Why do certain posters think a topic in AIBU a green light for them to be an absolute c

THERE'S NO NEED TO BE SO FUCKING MEAN

I loved AIBU at first, but now I hate it, I think posters are unecessarily nasty in it.

there should be an

'I'm a nasty mean bastard thread'

where they can spout to their hearts content

I quite like AIBU, people don't feel the need to tiptoe around each others feelings for fear of upsetting each other. If a poster asks for other people's opinions, they can't be too upset when they get those opinions.

Quite a lot of the time though, people do just use it who are up for a argument, regardless of what their actual views are.

This is what we need

I love AIBU, a bit of brutal discussion is sorely needed at least once a week. Don't take away my joy!!!

AIBU - is a question asking to be judged ... and found wanting ...

There is also a WWYD - for advice and a more open debate ... yes???

There are just too many threads and topics on MN and IMHO some need to be edited and others should disappear ... I think often posters wrongly just hit the default AIBU/CHAT topics.

I am endlessly fascinated by the seemingly innocuous OPs which turn into unadulterated vicious bile.

They are brilliant.

I also think we need to coin a law akin to Godwin's- ie that at some point during any given thread, the argument turns to breastfeeding. That's when it all kicks off

when i first came on here 6 months ago i had no idea aibu could be so nasty - i was so horrified i didn't revisit until about a month ago & of course I get it now. When you're a new mum and hormonal and think you are going somewhere for support i think it can be ghastly. There are also some utter wankers who, on the most reasonable aibu, turn nasty and bullying... like some vile pack of chavvy school girls.

curious the bile and derogatory terms used to describe others on aibu -not self of course.as it dem other bigger gerls being chavs not you of course.oh no the mn neutral ohwelliverynever posters see the foaming groaning herd,yet remain impervious

aye right

yeah get a backbone mamaG

aibu asks for it

it was meant to be satirical irony - was it not?
then the newbs came and took the whole thing literally and now cry like BIG FAT BABIES.

if you want a serious answer to a serious question DO NOT POST in aibu

sm- I see bile as a positive.

Makes a thread more interesting

to illustrate aibu bullying/sadism shout cunt and big ole SHOUTY swearing to demonstrate the alternative moderate reflective other stance

hahaha

so y'all pipe up all the yes they are cunts/bitches/bullies on aibu posts.emm forming a mass of opinion

clearly the irony was lost on some of you

Isn't there another website where everything is moderated? hun

I like AIBU. No one in their right mind posts on AIBU if they aren't prepared to take the flack.

scottishmummy are you pissed??

is that the best you can manage.try harder
i will type slower so you can think faster if that helps

type slower for me - becuase i didn't understand a word

you sound delightful [hmmm]

fandago,so you make sneery remark. i retort and you gey all humphy.how does that work?

here a wee tip dont make lil digs and get arsey if you get some back

dont give it if you cant take it, hun
oh hugs so you dont feel got at

but the OP could have some kind of specialneeds

What alsways amuses me about this sort of whining thread is that people seem not to notice that when someone squeals and stamps her ickle foot about how HOWWID everyone else has been, it's always a poster who has had a well-deserved online kicking for either posting something witless or something very contentious and then bleating when disagreed with politely or corrected on a fact.

LOL YES maybe op was struggling to get a P&T parking space

we dont know
how very dare we judge

yanbu

nyeeve i think thats the first time ever you have made me LOL

It's not just AIBU, there's attacks all over the thread

I now post in safe-safe-safe mode and avoid getting in too deep for my own mental safety. Once a thread leaves you shaking, you change- and the thing is its so easy for somene anonymous to accidentally the buttons that hurt the most.

It does bother me sometimes; there was a very sad thread on here about a woman who missed her child and wanted to see more of her, but the child lived with her ex. She got a lot of vitriolic rage and poor advice. I was worried about what happened to the family in real life.

On the other hand AIBU had satisfied my long standing curiosity as to why women in 4 wheels drives behave as if they hate pedestrians and think they (the driver) have a right to disabled parking
