to be sick of threads asking for people's opinions on things, in which the poster gets upset if someone's opinion is not what they want to hear.

[HereComeTheGirls]

Apologies if this has been done a million times before, haven't been on here that long

But aaaaaaargh

Why post asking for opinions then get all huffy if the opinion makes you feel bad or isn't what you want to hear?

Have just encountered this a LOT today and it frankly puts me off posting on any thread which asks for my honest opinion.

Note: I will not be offended by any opinion on this topic

I completely disagree

What, you mean like:

What do you think of the name 'Chavisha'?

It's vile.

Boooo hooooo waaaaah

????

How dare you

Yes MrsMattie - then also other posts saying "don't listen to these meanies slagging off your choice of name, they just don't want you to be happy in your lovey life with little Chavisha"

:0

the how dare you was directed at youknownothing

I mean
And... yes, YABU.

You are talking out of your arse.....

uh oh..I get worried when people say :0 on a thread I post...

Not that you aren't entitled to your opinion

and a fine huge arse it is

Yup. I've moaned about this myself, many times . It's because they are not wanting opinions they are wanting confirmation of their opinion. You are supposed to say "I totally agree with you in every aspect of your OP. You are correct and no sane person could possibly disagree with you." They want reassurance, backing up, they may even want to shove a thread with 200 posts agreeing with them right up their partner/mother/friends arse. "Look, everyone knows i'm right!" They are so convinced that they are right, that a post disagreeing with their pov is as big a shock as getting flashed at by the Pope! And by not agreeing with them, they feel you are attacking them and they get arsey.

.....wish I had a smaller arse and bigger boobs..... sigh.

Sorry, felt that YAB soooo U that I would hijack the thread instead and talk about meeeeee.....

I don't mind it at all when that happens. That is one of the joys of AIBU threads - the tension, the conflict, the tears, the angst.

Eeew at being flashed at by the pope. He's a wrinkly old man! And I was just about to go and have lunch.

I don't mind..as long as they are moaning at some other poor sod about their opinion and not moi

It happens an awful lot. Must be the human condition, being convinced one is right and ignoring all evidence to the contrary.

Although of course I am, right, all the time.

We need an 'I'm right, come and agree with me' board.

Yes, which we could all then avoid like the plague..or go to and stir people up by disagreeing with them

here is one such thread..for anyone who feels like expressing an opinion

Aww ignore that, I see it has suddenly taken a very reasonable turn

Well, maybe there could be two boards for either type of post so people could decide where to post

And you are so damn NICE

which is why I suggested yesterday that we should have a topic for "I just want a hug not an argument", and those of us who don't do hugs can steer clear!

Yes that is a good idea!
