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.

What is the point?

TobyLeWolef · 08/09/2011 15:20

C'mon gals, TSC has a much right to sneer as others have to jest!

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 15:30

She has every right, but what is her reason?

MrGin · 08/09/2011 15:31

MadameDefarge · 08/09/2011 15:33

WTF is a wolof

TobyLeWolef · 08/09/2011 15:35

Chucking about (attempts at) personal insults is not my idea of fun, but whatever floats your boat...

MadameDefarge · 08/09/2011 15:36

ah,nothing beats the tossing of personal insults in my book, for example, Hully is an absolute slapper, n'est-ce pas?

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 15:36

a wolof is a wolef with a misplaced vowel

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 15:36

Gasp!

ConstanceNoring · 08/09/2011 15:36

TSC just likes to be different

and she did finish with a nice smiley face Smile , surely that completely negates the condescending?

Pagwatch · 08/09/2011 15:38

Narkypuffins duck condom joke was very funny.

ConstanceNoring · 08/09/2011 15:38

vowel is a an anagram of wolef with a misplaced consonant

MadameDefarge · 08/09/2011 15:38

well, that's what I thought constance....

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 15:38

Oh tres bien Constance

A duck walks into a bar and asks, "Got any grapes?"

The bartender, confused, tells the duck that no, his bar doesn't serve grapes. The duck thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns and says, "Got any grapes?"

Again, the bartender tells him that, no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, and, furthermore, will never serve grapes. The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: "Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!"

The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, "Got any nails?"

Confused, the bartender says no.

"Good!" says the duck. "Got any grapes?"

MadameDefarge · 08/09/2011 15:43

I do! snogs are very funny! and fondling.

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 15:44

blimey!

Never mind constance, we'll all love you instead.

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 08/09/2011 15:44

What's not to like about snogs? :o
