To not get the point of posts.........

....which refer to previous posts or posters, but don't add anything to the discussion, e.g. "I agree with x", "What x said", or even "^^ This.". What's the point, other than to get your username on the screen or jump on a bandwagon? If you're going to the trouble of posting, why not contribute something? If someone's already said exactly what you think, there's no need to post! Aaargh!

moomins

I agree with you - but just to make you happyGrin

I tend to totally agree with totally Wink

ExitPursuedByABear · 09/01/2014 11:04

Are we all still agreeing?

That's rare.

MoominsYonisAreScary · 09/01/2014 11:09

I sometimes wonder if my posts are invisible, ill say something, a couple of posts later someone else will say the same thing and everyone agrees with them Grin

The1stTimeEverISawYourPan · 09/01/2014 11:10

I essentially agree with Quint, but bearly agree with Exit.

I always think short, mildly pointless answers were a kind of place marking by people who think a thread might kick off and who don't want to miss a bun fight or good deletion message.

Gosh, these AIBU threads take on a life of their own!

As 98% of posters think IABU, I will bow to public opinion and start
posting lots of

^^ This!

And secretly, I usually do agree with x, though I wouldn't dream of telling them.

I know what you mean Moomins I think there are a lot of people who don't RTFT and then all the posters who repeat what you said on page 1 get the credit. We need a new acronym. IAFST! (I already fucking said that!) Grin

DidoTheDodo · 09/01/2014 11:51

I agree with littleThorin

Hmm.

ohmymimi · 09/01/2014 12:42

I agree with the previous post.

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 09/01/2014 13:00

ohmymimi

I'm afraid I don't agree with "hmm" but the following post of yours nailed it.

exit

are you me?Shock I was going to say the exact same thing!

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 09/01/2014 13:02

moomins

again, I agree with you.
and your posts are never invisible to me.
they are little pearls of wisdom

Rufustherednosedreindeer · 09/01/2014 13:25

I agree with moomins and buzzard

Tho that has just given me an idea for a name change

Pigsmummy · 09/01/2014 15:10

I agree with everyone on here and will now create my own side conversation about cats. I hate it when that happens.

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 09/01/2014 17:37

pigs

I don't like cats.
but I agree with you

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 09/01/2014 17:52

Actually I think I have to start a thread about why nobody seems to agree with me.

I'm trying really hard not to take it personally, but it hurts.

Rufustherednosedreindeer · 09/01/2014 19:41

zing

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 09/01/2014 21:42

BaronessBomburst · 09/01/2014 22:37

I have a cat asleep on my lap. She's snoring. Sounds like a pig.

BaronessBomburst · 09/01/2014 22:38

That was for pigmummy. ^^

HoneyDragon · 09/01/2014 22:42

oVo summed it up perfectly further up thread. Why are you all still posting?
