What’s with the influx of posters researching others?

I’ve seen this a lot recently. Someone asks for advice (normal MN type post) and someone miles down in the comments will say ‘looking at all your other posts you need to sort out this and that’ - mostly a snide comment alluding to someone’s marriage being in the shit or concluding the poster has some sort of MH issue. I’m not surprised people NC every post. I might have been oblivious to this but do people generally do due dil on others here or is this new? Excluding times when a poster makes a couple of threads within days of each other and they’re recognised of course.

AIBU to think some of these posters are a bit OTT, and purposefully trying to “dig up dirt” to stir the pot?

With the amount believing and engaging with obvious troll threads, that are often later deleted by mumsnet, unfortunately many posters seem completely oblivious to trolls.

I have to admit I’m that gullible. I often take threads at face value 😂😂
