Is that all you have to worry about? Nope, probably not, but bit is the subject the op was asking opinions on.

[HoneyDragon]

Why do it? Why?

If all you can post is does it matter?

Who cares?

Is that all you have to worry about?

Then don't, particularly if that's ALL you are capable of posting ever. Do people who post this on forums expect a response to these statements? If so why?

I get people can post what they want and it's a free world and all, but honestly, just because you've read the opening post does not mean a response of some kind is required.

You don't have to type.

Stop it. Please. I beg of you in a prostrate pleading type way. Just for a little while. Please?

(And if one of you funny fuckers posts Is that all you have to worry about ? I will hunt you down and shit in your slippers )

It's in AIBU so it can reach the offenders Usual.

Plus if the thread police get me I'll claim diplomatic immunity and say I'm from NetMums and to take it up with their officials.

Thinking about it, wouldn't it be funny if everyone posted in AIBU asking questions like: "AIBU to be really frightened of dying? I keep on imagining what it is going to be like to be no more. I can't imagine it and it scares me. It makes me really sad to think that I won't hold my daughter's hand again, or kiss her. I can't bear to think of the times when she might be lost or lonely. And, while we're on the subject, I am also really frightened that one of my children might die alone, and in pain, and I won't be able to help."

or

"AIBU to find that I can't stop thinking about the horror of the situation with the Nigerian schoolgirls. Their terror, and the fears their mothers must have. I find it unbearable that I live in a world that, because of various political structures, effectively colludes with this. I feel disgusted and angry and powerless. AIBU?"

Basically, I think it's sane and reasonable to worry about little stuff sometimes. It's human and OK. It's wrong to want to stamp on it.

It is always the same bloody people who post that type of comment.

Makes me wonder if they are all 'Victor Meldrew' in RL.

It's not big and it ain't clever

Seriously. What are you all doing here pandering to Honeydragon?

Ignore, ignore, ignore. Just like MNHQ

It's right up there with the proffering of grips on my twattishness scale.

Both of those things just scream 'complete bellend' at me.

Origin - I think you mean PARD, don't you? not parp. BUt I can't remember what it stands for!

Oh hang on - possibly "polite and respectful discourse"

YANBU. I can never ever understand why people do this. The whole point of AIBU is that you can moan about the trivial stuff like - someone skipping the queue at the checkout or putting a gimmemoney poem in with their wedding invitation.
It doesn't have to be all about the state of the economy and the abysmal health service.

But they're probably the same people who come on and correct people's grammar, or miss the point of the OP and start banging on about something she never said. Some people just like to row and antagonise people, I guess

PARD- polite and reasonable discourse.

Although I do sometimes think is the only answer on some threads.

Been a normal day where I live. But I sometimes wonder if the people who do this would be so gobby in real life.

On another forum there was a very prolific poster who was gobby and rude etc. Then In real life at a meet up, she hid in the corner. Funny how behind a computer screen they were so nasty.

If you don't have anything reasonable to say, why bother wasting time on posting sarky replies?

In fact, I was reading here in Classics today and it kind of sums up so many of those kind of things that people do just to put Ops down.

It's the same people that read DM articles about the Royal Family in detail then log onto their DM comments page and write things like "yawn" and "I couldn't be less interested".

Why waste your time reading about it and commenting at all?

I always took "parp" to being similar to the sound Noddy's hooter made, ie. the sound of air being forcefully expelled through a confined space ... such as when one blows a raspberry ...

It was dismissive.

I also dislike posters who wade in at the end of the thread and say everyone else on it is deluded/mad/useless at discussing XYZ and then waft off again on their high horse not attempting to add anything else useful to the discussion. Nothing to contribute = don't bother.

I really loathe the 'yawn' comments. Spiteful and degrading. You know who you are.
