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?

Yes, its true, some of us the people on Mumsnet do have too much time on our their hands. And can be a little prickly about it .

What does it say?

He is joking. He is being provocative. He is not an unintelligent man. His sense of humour may be questionable but he is not daft. Afaik he and his fiancee (now wife?) are undergoing IVF treatment.

I don't know why I am defending him so vehemently, tbh. I guess I just feel rather discombobulated by this slightly shabby thread. Mumsnetters can usually do better.

"discombobulated"

and he called you us illiterate...

That's quite patently obvious Stewie re. the homogenous group thing.

i think i'd volunteer for IVF than have to sleep with that ugly fucker too.

Nothing to add. Still laughing too much at EvilDead's link.

Aside from adding that MW is indeed a cunt, of course

namey - you are either MW or his wife

Or his lackey.

I woz just avin a laugh (at MW's expense)

Yes I do have too much time on my hands. So does MW's researcher if this is the best he/she can do.

can we call him a twat then? That other bloke didn't seem to mind.

he has a point, some people must waste hours of their lives on here.

You wot. I said yeh no woteva

Christ. I'd be sorely disappointed if I expected better than this from AIBU. Is there a thread about the theme of appearance and reality in Rennaissance drama somewhere?

'Cos otherwise it's slagging Matthew off and wondering what the girls at school did to him to make him such a misogynist twunt.

What was the discussed thread about? If it was sensitive and upset the poster concerned then I am sorry about that - but this is an open access internet forum. Do people really need reminding again?

Mary - this thread is about him calling Mumsnetters names, according to the thread title and the op. I can't comment on the rest of it because I didn't see the show and I didn't see the "sensitive" thread. I don't think many others on this thread did either, tbh.

Stewie - should I restrict my postings only to threads where I agree with everyone? Am not ready for that kind of blandness in my life just yet thanks. But don't worry, I am not upset.

And people are very very oversensitive about the "too much time on your hands" thing. Probably because there's a grain of truth in there somewhere.

He probably read my posts, my english is crap

I'm more generally cross with him for always adopting a reactionary 'controversial' tone wrt anything about women's sexuality or exploitation.

This may not be the best way to tackle this but fuck it - every little helps.
