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!

No! Orchids.

The OP's username.

Sorry. I did comment on the thread before but her username has been bugging me.

Well now I feel like a crazy women shouting random things in the street.

I just thought you were on the wrong thread by mistake. Which is always fun for bystanders.

Well it made sense to me, anyway, you bunch of meanies...

Maybe "eggcup, once a fortnight" could be the standard battlecry for the not-arsed?

What did I miss?
