AIBU to find it quite odd when people post this as a response in AIBU?

Unless I am mistaken I thought AIBU threads were for 2 purposes - to ask something about a personal experience or to comment on the oddities of life in general?

For the latter of course it is nothing to do with anyone - but is that not half the point of AIBU?

Its nothing to do with you what others start threads about. (sorry couldnt resist)

OrmRenewed · 29/01/2010 15:12

Yes, I've had a few responses along those lines. And of course they are right, but as you say it rather negates the point of the topic

I think that it's fair enough to say to some snarky busybody that she is being unreasonable sticking her judgey/nosy/jealous (delete as applicable) beak into someone else's business.
Very often AIBU is all sbout people taking far too much interest in things that really aren't their concern so it's a valid response.....imo
YABU

Yep I know what you mean!

OP >> AIBU about this thing?

Me >> Well I think YABU. I would have done X Y and Z.

OP >> Well really!!! I'm so not BU!!!!!

I have had to stay away from an AIBU thread today as the Op is totaly pfb and really dosnt want to hear it.
Such is love, life and AIBU!

Well said Ronald.

I know what you mean Kinnie. (whisper!! It's not the school & lunch one is it?)

WhoIsAsking · 29/01/2010 15:25

But saying "It's got nothing to do with you" is a valid response to the question "AIBU to report someone I don't know for something I'm not sure happened"

I can't see how the response of it's got nothing to do with you negates the AIBU topic.

kinnies · 29/01/2010 15:28

Lol! Could'nt poss say!!

upahill · 29/01/2010 15:32

Well it's still all happening on a certain thread and showing no signs of 'I see what you mean'

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 29/01/2010 15:41

Oh come on at least it's a better response than that fucking stupid biscuit. Why bother?

Abubu · 29/01/2010 15:49

Hi,

I dont know what thread you are talking about - I havent seen it.

I am meaning the kind of thread where someone says "do you find it odd when someone does / says / thinks this or that..."

Then someone responds with "its nothing to do with you what other people say / do / think..."

Um - but surely the point is that the thread is just an observation...

Oh I see.

I think I've told people to mind their own when they have been (in my opinion) mean and judgy to others (usually new mums who are having a hard time)
But I am always right.

for Jamie

junglist1 · 29/01/2010 18:43

If it's my thread I wouldn't think that, what I can't stand is getting flamed for giving my opinion to the OP. Then it's kind of "speak to the OP I'm not interested in your opinion on my opinion"
