miserable mumsnetters and MY mental health!

I love mumsnet or, at least, I did until recently...
but there are two posters who really give me the groan factor whenever I see their names appear..I know they are never going to say anything remotely positive about anything. And its irritating the way they try to focus the thread's attention on themselves with each post they make. Its really depressing to see their names crop half way through my enjoyment of reading a good debate or a chatty thread.
So my question is...can I block posts from these specific people so that I dont have to read their posts on a thread, at least until they change their name? At the moment, I can only avoid those threads that they start.

They really are depressing and if I didn't have to go to an enormous effort to try and avoid their clouds of doom and gloom because they weren't there to read, mumsnet would be easier and more enjoyable!

And anyway I can't think of anyone who is miserable all the time.

No you can't so tough. If you don't like it, well you know what to do. Some posters are having a tough time and might be a bit down and mn might be their only outlet. that might be you one day.

is it me?
not sure there's anything you can do tbh.

I would go to Netmums if I were you. It's much more civilised and nobody is allowed to say anything against anyone.
