does everyone get so wound up by it.

honestly. i have seen so many threads where the Op has come on and said "yes i know. i am being unreasonable" and omcpletly agreed with the rest of the posters and yet there are still people who insist on getting very shouty.

why does what someone else think make some of you get so uppity?

me thinks you need to get out more.

are you in a mood today, mamazon?

Amapoleon · 04/02/2009 10:42

It's the nature of the beast

Mamazon · 04/02/2009 10:44

no. i think im in an alternate universe where only i can see my posts.

some people really don't read what you post at all do they? they just jump on board being all shouty because they have misunderstood what your actually trying to say.

but i am enjoying the attempts at insults.

the thing is though Amapoleon, its the people who are responding that i can imagine sitting there hammering away at the keyboard all angry and annoyed.

I had forgotten i posted this last night until i logged in to threads im on. you can see how much it bothers me.

but some posters really do get very fired up. i don't knwo where they find teh energy

HecateQueenOfGhosts · 04/02/2009 10:46

compo · 04/02/2009 10:46

Mamazon · 04/02/2009 10:47

yabu, by that stupidly long title!

Mamazon · 04/02/2009 10:48

compo- although my own thread inspired this one, it is something i have noticed a lot lately.

Most people only read the OP and skim or ignore the rest. It doesn't matter how many times the OP can pop back up and say "you're right, I'm wrong, I've reconsidered etc", it won't get seen. Or at least not registered.

nancy75 · 04/02/2009 10:51

are you talking about the wedding dress? haven't read the thread but am guessing it was slightly tongue in cheek anyway?
people just like to be angry, leave them to it

You are never unreasonable, Mamazon, just delightfully cranky some days...I think you are right and have just spotted a gap in the MN market

tootiredtothink · 04/02/2009 11:48

I had to leave the thread as just wanted to ask who your sil used to be on here, and felt it would be bad form to ask.

However, on this thread............

Mamazon · 04/02/2009 12:02

she had about 5 incarnations and annoyed people within a couple of days with each one. i think she finally gave up about 6 months ago.

i think one was verysweatybetty or something...can't remember the others though

tootiredtothink · 04/02/2009 19:59

Thanks Mamazon, I can sleep now .

I assume she knew you were here too?

"I shall be the new cod and only arrive to piss everyone off. it'll be fun. i clearly already have the nack" Mamazon on Wed 04-Feb-09 10:47:54

ummm. nope doesn't work like that you don't nominate yourself popular and everyone says "oh okay then".you cant jump up and down proclaiming yourself to be new cod,or any other mammal poster

nor is it about a few spelling mistakes

you are trying too hard
instead of emulating someone else
be yourself,see what happens

let your posts speak for themselves
not of someone else

ssd · 04/02/2009 20:35

Mamazon, I guess you started this thread in answer to you starting another thread where you called your SIL a chav for buying a wedding dress from BHS?

maybe you need to get out more

DrowningInClutter · 04/02/2009 20:36

There is the opposite situation where people are really convinced they're not being unreasonable and only post so they can have this confirmed. They then get really, really upset when people tell them that actually they are BVU.

Somehow it seems to surprise people that no matter how R their stance is there will always be someone who finds it VVU.
