AIBU to be annoyed when I make a really good point on a thread

and then it's ignored, and either I have to repeat it, or then someone else comes and makes exactly the same point and everyone goes "oh yes, that's quite clever" "what a good and inciteful point" and so on. Maybe I should just type in caps?
So, AIBU?

OP, YABU.

On the other hand, I find it really annoying when I make a good point then it's ignored, and either I have to repeat it, or then someone else comes and makes exactly the same point and everyone goes "oh yes, that's quite clever".

Lady It has gone very deja vu and self-referential on here.

GibbonInARibbon · 03/12/2009 17:16

pag you often make me laugh, I always feel a bit weird saying 'oh that really made me lol' incase I look like a stalkeresque type poster.

This is like therapy, I am getting all deep and meaningful now.

My mum trod on my beloved hamster when I was 8 (accident of course) it was a family trauma we have never forgotten.

And there's jamie and her hamster gags [glare]

tethersend · 03/12/2009 17:17

Jamie- does your DS stick his fingers up his bum at all?

pagwatch · 03/12/2009 17:18

and Rofl at Knownowt

GibbonInARibbon · 03/12/2009 17:18

Infact I may flounce over this.

tethersend · 03/12/2009 17:18

I mean I'm very sorry for your loss.

(See what you mean, pagwatch... )

Jamieandhismagictorch · 03/12/2009 17:19

tether FGS - that's how the hamster died. I cannot believe your insensitivity. I am going to report your last post.

santaschristmascakeywakey · 03/12/2009 17:19

One of my friend's hamsters had a hysterectomy. She took it v seriously, I just couldn't

GibbonInARibbon · 03/12/2009 17:20

Oh it's been far too long since I enjoyed such a surreal and fun thread.

GibbonInARibbon · 03/12/2009 17:21

rofl santa, really?

santaschristmascakeywakey · 03/12/2009 17:23

Oh yes Gibbon. Mad, but true

bibbitybobbityhat · 03/12/2009 17:23

Jamie - you need to start a thread about your hamster. Lots of people will post on it (seriously) - there are regulars on the dead hamster threads you know. That's one of my favourite places to hang out.

BitOfFun · 03/12/2009 17:25

Did the hamster get a Viking burial at sea?

GibbonInARibbon · 03/12/2009 17:25

All my hamsters met an awful end, one was killed by a valentines card (I kid you not)

Jamieandhismagictorch · 03/12/2009 17:28

bibbity I lied about the hamster (for comic effect). That makes me a Troll, right ?

The hamster threads sound fun though.

My friend's two "female" hamsters managed to produce babies yesterday. So it looks like one of them is for the chop too santa

GibbonInARibbon · 03/12/2009 17:28

sadly no BoF, more of a makeshift cardboard coffinesque type thing for each of them.

Now I lament the passing of a Viking burial opportunity.

pagwatch · 03/12/2009 17:29

I have to go but will search dead hamster threads tomorrow.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 03/12/2009 17:29

BitofFun Who are you ? Are you a DM journalist ?

GibbonInARibbon · 03/12/2009 17:31

RL beckons here too, bye pag, bye all.

BitOfFun · 03/12/2009 17:33

It would be a great career move- an excuse to stay here fulltime...

bibbitybobbityhat · 03/12/2009 17:37

Oh yes Jamie I see . Getcha.

Still, I stand by what I said about the dead pets threads. You get a nice class of poster over there. Usually (not always) the swearing and insult-hurling takes a back seat for a while.
