AIBU?

I was just browsing a computer forum ( I sometimes take a cheeky dive into the post a picture of yourself thread, some of the guys on there have some lovely jumpers) and I noticed they had a mumsnet thread.
Do you think this thread has good criticism about us? HERE
Sorry I am using a throwaway account as I don't want that forum to know that I am a girl who just goes there to look at the pictures of them.

Im slightly interested in how many of your teenage DCs maybe sat in their room right now on the other site lol.
If it wasn't for us 'bat crazy women' then they wouldn't be here right now.

As for their initial bug bear of why the bbc take such a large interest in mumsnet and our opinions. The media take account of all pressure groups and its most certainly not the tongue in cheek AIBU threads they are interested in but the very worthwhile causes that mumsnet spear heads such as the Care for those affected by miscarriage etc.

it's kind of funny though out people's perceptions of mnetters

So within 24 hours another thread is started by someone linking to another site that's talking about MN? Hmm

Put your spoon away and leave them to their porn computer stuff.

Admit I did like the comment saying how no-one ever challenges OPs on hereGrin. They didn't look hard did they.

From my glances at it they are a load of misogynist prats. Some of my friends think I'm a bit of a computer geek (I'm not as I can't write programmes but couldn't be bothered to see if that crowd could either).
I agree the media fusses over mumsnet stupidly, but that's nothing to do with us.
The great thing about the internet is that if you don't like a website you can ignore it, I don't think my life is missing that one.
