To think some mnetters r on here just to be nasty?

[Booandpops]

What's the point in asking something on here if all is given is abuse.sarcasm and swearing? Not on! an opinion yes nastiness, no!

The clue's in the name LQ ... :)

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre 
The falcon cannot hear the falconer; 
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; 
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, 
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere 
The ceremony of innocence is drowned; 
The best lack all conviction, while the worst 
Are full of passionate intensity. 

Surely some revelation is at hand; 
Surely the Second Coming is at hand. 
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out 
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi 
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; 
A shape with lion body and the head of a man, 
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, 
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it 
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. 
The darkness drops again but now I know 
That twenty centuries of stony sleep 
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, 
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, 
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Some are nasty but very honest which is refreshing as in RL friends tend not to be.

Dont get the poem above probably because I have drunk a whole bottle of champagne and concentrating hard on my typing.

I got flamed recently but am over it now.
But still get paranoid that some people hold grudges. But am still fairly new to mumsnet. I love it though as have had some great support with my issues.

queen you sound like me, my memory is awfull.

i hope so LeQueen but I am a paranoid person and have killed a few threads!! BTW I love yours.

since i got past 27 i've had the momory of a goldfish. it's awfull as my mum has a better memory than me.

Can I remind you???

I love lavender hearts!!!

Quattro, I am transported. :)

How about WhereDidIPutMyKeys?

Yabu - true nastiness on here is rare. It's mostly sarcasm and wit - if it's not to your taste then best go elsewhere, dearheart.

tsc nooo, don't namechange! I love your name. Actuuuuaaaally, //sly emoticon//, please do change it to roughbeast (hah!) or some such and I'll nick thesecondcoming - am already twirling in mirror like madwoman, trying it on for size.

And I can't believe I don't know the swimming baths story //settles into baggy old armchair with a disgusting sweet sherry and eagarly awaits fuck-awful cringefest//

I'm normally a simply brilliant speller but have realised I have NO idea how to spell eagerly/eagarly

I will add this though..

Despite some very frank people on MN I have to say I love love love the wittyness (is that a word?) and intelligent arguments from some.

It shows that women are intelligent,knowledgeable and really funny.

TSC you bitch. i am now coughing my lungs up from laughing so hard.

Everybody knows that, Gigi

TSC- please try PublicHair and see if it's been taken, even if you don't use it. Snag it just in case.

BOF...what? Am I too drunk to understand?

Tell me to butt out if you want.
