to wonder why my posts are nearly always ignored on MN? part 2

[brizzledrizzle]

Last thread filled up - anybody want to join a new chat thread?

I didn't join the last one for fear of being ignored, but I'll brave a wave 👋here.

Hello! How are you op?

Hi OP!

Hi :-)

All great here, just thought I'd see if people were up for carrying on the chat.

I'm ignoring this thread and not commenting on it because it looks like a boring and pointless thread.
Why would anyone with a brain bother with this thread?

Oh, I've commented so ignore the above. Well done brizzledrizzle for starting an interesting thread.

Hi, I'm very good at killing threads. Let's start a gang.

I had a thread whuch noone responded to a while back (was super dull so not surprising) so will join in here. What sort of things do you chat about?

No no - it’s me that kills threads! And I am always ignored. Even when I think I’ve made a really good point

@CarrieErbag

Hello.. I see you, hiding in the corner..

anything and everything under the sun.

Is this a TAAT?

Hello everyone. I have been on mumsnet a bajillion years but have never made any friends.
Sometimes I comment on a thread and no one responds, but later, someone else says the same thing and other posters say "good point" or whatever. I love that.

ILoveDolly I know how you feel. That happens to me as well. I find myself shouting "I said that". We'll be your friends. Welcome.

@Brizzle! Coo-eee, over here!

Thanks mrswhiplington

I had FIVE threads the other day where someone said EXACTLY what I had said and everyone piled in to say how they agreed with the OTHER POSTER.

I had a little sulk but no-one noticed.

@ILoveDolly happens to me - less in AIBU.

seems to be a common experience

I find the Telly Addicts thread a bit friendlier. I regularly watch a show and you get to know the names of everyone on there. We all enjoy a good moan about the plots.

The chocolate threads are nice friendly places be. I'm on both of the recent ones and have done lots of chocolate tasting

If there's a high drama thread happening in AIBU, relationships or Chat then it's very unlikely that a less juicy post will get many comments. It's almost as though it's unreasonable to post a thread when there's high drama happening elsewhere and the lack of comments is punishment for not obeying the etiquette of not very exciting thread posting That's why many people dramatise things and make them into an AIBU or a reverse. Sometimes I wish I could post a reverse as I want to try and see things from the other side of the argument. Obviously I realise this is unacceptable MN behaviour so I don't. But I want to.

@singlenotsingle no, it's not a TAAT. It's a continuation of a thread with the same name that filled up and so couldn't be posted on.

Please link to first thread. Thanks.

Hi brizzle! 😆

Thanks brizzle :-)) I'll have a good read of it after tackling the laundry pile!
