Not because it brings out the dirty bad sad side of MN.

Not because there are lots of fights.

Not because people use it as an excuse to be foul ("well, this is AIBU - what did you expect sucker?")

Just because it makes us look like a bunch of ignorant cnuts.

Every type of subject under the sun gets posted in AIBU. People have not really grasped the concept/thinking behind it.

So when you get titles like AIBU to ask what is your favourite colour/biscuit/film and other similar general nonsense questions ad infinitum

then

it just makes Mumsnet look like a VERY dumbed-down site indeed.

Thanks.

Well, with Helen's level of astuteness, do you wanna be in with her?

Now, we all know that sulking and stamping doesn't get us anywhere, don't we, ronshar?

You can ask again when you're ready to use your manners

I really would like to know HelenBiscuits, does whomever has drawn the short strawis on Friday Night Duty, have an aubldle noise when someone hits the report button?

And can you change the ringtone to play White Lines or Forever In Blue Jeans depending on your mood?

Confused
