inlovewithhubby Of course I take on board your opinion, if I didn't I wouldn't bother replying. It'd be a barren land if everyone on MN always agreed with each other and an even worse one if everyone ignored everyone else's opinion.
See the threads that often pop up in Site Stuff asking for a 'Like' button - thank fuck that the majority always refuse it because this site is a discussion site. It doesn't have to be about the meaning of life or the universe, equally it doesn't have to be about the best way to change a duvet cover or eat a scone but I'm here because I like the discussion aspect of the site warts and all.
I personally find the less publicised boards a lot better for interesting discussions. For some, AIBU is MN and they'll never stray from there whilst others target AIBU specifically to provoke or goad.
To be frank, and I may be going off on a tangent now, what bothers me the most is the media perception that MN is full of hysterical, handwringing po-faced women.
I can see the joke in the pun 'angry birds' but that doesn't render me any less of a feminist or any less capable to contribute to discussion on serious issues when they arise.
