Why is everyone so mean on mumsnet?

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!

I think gooseberrybushes is a little unhinged upset Grin

BornInAfrica · 04/06/2011 22:56

Aren't we all anonymous? And what the fuck difference does it make to anything who I am, might be, used to be, was, long to be, whatever? I'd still think you were unhinged overtired and emotional about what amounts to not very much at all.

Go to bed.

why? because you claim to be all tough and upfront -- abusive and insulting with it - you claim to know me and were pretty vile about me - but you won't say who you were so you can just do it anonymously

pretty pathetic

BornInAfrica · 04/06/2011 22:59

I've seen your arse worra and a fine example of the genre it is too!

Grin

Gooseberrybushes go and have a cup of tea and calm down

this is getting silly now

entertaining,but silly

Gooseberrybushes · 04/06/2011 23:01

You can't accuse eve"ryone who disagrees with you of being a namechanging stalker/troublemaker." Really? You don't say.

I've never done it before. She claims to know me and is pretty unpleasant to me but won't say who she is.

It passes the time - I'm not that bothered about what people on this thread think of me tbh.

worraliberty · 04/06/2011 23:01

Well thank you very much Grin

Shakes booty liberally

Gooseberrybushes · 04/06/2011 23:02

yes it is a bit silly suspect - like I said - pathetic

PinotGrigiosKittens · 04/06/2011 23:02

Wild guess but is it LOTM and BAC - they always have a fake slag-off and hijack threads like this? Is it them and they're secretly laughing at us for gawping? Or are they really arguing? I'm tired and want an answer

Gooseberrybushes · 04/06/2011 23:03

worra isn't this the kind of person you hate? the kind that posts anonymous abuse and namechanges?

usualsuspect · 04/06/2011 23:04

We are all anonymous

BornInAfrica · 04/06/2011 23:04

I have PM'd Beer to tell her who I am (i.e nobody anyone knows and nobody who used to be anybody!) so rest assured Pinot - there is nothing more to this than me taking issue with an overtired child who wants to go to bed with her dummy instead of spitting it out all over MN!

bupcakesandcunting · 04/06/2011 23:05

Huh? I think I've posted about ten times this week and some of them were posts offering to drive food to a desperate MNer.

I expect that the stupid cunt has me confused with someone else Wink

Yeah worra - spit it out! I promise not to send poo again!

bupcakesandcunting · 04/06/2011 23:07

Oh it's not LOTM and I, BTP! Definitely not!

Gooseberrybushes · 04/06/2011 23:07

"I have pm'd beer to tell her who I am so rest assured.."

how up its arse is that

Buppy I think you're lovely in a non sycophantic sort of way Grin

Pinot more Cava?

Gooseberry I am really struggling to see why you are laying into Born, notably this 'laughing at drowning children' Where'd you pull that from.

Frankly I've not seen anything remotely pleasant from you on this thread and others for that matter over the weeks/months/whatever the fuck
