for a fortnight at Christmas and for them to have come back having gained a huge new Abercrombie & Fitch wardrobe and 4kgs apiece?

It does sound rather like a playground bully saying "I didn't mean it, I was just joking", doesn't it,WhoIsAsking

Bonsoir · 07/01/2010 15:59

I haven't lost my self-control once on here - I haven't attacked anyone, and I have only talked about myself. I put myself up for a public stoning to see what happened. OK, I quite understand that it is unpleasant for those of you who let rip to think that. But don't you think AIBU is not a civilised place for a site like MN?

Sorry Anna, it just seems like dreadful attention seeking.

Lizzylou · 07/01/2010 16:00

Do you know I was thinking about this thread and about how nasty it had got (I reported a comment which was deleted, the cheating DP digs were out of order) during my 1 1/2 hour snow trek to pick up the boys....
Now I see we've been Lab Rats???

If you post deliberately provocative comments in order to insult people, of course things will get heated, Anna. Especially if you are coldly sitting there at your PC knowing that you are only playing with people and tailoring your posts for maximum effect.

WhoIsAsking · 07/01/2010 16:00

There is an element of that TheBoss but also an element of "Fuck, I've taken it too far, and been called on it "

Bonsoir · 07/01/2010 16:00

Oh come on WhoIsAsking, "bewildered"? Please...

I said this was all shite. You are so transparent Anna. I truly do feel sorry for you and hope you get the help you need.

LillianGish · 07/01/2010 16:03

Sounds to me like you are just trying to wriggle out of your fairly offensive viewpoint (re dp's ex-wife and your "overweight" dsss). Noone came out to support you so you are now claiming it was a troll - too similar to previous posts for me to believe that (or is everything you post a troll?)

TheBossofMe · 07/01/2010 16:03

The loss of self control was in creating this thread in the first place.

MrsSchadenfreude · 07/01/2010 16:04

(where Anna shops.)

And shuffles off home to Parisian life which is completely unlike anything on this thread! Friends who ask you what you weigh? I'd tell them to fuck off!

Bonsoir · 07/01/2010 16:04

Only the naïve should post in AIBU, perhaps? If you know what you are doing, abstain?

I find AIBU a useful forum for getting all round advice on controversial issues. Many posters put a lot of thought into their responses and it is fantastic/fascinating to hear so many peoples experiences. Still, I have been called a troll more than once and shot down for causing of offense. You definitely have to be able to roll with the punches and not get drawn in to back biting - that can be difficult sometimes.

WhoIsAsking · 07/01/2010 16:06

Ahahah!

You carry on Bonsoir. Carry on because you might fool some, but you don't fool me. You said some pretty nasty stuff yourself didn't you? Go on and have a read back, you might be surprised at how venomous some of your posts were. To now say "I am a crusader against the evils of AIBU - That's right a CRUSADER" is pretty lame.

Back a little further, that's it back, no..back a bit more, I haven't quite got you in the pict...

MrsSchadenfreude · 07/01/2010 16:08

And where is this snow of which you speak? It has all melted in the 17th, or at least this morning's little sprinkling has been cleared away.

Lizzylou · 07/01/2010 16:08

Given that "Am I being unreasonable"? is a question, one would presume that you'd start a thread within the topic in order to garner opinions.

NOt just post there in order to cause a ruck.

Bonsoir · 07/01/2010 16:10

Hasn't melted outside my apartment >> it is freezing, and DD has a cold, so we must stay in.

Georgimama · 07/01/2010 16:11

"Naive" seems to be your stock in trade description for anyone who doesn't agree with you or challenges you. Perhaps you should just try reflecting on whether or not they have a point. People don't have to have been to a grand ecole and a size six to have something worth saying, Anna.

BitOfFun · 07/01/2010 16:11

Ah, the scales have fallen from my eyes- it eez true, zee aibu est une abomination qui on doit destruir...or something like that.

If there is one thing I know from MN, Bonsoir, it is never to take you too seriously. I suspect Whoisasking is nearer the bone than you would care to admit though.

TheBossofMe · 07/01/2010 16:14

What a prat....

BigusBumus · 07/01/2010 16:14

FFS Anna, close the laptop and go and give your poorly daughter a cuddle.

Bonsoir · 07/01/2010 16:16

She's on my knee cutting and stapling doing origami right now and has been for about an hour!

OP posts:
GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 16:17

Thank goodness this thread is near 1000

TheBossofMe · 07/01/2010 16:17

Rubbish. Give her a proper cuddle and stop wasting your time on this. Be a proper parent, not a half-arsed one.

cyteen · 07/01/2010 16:19

This thread is now officially having bumsex with itself.

Bonsoir · 07/01/2010 16:20

She doesn't want or need me cutting for her! Proper parenting is not about interfering unasked. Are you the kind of parent who does things for your child when he/she is perfectly happy and capable of doing them on their own?
