AIBU?? Is this taking the piss?

[TesticleMeElmo]

Right, bit of a rant here but hear me out. Our DD is 4 next week, so we're having a party on Sunday for her. We've hired a hall, got the nibbles sorted, and invited everyone she wants and a fair few family members and their children as well. Apart from the fact that it's taken best part of a sodding month for anyone to rsvp, I'm now suddenly getting messages galore asking 'Are parents staying or are we just dropping off?'
Surely this is ridiculous?? I wouldn't DREAM of leaving DD at a party free for all with roughly 40 other kids that she's unlikely to know many of (we have a large family) while she's so young. Is this a thing now? What if they need the toilet?? What if they break themselves? What if they break someone else?? What if they're being horrible little shits and need to be told off??! Am I right in thinking they just want an afternoon of free childcare while they bugger off and do something that's actually fun? How old were yours when you left them?

Ifeelcrap.....Oh...So it's ok for you to tell people to get off a thread then? I thought nobody was the thread police....that means you too surely? You have openly and clearly said get off the thread, i did not. I asked you to go away and leave me alone. I am trying to be considerate of your mental health, by saying i am not going to correspond with you anymore. You are upsetting me, when i only came on to join the thread and say what it is like in my area. You have explained your mental health, and i am taking this into account and do not want this to go on and on. To be fair, i had already posted my thoughts about sucking it up before your thread came up....It was a cross post. if there are other people you want to talk to on here, feel free. Goodbye.

I didn't tell you to go away. You told me to go away.

I was explaining that AIBU is known to be the bunfighty bit of MN because you said every thread you were on turned into a bunfight so I was just pointing out that this is a bunfighty section so maybe bear that in mind if you post on a thread.

And maybe think about stopping posting using ellipses at the end of your posts, and just use full stops. I don't know how they come across to others, but they make me feel as if you are condescending and rather sneery, which may not be your intention at all (but I already said that it may be how you express yourself in the written word)

Sarah....I post on MN most days, so feeling bullied in a minority if cases (3/4) is possibly normal, especially when people have said aibu is the bunfight bit of MN?

Ifeelcrap...You said quote....Get off this thread and go elsewhere?! Please stop telling me what to do. If i want to put a full stop, or question mark at the end of a sentence, i can do. This in itself is bullying. Please stop it. You are not coming across very well.

You have used lots of funny faces at the end of yours...But i have not asked you not to do so.

Mumzypops she wasn't tellng you to 'get off this thread', she meant that you telling her to 'go away' was telling her to 'get off this thread'.

No, I use mn way too much daily, and I've never felt bullied, or called anyone a bully, I mean never, in about 7 years, so its not usual, no.

Question marks should not make people think you are being sherry, it is a question. The only other thing i may have used at the end of a post is an exclamation mark. Again, hopefully that shouldn't make people feel i am being sherry. If so, sirry.

Not sherry, sneery.

I know I have MH issues, but I'm not thick and to me, go away means, well, go away. Get off this thread and go elsewhere.

Go away means get off this thread and go elsewhere.

that face means confused. It's not laughing at you.

Sarah...It can be read both ways. I thought she was telling me to get off the thread.

You're using ellises. Not full stops. Of course you can do it if you like, just as I can put confused faces. I merely said be mindful of how it might make you come across.

You put...Full stop..Get off this thread and go elsewhere.

If you didn't mean it that way fine. I read it that way. Surely that's worse than an question mark. A funny face does insult some people by the way. .It makes them think they are being laughed at and condescending. Perhaps you aren't perfect either.

*ellipses

I'm not telling you to get off the fucking thread. You told me to. That's what "go away" means.

For. Fucks. Sake.

And ellipses are rude. They come across as a haughty sneer at the end of a post. To me. That is how they come across.

I didn't laugh at you. I used the confused face which is in the smiley list down there to the lower left of the preview message button.

Sheesh.

What is an ellise? Must Google it

Mumzypops i know it's not the done thing to recall someone's previous posts, but your posts on the golliwog thread (saying there is nothing wrong with them) were offensive and also when you claimed hundreds of school kids are being excluded for racial harassment every year, when the truth was they were suspended. You urged an OP not to report a racist incident in case it ruined the child's life in later years.

When people challenged you on these threads, you accused everyone of bullying you.

Oh for goodness sake. I never said I was perfect.

You have a weird world view if you think that.

Please stop using ellipses at me. I think it's rude. You have asked me to stop using the MN smileys and I have. Please show me the same consideration.

I corrected my spelling right away.

That's what

*ellipses

Means.

Bloody hell. Nasty, much?

The face is not nice, i did not like it. It comes across as condescending. You said quote get off this thread and go elsewhere. That can be read two ways. Notice you haven't apologised for that.

What is an ellipse

I apologise that you didn't read the MN Smiley list and misread my post.

Sarah.....So?! I'm not going to trawl through yours. Aren't you being a bully now?!

So because i don't know what an ellise/ ellipse us, I'm nasty?
