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?

What's a better alternative to 'you sound charming' etc? Hide thread possibly?

I suppose not to say anything about the OP, just to discuss the issue.

Everything we post is just our opinion, isn't it

Because when you're being derogatory pointing out someone's failings it's better to make it clear that you think they sound entitled/precious/lovely/whatever in , otherwise you sound like you're a twat making a generalised statement on behalf of everyone on the thread.

Radical idea Elizabeth.

IMO obviously

I'm another who cannot stand HTH - makes me rage full!

Mostly when the Op sounds like a right charmer they have asked for opinions....

Do we really have to be a forum of stepford posters?

I mean I'm not down with personal attacks, but it seems we can't say anything a bit snarky without it being frowned upon or 'peace and love folks'.

Oh i would prefer MASSES of PAs rather than the trigger happy thing atm

but its like school uniform, do it properly or don't do it at all

People who cannot engage in the real argument and just attack others personally tend to shoot themselves in the foot by doing so.

How about 'you are not exactly covering yourself in glory yourself'?

could we have one thread where anyone who comes on it is ready to be attacked

we could call it 'attack zone' then just slag each other off

Great! What will the thread title be?

Sorry thought 'Attack Zone' would be the topic. With sub topics for different attack types...

Somebody always feels compelled to offer "you clearly don't like him/ her/ them very much".

Sometimes that is the impression given, but often it's just sneery especially when the op is seeking advice on a teen/ pre teen child or stepchild or close family member who is causing them stress but who they are duty bound to love, even if they dislike the way they are behaving. ..

Some people are such twats though that I consider it community service to tell them....

I am currently loving "oh give your head a wobble" though. Obviously said in Mickey Flannagan's voice.

It covers entitlement/twattery/PFBness and, in the right context, the sheer bonkersness that can appear at the weekend.

Great! What will the thread title be?

'Sparklingbrook is a slag'

AuntieStella I think the smugness that riddles with it is what annoys me

LOVE toddlermomz giving teenagermomz advice

its generally ALWAYS shit

( was very obvious on the keeping your marriage divorce proof' thread)

Elizabeth. I will look out for it and call you a meanpants.
