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.

oh but stranded - that's another 'in joke'

VelvetSnow · 08/09/2011 16:09

Grin SayCool.

Little VelvetWhip is brewing along nicey... Grin

drawing a line under the fact that I (virtually) got pregnant from having Whip shag my ear because it was a joke, I am aware ear shagging does not lead to babies and I like Walnut Whips that third comment is largely irrelevant

SpringHeeledJack · 08/09/2011 16:11

tsc stop moaning and get the fuck onto Twitter

you too, Hully. You can do both at once, y'know

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 16:13

SHJ!

Not seen you in eons of ages.

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 16:13

Twitter is lonely

SpringHeeledJack · 08/09/2011 16:13

...I only read the whole thread because I wanted to find out about the Onky Talk Paggy mentioned on page 1

I'm a bit disappointed, truth be told

SpringHeeledJack · 08/09/2011 16:14

Hully you just have to try

[earnest]

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 16:15

I did try.

It just didn't work for me, babes.

The oddest part is I get emails telling me I have new followers every day. Dunno what they're following. Sort of Trappist Twitter.

ScrambledSmegs · 08/09/2011 16:17

Anyone linked to yet? 'Cos I think you all need to be aware of the health risks.

HTH.

Aw Velvet I kinda picture our little VelvetWhip like a purple velvet walnut whip :o

SpringHeeledJack · 08/09/2011 16:21

actually you can't do them both

I just tried

I got a bit dizzy

SpringHeeledJack · 08/09/2011 16:24

...like many, I suspect, I started on Twitter to find out about London riots

now I'm mainly chatting absolute shite

Good point Maryz, however "longstanding and cowardly MNer" is the key IMO.

Although I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the OP for starting this thread, it's kept me amused today and perhaps made me a couple of new MN friends Grin

TheRhubarb · 08/09/2011 16:33

can I just say that I was in the front of the Human Centipede arse kissing and that TSC has already declared her love for me and as I gatecrashed am I one of the 'in crowd' or just that poster you merely put up with?

Pinot · 08/09/2011 16:35

Ooh ooh Maryz yes yes indeed.

TSC I will snog you and you will hate it, but I shall do it anyway as you made me feel a little sad with your bad day references and feeling like a little person

HamsterzBollox · 08/09/2011 16:38

Maryz I namechanged because I am often on a couple of other topics here (health related mostly) and my name is well known on here with some MNers through that. I would rather keep those (sad and sometimes quite harrowing support threads) separate from what I wanted to rant bring up on AIBU today - because it's a totally separate thing. I don't see what difference it makes that I namechanged - loads of people on here do that - and I'm not 'deliberately shit-stirring' anyway!

The fact that I have a inbox full of PMs from other MNers saying they agree with me but don't fancy being bullied by the MN Police for saying it on the thread backs that up, sadly.

Will leave you all to it now.

SuePurblybilt · 08/09/2011 16:42

So you're so upset and intimidated by the quiches and 'royalty' you've had to NC and everyone who agrees with you has to do so in secret?

Maybe they don't fancy saying it on the thread because they don't want to hear the obvious answer - if you don't like the quiche threads - hide them. We've hidden ours for you, we're nice like that. If you don't like jokes and people being friends, perhaps stay away from chat sites?

Or just start your own quiche, with all the people who agreed with you. Then I can hide that.
