I think that you lot are really uncaring and ignorant. I have read a thread where nearly all the mums have maybe a young girl feel unwanted and then went on to bitch about it.

I hope that your children become young parents so you know how it feels because you have some sort of problem with it. I think that use need to get a life and think about others. why not have a young parent section?

If it would help a lot of young parents relate to each other.

I think you all need to have a good look in the mirror.

OH by the way I love NETMUMS and the tickers Smile

'If she thinks we're all bullies, she should read the Trinity threads, and the Christmas Appeal threads, and the Charlotte Ectopic Pregnancy threads.'

Not to mention the constant, low-level support that's all over MN in non-dramatic, ordinary, boring threads.

Indeed LRD

Jen, I gave a 'sensible reply' Sorry that it wasn't of the fluffy kind that you may be used to with everyone acquiescing to your opinions.

Here we like a debate Grin

Tippychoocks · 24/08/2010 22:51

Well that's settled then. You called us twats because you were upset about somebody posting on another site and that's much better and more well-mannered than us staying here and talking about tickers. Much more mature. You're so right.

MumMumMummyMum · 24/08/2010 22:51

Sorry must be the effort of keeping up with 2 threads! Too much for my little netmums head to handle with all the litter.

By the way I never called you ALL bullies as it says above.

I said i'm sure some of you are lovely but the way you have responded on here is rude and ignorant.

I don't care whether the studd was said at the beinning or end the fact you stereotype people by the book they are reading have read and the words hun or use of tickers?

Is that really how you evaluate how useful someones opinion is. Or whether their feelins are worth taking into account.

The OP felt she had witnessed an abusive and rude thread and I have to say I agree that the thread was horrible. Wht the hell has it gone from that to trolls going over to netmums posting threads that are made up or just there to cause trouble?

Jen, I thought mine was sensible. What is it you want to know/didn't feel was answered?

I don't keep away from MN-bashing threads because in my experience (not so very much, but enough) MN is very good and very supportive. And while there are quite a lot of forums where people make chatty, friendly, poorly-written posts, MN is unusual in being dominated by intelligent people whose writing style doesn't make my teeth ache. Sorry, but it matters to me, and I think MN is unusual and worth defending.

How are you not posting on another forum to cause trouble just like whoever it was that you're on about? Do you not see how it is the same? Seriously?

JaneS · 24/08/2010 22:54

Of what are we ignorant, MMMM?

Tippychoocks · 24/08/2010 22:54

Ah now, lookit, my grammar is all wonky. See what you've done, made me cross. Spoilt our lovely chat about oven gloves and made me cross.

This is the internet, hun. We can only judge each other by the words on the screen.

And if the words on the screen are "lol", "hun" and "a child called it" then you are a tool.

Tippychoocks · 24/08/2010 22:56

Oh cupcakes. You are cheering me up again.

Hold it though. Isn't "tool" swearing?

jen2626 · 24/08/2010 22:56

right ok, im geting lost, its hard keeping up with each page on here, maybe i missed some of your replies so i apologise to those of you that replied a sensible answer. i dont mind swearing and yes i do swear, but just not all the time! i can see where your coming from littlereddragon but i feel netmums is worth defending. i just think it would be nice if everyone myself included could let things go and understand some like netmums and some like mumsnet.

"I don't care whether the studd was said at the beinning or end"

Erm... refer you to my post...

"Interesting MMMM, you say: "AlfieScottsMum stated an opinion there was no need to be rude in return"

So you agree she was rude to start with?

re her "uncaring and ignorant" comment in her OP presumably"

You cared enough to post...

Tippychoocks · 24/08/2010 23:00

Like I said Jen, the thread here (unlike the one on NM it seems) hasn't been about the OP for pages. We're wittering on about imaginary cupboards based on a very old novel that involved a pretend class-led battle between counter-hons and Hons. It's all a lovely joke. We like silliness.

We're not getting upset but I wonder why you feel the need to come and have a pop.

yeah maybe it is, but i also see alot of you openeing fake account starting fake threads just to wind us up! i just dont see the point. this all started somewhere and i dont know where but surely we are all grown up enough to leave it as it is and move on!

JaneS · 24/08/2010 23:01

jen, I've never gone on netmums to rant at them, and I think that's the difference. I see what you're saying, but surely it'd be more productive just to stay on NM if you prefer it?

MumMumMummyMum · 24/08/2010 23:01

Tippychoocks- I came over here as I didn't THINK it would be as bad as was being portrayed.

I thought that a group of adults wouldn't be judging people based on how young they were when they became parents or by what book was on their shelf.

How wrong I was!

I was appalled by the comments made hence why I posted on here.

If this was on NMs it would of been pulled because in all fairness what is the point of arguing about websites you guys stay here and we will stay over there.

However the fact that no-one from Mumsnet has actually posted anything slightly decent makes me keep responding as I don't understand why you cannot see that alot of the comments that have been made have been rude and judgemental.

I am not posting on here in a different language or calling you names, I am not saying one website is better I am simply stating that alot of what has been said is judgemental.

Valpollicella · 24/08/2010 23:01

Pixie, to be fair teasing about tickers is a hell of a way from being called twats and blullies!
