unt?

THERE'S NO NEED TO BE SO FUCKING MEAN

I loved AIBU at first, but now I hate it, I think posters are unecessarily nasty in it.

I quite like AIBU. Although a couple of times recently I have suggested the OP posts on a different topic.

Once because the OP got all arsey when I posed a different pov and asked a question. Her response was: "rant rant rant... is that all right with you?" (Although what really hacked me off was that she wrote a bloody self-pitying essay... with NO PARAGRAPHS!

And once because the OP was obviously very vulnerable and needed some proper advice.

As the saying goes "If you can't stand the heat..."

AIBU would work better if people were prepared to apologise, or question their opinion every now and again.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 11/10/2009 21:34

I like the cut and thrust of the debate on AIBU, but I do think that some people are ill-advised to post serious topics on here. IMO it should really be reserved for comedy rants or philosophical-type debates.

I really think some new people are not really aware that there are other places they should post . They just immediately go to AIBU.

Some people are very rude and insensitive on AUBU, but some OPs just do not think enough before posting on here.

I myself am a paragon of virtue .......

I haven't posted an AIBU thread for a while, I don't think so no, I haven't posted this because I've had a kicking on an AIBU thread.

Admit it scottishmummy - you were dying to put LOL YES SolidGhoulBrass just there.

It does bother me sometimes; there was a very sad thread on here about a woman who missed her child and wanted to see more of her, but the child lived with her ex. She got a lot of vitriolic rage and poor advice. I was worried about what happened to the family in real life.

On the other hand AIBU had satisfied my long standing curiosity as to why women in 4 wheels drives behave as if they hate pedestrians and think they (the driver) have a right to disabled parking

It's not just AIBU, there's attacks all over the thread

I now post in safe-safe-safe mode and avoid getting in too deep for my own mental safety. Once a thread leaves you shaking, you change- and the thing is its so easy for somene anonymous to accidentally the buttons that hurt the most.

Tortington · 09/10/2009 21:22

nyeeve i think thats the first time ever you have made me LOL

Squiglet · 09/10/2009 21:22

we dont know
how very dare we judge

SolidGhoulBrass · 09/10/2009 21:18

What alsways amuses me about this sort of whining thread is that people seem not to notice that when someone squeals and stamps her ickle foot about how HOWWID everyone else has been, it's always a poster who has had a well-deserved online kicking for either posting something witless or something very contentious and then bleating when disagreed with politely or corrected on a fact.

NyeEve · 09/10/2009 21:17

but the OP could have some kind of specialneeds

scottishmummy · 09/10/2009 21:16

Isn't there another website where everything is moderated? hun

I like AIBU. No one in their right mind posts on AIBU if they aren't prepared to take the flack.

scottishmummy · 09/10/2009 21:00
