I don't always Read The Full Thread. AMA (name change, obvs).

[Goonyoucanaskme]

Or feel free to discuss your own feelings around non-full-thread-reading.
If the OP seems to be in distress, I take care to read all of their posts before commenting in case there has been an alarming development of some kind, especially if serious illness or violence is possible.
Otherwise, I chip in with a thought or opinion as soon as I read something that resonates, and it seems to make some posters surprisingly cross.
For example. OP posts she is sitting in the middle of the road in the middle of the night refusing to go home because she's upset that her boyfriend left her outside the nightclub and thinks he should come and pick her up. And I say 'You can't do that OP, it's dangerous and not worth it to make a point.' And someone replies sarcastically, 'RTFT FFS - she got a taxi and was home ten minutes ago.' And I think, 'But my point was still valid, and was what I had to offer to the conversation.'
I think this is like normal conversation. People chip in with things as and when they feel the urge, without necessarily knowing the full story. Studying a thread carefully and avoiding repetition and deviation is something a bit different, and seems a lot to ask on a discussion forum.

At least ALL the OP's posts should be read if not the whole thread.

If it is too long for your tiny brain to manage then just don't bother.

Threads only tend to descend into a general discussion because lazy idiots like you and the OP can't be bothered to read them but have to make your oh so wise post

Feel good? Well I quite often post because I enjoy posting. Sometimes there's a real problem I might be able to help with, but not always . Depends on the subject of the tthread. I once posted on 'How do you pronounce forehead?' which was unlikely to actually help anyone but was mildly interesting.

Why on earth do you feel the need to be so rude? Just trolling, or do you really feel such contempt for other posters?

Isn’t the difference with a real life conversation that you’d join in at the point the conversation is up to? Which, ideally, is what should happen when a thread has been running for a while?

If a group had met up and someone started talking about the best places to go in Italy, at some point someone might ask had they thought about Croatia as an alternative. The conversation goes on and the first person decides actually Croatia sounds like a great idea so the group discusses places in Croatia to visit.

In real life, if you turned up, you’d hear they’re discussing Croatia and would contribute to that part of the conversation. You wouldn’t know that they started talking about Italy, so it would be odd to join the conversation at the point it’s at by making suggestions about Italy.

I see what you're saying. I have a different idea about what is OK on social media, I guess, and don't feel the same commitment to understanding exactly what is being said on public forums before joining in the chat.
I have found this thread quite interesting but I am leaving it now because there are rude comments appearing. Anyone who RTFT will know I have departed and stop addressing comments to me!

The App has a sign/thingy in the blue bit at the top of the thread that means you can just read the OP’s comments which helps if I’m going to comment on the thread.
