Any advice about my sanpro? Wink

Nombrechanger · 19/10/2013 00:22

How can you say that ALL of them are!?!

DropYourSword · 19/10/2013 00:22

What, every single one?
Stop hovering on AIBU and just look at active conversations!

Not trolls. I just think it went a bit quiet for 24 hours and people have filled the gap with inane stuff.

usualsuspect · 19/10/2013 00:23

I do look at active convos

I should go to bed really.

OP posts:
WhatAFunnyPotato · 19/10/2013 09:19

I don't really get how people know [naive face].

I mean, someone just reported a thread about a lass who was bitching about her chain-smoking mate who had a prem baby. Why would someone make this stuff up?

Maybe I misunderstand trolls. Maybe this is a good thing.

SoupDragon · 19/10/2013 09:25

Doesn't that make you a troll?

WhatAFunnyPotato · 19/10/2013 09:38

Huh? Pray explain...possibly in my sleep deprived haze I know nuffink

Nancy66 · 19/10/2013 09:41

I hope you didn't shit the bed Usual - that happens a LOT round here

The OP. Not you. :)
If all threads are troll threads, so is this one.

Beastofburden · 19/10/2013 11:22

Is this a question?

Soup dragon is a philosopher. Quite right.

RevelsRoulette · 19/10/2013 11:38

Nah. Not all of them. (are you trolling right now? Wink )

There are probably more troll threads than we identify as troll threads Grin but not all of them are.

The goady fuckers are fairly clear, but the attention seeking and the I Will Pretend I Did What I Wish I Did threads are less obvious.

VoiceofRaisin · 19/10/2013 13:53

I have seen lots of threads where people have shouted TROLL, but almost never thought that myself.

Some posters cannot bring themselves to believe the variety of lives and situations that people deal with especially if a poster is wealthy AND has problems. Which is perfectly possibly.

Or if an OP expresses themselves less than carefully and so appear to contradict themselves on a particular point - witnesses in court cases do this regularly and it certainly does not mean they are necessarily lying.

I also find it irritating when people accuse an OP of "drip feeding". A short snappy first post is called for (nobody wades through the overlong ones) together with relevant facts added in when and if needed. What would be the problem with drip feeding anyway Confused

In short, YABU to say that all threads are troll threads. Most aren't.

But if you feel that way then you should def step away as you will not be able to offer support in that frame of mind and could do some damage to a RL person in their RL due to your belief that they are not real.

cookymonster · 19/10/2013 16:42

Majestic trolling, OP.

TrueStory · 19/10/2013 17:04

I get the impression a lot of the average posters seem to be itching for a fight. I often end up feeling sorry for OPs, variously accused of being racist, disablist, anti-cleaner, on the slightest pretext. To be honest I feel I CBA with it either.

Hullygully · 19/10/2013 17:05

No, but there are a whole load of miserable goady cunts at th emo. Are you mixing them up?

claig · 19/10/2013 17:09

Is this a goady thread?

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 19/10/2013 18:52

You Can be arsed though O.P or you wouldn't be posting about it. xx

YouTheCat · 19/10/2013 20:04

I realise it's half term in some places. There's always an influx of stupid arsed kids around then.

CatAmongThePigeons · 19/10/2013 20:06

There doesn't seem to have been a let up between the summer holidays and these ones. PenisBeakerBollocks hasn't helped at all.
