Don't want to read and run....wtf?

[wolfwhistleme]

namechanged. I find this phrase completely and utterly unnecessary and annoying..so there! Ok..those that go to the effort of prefixing this phrase to a sentence are not actually reading and running but they want you to know that they're not reading and running..it makes no sense!

It's to bump the thread so that other people who are more able to help might see it.

Why on earth would you need to namechange for this?

What she said ^

if someone wants support and you don't have that much time reading a message like this may be good for them

if you post something that's important to you no one answers and it's just fucking depressing

well, don't want to be known as a winder upper you know...... but it does get on my nerves.

I always assumed it was a bump to get it onto the active part so that people with better advice could help. Or just a hand hold to let the op know they're not alone, depending on subject.

Why have you namechanged? How peculiar.

abbsisyhero sums it up nicely. If you can't help with a problem but are sympathetic then it is nice to acknowledge the person and their post which may have taken a lot of courage to write.

If it annoys you, don't use it. Problem solved.

Stuff like "what she said" ^^ is a bit lazy too!

I don't use it! Problem not solved as other people keep using it and I think the phrase should be banned!

If you need to name change you know you're unreasonable. I always see that comment as being slightly apologetic - I can't really be helpful but I want to be supportive because I feel for you. It's nice.

Its just a bump up. Sometimes things drop off the page past so people bump it up. It's nothing to get your knickers in a twist about.

Or would you prefer just bump?

What a stupid thread.

Thankyou Mykingdom..I may get a petition going to ban the phrase.

I personally think that namechanging to whinge is a bit off. Own your shit.

OK, thread police.

What other rules would you like us all to abide by?

Thankyou for your contribution Paul. You didn't read and run!

Wouldn't want to annoy you

I think you're on a wind up. Why name change?

I think it's nice when people use it. Sometimes you can read a thread and have no experience of the situation so unable to offer advice BUT the OP is in a bad place and her/his thread dropping out of Active with no replies at all could make them feel worse.

I like people not reading and running, it shows that although they have no expertise to bring to the thread, they do have compassion and sometimes that's what you need.

^^what everyone else but you said^^^^

How do you feel about strike through use?
