To ask why MNters can be so bitchy?

[Brainsfordays]

Just about every post I read rude unnecessary comments.

You may ask.

Maybe you'd be better off on another board?

Yes, some posters are bitchy but the majority aren't, especially if you don't bother with AIBU.

Report or challenge them then.

That's life really isn't it.

Apart from on NM.

...and DIY on a budget

I used to spend a lot of time on some male dominated boards and believe me they were worse than bitchy. They wouldn't even keep it to the forum, if they took umbrage with someone they delighted in trying to cause real life havoc.

Really, it's better here.

I can't reason why people reply to posts about life matters to make others feel shit or stupid?

Harrumph. We're not ALL rude and unnecessary.

Brains It has been particularly bad recently, I agree, anonymity gives the twisted the cover to be cruel. They are very much the minority though. Sad to see some people going through hell being hounded off the threads they started though.

Challenge it!

For sugar and fluffiness go to 'the other place'.

Way back when all was fields we used to say MN was love and knuckles.

It's like real life without the filters. That's what a small percentage of people are really thinking.

There's loons everywhere, it's just more obvious when they get to be anonymous.

I also think you sound massively entitled. You should sort out your own MH issues, actually parent your child instead of pissing about on the internet and your house is tasteless and unhygienic.

Please define bitchy. I've never understood it.

Which thread op?

Go read the one in Aibu called ‘to ask for advice’

I think it's too many people using AIBU this week. There are loads of topics. Like site stuff. Have a look around the proper topics and get some brilliant advice and support.

OPs that use misogynist language turn me into a right arsehole [please note sex-neutral insult]

OP you seem to have missed the brilliant advice and genuine people. For every negative there's at least 10 positive.

Pombear, anyone?

Some people are spoiling for a fight, like a rottweiler who's been left alone for a few days without any grub. They're bored with licking their genitals and they want to stick their fangs into some easy meat.

Here endeth the analogy.

I usually hang out in active not AIBU.

Also bitchy comments from MNters. I never intended it towards one sex. Could be either

I think this all the time. There seems to be a lot bitchiness, putting others down, scarcasm, passive aggressiveness, my opinion is the only valid opinion, and just unhelpful comments with seemingly the only aim to put the op or pp posters down
Kindness, support, warmth, empathy, compassion all seem to a rarity. It makes me sad.

'Bitchy' is an inherently gendered term, whether you deliberately meant it so or not.
This thread seems a bit rude to MNers in general, TBH, and not exactly necessary.

ODFOD

I really didn't intend it to be rude or offending to anyone either I genuinely wonder why threads are actively seemed, read and all of the above, sarcastic, passive aggressive comments are posted. Another thing some MNters do is once the OP stops replying a few will comment "come back OP" "where did the OP go?"

Am I an MNter now? It's all changed since it was all fields round ere.

Scarfs a bit tatty, but it'll be right after dousing in some good old viper sauce.
