My personal favourite is currently "Disgusted at pps" who dare to disagree with me or "Nobody reads the FT" or maybe they have and still disagree?

In RL, most people meet a limited "range" of others, doctors will have many doctor friends and most schools are not very mixed socially. If schools are mixed socially, many parents hang out with similar other parents. Neighbourhoods are rarely very mixed, at least at micro-level, next door's lot are usually quite similar.

On MN, there is a huge variety of people so things that are unspoken rules in one's RL might not be so on here. It disturbs people to realises not everybody is just like them.

It disturbs people to realises not everybody is just like them.

It is disturbing. In fact, I felt tsunami level disturbed by your post.

paxillin · 20/03/2016 12:04

It doesn't disturb me to know people are not just like me. I bask in the knowledge they are wrong.

Ginslinger · 20/03/2016 12:52

what?? not everyone thinks the way I do? You're joking? Surely?

paxillin · 20/03/2016 13:50

That's why RL is easier than MN, Ginslinger. In RL, people don't usually say YABU, but do a non-committal u-hum instead. I then take said u-hum as enthusiastic agreement, they mean it as "whatever" or "fuck off" and we can all move on unharmed.

Lweji · 20/03/2016 14:18

Ginslinger
I feel appalled by your pearls and your clutching too.

Ginslinger · 20/03/2016 16:32

stop bullying me Lweji

paxillin · 20/03/2016 16:43

At this point, someone needs to agree with either Ginslinger or Lweji so I can call out "pack mentality".

Lweji · 20/03/2016 17:09

I hope you're thoroughly ashamed of yourselves. I've spent most of the afternoon crying literally tears of rage over your utterly vile posts.

paxillin · 20/03/2016 17:11

Feeling "hounded" yet?

Ginslinger · 20/03/2016 18:26

I phoned 101and they have logged it all
It's not just words on a screen!

ghostyslovesheep · 20/03/2016 21:56

you should have posted this in chat OP - people here are just vile twisted guttersnipes out to cause grief with no compassion or caring :( :(

I only post on here to make sweeping goady comments like that - because I am a nice person

Fuck sake ghosty and paxillin. You must had to post even though the tread had been quiet! Toady fuckers.

Toady fuckers are also known as goady fuckers... I totally meant that...

paxillin · 20/03/2016 23:05

You need to threaten a flounce now since you are no doubt in tears at the nastiness.

Lweji · 20/03/2016 23:13

Toady fuckers are even more vile (if this doesnt sound good it's because you can't get worse than vile) and disgusting than goady fuckers. I hear they're poisonous too. Like all you vilanous vipers.
