Saying 'You sound a real charmer' or 'You sound really nice' on threads

[ElizabethHoover]

its never going to move things along is it? It this a personal attack?

yes, though people call people what they want on here now. it's a free for all

the 'you sound 'unhinged'' is lesser spotted these days though

I've seen some people say some really horrible things recently

Going beyond bluntness to exceptionally rude for no reason - out of the blue too

i loved unhinged wistful
so many mumsnetters are ravingly er.. unique

I'm beginning to hate the 'just a thought' which seems to be cropping up a lot. Normally by someone on a very long thread which they clearly haven't read.

this is where I think getting the I out of AIBU would be good

it should be
is this unreasonable...thereby making people stick to the topic.

It's up there with the rest of the "you sound precious/entitled/mad as a box of frogs etc". What the "you sound" poster should be doing, of course, is using their I statements - e.g. "I think you sound" etc, because unless they've checked with everyone else on the thread and confirmed that is indeed what 'you' sounds like, it's their opinion and nothing else.

I agree it's pa. yanbu. I'd like to add a couple if I may.
What a prince/charmer/catch- when said about someone's dh/p.

There aren't so many or directions to grip shops or offers of spare grips anymore. I miss them

God, the 'entitled' thing is just so dull and tiresome.

Yes, it's (usually) an insult.

If you've seen it on a thread, report it as a personal attack and it'll be deleted.

Then again, when said in response to a poster who has just been horrible about the attractiveness of overweight women I'd quite like to see it stand.

(wonders if this thread is a specific TAAT, and if I've made the right assumption about the back reference)

Does anyone actually ever post on AIBU and think they have been unreasonable though?

threads about ONE of H's annoying habits always make them sound a nobber dont they?

and the more you say ' he is really nice!" the more mad YOU sound.

I once had one about my h losing his rag with some teens on a long haul flight. It was a funny interchange were i think he threatened to tear them limb from limb if they knocked his seat back again and MN was Not Amused.

me ' hes really nice" in a small voice throughout

kind of stella - but its everywhere.
IMO that post should just have been reported

'where' not were

I love the 'grip shop directions', but I hate 'cool wives', it makes me itch with rage!

Yes, no-one gets handed grips anymore, do they? I bloody hate the "you sound nice" comments particularly as they seem to be reserved for people who actually sound perfectly OK, just in a bit of a tizz for whatever reason.

i dont get cool wives

i DO get cool moms

It is a bit pissy, but then again, AIBU would be pretty bland if it were all full of reasoned, non-confrontational posts.

I hate HTH at the end of a really sarcastic comment where someone genuinely needs help

YES A MOMENtary bip with a mate or a sister

' some kind of sister/mate YOU are'

HTH is normally sarcastic on MN.

Not nice when it's used outside AIBU.

It's up there with the rest of the "you sound precious/entitled/mad as a box of frogs etc". What the "you sound" poster should be doing, of course, is using their I statements - e.g. "I think you sound" etc, because unless they've checked with everyone else on the thread and confirmed that is indeed what 'you' sounds like, it's their opinion and nothing else.

Everything we post is just our opinion, isn't it. Why do we need to make that point on every post?

(Just my opinion)

I miss the old days, when it was a quick "On yer bike mate!"
