Welcome HairyMclary Smile

YANBU

Everyone has an opinion which is what we want on here but I do wonder how many people on here would vent their opinion in real life to people the way they do on here with the same level of aggression and foul language.

tiredmum - you have obviously not been on much lately.

Hairy - your 3rd post? im sure we have had you here for ages.

QueenGigantaurofMnet · 28/11/2010 22:58

meeeee!

i actually swear far more in rl than i do on here.

and i use more tact here too. believe it or not

tethersjinglebellend · 28/11/2010 22:58

I bottle up all the steaming rage from my RL and vent it all on here. Or on a hapless stranger who steps on my foot or commits some other minor transgression.

Don't we all?

2shoesnightmarebeforechristmas · 28/11/2010 22:58

i am sure hairy has been here forever

ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys · 28/11/2010 22:59

OP, I wouldn't get your knickers in a twist over the swearing. We're all adults. As for the nastiness, can you provide an example? Most 'fuck off's are meant in a joshy-ironic kind of way

Tiredmumno1 · 28/11/2010 22:59

Queen i am here all the time Blush

maybe i just havent been reading the right threads Grin

tethersjinglebellend · 28/11/2010 22:59

Good old Hairy.

LoopyLoops · 28/11/2010 22:59

I wouldn't call you all cunts n real life.

I would select from:

Wanknobs
Fuckwits
Cockmunchers
Buggeroos.

ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys · 28/11/2010 23:00

See, I like buggeroos. It sounds pally.

MilkNoSugarPlease · 28/11/2010 23:01

thought loopy loo- said Bugaboo--

Was confused about buggy related offending :o

HairyMclary1979 · 28/11/2010 23:01

fuck off tethers :)

and queen and shoes, no i signed up tonight, hear about this from NM they call you all the darkside. LMFAO

tethersjinglebellend · 28/11/2010 23:02

Classic Hairy Smile

2shoesnightmarebeforechristmas · 28/11/2010 23:02

well there is another hairy then

BitOfFun · 28/11/2010 23:02

The MNers that I've met are very straight-talking. I think that we tend to attract riff raff that type of person.

So, who has pissed you off then?

EightiesChick · 28/11/2010 23:02

YANBU. Sometimes people are just gratuitously unpleasant. And sometimes people start deliberately inflammatory threads or make deliberately inflammatory comments (and not ones justifiable by post-moder irony either). Now, that's not to say the rest of the net is all sweetness and light. You'd get it on any forum. But it does exist, and people having a go at the OP for mentioning it are only strengthening her perfectly reasonable observation.
