The word "Discuss" at the end of a title.

[Cosmos45]

I have always found it really strange that people put the word Discuss at the end of a title or perhaps at the end of the question they are asking. This is a discussion site isn't it? Isn't the whole point of every post to initiate a discussion? What purpose does adding this extra instruction serve. I find it so strange and its as if the person is barking out an order. Is it just me (probably is).

I don't see it that often here tbh but when it does they get piled on for the same reasons you have just shared

It just reminds me of writing essays!

Yep, pompous pleased with themselves style that always guarantees that a. OP is pulverised and b. there is no discussion, because, well, FUCK YOU

Annoys me too. Also when at the end of the post they put ‘reader, I .....’

Oh, I've just seem the thread you're thinking of! Yes, it's extremely annoying and I'm surprised nobody has called it out yet. (It's in Chat)

AIBU to ask whether people prefer the javelin, shot putt or some other Olympic throwing event?

Discus

@MagentaRocks oh yes.. the whole "reader I married him" (I don't give a shite if you did or didn't TBH). Cringe

I hate it. To me it's super bossy, commandering and militant 'do as you are told'.

I hate it when people put on FB 'recommendations for a cheap plumber.. and go!' like I am falling over myself to be the first one to recommend Trevor or whoever. Always want to write FUCK OFF to them too!

It's usually a sign of a GF.

They come in, say something controversial, end it with discuss, then hope for chaos.

I love when the OPs write 'discuss' and then get absolutely torn to shreds by everyone in the thread. It's a proper, old style mumsnet feeding frenzy. Makes me all nostalgic.

Haha poor ol' trev!

My immediate reaction is ‘Don’t command me to do something!’ and I don’t bother with the thread!

Hate it and find it really rude. Worse though, I see a lot on Facebook some people just write ‘go’ instead. Winds me up and I never engage in those discussions. Basic manners don’t hurt anyone

There used to be a troll who would pop up every so often and start threads about a random celebrity of their choosing, the title would always read Discuss.

Wonder what happened to them?

I just want to post childishly "no, shan't" and stamp my feet.
I always imagine a teacher from Malory Towers with a pince-nez and a big stick.

It’s rude and lazy. If you want to discuss it open with a bloody opinion.

It's very annoying. So is 'just that, really.'

I hate it too

Same with writing "Go" after asking a question or for a recommendation.

Worse is the posters who actually start "discussing" without question like they're following the teacher's orders in school.

I just leave a 🤦🏼‍♀️ for both the OP and those discussing then click off. If posters are already following orders, my "No, you discuss!" or "No i won't!" matters not anymore.

Definitely reminiscent of school essays and quite rude. It's lazy too. If you want a conversation then start a conversation. Don't expect others to start it for you.

Sometimes they are journalists or marketing staff looking for opinions on their products

I find it rude.

I find it extremely bossy. It's like a 1980s exam question.
