Do posters eventually comply and agree with you if post the same thing enough times

[KatherineofTarragon]

It it me or are there loads of posters currently experiencing the same issue, all at the same time? I have seen numerous threads in recent weeks all about the same things, under the same topics.

AIBU in suggesting that the advice you get in threads 1-20, when it is all saying the same thing, is probably the correct advice and consensus?

Or, if you do not like the answers you get, do posters eventually comply and agree with you if post the same thing enough times under new names?

My favourite lately has been the poster who started about six threads asking about the name Hannah.

@ImaSababa oohh, i missed that one. Do share the link.

What tends to happen is that by thread 20 the op has worked out that if they leave out pertinent details - like the fact the partner they're talking about is violent and dangerous - that they can mislead people into giving different answers.

So you can watch as they repost and repost, gradually removing the details that were causing people to give them advice they didn't want to hear (like "leave before he kills you" ) until they can manipulate people into saying what they want to hear.

It's quite sad to watch.

@user14562156358 it is. The posts i am referring to are not DV, thankfully.

It is frustrating though , as a poster on threads, to see other posters on same threads offering the same good advice and it is ignored by the OP and the OP is confrontational. I am always reminded that threads started are real people and need help. There is always a small minority on each thread who will encourage and "goad" the Op and the op invariably latches onto that to suit their narrative.

But when the OP name changes, comes back with the same issue, day in day out, even i start to feel a bit bleurgh! I feel bad for that but there are only so many ways you can say the same thing. I guess some people just don't want to hear. As a poster who contributes to threads , i guess the onus is on me to become more detached and not worry so much for the people i and others are trying to advise.

Bumping my own thread.

I have not had the response i desired from my post. I am now off to post this same thread under a diff username in " Relationships" , "chat" "tv addicts " and "sex".

They are so much nicer in those topics.... and will agree with me...

...so there !
