AIBU to wonder if there are any supportive and kind MNers?

[verbalreasoning]

I had high hopes when I joined MN that I would find a community of helpful, supportive, kind and caring people ... Mums in other words!

So far I have found a few witty and brilliant characters but mostly every thread I've lurked/posted on has been populated by violently opinionated and judgemental people.

Am I on the wrong threads or is the anonimity of MN the root of the problem. Where are all the nice mumsy types hiding? Are they just lurking so they don't get flamed?

LOL Hab if you ever reform you character you could change your name to rehabbibu LOL

Well put Kazbar

Well, this is what I was wondering, Beer - is it all the satanist housekeeping stuff above that has us blacklisted, or secret lusts which mean there are people to be avoided to avoid temptation?

Ooh, I like that - may have to go any nab it now. I'm not sure I need reforming though - have I really given such a bad impression? I'm not really Satan's "woman who does".

oh FFS I meant demon worshippers them lot, them lot not me were going on about that and black candle wax earlier. I am not part of their clan.

Well do you thik you need reforming?

That's what you think.

Oh, blast.

Not really, usually I'm just quite nice. Did the satan thing really bother you? Did I mention I'd disproved him?

Oh, I'd never force you to eat quiche. that's just wrong.

OP OP, where is your support....

As a previous regular poster in flybabies thread I renounce you and any satanic housekeeping rituals or any demonlover references (the private room in anne summers is as far as I will go).

Proud to be founding member of the post-it clan (err just formed)

and err hail the fat fairy

I am certain I have pissed people off but would much rather have a grown up discussion about it than sarcastic comments. The PM box is useful for that.

oh Kaz - I think I was horrible to you on your thread, a bit. In my defense I am not having a very good time at the moment but still, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel unwelcome, it was more...I dunno, we seem to get spates of thread after thread saying MN is shit or full of bastards or something and I think you caught me on a bad day.

Sorry anyway, I'm lovely really, but usually only on PM, I wouldn't want to spoil my rep as a bullying bitch. [deadpan]

No need to apologise, It occured to me after I started the thread that I'd perhaps unwittingly rattled a few cages..

I hope things get better for you.

OP - take note of this fine example of someone being nice.

awwww

Or is this too far?

Its too late maryz Ive started mine with my colum headings and allocating ratings and dates etc.

I learnt the other week after having my first proper run in with someone and it got personal on both sides but it was one on one mostly (we both had other people backing us up at one point) and I vivwed I would not let that happen again, even though I believe were on an equal footing.

So Maryz you are right to avoind certain people, there is one who was just so cutting and I suspect would try and chalk it up to humour I would definately avoid - funny not the one as referred to above.

lol maryz

lovename's got pivot tables and all kindsa cross-refs going round.

you're all cunts

can't say that often enough

I think you're factually challenged there, hully. I have a spleen and eyebrows and a pancreas and everything. I can't speak for the rest, obviously.

habbibu you just outed yourself as a geeky type not bitchy at all eh Bet you didnt know I can embed links to threads in spreadsheets, anyhow I tend to prefer to use SPSS

Sorry hully Ive been struggling with you calling us c**ts when part of your name is a euphanism for foo foo's
