I havent been on Nuthuns for ages but have recently gone back for a look because I am avoiding studying.
I feel I am a bit of an expert on this subject because I was a prolific poster for years before the Great Banning Incident of 2011.
The level of debate on NMs is basic. There are some intelligent, deep thinking women on there but if they stick their head above the parapet they are beaten into submission with a stick made of pure, distilled passive agression.
Going on NMs is like allowing the Sun into your living room (I mean the print version, not the solar one).
It is a mix of outraged sensibilities and smut.
If you object to people going out in their PJs you are a 'snob'. If you think people shouldnt hang their children out of the window by their ankles you think you are a 'perfect mommy'.
But if someone is unfortunate enough to die of an overdose they are 'discusting' (sic) and not worthy of pity because they are not a/Baby P or b/a soldier.
They seem to have a reputation for being nicer than MN but in reality it is far bitchier and far nastier on there than I have ever seen it on here.
You will be deleted for being 'unsupportive'. This can mean anything from saying 'get a grip' to questioning whether someone should indeed be hanging their child out of a window by their ankles.
BUT it has an 'ignore poster' button. This is brilliant.
There are some great people there but tbh, having revisited it, I dont think I am going to bother.
