To hate the cliquey vomit-inducing threads on MN?

Because they put me right off the whole of MN Sad.

Maybe it's because I don't generally use MN for 'chatting'; more for getting advice and opinions on parenting issues, health issues, etc (have namechanged btw as am a longstanding and cowardly MNer). But I do click on 'most active' when I come on here to see what's going on, and the clique arse-kissing and 'in' jokes between some MNers make me cringe and really put me off the site. It's like the school playground mum cliques but worse - because at least there the people really do know each other.

And yes I know threads about a thread are against MN rules blah blah but I wanted to moan about and am happy to be slated for doing so - so there Grin

I just think some MNers should get over themselves and go off and start a new 'love-in' site somewhere else. The End.

Good point Northern. Wolefs are friendly buggers though :)

theHare - the site is open to all, and not everyone will like everything. That's OK.

SDTG too right you can! I will have to snog you though!

SDTGisAnEvilGenius · 08/09/2011 12:11

I am well behind the times. Blush

I have followed Empjusa's link and made my Virgin wolef thread post.

"Did someone really post a picture of a random woman wearing a fleece for everyone to take the piss out of? I think that's really nasty actually. My mum would probably wear something like that"

[suspects this is the reason for mutant's general grumpiness...]

My mum constantly wears things that she should be arrested for, let alone laughed at which I frequently do. Still love her to bits.

bitchtwat · 08/09/2011 12:11

I had a real life phone call and now the thread's moved on and no one has missed me in three whole pages. I hate all you quichey cunts. So nerrrrrrr.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 08/09/2011 12:11

I have been a bit confused about dinner references. But I am now informed. It wasn't me. I now want to know why people thought it was

I demand link to said thread. And I totally know who it was

TheSupremeMugwump · 08/09/2011 12:16

I might have a look, is there a secret handshake?

Seriuosly though, if you go out wearing any sort jumper with an animal on it you do deserve a little bit of mocking (unless you're abpout 5)

So beong earshagged or an earshagger makes us members of a quichwe then?

ShirleyKnotFrotGrot · 08/09/2011 12:17

Of course NL.

As I say, I'm not on any "cliquey" threads so have never seen that happen.

To be fair though, I don't think that's what the OP was getting at anyway (the "cliquey" threads) the mysteriously now absent OP appeared to be irritated that posters interracted with one another as if they like and know one another. Which we can all agree, is just vile. Grin

LeBOF · 08/09/2011 12:18

I think that rather than ask here, the OP might do better to try this.

TheSupremeMugwump · 08/09/2011 12:18

buggering bollocks must check spelling.

Are you talking about the seson and shake chicken thread? That was good.

Imagine if we also interacted via other social media sites as well as doing so here.

It would be carnage. CARNAGE, I TELL THEE.

But...I actually do know some MNers. In fact, one of them was at my house last week getting drunk and poking my candle.
