to think some of you are nasty

[TripleL]

there's a lot of unnecessary comments go on in here

teh OP of this thread or the other one?
No idea if there's an agenda, but it seems a nasty thread, I don't know how it hasn't kicked off more than it already has - maybe because everyone else isn't taking it quite as seriously as me, me being a miserable witch.
Anyway, it would seem this is not about that thread!
And it's not even a full moon.

Look here (if it works)

nice one, why not just kick a person when they are down

YEs Dippy. Maybe we should all keep out of that, eh?

Dippy, I don't necessarily agree with what she has done but a bit of empathy would surely allow you to understand why she is so upset. Her daughter died. Very recently. The lady in question gets a lot of slack with me because of it.

I agree.

Other posters have been quoted in the national press. If you choose to use your real name, that's the risk you take.

I understand what the OP is saying. There are a few members who seem to trawl the threads just to post smug hurtful comments, but the majority of posts are very helpful and entertaining. I posted for the first time a few weeks ago and apart from a few most were intelligent and honest replies. This is life, mumsnet is no different, its just the same as any school playground, as a child or as a parent!

God, is Avril avril's real name?! Why, why on earth would you choose to MN using your real name?

I think so, but I hope not :(

I assumed that Heytch was just to signify H, iyswim.

Aren't people encouraged to use their real name on Netmums?

Crickey BOF...i thought the same...Heytch meant 'H'

OMG having innocently read this blog and missed the back story, I have gone and looked at the CP post and I am disgusted by some of the people on this forum, SS very recently lost a daughter the same age as mine yet people are more concerned with telling her what she should and should not be doing? Some people do far worse than post a little angry blog and try and argue against the most disgusting ignorant people I have ever come across. SGB astounded me! After hearing someones child recently died she thinkss it is ok to post she chose to take the risk of spreading infection "so sue me" and others seem more concerned she has posted messages on her private blog. Why don't you all take a moment to think what she is going through and cut her a little slack. Its every parents worst nightmare and yet a few seem content on holding a witchhunt. Disgusting.

I think we mostly agree with you over here strawbs.

:(

I've seen Sassy taking a kicking before, months ago when her berievement was even more recent. Maybe I'm naive but I thought even if you disagree with a grieving parent it's better to say nothing and let it go. Why would you ever want to say anything to a parent out of their mind in grief that could upset them more, even if you think you are in the right? Some people perhaps think it ups their status as a straight talking, honest, don't mess with me... or whatever. People should perhaps think more carefully when picking their battles.

look,online discursive forums are strangers opining.you may likey.you may likey not.but wee humphy face doesn't cut it.as i imagine most posters thought their comments applicable

grow a thicker online skin,pile in

whiskey?

I don't agree scottishmummy. Sometimes it's just not okay just to pile in. And sometimes people are not here purely to discuss. I think MN is far more than a discursive forum as people come on here asking for advice.

It may be that you have a very thick online skin but everyone is different. Mumsnet means different things to different people.

We can't all adopt the same approach.

Yes yes, AIBU is mean blah blah blah, if you have a look on the right hand side at the top of your browser there is a way you can make us not be nasty to you.

Having now read this thread I will say that I stay away from chicken pox and vaccination threads because they always descend into the standard shit slinging.
