yeah but proper English (for those of you pedants, not mentioning any names, hunkermunker), dictates that you should say

"You are not being unreasonable", rather than "you aren't being unreasonable"

So its YABU, or YANBU.

Ah, but who uses Proper English on AIBU threads, the lowest form of thread on MN, scorned by most reasonable, well-educated posters?
