Mumsnet is a good site..but

[GabbyLoggon]

when MN gets mentioned in the national press(and it does) it is always the rudeness and vulagarity of some posters which is highlighted.

Mumsnet deserves better than the footie crowd pining for the next match

anyone?

link?

Yes. It is.

When is the last time something nice, good, cheery, heartwarming was reported?

People Being Nice And Supportive is not a juicy story. Blame journalists. Or blame the public for wanting only the bad things, the things they can be outraged about, the shock-horror-gasp things. Or sleb shit. Oh, or mindless moron can kick a bit of leather round a field This Man Is God.

Site For Parents Regularly Rallies Round And Helps And Supports Members And They Have A Great Sense Of Humour.

forget it! Never going to happen.

So. People read mumsnet is full of sweary bitches. And?

They come on and read? Well, within 5 minutes you get a true picture.

They don't come on? So what?

Anyway - who cares?

You sound as if you are straight from the pub and incapable of doing debate.

Mumsnet deserves better than that.

Mumsnet deserves better than that???

For some reason I find that sentence hilarious.

that has got to be possibly the worst attempt at a personal attack I have ever seen on MN

Hello again Gabby, what bollocks have you got for us today?

I disagree. I like Hecate's writing style. It's vigorous, natural and vivid.

I take offence at that. I think I argued my pov quite well, covering what makes news, what people are and are not interested in, what media coverage is likely to do and ending with a dose of reality - mumsnet isn't really that important globally!

Straight from the pub and incabable of debate?? I think you mean hecate disagreed with your pov?

Gabby, check your other two threads on this exact subject.

I am not alone in my love for your posts

I haven't ever actually seen anything about our 'rudeness and vulgarity' in the press, despite having seen mn mentioned many times...

Having said that, I don't read the mail.

mumsnet deserves better

"Incapable of doing debate"?

MN deserves better than that.

Was Gabby's second post actually in response to Hecate though? I thought it was just continuing the depiction of everyone here are ranting vulgar harpies... Which I rather like tbh :)

are as

Mumsnet really deserves better than my typing skills.

I'm liking "vulagarity"..

could be a name of a sultry filmstar

Ms. Vula Garity stars in....

I came to mumsnet when I read about how Mners stopped someone from committing suicide and was really intrigued. I stayed because of the sweary gobshites :o

You should have a look at some of my threads.
I have received nothing but the most amazing support and genuine concern. People have been wonderful.

Apart from my 'Monkeyfucker' thread. I got a few s on that one.

You're not alone tethersend, I love Gabz too

The threads are just such an insightful commentary on life, the universe and everthing.

Is it time to start swearing yet?

I'm fairly new here, and joined as a result of reading about the site time and time again in various publications.
I have to say, not once did I read about rudeness and vulgarity.

Sweary gobshites
What DOES Mumsnet deserve then?

@ MoralDefective:

Pom bears.

Its probably because I don't read shit newspapers, but how often is mumsnet actually mentioned in the press? Surely even the most inane of news organs don't bother to report on the comings and goings of aibu... Do they..?
