AIBU to find these type respnses on mn rather bloody annoying and not very helpful?

[itsanewname]

These are not actual threads but the answers are pretty similar to what i have read on different boards:-

OP: Its rainin outside, I have to be somewhere as a matter of life + death, should I run 4 the train or take teh bus?
Poster: Learn to spell first and sort out your grammer.

OP: [Describes something that has happened that is going to divide opinions], can i have an opinion please?
Poster 1: I think this (enter opinion)
Poster 2: I think this (enter differing opinion)
Poster 4: How dare you disagree with poster 1, she has been here ages.
Poster 5: I love Poster 1, she says the bestest things.
Poster 5: Everything Poster 1 says is right cos i just love her.

(Actually this isn't that annoying, just a bit arselicky which I find

OP: I let my dc use fb, I have given them permission, please give me advice about a problem that has cropped up and how to deal with it.
Poster: Your dc should not be on fb (whilst offering no help whatsover towards the op's actual problem)

and my favourite -

OP: This [insert an event of some sort] happened to me, I am trying to make heads and tails of it.
Poster: Thats never happened to me so therefore you must be lying.

Is it just me who thinks if you cant offer any practical advice, fuck off why bother even posting?

Just totally ignore twats. They're used to that treatment in reality, anyway.

Hully, it's apple. Actually.

I actually went in the Peak Freen factory. I was so

Love it! Point 3 is well made and bugs the shit out of me on here!!

You missed the:

OP: explanation of problem with a few details in it, possible something that is likely to elicit a couple of differing points of view

Post 1-n: fairly sensible discussion of said problem

Post n+1: total confusion of original problem with random permutation of all relevant detail, which indicates that NONE of the thread has been read properly before they started mashing the keyboard

Post n+2 onwards: increasingly confused discussion of the misunderstood problem, interspersed with posters explaining in ever-more-irate terms that someone got totally the wrong end of the stick, until people start getting really upset at all the abuse being flung around.

In the Peak Frean!

The giddy heights...

How'd you manage that?

The ones that get me are massive assumptions posters make about a poster from their OP:

You sound very [insert adjective]

or

You clearly have issues with x, y or z

Well, people can respond however unhelpfully they like! Ignore the ones that you think are unhelpful.

I think YABU about the grammar. It is embarrassing how badly some adults on here write. Sometimes it is bad enough that the post is almost unreadable.

What silverten said.

I see a lot of threads where people haven't even read the OP properly.

I like my scones with jam

I'll go away now :(

Haven't seen any of those posts where people say 'how dare you disagree with a poster'

I hate the whole 'Ohh that's such a first world problem' well yes, because we live in a first world country if you've got time to go on the Internet via your laptop/smartphone then I'm pretty sure your problems are of the first world variety too

I also hate the 'I've got it worse' posts. Not always because sometimes people are trying to help, but the ones that go like this...

Op-am I bu to be upset that my dad shagged my husband then set me on fire then barbecued my dog
Poster 1- YANBU
Poster 2- YABU my dad is dead i'd

give anything for him to be able to set me on fire and barbeque my dog
(disclaimer, my dad really is dead but I still think its unreasonable to try to guilt trip people into never complaining because they're 'lucky')

Why are people attempting to disrail this thread? It's not like the OP is being nasty or trolling.

*The ones that get me are massive assumptions posters make about a poster from their OP:

or

This, and when people don't read the thread is quite annoying, and go off a comment like the above from another poster.

e.g. Poster one says: you clearly have issues and hate men.

Poster two wades in: What the fuck? You hate men? What a bitch!

And the thread was about cheese.

I don't think this thread is goading. There's no mention of specific posters for a start.

And the OP has a valid point.

We need more threads about cheese though.

And this is seriously all you have to worry about? Wish I had your life!

sometimes it's appropriate - if someone is entirely up their own self-pitying arse

Is naming changing to LolTroll allowed?

I've actually been the subject of a few of these. Someone comes on to an Employment thread I've given advice on and strongly disagrees with me, or tells me I don't know what I'm talking about, and people have posted in a 'don't speak to Flowery like that she's an expert and helps loads of people on here' kind of way.

When that happens I do very much appreciate the support, people are very kind. But I do prefer when people just politely point out that actually I may well know what I'm talking about, rather than get cross with disagreeing posters on my behalf because I've been around a while and help people. Because of course posters should be polite and respectful to everyone, and what I've done previously/how long I've been here shouldn't entitle me to more politeness than a new poster.

OP you realise there's a typo in your title don't you

Just sayin'

Sorry! Couldnt resist!

FWIW I think your OP is pretty tru

Or *true even, Curry.
