Did Matthew Wright just say that MNers have a limited grasp of English?

[cupcakesandbunting]

I'm sure he did, the cheeky fecker.

I happen to think that the standard of English on here is pretty darn good.

AIBU to want to kick him in the shins?

oh, if you heard it on here, wonderstuff, it must be true

Ha ha at libel laws

( falls into reverie at mumsnet having to prove that Matthew Wright is actually a cunt)

Matthew I'll see you in court, love.

I have just registerd on cunts corner.Evildead - how do you discover that such things exist. I am not very internet literate and spend all my time on MN

You can tell by the complete balls up I made of doing bold and crossing out!

TED2 That site is horrid, very nasty, much as I think MW was (and often is) misguided in his comments - one of the posters there said he was a c* because he wouldn't let the BNP on his show.
TBH I think this is getting a bit OTT
So I'm off..

But this is the mistake on the other thread!

MN does not have to prove that MW is a cunt. MW has to prove that he is not a cunt. AND he has to prove that MN know he is not a cunt but called him one to be vicious.

I think he would have a job on his hands personally

you can't condemn a whole site though, on the basis of the people who read it. Surely that is not under the sites control?

I just googled Mathew Wright is a cunt wonderstuff and karma believer, I wanted to see if the AIBU thread was still available on google cache.

I take no responsibilty for any thing posted on cunts corner, just like I take no responsibilty for anything posted by Daftpunk on mumsnet

No

mumsnet has to prove that what is published is factually correct.

MW does not have to prove anything.

And isn't libel. Just an offensive expression of opinion that mumsnrt probably don't want on their site.

Should we post this in legal? Just to be sure?

Let them debate MW's cuntiness.

at evildead

well I am probably out of date then. had many a client succeed with fair comment defense. But i am old

Well in a parallel universe where this is going to court, mumsnet would have to prove that they took every precaution in establishing MW's cunt credentials. They would then have to put his cuntiness to him and allow him right to reply.

But you are all expressing an opinion, honestly held, so I doubt you have much to worry about.

That said, I have been sued for libel do maybe best to ignore 'me

just had a proper look at cunts corner. joined because I do agree wrt MW, but actually it is horrible over there. Have asked them to deregister me. That'll teach me to join stuff without looking at it properly!

To the lawyers here...

How does one prove cuntiness? Beyond a reasonable doubt and all...

Let the jury watch his show?

Sorry Karma!

Yes it is fair comment - we could make him prove that mumsnetters are illiterate

Not your fault TED2. Tis mine for not reading it properly first

Commander and Evil - it does almost beg to go to court in a weird 'watching through your fingers' way

I am not even going to look for cunts corner. I have no isse with the word but group nastiness gets all misdirected and explosive

To be fair, sometimes our English does stray. For instance, in the OP the last word of the first sentence should have a 'u' in it.

I thought he was complaining because most mumsnetters don't share his own high opinion of himself (reads between lines as grasp of English so small I cannot read anything correctly).

I have an English degree so shall now leave mumsent as you are a bunch of ignorant people

...see, can't even spell Mumsnet, that proves I should leave!!!!

Wouldn't we also have to provide an accurate definition of a cunt against which to measure Wright's alleged cuntiness?
