AIBU?

To think there's a nice way to disagree with people on here?

I've posted a few AIBUs under another name. Sometimes it turns out I am being unreasonable. Which is good to know, after all it's why I asked the question.

Some people manage to communicate this very constructively, encouraging you to see it from the other person's perspective, sharing personal experience etc.

However some replies basically seem to take joy in tearing you down, being consescending/dismissive, not really adding anything to the discussion other than how ridiculous they think you are.

AIBU to think that if you disagree with someone, there's always still a respectful way to communicate that?

I disagree. It serves no purpose to the OP, really. It's just a freak show. I don't understand what those responding rudely get out of it really, except to vent their own frustrations on a complete stranger whose problems have nothing to do with them or their life.

I'm not sure if you mean standard AIBU cut and thrust or proper bundights. Either way you'd probably do better to take it up with MNHQ.

Some posters just don't like the answers they receive, unfortunately.

I'm more surprised that a certain goady fucker who bitch plops across a lot of threads, usually being a snide cow, hasn't been brought to task before now.

I do hope my crass language hasn't offended them.

Oh it's just the internet. You are not real people. It's just a big game for people to toy with each other. The truth is that honestly none of you matter to me in the slightest. And nor should we.
You mix serious life issues with people who don't give a shit and this is what happens! YABU

There are some incredibly crass and rude posters on here. I've no idea what their problem is, but they seem to log on for the sole purpose of putting people down and upsetting them. I have encountered some really offensive, nasty posters and you can only feel sorry for any unfortunate children they may have.

Oh the irony...

Some people are unnecessarily rude, yes

Often it is necessarily rude. For example, I've been very rude to some posters on another thread. I did not disagree with them respectfully.
This is because their opinions were dickish, offensive and disabilist, so I don't respect them or their opinions, and I feel free to make that clear.

Am I the only one seriously paranoid that this is about themselves?
