Is it me or is it getting worse??

I may accidentally miss an update if the thread is really long --quite often because there's too many comments that haven't read the full thread.

But if you can't take the time to read the whole thread (you can clearly see how long it is before posting), then wait to comment until you can!

The thread gets annoying to read because it's full of irrelevant comments.

Also, just commenting without reading as a matter of course can sometimes be upsetting to an op who's in more delicate situation.

Eg "I think my husband's cheating should I check his phone?" Then getting pages of 'yes check his phone" by people that think they don't need to waste time reading the thread, they'd rather hear the sound of their own voice. When it's actually moved on that the husband got caught out and moved out to be with the other woman last week and poor op is having to deal with 'yes check his phone' again and again.

Honestly, sometimes it's not like a discussion forum it's like an echo chamber for poster's opinions.

Gah. Sorry. Rant over.

Watch me accidentally not rtft in the near future. Grin

I haven't read all of this thread, but I think you should call the head teacher in the morning. And report it on 101.

I can't help with the mobile site Phiomena, I'm sorry. I never use it because I hate it so much.

PhiLomena, I mean. Grin

I think you have to have your accounts linked, so you are the same user name on the mobile as the desk top?

Dragging this back up as I've seen some dreadful not reading the fucking thread today.

For those of you who've said 'it's not that bad' to not read the full thread, I'd point you to the current thread where op has suffered violence from her partner and has finally (throughout the thread) asked him to leave her house. He's refused and now she's wondering what to do.

And people are still commenting awful awful fucking things about her being a doormat and she should kick him out or 'just bin him off', clearly only having read the first comment. 

There's been quite a few very sensitive threads where this has happened in the last few days and it's really upset vulnerable posters.

*If you don't have time to read the thread - DONT POST.
