Odd - weird and wonderful - almost unbelievable - or is it just me?

There seems to be some very odd threads here right now - those I can hardly follow they are so convoluted. Some that are so bizarre they seem quite unbelievable.

Almost every thread that discusses a mere mundane activity like shopping or watching TV seem to have far more of the "Oh I don't do that/watch that and I never would" type comments. What the **? Why comment at all? What value are these people adding to the thread?

And there should be a warning sign that pops up before you comment RTT (Read the thread)! People asking questions that have already been answered - suggesting things that have already been discussed or making suggestions when the poster has clearly dealt with whatever issue was troubling them.

And yes, I probably am having a grumpy Granny day grin but there seems to be a surplus of the odd ones right now.

It's probably the heat...

And some people wish to try to be superior to others, I have realised.

I have just read a thread which was very bizarre. I have seen posts in the past where the original poster is accused of being a troll, though I never guessed that. This one seems too far fetched to be possible (though I could be wrong).

I had to go and find it.

Yes, glad.

There have been too many posters lately, trying to police threads.
Glad LilyGransnet wrote what she did.

It is.
But there are also threads which are started which are genuine it seems.
