I've only been on a here a year so I could be completely wrong but from my experience if a thread starts to kick off it's always blamed on the OP.

The OP has a bad attitude, has an anger problem, it's no wonder they don't have friends, glad I don't know you in real life.

It doesn't seem to matter what was said to them by other people.

Obviously I have witnessed some exceptions, but these seem very few and far between really. It just seems like the OP is fair game.

OP, really. You must know how very unreasonable you are being. Are you completely stupid?

Clearly you have hidden anger issues and an inability to deal with criticism.

You are fair game. Wink

I think you're massively out of order and should shut up.

DoraGora · 20/04/2015 13:54

Somebody got there before me.

KoalaDownUnder · 20/04/2015 13:55

Hmm You sound like a right charmer, OP.

undercoverfashionvictim · 20/04/2015 13:57

Why don't you lot all fuck off because I knock you all out?!

Often, when I see the OP getting a kicking, I imagine the 'other side's' thread and conclude that they would get a kicking as well. Some people just like to put others down.

OP, I like it. If you could just work men into it, somehow, I think you could be a candidate for the feminism boards. You could go right to the top.

ExitPursuedByABear · 20/04/2015 14:01

At one time people would stick up for the OP if it seemed they were getting a unearned flaming, but those days are long gone

So perhaps you should get a grip Bear

SunnyBaudelaire · 20/04/2015 14:03

Gosh you sound lovely OP

undercoverfashionvictim · 20/04/2015 14:04

No way Dora I've read a couple of threads on there and if I commented I would get eaten alive Jaws style.

So much depends on what has happened in RL to posters.

Something unfair, infuriating, and they read something which presses a few more buttons and the OP gets it, often in a snide PA way I know I've done it myself
Or even after reading something horrible in the media can make me answer differently (recently read about a tourist's video of burning a little native marsupial whilst on hols in Oz - won't post it in case everyone gets angry) which made me arsey.

Maybe mnetters should do one of those SAS survival courses before going on those boards.

WorraLiberty · 20/04/2015 14:06

Do you kiss your children with that mouth OP?

No I use my fucking elbow

Often, when I see the OP getting a kicking, I imagine the 'other side's' thread and conclude that they would get a kicking as well. Some people just like to put others down.

There was a prime example recently when an OP made a thread saying she thought her ex husband's partner should take time off work to look after her stepdaughter as the ex couldn't do exactly the days and times she wanted on a one off occasion. Loads of people saying 'don't be ridiculous, why should this other woman take holiday, look after your own child.'

Then when OP revealed it was a reverse and she was the partner in question, a load more people posted 'of course you should take holiday, she will feel rejected, you took on this responsibility when you started the relationship!'
