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

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? Angry

Ah, so that's who/what he is. What a ludicrous creature.

A friend of my brother's once said, of someone she didn't like, "I would call him a cunt, but he lacks the warmth, depth and usefulness of one". On this basis Mr Wright would not appear to be a cunt after all. Perhaps it would be better to describe him as an orange dickhead?

Mind you if he won't have the BNP on his show he's not all bad. I suppose it's just possible that poster was being ironic.

jonesy71 · 04/11/2010 12:08

Don't watch his show, but seeing this thread I've just watched the +1. Loved to see him squirming at the end when he realised the only person who agreed with him was Anne Diamond.

cupcakesandbunting · 04/11/2010 12:09

And Anne Diamond is bonkers.

he just says stupid things to be difficult, he dousnt care hes being paid loads to be an abnoxious twat

jonesy71 · 04/11/2010 12:40

Ooo, I may be the last one to notice this but they've pulled the thread they were discussing on the show.

CommanderDrool · 04/11/2010 12:45

Hmm

I think we may need a Mumsnet cunt scale with which to measure cuntiness. I am sure there are some illiterate scientists on mumsnet who would be pleased to establish diagnostic criteria against which we could judge MW.

Am putting forward Jeremy Kyle as the cunt against which all others should be judged.

Unrulysun · 04/11/2010 12:46

Thread pulling left right and centre. Hardly surprising though. I bet the op of that thread was a bit bemused when it turned up on daytime tv. I would certainly be somewhat Shock if my idle musings on the unreasonableness of the MIL turned up on Loose Women. :)

Which thread was it that cuntface Matthew was discussing?

LadyBlaBlah · 04/11/2010 14:27

ROFL @ hobbgoblin

LadyBlaBlah · 04/11/2010 14:32

The dictionary definition of cunt is:

Used as a disparaging term for a person one dislikes or finds extremely disagreeable.

Having seen the definition of cunt I'm starting to think that cunt is too nice a description for him.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 04/11/2010 15:11

Surely people still have the right to have an opinion?

For example

It is my personal opinion that Matthew Wright appears to be a pious, prick faced tit toothed fart arsed wanker. Furthermore, I feel that it is likely that he may have not one single redeeming feature. I am of the personal view that he is a pathetic piece of shit and I speculate that he spends his spare time sniffing the saddles of exercise bikes in public gyms. I would not be surprised to learn that he defiles goats. Re use of the word 'cunt'. I think his mother had 2 and he's one of them.

TheEvilDead2 · 04/11/2010 15:24

I am sure hecate I have heard from reliable sources that MW does indeed do horrible things to goats.

awaits nasty liable suit

and i'll upgrade it to a for the last line.

I fink he mite ave a point you noo

MatthewWrightIsAnArse · 04/11/2010 16:22

It is my personal opinion that Matthew wright is a lazy-arsed mysongynnist cunt who is threatened by the thought of women having valid opinions.
Also my opinion that he is a coward, in that he would never dare do a webchat with us for fear of shitting himself when actually having to converse with us.
I hold to a third opinion, that MW is seriosly affected by ridiculosly-tiny-cock syndrome, hence all the vitriol and hatred towards the posters on this site.

nameymcnamechange · 04/11/2010 16:27

Dear God, this is so embarrassing.

Can't we take a little bit of criticism? Does it really matter what Matthew Wright thinks of Mumsnet? If you think so little of him why should his opinion of Mumsnet bother you all so much? Can't believe anyone has seriously had to ask why the thread calling him a cunt in the thread title has had to be deleted. Grow up fgs.

Personally I think MW has a soft spot for Mumsnet. He certainly gets tons of his programme material from these pages! He likes to prod the nest of vipers and get a reaction.

I don't think threads like this make a good case for Mumsnet being full of intelligent and articulate people at all.

redflag · 04/11/2010 16:30

I think the things he says are in jest, he is almost flirting with us when he says them, teasing us like a horrid boy would do in the playground!

Lets face it, he wants are arses thats why he is so cocky about us Grin

working9while5 · 04/11/2010 16:36

I agree with nameymcnamechange, I have to say.

He'd be really tickled by this thread, I'd bet.

LadyBlaBlah · 04/11/2010 17:12

You presume he has a sense of humour nameymcnamechange. I sense he does have a sense of humour however this is mediated by the protection of his large ego, and hence any 'jokes' about 'personality' or 'cuntness' are deemed to be lacking in humour.

nameymcnamechange · 04/11/2010 17:22

I think he is quite tongue in cheek about himself actually.

BootyMum · 04/11/2010 17:28

I was really pissed when I saw this segment this morning. I thought he was saying MN is for illiterate women with "too much time on their hands". And it seemed he was being quite aggressive and provocative as he personally didn't agree with the sentiments being posted about the particular story... although I felt he missed the point entirely but that's just my opinion. Anyway, has really turned me off this show. And Anne Diamond is mad!

working9while5 · 04/11/2010 17:36

I often think that the hours I while away on MN say a lot about me having too much time on my hands.
