there's been an AIBU thread already hasn't there? About how gratuitously nasty it can get?

I keep seeing disclaimers on AIBU threads, saying 'Oh but of course I can say that and be really horrible to the OP because this is in AIBU'.

I think it's being taken as the point of the board - to vent your own frustrations even if they are nothing to do with the thread...just a place to go and be mean to someone if you have had a bad day or don't like people with 'mummy' in their posting name, or who wear white socks, or so on.

I really hate it and wish it wasn't there. Surely it's supposed to be for those who really can't figure out a situation, or in order to have a wee joke sometimes, a silly vent about something daft, I dunno...not a place to kick each other around.

We think you might have a point here about the disclaimer making it seem Ok for folks to be more robust in their response than they would otherwise. Should we kick it into touch - what do others think?

(NB we will always delete personal attacks if reported - even in AIBU - so do report them)

Hi all,
We've updated the AIBU disclaimer along the lines of your suggestions. Many thanks for the input.
