AIBU to think the foul language and vulgar tone of these threads is just too much

During the last few days the foul language, just a quick skim through the AIBU headings reveals such awful words, has been such that I don't think I will be coming back again too often. Mumsnet - Middle Class - Parenting orientated - really, is it really? Vulgar, nasty, ill mannered, spring more easily to mind. What a shame.

I do feel bad for the woman with the shit husband and children who won't go to bed. Which one was she on this thread?

WhipMeIndiana · 15/06/2011 22:36

Joni, if you aren't having fun................why are you still on MN?

usualsuspect · 15/06/2011 22:37

That might be me ...my ds is still up

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 15/06/2011 22:37

Not me. Haven't got a husband anymore.

Onion you need to spill on the morrow Wink

TheFlyingOnion · 15/06/2011 22:37

sock puppets? Fuckers!

At least I'm a sweary Mary under my own persona.

No split personalities here...

cunt!bollocks!fuck!

I'm not being rude, I've got tourettes....

AnyFucker · 15/06/2011 22:38

no, Joni, I think Vagabond is irrationally angry

I would worry for anyone who displays such unjustified anger and vitriol over a few ironic swear words

and who picks out an individual to spew such distress upon, when surrounded by lots of others who are behaving in the same clearly-offensive-to-British-Society way

ChaoticAngelofLitha · 15/06/2011 22:38

StayFrosty I went into my emails after reading this thread and it was the first email I saw. Made me Grin

AnyFucker is not a bully. A straight talker, yes, bully, no.

WhipMeIndiana · 15/06/2011 22:38

Onion, you're a fucking belter. Grin

Northernlurker · 15/06/2011 22:38

Apologies Clemette Mistaken identity - I thought this was you. Hell of a pipe there!

LadyOfTheCuntryManor · 15/06/2011 22:38

I got told off for revealing TOO much about my real life self.

Had to delete my profile and everything.

Now I'm just an internet persona who says cunt.

TheFlyingOnion · 15/06/2011 22:38

will do rockstock, will do Grin

Its waaaay past my bedtime.... and I've got to teach 16 yr 2s tomorrow Sad

LadyOfTheCuntryManor · 15/06/2011 22:39

AnyFucker I think the expression was underbelly of British society... or some shit

ThatVikRinA22 · 15/06/2011 22:39

has deja vu ...have i not seen threads like this before?

clemetteattlee · 15/06/2011 22:39

I don't swear, but I don't think it is my right to criticise those who are obviously having fun doing so. That is probably the difference between being relaxed and being joyless.

There is plenty of offensive judgementalism on this thread, but it doesn't seem to be coming from those having fun.

SuePurblybilt · 15/06/2011 22:39

I have never seen AF bully. I have seen her give good advice, careful, considered advice, in the relationships topic to vulnerable posters and have a lovely big sweary laugh on lighthearted threads.

I've not been involved in this particular swearing thread and to be honest I was divided - I don't much like name calling either. But picking out posters like AF (or anyone) to attack makes you as bad as the people you're accusing, Vagabond.

TheFlyingOnion · 15/06/2011 22:40

AND try not to say fuck not even one time Sad

Vagabond · 15/06/2011 22:45

The OP is not a friend of anyone on here so therefore does not enjoy the 'cunty-sorority' you all seem to enjoy. Is there a club?

Omigawd · 15/06/2011 22:46

@FlyingOnion re hot guy - your 2 sentences are the wrong way round :o

clemetteattlee · 15/06/2011 22:46

Northern, I like to channel Mr Attlee at all times. It reminds me of a time when Britain was great (slum housing, no free healthcare, no universal secondary education) until the dastardly socialists started undermining British society. They are probably to blame for all this swearing as well.

ClarasMummy · 15/06/2011 22:46

Broken Britain.

Grin
LadyOfTheCuntryManor · 15/06/2011 22:46

Yes there is. You can't join it.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 15/06/2011 22:46
