to Hate/Love how repulsively bitchy MN is?

[Lucianne3]

I just can't stay away from AIBU....it's a more compulsive and shameful addiction than reading the Daily Mail online; same sense of barely-suppressed hatred and scorn, same vicious female bitchiness and judgemental outrage.

Happy New Year all of you...

Bolding is rude. Italics are more refined.

Sorry Jamie - I thought it was all the thing this week. LeQueen does it and everyfink

i only ever feel the love.

No need to apologise figrollin. Just my opinion

Do you mean MN in general, or just AIBU?
Because I have been posting on the beareavement section and I have to say they are some of the kindest, most dignified ladies I have ever encountered. However the AIBU threads scare me, hence first ever time responding to one!

So if you mean all of MN the YABU, if just AIBU then YANBU.

Abi you are right. We are lovely over in Behaviour/Development as well

embrace the fear Abi,pile in.aibu is best bit.most importantly no mn grudges,words on a screen and all that.because you can be vehemently disagreeing on one topic and all LOL on another post

scottishmummy - can I just take time out to say that i love your haiku-esque posting style. I imigine you are somewhat of a guru in RL.

Not sure I would encourage AbiAbi to pitch right in now though Scottishmummy, having read her incredibly sad thread yesterday. It's a great place when you are feeling a bit stronger though AbiAbi.

That didn't sound patronising did it AbiAbi? Sorry if it did.

Abi - you will be fine as long as you don't start an AIBU.

Except on an uncontroversial topic such as "AIBU or are kittens rather cute ?"

laughter is great therapy and stimulates endorphins.so yep pile in Abi.mirth is a great healer and distraction

jamie exactly! the trick is dont be the fuckwit op author

agree with scottishmummy-aibu is great so long as you dont hold grudges and realise that everyone has different opinions so you might not get the answer you want.

oh and it helps if like me youre very forgetful so cant remember whos been a meany to who

abi, you are right

some topics by their very nature are respectful

I also post on pg loss on occasion, and have never heard an unkind word

tis how it should be

AIBI is summink else though

No, no would never start one; or even pitch in for a while methinks; just read them to laugh, and think "Well at least I've got more to me than worrying about Cressida's schooling and the road tax for a 4x4";

you would have to be a headcase to take piss on more emotive topics

in general most are respectful.and those who digress are usually reprimanded

AF AIBI ? Am I being Ignorant ? Am I Being Incontinent ?
Am I Being Ignoble ? Am I being Irritable ? Am I being Immoral ?

aww shaddap jamie

sorry
