"Wonderful Advice"

[GlamorousHeifer]

I see this mostly when people post in relationships.
Someone will type out a lengthy post (that can basically be condensed to 'leave the tosser') including links to easily Google-able charities, the tone of the post is always very authoritative (you must do this, you must do that) and reads like it has been written by someone that considers themselves an expert on the topic.
No problem, all good even if I do want to roll my eyes at yet another essay essentially trotting out the same information.
The kicker usually comes about three or four posts after, one of the essay writers fan girls shows up essentially to congratulate them on giving such wonderful/amazing advice, fan girl has nothing to add but just wants to point out how amazing essay writer is. From this moment no one is allowed to disagree with essay writers advice or fan girl pops up with robust defence and usually a few insults to the intelligence of anyone who cannot see what is so amazing about essay writer and their opinions.
This usually ends up in a bun fight and anyone else's advice is lost in a sea of posts either arguing with or agreeing with fan girl (essay writer is long gone being an authority on something else!)
Aibu to wonder why some people on mn almost hero worship certain posts to the point they get massively upset if another poster disagrees with them?

One of the most irritating things here is two posters arguing back and forth endlessly often over some minuscule point. It ruins the thread.

Because the essay writer (yuk) has put time and effort into trying to help someone and the fan girl (double yuk) agrees with them. Very often it's about domestic abuse/coercive control/sexual abuse and the person the fan girl is arguing with is someone who will say something like "yeah but he didn't actually hit you, you shouldn't break up your family over just that" or "me and my wife tell each other to shut the fuck up all the time and we don't mind, so you shouldn't either, it's not abusive" or "yeah but he only punched the wall, he didn't punch you". (All examples I've seen in the last week - let's give those people a twee nickname too... Let's call them abuse apologists)

Fan girl doesn't need to write out the whole essay again - it's been said. It's not hero worship too say you agree with someone's well written, thought out and helpful post. But stupid comments like the ones above deserve to be challenged because women are conditioned to be kind and ignore abuse if it's not a man hitting you, and some people want op to know it's ok if you dont want to accept abuse from your partner. The links essay writer provides may be easily googled but if you don't know you're living with abuse, how do you know what to Google?

Are you one of the abuse apologists? Your scathing post reads like you think people shouldn't give out well thought out, helpful advice on the relationships board to people in difficult relationships.

"Links to easily google-able charities"
Such a weird thing to say I can't get my head round it.
You ought to ring up citizen's advice bureau and tell them to stop giving people advice and links to help them as it's on the Internet somewhere.
Same goes with women's helplines, NHS, cancer helplines, alcohol and addiction phone lines and so on.
All of them giving out links to vulnerable/traumatized/ ill people when the lazy fuckers should find them themselves on Google
Weird.
