AIBU in the news. AIBU to ask whether you mind that the London Evening Standard is outing this safe space for gripes, awkward questions & advice

[Littlecaf]

The Evening Standard has a full double page spread this evening on AIBU. AIBU to want them to bugger off and leave us alone?

[StepAwayFromTheThesaurus]

AIBU is not a 'safe space' by any definition of the phrase.

It's a bit of a publicly accessible forum on a high profile website.

[Littlecaf]

Do I really have to put 'lighthearted' in front of this thread title step?

[EatsShitAndLeaves]

It's a public forum.

I don't particularly like the papers using stories from here - but they are not doing anything wrong per se.

Its a way for them to fill the paper with copy very cheaply - it just smacks of lazy journalism and/or a slow news day.

So YABU - and especially so (or naïve) about the "safe space" comment but I understand why you don't like it.

[EatsShitAndLeaves]

seemingly - yes on the light hearted comment....

[Littlecaf]

I think it's the stench of lazy journalism which I don't like.

[StepAwayFromTheThesaurus]

You might be better off just wording it to make it clear that it's not serious.

People post exactly this sort of shit in all seriousness.

On the subject of stench, maybe they could look at the new thread on pongy sanitary towels and start a campaign! do something useful
