Think there are a lot of judgemental people posting on MN

I am fairly new to mumsnet and although i have seen some good advice given to people who have posted on here, i have to say i have been astounded by the judgemental and sometimes aggressive posts i've seen. Some people seem to 'give advice' very often on a number of subjects but they always seem to end up as sarcastic or nasty. This is obviously a personal opinion and i'm sure i will get flamed for it. On the whole there seems to be some great people here with just a few odd confrontational ones.

p.s MN is the first thing to have made me laugh until I peed a little bit since I was about 15.

It would seem there are an awful lot of people on MN with continence issues, maybe that should be investigated.

I love aibu - am generally kind and caring sort but love the variety, the little tiffs, the sheer rage that occasionally crops up, the wide range of opinions- I conap and cosleep so am often lying next to sleeping ds and this forum keeps me going ( otherwise would be staring at a wardrobe in a darkened room from 8pm each night going mad) but I think take from it what you will

oh and the swearing is very funny

flibbertywidget · 23/02/2012 14:02

Theodorakis - the incontinence issues you speak of, come from a large populace of MNers having pushed watermelons through their Tagine's and had the audacity NOT to take up pelvic floor restoration lessons after the watermelons were born.

I have soaked through my months supply of tenapads today and have taken to wearing my DS' bob the builder training pants.

I'm never judgemental towards inferior people. I just try to set a good example for them to learn by and hopefully follow.

AIBU is the judgey forum. You need to move to the other forums if you want less judging. :)

southeastastra · 23/02/2012 16:03

don't judge mn from aibu, it attracts loonies who probably don't even look at other areas of mn

OrmIrian · 23/02/2012 16:05

What? Shock

MN?

KatieScarlett2833 · 23/02/2012 16:12

Theo

Pelvic Floor were norty words when I pushed out my darlings. Hence my laughter incontinence........

OP , you are not in Kansas anymore.....

MrsDeeBee · 23/02/2012 16:16

If you want to be judgey you need special pants. BIG ones.

I don't have BIG pants, nor do I have PMT. Ever.

Most posters are lovely.

'ello MrsDeeeeeeeeBeeeeeee have you heard back about Wimbledon? I applied (again) but have heard chuff all. Any idea when I would hear if I'd got tickets to stalk Federer around the entire site ? Thanks chick

It all depends on what gender you are. If you're a man, you're a terrible human being and should be proud she's got a big enough sex life to want a second man. If you're a woman, how dare he not be staring lovingly at you every minute of every day. Leave him and steal the kids!

Bears also shit in woods, and the Pope, I believe is a Catholic

OriginalJamie · 23/02/2012 16:48

sorry, that was to the OP.

GhastlyBespoke · 23/02/2012 16:49

Pinot, you have applied? Are you any good? Will you win? Are you likely to be our 1st British winner in a squill ion years?

I'd watch if that were the case.

OriginalJamie · 23/02/2012 16:49

wow, that was snarky

Sorry

MrsDeeBee · 23/02/2012 16:50

Hi Pinot !

Not heard bugger all. Getting V. annoyed. Will zoom off to site and see if anything on there.

ExitPursuedByaBear · 23/02/2012 16:51
Pinot · 23/02/2012 16:53

Ghastle No I just want to go to have wild sex with Federer be a spectator.

MrsDB lurves that Nadal oik, but don't hold that against her. Other than that foible, she's a delight.
