let's imagine the scenario.......I have 5 minutes peace so make myself a cuppa and sit down to have a browse through AIBU (All going well so far). Then it seems that virtually every thread at the moment seems to be started by people who just want to cause aggravation. Not people wanting advice or a debate or even a giggle but people who want to be bloody minded and annoying just for the sake of it. I know AIBU is meant for debate and it's not always pretty but FFS January is depressing enough without AIBU turning into a bear pit full of bigots with nothing better to do than wind each other up.......and breathe!
(By the way it seems to be the same 5 people doing it too!!! Please go and annoy some Daily Mail readers somewhere else )

I just want a bit of normal AIBU troll spotting isn't the problem it's the incessant stirring I can't cope with

Which threads are you talking about? Maybe I am looking at different ones, but I don't remember aggravation.

The "aren't I special cause I am married/don't live on benefits/beat my children with silver spoons/have a husband who is my sister's sister etc etc etc", the threads patently designed to wind up and which usually turn into name calling within about 3 posts!

hobnob yes I think I know the ones you mean. It would be lovely if we could all live a certain way, but for some of us who can't work etc, benefits are a necessity. And yes, I enjoy being married but that doesn't mean that everyone has to be married. Some people are a bit smug (and I am not actually thinking of anyone in particular, just some seem to think they are better than others).
