Kindness?

Following the death of Caroline Flack and the huge amount of attention her tragic death has bought to trolling and unkindness isn't it time AIBU was less nasty?

Some of the comments people write are just so nasty and the 'if you don't like it don't start an aibu' isn't an excuse. I just wonder how many people would say their written words to someone's face.

Is it so hard to tell someone they're unreasonable politely?

You are unreasonable to start the 457millionth thread on ‘kindness’ 😊🌷

Was that nice enough?!

Fuck did I?! Yes that was a lovely reply thank you. Grin

I agree, but not particularly because Caroline Flack has died - it’s been obvious for a long while that online forums and discussion threads can be nasty places. I suppose you can choose not to participate, but you can also check the tone and language you use towards another person. Anyone could be more vulnerable than you think.
