To think there's more appropriate ways to communicate with one person than to start an AIBU thread?

[mm22bys]

Try using the phone, or email, or FB in future...

Or are you just after attention?

Who you on about?

who you torkin about?

also, this is a bit ironic, no?

AIBU to think that one should tackle the poster on the offending thread instead of trailing disagreements around the boards and starting threads about threads grrrr

Get a grip

eh?

No it's not ironic because I am not hoping one particular person is going to notice this...

Acually no, maybe I should have posted on Site Stuff, to ask there if it's ok to direct a MN thread to one particular person.

Thanks for the idea!

Right-O, so what are we respinding to then? YABU but only because i cannot fathom what the fuck you're on about!

i know that I'm blonde but I don't get this thread

Oh my word are you in a fighty mood OP?

I think I know what thread you are talking about but cannot for the life of me figure out why you've got your knickers in a twist about it.

Unless it's an offensive thread then take a chill pill!

so you are starting AIBU thread about unknown poster hoping they specifically reply?why

if you know them why don't you try using the phone, or email, or FB in future...

Linky linky

Good post, ScottishMummy

Of course it ok to direct an mn thread at one particular person unless it's to say "oi I think you're a knob"
in which case that's bad form.

No, ScottishMummy, that is not what I wanted to do, and I wouldn't personally use AIBU in that way, but I was wondering if it is not U to direct an AIBU thread at a particular person (ie putting their name in the thread title...).

ScottishMummy, that is exactly my point (your last point about phone, email, etc), and why I started the thread!

OP, tackle the person directly

should work, instead of pissing around with these indirect bollocks

but does it matter though?? really??? i don't get where you are coming from?????

Right, well if you're talking bout the Pinkchampagne/Pinkbubble thread, then yes, YABFU.

Jeez, they are chatting away with other people as well - s'not like they're keeping it exclusive. It's nice to have chat threads on here and so what if it's in a certain topic?

Jeez, there's no limit to the number of threads we can start you know? It's not like their using up our 'quota' or summat.

Go and brew up for Christ sake. Take a break.

And again I post....Pot.Kettle.

There have always ben threads on MN which are just chatting between two or three people - normally the thread tite gives it away.

Why on earth would it bother anyone?

Just don't read it if you don't want to!

well,i think it is bit cliquey to start a specific thread for named person on an open forum.unless it is about a specific thing eg Pram trading.hey hun have you posted my phlegm coloured bugaboo yet

smacks of the ole "oi my NBF come over here..." that used to go on

snigger

I've seen loads of "private" convos before, but not one in AIBU.

I'll know now to expect more of it here
