

Ok. sorry mum.

Those bastards from the weaning topic had better never darken the doors of chat and start posting 'BLW' everywhere.

If they do, I'll send them to you boss OP.

I was on the beach in Weymouth once and one family must have had about 10 windbreaks. They cordoned off a massive chunk of beach with them and pitched little sun tents and set up a barbecue. It was hilarious.

They were probably being a bit unreasonable. I was tempted to dig underneath one and see what happened.

sips, ahhhh. Knew I was missing something. I sometimes read the comments in the Guardian or the Independent the Mail . Like to think I can spot a Mumsnetter from time to time. There's a ... tone ... to some. (Ducks and gets flame retardant clothing out).

I like the idea of a brief skirmish about windbreaks.

I'm treating mn as a character building experience these days, we're a small section of the vox pop, just like the commenters on the DM, (hopefully).

You are obviously being unreasonable

I'm not sure why, but I'm sure I'll work it out in a bit.

Proper beaches don't need wind breaks. Just sayin'
