AIBU to take more pleasure from the spats on MN than the genuine / helpful / lovely comments?

This place is fucking hilarious.

But doing that doesn’t get you the dopamine hit that posting a comment like that does. And that’s what it’s all about I think, a human need to win a conversation or get a nice feeling from writing something horrible.

In the uk we love to bring someone down, but only if that person is either mean to others or see themselves as superior. It's called "punching up", or giving someone back what they dish out. I think this is socially acceptable (within reason, death threats and racism/slurs are always unacceptable).

But there's an awful lot of "punching down" and completely unprovoked, goady attacks on MN. I can't understand why some get a kick out of doing that - it's pathetic.

I also hate the stupid, mindless, parroted comments like "first world problems, get over yourself", or "drama llama, just myob". It adds nothing to the discussion and it's so BORING. If you think the OP is dumb, just move on, and if you must comment at least try to be a bit more original.

It was a joke. Sorry. Thought I was keeping in theme but it didnt land.

It really depends.

I find it entertaining when you get the extreme reactions to a minor problem - LTB blows my mind in a lot of cases. But outright nastiness and pack mentality can be vile on here.

There was a post about builders helping themselves to the posters fridge. I couldn't believe the amount of response saying let it go!

It does seem some posters can take offence to almost anything and twist things when it's plainly obvious what was meant.

But yes, MN definitely has major bemusement value IMO!

Ahhhhh sorry! So hard to tell!

I hate a wasted joke!
