What's with all the 'xx♥️♥️' on posts?

[JustOneLastThing]

It's driving me crackers. Please can we stop ending posts with love hearts and kisses.

You aren't texting your Mum and frankly it's irrelevant and distracting!

It'll be sparkly banners and glittery white next.

It didn't.

lol

Let's have another go. [loveheart]

pmsl hun ect.

How do you make a red heart appear?

Ooooh.

So my trusty dinosaur of a laptop is incapable of producing this annoying emoji?

Must have a word with Microsoft or something hun xxx

It's been revamped LaMarscallin so everyone has left.

Ah!

It was a while ago, but that would explain the echoes when I stuck my nose round the door and tentatively called "Hello?" followed by "hello...ello...ello...lo...".
I felt very old out of place after reading the odd posts I did find.
Mind you, I think my daughters might have felt the same.

I can do without difficulty. Also and

U ok hun? DM me if you need to talk 😂😂😂😂

@TheMustressMhor who needs heart emojis when there's a smiley of a bottle of gin?

I love the symbol.

I can use to greatest effect when annoying people on threads about cyclists.

lol

Well now, WhatTiggersDoBest, I have to agree.

When there's a choice of and and who needs a fucking heart emoji anyway?

to the OP for starting such an absorbing thread.

I use phone emojis sometimes.

Especially if I want something a bit more full-on than a .
Tend to use a 😀 on those (extremely rare) occasions.
The MN looks like a scary yellow skull to me.

I could do 🔩 or 👃 but haven't an earthly why I'd want to.

Oops, sorry. Nearly forgot the 😘

I am glad that you have such a wide choice of emojis LaMarschallin but sadly, as I do not possess a SmartPhone, I am not able myself to take advantage of this startling array of methods of expressing emotion.

and to you all.

TheMustress is off to beddy-byes. xxx

TheMustressMhor

and to you all

You don't need any other emojis, imo.

Night night

Oh ffs not another one of these threads. Does it really annoy you that much OP? Does it really have the effect of distracting you entirely from a thread?

What’s wrong with a bit of PDA? Less of the repressive bollocks and let’s show more love I say. Live and let live. How people are getting scorned on here for being nice is frankly incredulous to me.

Can't say on here, inbox me hun xxx

@Leftielefterson I’m pained to say this but I agree with you Leftie!

The slagging off of another parenting site because they think they’re superior is rather sad.

My first post on MN having come from a non swearing Irish parenting site was not pleasant. I was berated for using lol and (I may have lost the run of myself) cunt
It was like the locals didn’t want newbies.
I never used NM
I have to say I’ve not noticed the hearts, kisses, hubbies and bubba’s on MN
What I hated was the “ Giving you an unmumsnetty hug” What was that about?!

Ah a post purely for running women down in a judgemental way. The funny thing is a lot of these posters will be on another post, probably in the feminism board, pretending they are supportive of all women
Good ol' Mumsnet

@Sux2buthen I’ve reported the thread but Mumsnet likes the sheeple so no doubt they’ll let it stay.

Mumsnet used to be so much better years ago. It’s really gone downhill, not just with the type of posters it attracts now but the moderation is poor and biased.

@Sux2buthen oh, the irony of your post.

Posts like yours are precisely the honesty that disappears behind all the fake affection.

Personally I hope MN never becomes an echo chamber. I like the culture of the various boards just as they are.

Just having a try 👊

I'm disappointed my attempt worked - I much prefer old school MN emojis. 😭

behind all the fake affection.

Who says it is fake?

We see posts all the time about how terribly awful MN is, people are mean and cruel etc. That's fake too is it?

People can have genuine emotion when dealing with others on the internet, whether that be a positive or negative emotion. That you don't like it, doesn't make it fake.

This is the ultimate "mean girls" thread. Picking on people who have come here from another board. because you think your way is better. I'm sure if you keep on you'll soon get rid of the "nice" and can go back to complaining about how terrible people in MN are.

Why do people use the term hubby 🤮

Gives me instant rage.

People can have genuine emotion when dealing with others on the internet, whether that be a positive or negative emotion. That you don't like it, doesn't make it fake.

Of course they can. I even end posts with kisses occasionally - if I actually mean it. But ending every post with a kiss or sticking them in usernames makes them meaningless, doesn’t it?
