What is going on with mumsnet??

[Mum2threexx]

Not long ago I came across a post asking for advice and some of the comments on the post was awful! Definitely uncalled for and unprovoked, this site was for people to talk and get advice, not to have all sorts of accusations thrown around! No wonder suicide happens when there is such nasty people in this world! Be kind people it don't cost nothing! Everyone Is entitled to opinions but this was disgusting what I seen, at this point I'm disappointed and ashamed to be part of such group!

You aren't part of a group. You're individually posting on an anonymous online forum alongside lots of other individuals. People come on here for all kinds of reasons, and they won't necessarily be the same reasons that you come on here for.

If it's that bad then report the posts, otherwise click out of the thread and move on. Not every one is who they say they are and there are plenty of trolls, mras and keyboard warriors who visit here deliberately to upset - we have no way of knowing if you are one yourself 😱

If you are ashamed to be a mumsnetter then there are plenty of other websites out there that might suit you better, there are lots of lovely, kind posters here and you shouldn't be mass scolding us/them all.

Use your report button.

Hurt people, hurt people 🤷‍♀️

I think a lot of people are having a particularly shite time at the moment and lashing out at someone else feels good in the moment. Sad but true

You’re absolutely right that being kind doesn’t cost nothing.

It’s nearly always women & girls who are expected to ‘be kind’ & it usually means ‘Put yourself last.’

Please report the threads/post when you see this @Mum2threexx

Mumsnet can't be everywhere

I have reported a couple of nasty threads in the last day or so alone

Please report nasty behaviour, whatever site you are on, as admin struggle to be everywhere. I think there is a group that trolls sites, just to spit venom. Report, ignore, move on, as they love an audience for their spite.

Did you report the posts/thread @Mum2threexx? Because unless it's drawn to MNHQ's attention, they won't see it.

Yes iv reported and others have too, I wasn't trying to tar everyone with the same brush either, just very much aiming it at those who was commenting nasty stuff and throwing accusations around

I agree with @GreenSedan

The only thing that can be assumed that we have in common is being a posting member of MN

I agree @Mum2threexx and i also don't agree with the sentiment often seen here that asking someone to be kind is some sort of misogynistic request that depends on women being socialised to put everyone before themselves. You can be clever and successful and assertive without being an asshole! Really good people manage to be kind and confident, they are not mutually exclusive.

AIBU is a cesspit at times.
