I've noticed a ramping up of crazy on here over the last few days with some odd threads. Also more fratchy interactions on more balanced ones. AIBU that the queen's death has destabilised things a bit?
AIBU?
Period of mourning has sent some people batshit?

It isn't for you to decide
It isn't your place either

A mass grave has just been found recently liberated Isyum in Ukraine, early reports are suggesting it is going to equal those found in Bosnia. But no, we get Sue and Dave from Doncaster talking about the warm coats they have been wearing in a long queue.
News at Ten ran a story on Isyum last night. I’m not even a royalist but the ridiculous statements on here about being forced to watch news coverage or not daring to do anything other than watch the funeral on Monday are irritating me (not least because they’re generally accompanied by the sneering tone demonstrated above).
Oh well, back to my normal life where I’ve spent very little time discussing the queen’s death and have no idea what my friends will be doing on Monday.

Well it's a good job I never suggested anyone was 'forced' to watch the news coverage of the Queen, as mentioned above
@DillonPanthersTexas I quoted your post with reference to your comment about Isyum. Then moved onto a separate point about statements in general on here. Sorry you’re not as important as you think you are.

A curious take. You referenced the 'tone' of my quoted post in the very next sentence after Isyum! So not exactly moving on to an entirely separate point.
Don't worry, me striving for importance on a MN thread is not really a life goal of mine so no need for apologies.

The BBC is supposed to be impartial. It puts up a climate change denier every time it interviews a climate scientist for balance, FFS. Somewhere between a quarter and a third of the population are republicans - where is our balance? Why are our views not being given fair airtime by the national broadcaster?
