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

[onceamai]

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.

Boobs

No, some of these women are friends, and some friends tease each other or try to make each other laugh.
Do you never do such things (yes, I know you may choose to do it using different language, but you understand the premise right?)

vaga seriously - you speak to your dc's, family and friends the way your posting here tonight?

Do you get the same response - because although I'm not a heavy swearer and doesn't bother me as we're all adults -I find your patronising tone more offensive because it's like being a scorned child.

it's called banter

Me too Stripey

clement - do we think the OP may have missed out on the friends/calling names thing? She certainly doesn't seem to be doing her bit on the 'ironic rejoinders' front. Still I'm sure some of her friends that are on this thread cunting away will be also checking on her right?

crying with laughter at the notion that mumsnet represents the breakdown of society.

thank you vagabond

Well I get the premise though I question the use of the word 'friend' to describe a 'relationship' on an internet forum where you don't actually know anyone's real names. I guess it would seem that the consensus is that this kind of banter or way of talking is normal on here, Certainly not how I talk to my friends, or colleagues or whoever

rockstock me old fuckin fucker!!

How are you?

Well I swear all the time in RL

The rest of you must be "hiding" behind your "internet personas"

< looks around room for flying pint pots >

any of you watch the Inbetweeners? Vaga? Joni?

no? ok.

I think it's the inability of the joyless to spell my name correctly that is the basis of the collapse of society.

Onion just fine and dandy thanks, fucker! Excitedly packing for our trip back next week.

Anymore dog walking

StayFrosty I just saw that too!

AnyFucker a bully?

I'm Irish, I swear all the fucking time. I call everyone a cunt, its, like, punctuation or some fucking thing.

AnyFucker I am very worried for your health
No you're not, you're just being nasty

mmm lots more (good) news!!

Vagabond is obviously Professionally Offended.

I feel sorry for them - life must be so hard

I missed the goat thread. Someone link me.

at the personal attack on AF. Who clearly gives a fuck.

sock puppets everywhere

Why is not swearing equated with being 'joyless'? I can think of lot of things that give me joy, calling each other names and bantering with my so called 'friends' on an internet forum is not one of them.
