To wish that if people don't like a thread topic, they should just move on to another?

I'm sick of when people post about a particular issue on MN, loads of people post saying "boring!", "sick of seeing these threads", "this has been done to death OP" and "can we have a seperate topic so we can hide this?"

FFS no one makes you read every thread, if you don't like it, move on! And it doesn't take a genius to work out that not every single MNer has read every thread that they have, and so for some it will be a new topic. Seriously, what's the point of making these 'contributions'?

Sorry, I'm very hungover moody today and need to vent.

I agree with you, there isn't a need to comment or click on every thread. I think sometimes people forget that

[Sparklingbrook]

I think people should be allowed to say whatever they want as long as it's within Talk Guidelines.

If they are sick of something why should they not be allowed to say so?

Competitive boredom is itself fairly boring, I tend to agree.

Not every thread title gives the topic away. I see most are disguised till you get halfway into it and then realize what it's about,

[LineyReborn]

Fisting for example. Who could have known?

[Sparklingbrook]

It is like Groundhog Day sometimes on MN. It seems to have been very laundry question based lately.

[PiperChapstick]

I just don't see the point sparkling or how comments saying they're sick of seeing these kinds of threads actually contributes to the discussion - it just clogs the thread up. I think that people should be able to say what they want (and wouldn't want any kind of censorship on MN), but it's not in the spirit of having a good discussion, it's just pointless and petty IMO.

I rarely object to any threads. I just move on generally but some issues really need their own topic so I'm going to keep posting my opinion on that, because I can and because I want to.

[Sparklingbrook]

Eww well if you venture into the sex topic you gave to take your chances.

[Sparklingbrook]

*have

[PiperChapstick]

Yes Maryz
Although towels and laundry don't interest me so I don't post on those threads nothing to do with not wanting to be judged on how little I wash my sheets

[Sparklingbrook]

It is annoying when you have every single topic you arent interested in hidden and yet theres still threads about that stuff clogging up your active list.

[IdaJones]

Yanbu. If they meet a stranger who comments on how cold it is outside i wonder if they reply
"BORING!!!! Other people have already mentioned it's cold to me today. I don't want to hear ANOTHER person say it!"

I would love to be able to hide conversations in RL.

Sometimes the thread title is in chat and doesnt relate to the content of said thread.

Well you only have yourself to blame if you go looking Maryz. I hope you posted 'not this again'.

[Sparklingbrook]

They need to personalise Trending for a start.

I love this idea! I think a letter to MP is in order

I stopped going to a local fish and chip shop because they talked about the weather all the time.
