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.

"inbox full of PMs from other MNers saying they agree with me but don't fancy being bullied by the MN Police"

there's an MN police? Are they connected to the grammer police?

I love those posters (and they are in a proper minority) who can really argue the toss with you on one thread and then you find yourselves both agreeing on another and having a laugh about it. Everyone seems to hold a grudge these days.

Hate naming names but DaftPunk and I used to fight like parrots on E and nobody really told me to fuck off quite like she did, but no grudges were held and actually I came to quite like her (even if she was completely raving)

Pagwatch · 08/09/2011 17:02

I have never seen the police. I want to be a policeman. I would be firm but fair.

I don't tend to post my views privately. I say it on the thread. A few exceptions but that's it.
If someone is getting a kicking I do try really hard to say what I think on there.

I hope I am not gratuitously rude. I am bloody rude to people around sn/disability issues but that's it I think.

Maryz - you have a much better memory than I. I never remember who I've had a ruck with.
Mind you, I was right though wasn't I? Grin

Loving those spellings! Grin

AbsDuWolef · 08/09/2011 17:06

Oh LeQ - you don't know about the famous "grammer police" thread (it was in chat, so long gone)

Some nethunners were over here for a squabble, and true to form, MNers were correcting their txtspk, so one of them piped up with "who are you, the GRAMMER POLICE"

SpringHeeledJack · 08/09/2011 17:06

Pag, ruuuude?

not ever

I have just had a look down active convos and seen two quiche bashing thread, and only one quiche thread

twas the Flyladies

curse those rotten flyladies and their clean sinks

oh, and when I glanced down this morning I noticed the Pram Huns also

are these the quiches of which you speak, OP?

VelvetSnow · 08/09/2011 17:07

arrests Rhubarb for possessing E
arrests LeQueen for brandishing a deadly weapon and asking people to cut her
pretty much everyone else has been arrested for ear-buggery

Now I'm clocking off, when I come back here I expect loads of PM's with your evidence of crimes on MN.
I will then do my own investigation and issue the punishment

SuePurblybilt · 08/09/2011 17:15

Oh shit, sorry Hully. I luffs you almost too much to mention. Tis the love that dare not speak its name.

SpringHeeledJack · 08/09/2011 17:17

you can safely presume

TheRhubarb · 08/09/2011 17:18
