To be completely p***ed off for being flamed in AIBU for having an opinion ????

[ThroughlyFedUp]

Well, am I ???

Wasn't the breastfeeding one was it by any chance?

Unless you think it's perfectly normal to BF until the kid is sitting the 11plus then never, ever post on a BF thread. they are all mental.

Thank you bibbity !!! Glad someone can see it that way.....finally

LOL @ Nancy66

i think YANBU for wanting it to be a bit more rational - some people just use it to vent their more negative emotions in public space and get personal way too quickly towards people who ahve merely expressed an opinion, rather than attacked a person.

on the other hand YABu if you ask AIBU? and aren't prepared to take it on the chin i other people say, well actually YABU.

No Morloth. The op posted on a thread. She was roundly slated (unfairly imo as it happens). She didn't wade in to an ongoing bitchfest all guns ablazing. Why shouldn't she post an opposing opinion? She wasn't being provocative she was just trying to contribute.

I'll take that on board Nancy66 & won't EVER post on a BF thread again.....I suppose we all have to learn by our mistakes!

Oh PLEASE. I post on BF threads and I am not mental. Any more sweeping generalisations today?

I post on BF threads.

I am a bit mental

Fuck - I'm out of here before Sabire comes along with her pie charts.

I agree with you Edgar about posting in AIBU when you are not prepared to take it when someone says yes YABU.

But that's not what happened. I innocently posted on a thread and didn't slag off anyone's opinion or anything, and then got flamed for it, so I was not actually the one asking AIBU in the first place.

Therefore, AIBU ??

YABU for posting a new thread.

Deal with it on the thread in question.

Can I join you Nancy66 ??

FAB, I have tried dealing with it on the thread in question.

See for yourself.

A new thread about a thread where you have your arse handed to you is whining. Suck it up or argue on the thread, starting a new one just looks a bit sad.

The message deleted by Mumsnet was actually the first message attacking me

Well, how about you take your own advice then Morloth, and don't join in this thread then if that's how you feel.

op;

are you new..?

get over it...and don't start threads about threads.

This is exactly what I'm talking about though......people who feel they can be rude to others for absolutely no reason.

If I don't like a thread, I don't post on it, simple !!! I don't go out of my way to be rude & tell people they are "sad" or to "get over it"

I didn't start a thread about this thread.

Most people who post on BF threads are overly influenced by hormones, imo.

If those threads were restricted to people whose children are aged 7 and over, thered be a lot less aggro flying around, and we could probably all agree that our children turned out fine however we fed them.

ha ha
you said it Nancy

No, you didn't, but you did say:

"Is there some sort of rule I missed where you have to post/read a board you are not enjoying?"

So, if you are not enjoying this thread, then please do not post !

but op, you have started a thread in AIBU..

i think you are being unreasonable

Is it not possible to politely explain to newcomers that (for as yet unexplained) reasons the convention on Mumsnet is not to start a thread about a thread.

Cos you see I think comments like this:

"are you new..?

get over it...and don't start threads about threads."

and

"A new thread about a thread where you have your arse handed to you is whining. Suck it up or argue on the thread, starting a new one just looks a bit sad".

are plain downright utterly bitchy.

It's ok nighbynight, I'm gonna steer clear of the BF threads from now on.
