Why do people on here question EVERYTHING?

[JenniferYellowShat]

OP - I think I'm being stood up

Replies - You are needy and desperate.

OP - My tenants are constantly late with their rent

Replies - It's your fault for renting your place. Expect them to do this, put up and shut up.

OP - I saw a man on the ground being hit by several police officers last night. WWYD?

Replies - But how could you have seen? It was dark. How could you see how many times he was hit? YABU
[answer - because I have eyes]

What a pointless forum this would be if nobody questioned anything

I've found it interesting that most times that I have started posting against the grain on a thread, then quite a few people end up joining in and change how the thread goes. I suppose most are just afraid of the initial kickers.

YANBU ...OP. I suspect you represent the (largely silent) majority.

So we need to accept everything that is said, not question a thing and make a decision on just what the OP has written. Ok then. I love a challenge.

I agree with you Maryz (on this one) and usual.

But I can enjoy the debate fights. Some people don't. Some people also take it too seriously.

Yes it is a bit shocking how if the replies aren't exactly the ones required then some major drips are deployed that completely change the whole question.

Most people don't like confrontation, even on a chat forum. I stuck my head above the parapet today and was reported. I don't like the feeling!
But there is a small number of repeat offenders (being very careful not to name) who delight in pulling apart posts and posters.
I see specific usernames and my heckles rise I know that the post will be unpleasant (and I bet I'm not alone in that).
Fair enough report a suspected troll but leave it at that- don't chip away at someone who could be perfectly legitimate.
There was a poster in the forum I was on previously who was troll-hunted though was legit and was understandably upset. That's not OK, we're grown women!

I see specific usernames and i hide the thread because it just isn't worth the bother of posting and getting picked apart. But i also avoid certain people in RL so it's just an extension of that.

hackles not heckles!

prob a good idea, sparkling- though I'd be a hiding a lot of threads- small minority of posters but large presence in many threads!

Did you get deleted Said?

I hide loads of threads, since I was told I could hide without even opening them I just go down Active hiding as I go.

i did, sparkling- didn't like it- don't think i'm cut out for aibu! god forbid i ever start a thread- i'd be in bits!

Ooh you must have been naughty Said. But it looks like that was a TAAT anyway.

i do think i broke a rule, but naturally i believe i had the moral high ground!
I didnt know you could hide threads that easily- will try that.
also will probably inhabit "chat" from now on.

Some people question absolutely everything and some people question absolutely nothing, before agreeing with an OP.

I find both equally annoying.
