What actually is the point of AIBU?

From what I've seen there are only 4 types of threads in AIBU:

  1. An overwhelming majority believe the OP is BU but the OP will keep battling to prove that they're not. Everyone virtually kicks the shit out of the OP.
  1. An overwhelming majority believe the OP is BU, the OP accepts they're BU and everyone continues to virtually kick the shit out of them regardless.
  1. An overwhelming majority agree the OP is NBU but the odd poster who offers a different opinion gets the shit kicked out of them virtually.
  1. A fairly mixed response to the OP but everyone believes strongly that they are right and everyone kicks the virtual shit out of everyone.

It's just a playground for those who want to beat the crap out of others right? What does anyone ever actually get from posting here?
Mostly it's just full to the brim with people who want a fight no matter what.

You’ve a good point, actually. Seems like the busiest board though.

Exactly.

A nice bottle of wine and AIBU on a Friday night is top class entertainment.
