Whoops, just realised my nickname was spelt incorrectly !!!

Have namechanged for this thread as if you hadn't guessed

GhostWriter · 09/10/2009 19:01

Yes YABU. AIBU is just Flamers Anonymous differently titled.

wheredidiputmyfone · 09/10/2009 19:01

Is it from the 'bap' thread per chance? I could be wrong

TheFallenMadonna · 09/10/2009 19:02

I just don't get this "it's my opinion and I insist on stating it, but if you have an opinion about my opinion you can just keep it to yourself" nonsense.

If you were the person who compared breast feeding women to Frisian cows and to your breasts as your partner's "toys", then you are being VERY unreasonable!

southeastastra · 09/10/2009 19:03

yabu for bu that posting on aibu can cause some people to feel that they are in fact, bu

BoysAreLikeDogs · 09/10/2009 19:03

what is this bap thread of which you speak?

ThoroughlyFedUp · 09/10/2009 19:05

wheredidiputmyfone - Nope, not the "bap" thread (interested to see this though !!

seeker - No, that wasn't me either !

southeastastra - Whoa! you have just lost me with your post

ThoroughlyFedUp · 09/10/2009 19:06

Thats what I wanna know BALD !!

wheredidiputmyfone · 09/10/2009 19:06

I posted it earlier

BoysAreLikeDogs · 09/10/2009 19:07

However YABU for starting a thread about a thread. tsk tsk.

ThoroughlyFedUp · 09/10/2009 19:08

TheFallenMadonna - That's exactly it. The particular thread in question was full of people who all agreed with each other, then I come along with a slightly different opinion (not even offensive, just my side of the story so to speak), and all hell broke loose

Pardon me for breathing

boolifooli · 09/10/2009 19:08

You've gotta love the AIBU board. You could think of the most water tight thread and it would still get picked apart.

ThoroughlyFedUp · 09/10/2009 19:09

Thanks WDIPMF, gonna have a look through that in a sec

Sorry BALD

preggersplayspop · 09/10/2009 19:09

Oooh a guessing game, you have an aunt who bf for 4 years? Do I win?

wheredidiputmyfone · 09/10/2009 19:09

Awww you've got to tell us which one now, else we can't sit in judgement of you

itchyandscratchy · 09/10/2009 19:10

that's what you get for venturing into AIBU territory... tbh i only go there if I'm feeling hard and belligerant

ThoroughlyFedUp · 09/10/2009 19:12

Well, that didn't last long....preggers wins !!

Morloth · 09/10/2009 19:13

Tell you what does make me roll my eyes.

All the threads lately whining about AIBU. Is there some sort of rule I missed where you have to post/read a board you are not enjoying?

SmokingKnickers0nMahead · 09/10/2009 19:14

YABU for starting a thread about a thread but you shouldn't get flamed for having an opinion and stating it. Tell 'em to feck off.

ThoroughlyFedUp · 09/10/2009 19:15

I'm not whining Morloth, just fed up with not being able to voice an opinion without getting absolutely hammered for it.

People seem to think that AIBU gives them the right to have a go at other people, when in fact, it is about giving opinions, not slating each others opinions.

Tortington · 09/10/2009 19:15

yabvu - no one is allowed an opinion in aibu

ThoroughlyFedUp · 09/10/2009 19:16

Why AIBU for starting a thread about a thread ?? Is that a rule of MN ? Sorry, haven't been a member for long.

bibbitybobbityCAT · 09/10/2009 19:16

Yanbu. Disgraceful wilful misinterpretation of what you actually said + determined offence-taking + lots of silly hysterical ranty shouting going on over there. Yanbu at all.

ThoroughlyFedUp · 09/10/2009 19:17

Well I think you're wrong custardo, only ONE person is allowed to have an opinion in AIBU......me !!
