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.

pumpernickel can I just say thanks...your cheerful profanity is a tonic

reelingintheyears · 15/06/2011 23:41

Well they haven't got the to the latest cuntychops then.......HAHA

ohmyfucksy · 15/06/2011 23:42

Lol at all of this

I swear as much in real life as I do on here, if not more.

I'm reading Vagabonds posts, I'm seeing words, but all I'm hearing is 'waaah!'

AnyFucker · 15/06/2011 23:43

bugger, you are correct

how funny though, my deleted post was in the middle of some pretty 'orrid attacks upon my person

where mine probably just had a naughty word in it Smile

allegrageller · 15/06/2011 23:43

can someone give me an idea of how bad posts have to be to get deleted? Because I can't see how a row of 'cuntychops' can stand while the original word gets deleted. etc. And if you deleted all the 'cunts' there'd be nothing left on this thread at all.

AnyFucker · 15/06/2011 23:46

am off to bed now, good night to all the underbellies Smile

reelingintheyears · 15/06/2011 23:46

If you deleted all the cunts from MN there would be no MN left...

Well,MN would be unrecognisable.

OvO · 15/06/2011 23:46

It's meant to be that personal attacks are deleted and everything else allowed to stand.

So me posting cunt wank bollocks is fine but not if I called someone a cunty wanky bollock.

QueeferSutherland · 15/06/2011 23:47

Aw, I love you guys.

I swear like a fishwife, on here, and in real life. I'm not proud, nor ashamed of it. It's just my vocabulary.

I have to say though, reading through this thread has made me feel a bit uncomfortable. There's an element of some people trying too hard and it comes across as a bit 'school playground'.

OvO · 15/06/2011 23:49

But someone would have to report your post first. And no one would as it's clear you are joking.

I know I sound like I'm being inconsistent. Grin

AnyFucker · 15/06/2011 23:50

in that case, the attacks on my person should be deleted

if I could be arsed to report 'em

which I can't

allegrageller · 15/06/2011 23:51

oh I see OvO. Wonder what Joni said then...

reelingintheyears · 15/06/2011 23:51

Thought you'd gone to bed you Fucker.

Pandemoniaa · 15/06/2011 23:52

Well cunty wank bollocks to the lot of youse - obviously I'm not worthy of a deletion. It's so fucking unfair.

OvO · 15/06/2011 23:52

I thought it was?

I'm sure I was gone when I last looked.

reelingintheyears · 15/06/2011 23:54

MN = Broken Britain...

Brilliant.

Pumpernickel10 · 16/06/2011 00:04

Your welcome allegra
What gets me is c**t gets deleted but some guy on here gives a word by word account of his day wanking ( yes it true) isn't deleted as he's not offended anyone. Well it offended me you pervert.
Nighty night all, it's been tremendous fun :)
Not one word of Beesimo and her DD1

Pumpernickel10 · 16/06/2011 00:07

reeling I'm broken and it's so unreal. I'm White trash of trash. Even JK won't have me on his show :( I just watch it in hope one day I'll be worthy.

allegrageller · 16/06/2011 00:24

yeah I saw that post too Pumpernickel!! The guy was a right freak. AF reported it didn't she? how on earth could they leave that on- and yet 'cuntychops' brings Big Sister down from the heavens....

Omigawd · 16/06/2011 00:30

I think its if you make apparently direct attack on anyone - I was being equally rude about everybody and the MN censorbots clearly didn't see the irony :)

onceamai · 16/06/2011 01:28

Well goodness me - that kicked off a bit. 15 pages and 373 messages in a few hours. I think I may be right though - this isn't the place for me. Good luck everyone - happy days. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night!

I have to say that a thread which starts "goodness me, the language " and is immediately followed by "Message deleted by Mumsnet" is one of the funniest things I've read in ages. Good work, all.

LDNmummy · 16/06/2011 01:37

Agree with northernlurcker. YANBU OP, MN is full of people who can't say anything without doing it nastily. It's a good sight though, shame about the lack of manners people have when communicating with others.
