[SpeedyGonzalez]

is just bad manners? I tend to think that people who stick around to explain their thoughts are the only ones worth paying attention to.

yes it's bad manners, but AIBU is famous for attracting unmannerly replies

well yes, but you ask a question...aibu. they have answered with yes you are.

i think if you have asked aibu and if so why then thats different.

YABFuc....(oh I can't be arsed).

YANBU - they are asking to be ignored. The whole POINT of AIBU is to engender a right rolicking good row debate, not one word answers.

GetOrf - yes, there's nowt like a good row!
