to hate it when OP's don't come back

[Justforlaughs]

I get really frustrated on this page when there is a really juicy OP and then we never get an update , AIBU or do most of you feel the same (obviously not everyone does or it wouldn't happen! )

Are you still there OP

Couldn't agree more. The one about the OP wanting to tell a lately-ill mate to lay off the booze was a particularly lively one.

It wasn't you OP, was it? Just trying to throw us nosey gits off the scent?:o

I find it annoying too, after all the advice and debate on how to resolve a situation, we never get to hear what happened in the end. It's like following the storyline of a TV drama and then the concluding episode doesn't get aired!

YANBU. It totally grates my shit when they don't come back to let you know what happened.

see the op has buggered off then...

OP have my very first .

I am here!
I want to know about the lady debating whether to breastfeed her friends baby, I stalked that thread for ages, does anyone know what happened?

Yes, it annoys me too! I know sometimes RL gets in the way, sometimes the OP gets a complete pasting and slinks away in terror but it's really irritating on threads where people come on looking for advice about quite serious employment/financial/legal problems and people with professional experience in that area spend time giving good advice and asking for further information. Then the OP just buggers off!

Really want an update on the water/squash situation.

I know sometimes the OPs can't come back as one of my RL friends started a particularly juicy conversation a year or so ago, her mental ex managed to get into her account and posted a load of nasty stuff so she got banned for her own safety. She tried to come back later with a different account when she was finally free to update but they knocked that on the head too.

It depends what the thread is about. If its a light-hearted funny thread when you want to know if its resolved, fair dos.

If its a pretty traumatic or unpleasant thread for the OP, then whinging about them not coming back is unreasonable. They're lives aren't soap operas for you to demand the next thrilling installment.

I see that all the time. lots of "Come back OP :( " comments when there's no actual concern there, just their own needs to find out what happens.

I liked the one the other day when the OP was accused of bitching and running (she'd had a go at boring middle names). I couldn't be bothered to read to the end though so she might have slunk back eventually.

Their, not they're lives.

This is exactly why I loved the "gift list for the mother of the baby." The op kept us updated through all the twists and turns (and there were many)!

Yanbu.

Though last time I started a thread I was accused of "continuing to argue" with people because I responded to posts. I wasn't arguing just engaging with the other posters and acknowledging their responses. Not just the ones telling me how reasonable I was either!

Can't win!
