To think that people love to give a good roasting on here.

[malificent7]

I know that if I post something unreasonable on here I will get a good roasting but some on here seem to love dishing out criticism.

It's fine to give an opinion but I find the lengths people go to are a bit weird. People are quick to remember any facts about your life that they remember from previous threads and use that as 'evidence' to prove what an appalling human you are.
Then there is name calling, benefit bashing , vaccination rows and trans hysteria. All from women who have apparent full and satisfying lives.
I know people will hark back to my earlier threads to find examples of what a disgusting human I am, lazy, disorganised etc. I have seen other ops get far worse
And yet I always come back for more abuse! It is compelling!

Aibu to wonder why we love to roast others so much?

Speak for yourself, I certainly don't want to give anyone a roasting, neither do I keep accounts of previous threads.

I don't love giving anyone a roasting

I think I'm on the side of the OP 95% of the time and I'm quick to report abuse to MNHQ. I think people need to report a lot more and a lot more often.

Are you the poster who is repeatedly accused of blowing a £30k inheritance? Sorry for bringing it up! It's great that you don't feel the need to name change but I wonder why you find the abuse compelling? You are either confident in yourself or a masochist

There was a horrific thread in Relationships on sat/sun where a woman posted about her partner pushing her onto a bed and she was victim blamed for throwing her own phone across the room (not at him). MNHQ were thankfully quick to take it down due to the victim blaming. So yes, some people DO love to give OP a roasting and there are a lot of misogynists lurking around.

Some people go very near the bone. I always think the people who pile on to call op vile or a bitch or be very judgy are the "butter wouldn't melt" irl.

Ohhhhhh I didn't know you could look at previous threads. I find that pretty weird people go to those lengths. Very very odd.
I think those that extreme roast on here would be too scared to do so in real life.

I posted once asking for tips to help me with my 2yo who had started to cry hysterically at bedtime. Good god... I almost got burned at the stake. I ignored the negative posters and was given wonderful advice which restored order to the household. I am very confident in my parenting skills, if i wasn't i would of been devastated with some of the utterly ridiculous and nasty comments/accusations.

Yanbu that people are sometimes unnecessarily harsh. However i can understand why people bring up past threads if they recognise a poster because:

• sometimes people ask the same questions, recieve the same advice yet don't act on it.

• people sometimes are selective with their OP to try snd get sympathetic responses to what might be a totally different issue when placed in context

Yes, some people are truly vile and use this platform to vent their venom that they would never dream of doing in real life.

It's Aibu so yes people love to roast others. In all my years on mn it's been like that. On other topics yes some can be twats but such is life.
