Original poster

Ethos of AIBU board?

I am relatively new to MN and I started a discussion in AIBU

I responded to posters throughout what I thought was a dicussion, whether I agreed with them or not, and not in a horrible way.

I was criticised. Is this board not for discussion or am I just taking too much of these posters - I know sniping does go on but am a bit perplexed...

Where should I have put a thread where I was prepared to respond and discuss?

Hi, Icantbelieveitparent - we're sorry you're feeling perplexed.

The AIBU topic does tend to have rather more fighting robust discussion than other topics on our boards.

That's why we have a disclaimer at the top of the threads saying: 'This topic, as you might guess from its title, encourages posters to take sides. This means that posters tend to express their opinions. If you don't want to read posts from people who might strongly disagree with you, you might prefer to post in a different topic area on our site.'

Having said all that, we have to confess that the disclaimer did disappear for a while and we've only just replaced it .
