... to expect that, if you're going to post on an AIBU thread, you should at least take the time to read the thread??

[beforesunrise]

well that's it really. i know AIBU is all about having fun, and having a go at OP is part of the game, but it is sometimes insanely irritating when people come into the game later on and only skim read the thread, thereby not acknowledging, for example, any clarifications or changes in attitude of the OP, or any admissions that, well perhaps IAB a bit U, thanks.

no

I find the same. They often have a real go at OP who apologised and changed her mind 20 messages earlier! It is very common to miss the fact that they whole thing changed completely half way through!

I suppoe people should read the thread but on a message board things move fast, we dip in and out, we are var busy people (apart from the lazy bums ) and often I cannot be arsed reading teh whole thread.

No YANBU, I don't see the point of posts that start "Couldn't be bothered to read all the thread but..".

Sorry-the not they.

I always think -why bother to comment if you can't be bothered to read it!

because I want to.

because I am a fast moving flibbertygibbet

Not read all this thread but YANBU.

lol lots

agree

if you are going to make a comment then you need to read ad get all the facts imo

well the facts should be in the OP then..............people read the thread title, and the OP - and that's what they generally respond to.

but sometimes you change your mind in response to what people say- and isnt' that the point anyway?

so which is the underlying thread that you are referring to ?

Some of these threads are miles long though. I get your point, but it can be rather tricky!

well maybe if op didnt revise and alter narratives according to response received

so clarifications/alterations could also be changing story when no one being affirmative.why not say pertinent facts in op

tbh,if you post on AIBU do expect an often verbose.dont get humpy if no likey the response

onus on op to lay story out factually not bit by bit

YABVU
Pink elephants do not belong in a zoo no matter how many peanuts you shell
Jeez

Stealth? Que?

haven't read the whole thread, but yabu.

no , changed my mind- yanbu, as long as the hread isn't var var long

well Imo yabu
sometimes I don't read thr whole thread until after I have posted.
why? so that I can give an un biased onion

I agree with 2shoes I don't like biased onions either I generally give my views from the op's first post generally the op's views change because they don't like being flamed therefore there orignal post is what they think.

Also its very annoying having to read page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page.............. before you can get your bits in.

Oh i cant be arsed dont have time to read the whole thread, i am at work doncha know

And i like to have my 2p's worth so i just post away

Depends on

• how long the thread is

• how much relevant info the OP remembers makes up as she goes along

And if you start an AIBU thread, then you deserve what you get.

Stealth
I don't get the pink elephants comment, having a thick day today.

stealth- You want your horse to look good but you also want it not to have to eat grass.
