Why is everyone so mean on mumsnet?

[Orchidskeepdying]

New poster - been lurking for a few weeks. What I've noticed is that everyone is so mean. Parents/women/people come here for advice and they are torn to pieces or spelling critisied.

I feel that you all can be a little bit nicer to each other. People sometimes post to get a different opinion, but we can be nice about how we say things!

Anyway, thanks for listening - i bet someone will say something mean!

Not mine I've jsut got the [gins] in.

I try mean but usually it's a bit of a fail (ds1's terminology). I manage slightly peevish. Mean is quite cool sometimes.

And let's face it, there are some posts that desperately require a bit of a slap because they are so absurd.

Yours tethers - and mine's a large one.

Actually that funny because.............oh never mind!

Don't you just hate it when your smart arse kids tell you that 'FAIL' thing?? Just makes me want to feed them tapioca for a month!

oh it IS anonymous abuse that pulls your rope - too ashamed of your previous life I guess

she won't tell - it's her from the drowning children are funny dept I reckon - and it's just too embarrassing

and she does seem awfully keen on a "win"

Goosey. Seriously now. You're in stalker-style freaksville now. You're leaking wee and your hair's a mess. Go knit yourself a new recycled muesli bra or something and get over it ok? Just move on. This is sooooo not even interesting anymore!

Here. Have a LMAO to complete your night!

yes it's you, ugh

real piece of work, and a drippy old coward to boot

I don't know what you are banging on about but it seems to be keeping you happy so best you stick with it.

Do you think I am someone called lynehamrose? I am not.

But thanks for selflessly showing yourself up for the edification and titillation of your not-so-adoring audience.

Who? Me?! I am bloody lovely. :(

Bunfight part deux

Bunfight Pinot? Oh please! This, I'll have you know, is a good old fashioned kicking and it's not me getting a wedgie over it!

ok but you're still anonymous - so who were you then? why the anonymous abuse?

that's obviously why you can be so "fuck off" - you namechange after

what are you hiding?
