To wonder what puts you off a thread in AIBU and probably means YABU as a result?

For me it is a long opening post running to several paragraphs, with heaps of back story and confusing references and a cast of thousands including friends A,B,C, and D.

Yes IABU because I know the OP sometimes wants to give full details to get the best replies and to avoid being accused of drip feeding. But I usually click out of those threads as soon as I see the length of the opening post.

A litany of 'he said, she said' can be tiresome.

A summary will suffice, we don't need a verbatim account.
