to think there seem to be lots of threads being started purely for the purpose of being judgey atm?

[flowery]

I don't know. It just feels like there's a lot of pointing and sneering on here at the moment and it makes uncomfortable reading.

(yes I know, I could just not read those threads)

I know, you are right but we all do it, and sometimes its fun

there always has been. Small minds with little to fill them, and an audience of willing judgers. Why wouldn't they?

But ... are you not being judgey of judgey threads!?

like this one?

Vermicious

Judgy is as judgy does

And nickelbabe!

Yes indeed, this is a judgey thread! But not pointy and sneery...

Tis now!

Some of them are very piss-take-y, though.

The photos on walls one was taken way, waaaay too seriously by most people.

Didn't see that one Baldrick - what was the gist?

This isn't about any thread in particular so I don't know. I'm sure some of them might be meant to be piss-takey but I don't think all of them are, and I also don't think that's always clear, or entirely true.

I don't know. Just feels as though there have been loads of threads in that vein recently and I don't think it's MN at it's finest.

and ::sneery::

Well, it's a public forum! Maybe avoid the thread you don't like the sound of.

Does it really affect your day to day life if someone is judgemental on a message board?

YANBU.

It seems to be a superiority thing on here. If you don't judge you are apparently incredibly superior and a wonderful person. If you do judge then you are a bag of shite destined to go to hell

No it doesn't affect my day to day life, no Hexagonal and I didn't realise that was a criteria for starting a thread about something. Feel free to judge me

It's just an observation. yes of course I can avoid/hide those threads.

I'm not saying anyone is superior or the opposite for judging or not judging. We all do it a bit, and that's fine with me. But it feels as though MN has become more like that recently, perhaps I'm wrong. But that's what it feels like, and I just think it's a shame.

I wasn't aware I mentioned a criteria for starting threads, flowery. Of course, start a thread about whatever you wish but be prepared to be judged

I haven't noticed a change on here tbh; there's always been those that judge a lot, those that judge a bit and those that say they never ever judge and that everyone that does is wrong and bad and awful and...

Trust me I have no problem being judged for starting the thread - the title was asking for it really!

Maybe it's not any worse than it was. I certainly wouldn't claim never to judge (and anyone who does is lying imo!). I definitely do, and I don't judge those who judge as such. I guess I'm judging those who start a public thread solely for the purpose of pointing a finger at people who do/don't do something completely unimportant.

Hide aibu from your active convos then (you can do this in customise), i do this from time to time when the aibu threads start to wind me up!

yes no yes no yes no yes no

plus ca change

What is wrong with a little judging?

You know we all love it do it.

those that say they never ever judge and that everyone that does is wrong and bad and awful and...

I've not seen anyone that does this!

Isn't there always?

Oh I wish I got upset by judgy threads.

I'm not finding aibu too bad at the moment, I think it depends on my frame of mind. A lot of recent threads have been very tongue in cheek. Theres too many wedding threads at the moment though!

Aibu really annoyed me a while back when there were loads of money threads 'aibu that dh earns £1 billion per year and we are still broke' type ones!
