Made Facebook argument personal

[Clutteredmind]

I shared an opinion on a local Facebook page, going against the grain, not a single other person appeared to have my opinion.
Basically, a loud event has been shut down by the council and changed so they can’t play loud music and disturb other people. Lots of people going, lots of people apologising, lots of complaining about the change.
I agreed that the noise should be tuned down. It’s something I feel strongly about. Theres a lot of antisocial behaviour in my town. I got piled on by people that don’t agree with my views. Got a lot of abuse.
Got told I’m being laughed at and my responses were reasonable until that point (in my opinion). I snapped. I replied with a personal attack about their appearance, basically said they are an insecure with no personal identity. Fake blonde hair, lashes, looks the same as all the others. Got a rush, and instant regret. I’ve tried to assert myself and am going to come away from it now. Be kind

From what you say you stooped to below their level when you started criticising their appearance. It won't benefit you to stay around.

disagreeing was only part of it they didn’t comment on my looks they were horrible in other ways, writing lengthy messages mocking me, telling me to move out of town and that I’m a newcomer (just come from another part of the UK, I am white British), giving generic threats, pile on by their friends, etc

You did yourself and your stance no favours by stooping to petty personal attacks that had nothing to do with the issue. Don’t get involved if you can’t control yourself. Maybe you need to go to a wild late noisy event to let off steam!

Lol at you telling us to 'be kind' 🤣

I'm not even sure what you want from this thread OP?

Just delete it

She seemingly wants people to tell us how nasty they are and how hard done by she is. "Be kind" meant "agree with me".

I wouldn’t dwell too much on it to be honest. Yes it was personal and unnecessary, not behaviour you want to emulate in real life but people in general are dicks online. The people being rude to you probably wouldn’t say their opinions in that way to your face either.

Basically it wasn’t your finest hour but it isn’t the end of the world. Your twatty comment will be lost and forgotten in the sea of twatty comments that is the internet. Delete your comment, come away from the post and block anyone who tries to contact you about it.

Be kind indeed.

Should have put this under 'AIBU' as the answer would be yes. To reply attacking someone's looks is low.

Mmm it is. But so is piling on someone and insinuating they are being laughed at just because they express an opinion that goes against the grain.
I suspect the op’s response was ‘yes I have a different view unlike you lot who all look and act the same.’
Not a great comment but I’ve seen a hell of a lot worse online and at least she’s got the good grace to feel bad about it.

You don’t really sound like you regret it. You sound as though you meant every word of it and still feel like some retaliation was deserved.

If that was the case she would've just apologised, deleted it and moved on.

@Clutteredmind

Surely on FB you are more visible and identifiable and that's concerning.

Do you think all of the people giving her shit feel bad about it? Or have deleted their comments? Op sadly rolled around with pigs and got dirty.

I think it's a little bit off to move somewhere and then complain about local events on the community Facebook page because you think they're "anti-social".

What does that have to do with my reply to...

Not a great comment but I’ve seen a hell of a lot worse online and at least she’s got the good grace to feel bad about it.?

I've got no idea whether the others feel bad?

I'm saying I don't think the OP does.

I don’t know why you think that. you can’t tell me how I feel

I haven't told you how you feel?

I've said how I feel.

And I don't think you feel bad about it, or you would've just deleted and moved on instead of dragging it to another website, to go over it all again 🤷‍♂️

How old are you, just out of interest?

Ok I’m sure you know the motives behind her starting this thread much better than she does.

U list an argument and resorted to slagging people off, oh dear!

I’m not asking you or anyone if you think I’m right. That’s a misunderstanding. I feel shaken by the experience

I would have thought so. Antagonising people on local groups who know who you are isn't a good idea.

How can you be acting like the victim here?!

Not stirred?
