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 am glad the tone is being lowered again, but in the proper way now instead of eye itching prole chat (I am as prolesque as they come BTW).

DontGoCurly · 15/06/2011 20:17

I suspect I might be faints .....working class too!!! DogsBestFriend

How awful

BoojaBooja · 15/06/2011 20:18

I'm not keen on loads of swearing either, but I can't believe that you think this is not middle class!

Why on earth should MN be middle class anyway? I hope it isn't!

stripeywoollenhat · 15/06/2011 20:18

tidey - i think that you'll find that's 'it's bastarding well unacceptable', actually...

bunch of foul mouthed fucks.

Pandemoniaa · 15/06/2011 20:19

I'd fuck over to Gransnet. They don't having any cunting bad language over there.

beanlet · 15/06/2011 20:22

Can I just point out that anthropologically, it is only the upper working/ lower middle classes, insecure in their class standing, who get hot and bothered about swearing?

Everyone else swears like fucking proverbials. Nothing more middle/upper class than cunting swearing.

DontGoCurly · 15/06/2011 20:24

You're fuckin' right beanlet ...well fuck me sideways, you're bleedin' right!

beanlet · 15/06/2011 20:25

Should have said tho, who gives a flying one what class you are on here? As long as you don't use txt spk or call anyone hun.

VelvetSnow · 15/06/2011 20:26

don't blame you

different strokes and all that...

Mandy2003 · 15/06/2011 20:26

Bum.

FreudianSlipper · 15/06/2011 20:27

everything you dislike is what i love about mn

i love that you can use the word cunt, i love that debates actually go on not everyone having their say and then congratulating themselves on being so adult and respectful of others views when really all they want to do is chit chat not debate, those who sit on the fence are ignored, and that along with the support i have seen their is also lots of witty banter

other parenting sites may suit you better

Steady on there ,Mandy2003

beanlet · 15/06/2011 20:29

When I were a lass we had to put money in the swear box if we said

Idiot.

Or shut up.

Vicky2011 · 15/06/2011 20:30

I do agree there's a few too many C - words around at the moment but not sure what it's got to do with class!

Monty27 · 15/06/2011 20:30

Bottoms Grin and..... farts Grin

Zingylemontart · 15/06/2011 20:30

It's a lousy habit to swear....but it's a bastard when you can't help it.

runningonmt · 15/06/2011 20:31

Ouch .....

I LOVE YOU GUYS ...... ahem ....... I mean "what a jolly good wheeze"

The lunatics really have taken over the asylum. x x

OvO · 15/06/2011 20:32

I blame Hully.

Pumpernickel10 · 15/06/2011 20:32

Tries to fart out the word CUNT but shits myself instead :(

UrsulaBuffay · 15/06/2011 20:32

YANBU

I am saddened actually that a group of well educated, strong, middle class women-mostly mothers choose to lower themselves to the depths that they do, but then they are essentially a bunch of arsefucking cunts so what can you do

youarekidding · 15/06/2011 20:33

I think kunfu you should go with kunfucunting. That just made me snort pepsi over -> with the goats.

nicespam · 15/06/2011 20:33

i don't particularly like it either, its more like facebook now more than what it was.

still you can ignore some threads but they seem to be taking over a bit

some lovely posts on this thread Hmm

Pumpernickel10 · 15/06/2011 20:33

Hully and her goats!
