To hate the passive-agressive "are you ok?" tack people take on AIBU threads?

[thisismynewname]

You know...someone is arguing a point, and someone else will come along and say something like "you seem quite upset about this, have you sought any help? I only say this because I care."

Bollocks is it said because they care, it's a transparent attempt to undermine the poster and really very rude.

pmsl @ wellie mums post. U are so right, all this people disagreeing with op but theop selects the 2 or 3 in agreement (prob same poster and diff name) and strops off PMSL.. reminds me of thread i was on yesterday.

Perosnally i also like the fuck off and your talking shite attitude. Hell if i am wrong i can always apologise. Hate the patronising bullshit, reminds me too much of work and i dont have to be politically correct here.

'Yeah but winding idiots up till their brains leak out of their noses is all part of the fun of the Internet. And once you know that they are screaming at the screen and have shat themselves in outrage, then you can start with the 'Oh dear, you poor thing have you considered therapy or a nice cup of tea? Here's a hanky to dry those tears...'
Works every time.'

Nail.on.head.there, solid .

PMSL @ solid.

Scent, Kerry. Scent!!!!! Get a grip, girl!

ummm...not sure that was a good thing to admit solidgold....who's gonna take any notice of you now?

'winding idiots up till their brains leak out of their noses'

Sounds like something a stroppy teenager would say (and not a very bright one at that) in order to spice up their dull life. Is it not more adult, more intelligent to engage in debate without deliberately insulting people?

Oh and just plain respectful! I prefer to operate with the ethos that although we are all strangers on the internet, we are all people (I hope).

But then I am not here, nor have the right to change those that get kicks out of this sort of thing. But indeed 'are you all right? you might need help!'

LOL at the suggestion that solidgold's life is dull!

well yeah, she's probably forgottan more about sex than i'll ever know...but that doesn't mean she can't bore for england.

I know nothing of the dullness or not of mumsnetter's lives, you are right

But I am [scetical] of people who would come on here just to wind people up

Maybe I should try it

ooops [sceptical]

ooops

• obviously an idiot who deserves to be wound up

Oh God just saw some brain drip from my chin

It's certainly going to make the porn threads less messy for me, sgb

You could try a small cork up each nostril maybe, OBM

Sometimes when someone is being completely nutty and OTT about something trivial they get a lot of these replies.
I prefer to just wade and say 'Sort yourself out, FFS!'.

thisismynewname You seem really upset by this and I am sensing some anger. Have you thought of an anger management course or some counselling to work through those negative issues?

I'm only asking out of concern for you........PMSL

i think there's a difference in someone being ott and being deliberately annoying.

i might talk rubbish, .but it's genuine from the heart rubbish..i'm not trying to wind anyone up.

sgb has admitted she's a wind up..i will never believe her sex advice again..i now know she's a 75 yr old nun with a bit of an imagination.

It's not my nose that concerns me, sgb

Oh. Might I suggest some nice rubber undies then?

Are you lot ok?

I agree, I've had this. You must be in need of a few hours on the couch, because......... you don't agree with me.

I wasn't aware SGB was a heralded sexpert.

[wanders off to search for some juicy threads by SGB]

i thought so called "sexperts" and folk who talk about S-E-X are usually not getting any

like Madge flashing her scraggy bits and yakking about sex

allegedly hasn't had any RL action in along time
