I'm a newbie but a lurker

I think it may be a good idea to have voting buttons on am I being unreasonable to give a quick talley on YABU/YANBU. What do you think?

OP posts:

Thanks

But no-one wants an actual answer - they just want a forum so they can argue their view.

Very rarely does anyone look and say, oh, so I am unreasonable, ok....

Ooh, yes. I would still rant for England, personally, but for the less premenstrual vociferous among us - good idea.

Thanks

Does it take that long to type YANBU? It takes even less time to type YABU. Maybe time constraints are causing MNers to vote for YABU!

I like the idea that the OP of an AIBU could see a little bar chart of how many people thought they ABU, how many thought they ANBU, and how many were undecided.

I just think some nearly all AIBU posters need a big red diagram saying '99% of people questioned think YABU'

think they should get rid of it (but you know that already)

Remove AIBU?

Not really?

Yes definitely. If I could make one change to MN it would be to get rid of AIBU. It turns MN into a pantomime.

AIBU is probably my favourite bit of MN. I'd be sad to see it go. Ever since my neighbour's girlfriend moved out I've been unable to hear screeching arguments, and AIBU makes up for it. Way better than soap operas.

SEA for sale got moved?

I thought all topics could be hidden by individuals if they want and for sale was no different?

I know I should just hide AIBU but in some ways it has taken over the role of the chat topic which I actually like best.

Oh no it isn;t!

no for sale was made into an 'opt in' only topic how did you miss that?

I bloody heart AIBU.

I can't understand why people who don't like it just...urm...don't look at it?

DumbledoresGirl · 20/02/2009 20:38

Because it affect the tone of much of the rest of Talk.

i guess i know in real life if i am being unreasonable, don't need a bunch of strangers to confirm this.

would like some support in my decisions rather than people telling me iabu.

and have seem some interesting topics which would be great topics in other areas and really support mums, rather than shoot them down.

It brings out the worst in me. Not sure it should be encouraged. In me.

MN brings the worst out in me.

I am not nearly such a giant twat that I am on here.
