to look at posters' history on Mn

[norwaypet]

and not be at all surprised that the ones who come over all bolshie and angry on a few forums spend the majority of their time laying down the law on this AIBU forum .

They are the ones who are intolerant, like a rant and it spills over into every post they make....

What happened in the armed siege CatThief?

(I haven't searched you, I just remember your op from yesterday)

If you checked mine you would find mil rants and more than my two pennys worth in a few absent dad threads!

Que?

Who gives a shit?

I'd like to be able to AS the OP.

It's a bit off to start a thread slagging off other posters while hiding behind a NC.

If you report a post that might out to you people, can it be removed completely so that your username is gone as well, or does it always say eg 'message removed' with your name still there?

I remember reading a thread about you being temporarily banned EatShitDerek so the next time I saw you on a thread I AS you

I spent the next few hours pissing myself at all your posts until my gobshite husband told me to shut up and go to sleep

They haven't slagged off any individual though,surely a general observation is allowed?

Aye same here Del. Then I lose focus, need a fag, make a coffee and then press active convos by mistake and POOF.

MEMORY OF A GOLDFISH. Huh.

I'd be more inclined to take the OP seriously if she had a history.

Yes I do tend to read old threads when I AS someone. I sit there thinking oooh I remember that poster wonder where she went.

I agree usual
Not sure I can take anyone's opinion seriously if they're too cowardly to post stuff like this under their regular name.

I didn't know you could do that how?

You're also allowed to use your memory, right? I mean, it's not like switching from AIBU to Chat is a lengthy process - they're the same forum.

Not that I don't love the idea of us all taking on different identities across different subtopics on MN just to confuse the OP.

AHEM

What?

She started it

I don't think the OP is necessarily being cowardly. Maybe she wants opinions without posters bringing past grievances and baggage onto the thread. That's one of the reasons I namechange. There are some posters who just can't let things go.

If people were to bring inappropriate content on to the thread you can report it.

I stand by my assertion that name changing for this particular thread is an example of cowardice

I name changed once. I forgot the password.

And?

What are you supposed to use the AS function for if not to see whether it's an 'interesting first post' or one in a long line of goady OPs?

Some people never venture out of AIBU at all.
