It's been said many times but it still goes on...

OP posts 'AIBU?'

Replies are generally UABU

OP throws tantrum / gets defensive / drip feeds info to prove that they are NBU

So AIBU to say that if you want people to agree with / comfort / console you, you should post in specialist areas and leave AIBU for the stuff you're prepared to accept criticism on?

I dislike the holier - than - thou types who berate the poster for choices she/he made before the crisis being posted about.

No because they’re asking a question....

Hithere12 · 31/07/2019 10:22

A lot of times when people post they have no idea if they’ll be agreed with or not!!
