to think that computer geeks got their opinions about mumsnet right?

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.

You're not helping yourselves boys.

Perhaps you should all get back to slapping the Clearasil on, wanking, whatever teenage boys do all day. You're all obviously sat on your fat arses all day rather than getting any work done.

What ScaredBear said [hgrin]

Hang on.

I went to bed thinking that we'd reached some sort of ceasefire.

Turns out it was Yalta all over again.

TheScaryJessie · 28/10/2011 10:31

Dude, that's boring.

Surely you can come up with funnier, more original insults than that?

rycooler · 28/10/2011 10:32

I'm so glad I'm not married to a man who would join a parenting site just to take the piss out of women - most men haven't even heard of MN, and of those that have I doubt many would give it this much attention.

Pastysmasher · 28/10/2011 10:32

Just thought I'd register and let you girls know that this was all a bit of inter-forum banter. Nothing too serious, At OCUK we're fans of warming pasty, Not insulting or criticizing it. MILFs only. ofcourse.

oohlaalaa · 28/10/2011 10:34

I found it hilarious. Thanks for the link.

molepom · 28/10/2011 10:34

Mmmmmm...pasty.

TethHearseEnd · 28/10/2011 10:36

I'm going to fetch bigger boys.

DownbytheRiverside · 28/10/2011 10:36

You mean like the pictures of lovely ladies you post with the
'Look how hot my wife/girlfriend is?'
So I can't be a loser if someone this attractive is with me? Even if I keep her confined to the kitchen and the bedroom when she's not out looking lovely for the lads?
Do you classify your women as MILTF or not? Give them ratings?

This is embarrassing. Of course people are going to have an opinion on MN, we are constantly quoted in the media. Really, does anything on this other forum bother you all that much?

DownbytheRiverside · 28/10/2011 10:39

GDN, is that your usual approach to initiating relationships?
Had much success with it?

molepom · 28/10/2011 10:40

Sod the hobnobs. Gimme the pasty.

mrsruffallo · 28/10/2011 10:40

Ah,geekdorknerd, now you've let your side down. Chill out.

geekdorknerd · 28/10/2011 10:42

Sorry ladies, have a lovely Friday.

TheScaryJessie · 28/10/2011 10:42

Better. You put some thought into it this time! It's still not an effective insult though.

8/10 for actual effort though.

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 28/10/2011 10:43

geekdorknerd - you're the one who's taken the time to register with a forum whose members you claim to hate, simply to take the piss out of them... And you say we have lonely little lives?

Please run back to your computer now.

molepom · 28/10/2011 10:46

Reading the threads, both sides have let themselves down. It was a bit of fun at first, and a laugh to read. Now it's just pathetic and immature.

Taila · 28/10/2011 10:47

The OCUK members are feeling bad for the two idiots who have taken things beyond fun.

Its kinda sweet really

TheScaryJessie · 28/10/2011 10:47

Anticonscience: most do. And those who don't, probably had prejudiced opinions about "computer geeks" before this.

cornycabana · 28/10/2011 10:48

geekdorknerd must really hate women
how sad
and a bit creepy

TheScaryJessie · 28/10/2011 10:50

Oh, I expect s/he doesn't. You're taking him/her too seriously.

Poster is a troll. S/he's trying to be as annoying as possible. Poor child is just not very good at it yet.

BoffinMum · 28/10/2011 10:52

Did someone say hobsnobs? Grin

I am prepared to take a break from soldering my RISC PC motherboard if you are offering. GrinGrin
