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!

Yes. Very yes.

worral: you're hypocritical - you think anonymous abuse is ok if your mates do it - she's hardly likely to think the person she's abusing is "decent" is she

God the more you type the more unhinged you sound Shock

Firstly, I have not said anonymous abuse is ok and secondly, you keep referring to Africa as my mate when I actually have no clue who she is??

Seriously chill out. All this stress over an internet forum can't be any good for you.

Perhaps, Worra, if I tell you to take a long low-flying fuck at yourself that will help put Goosegogs mind (what's left of it anyway) at rest?

What do you think?

Ormirian is that a organic pokey thing or are you using a rolled up copy of the daily mail??

All those that complain about being harshly treated, go over to netmums they will massage your ego and make you feel all nice fluffy and worthwhile

I think it is only on MN that someone can start a thread on the lines of 'AIBU to think adults should make their DCs share' and can get attacked in a quite abusive way!

It is most definitely not a copy of the Mail Shock

It's made of wood so it's organic I guess.

probably because the world is mean. I mean it really is horrible when you stop and actually think about it. you just have to look for rare moments of happiness and laughter and cherish them, and you have to do the same on mumsnet i'm afraid.

It is mean but then I have been away.

I am back. It will be much nicer now.

I can't believe that I went away and there was a thread criticising mn. What are the chances?

The normality of MN is one of the few things in life I can depend on. People swear, bitch and consume vast amounts of tea/wine while multi-tasking with having a life and keeping the universe together for themselves and their friends.

Plus, AIBU is better than telly of an evening :o

So, Brew anyone?

You are probably watering them too much, OP. Eggcup, once a fortnight. That's plenty.

The world is not mean! The world is bloody wonderful. Or it is until my head starts to notice I've stopped taking my ADs Hmm

That really ought to be the last word, Psammead, but I bet it won't be. Goosey must still be asleep under a rock.
