to get this site shut down for bullying???

[DidISayThatOutLoud]

Absolutely disgusted at the way I have been treated, will be making this as public as I can... came here with a real problem, have been accused of being a liar and basically being bullied... cannot believe this site is still here!

DISTO Again I could go a Richard Hammond but Shrek is an ogre sick puppy op

Hahaha, it's more manageable than going all political in my opinion :D

I joined mumsnet last August. i was feeling very low and depressed about stuff going on in my life and i have found the people on here friendly and supportive. And they have helped and continue to help me through a tough time.

right you lot. BED !!!

DISTOL - just got up to speed - and you're quite entitled to a HUGE moan, ignore the beastly, mean-spirited witches flying around the turrets, I'll shoot them with my water pistol to scare them away. Moan away, baby.
Night all.

carer... that's fab for you, really and I seem to have had a LOT of support, there's just always a few that spoil it... I hope they keep looking after you honey xx Goodnight for now folks xxx

Hahaha thanks XenaWP, night night xxx

Welcome, DISTOL! No, really!

I have been roasted, toasted, dragged bleeding from thread to thread, vilified and victimised, then flamed some more. I've been here six years. Not because I enjoy whimpering like a terrified child over my keyboard, but because Mumsnet's teeming with wise, witty and compassionate women - and men - as well as some bullies, trolls and fuckwits.

If it ever gets really bad, namechange and come back. But you're doing okay, really! Look, some of your nasty replies were deleted before you reported them, yes? That means someone else reported them first. See? Folks were looking out for you, even then :)

x-post. Night!

Sorry to hear you had a hard time OP but sadly that's general Internet twattage. For every three lovely people there's one tosser. No message board I've ever been on (and I've been posting on one board or another for over 10 years, although relatively new to MN) has been immune.

From a very early stage I decided not to bare my soul online about anything that is actually hugely important to me or to rely on the words of strangers, no matter how kind the majority are, to validate me or try to make me feel better because I saw the effect on other board members of over-investing and the hurt they experienced when a troll or WUM took over their thread(s). I tend to stay away from MBs when feeling fragile - that's my choice and I appreciate others get a great deal of benefit from posting while they are down or stressed or may not have RL outlets.

Hope things are on a more even keel for you now OP and that your burdens are feeling less overwhelming.

Oh what like, this site???

You've no hope in hell of getting a massive site like mumsnet shut down because one person was rude to you on it Well, you probably could if you were the queen or something

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Glad you've calmed down now.

Every place has its share of twats. Every place has its share of meanie pants

You can't let it bother you.

Most people on here are nice. They might not be fluffy and hunnish, but they're supportive.

I hope you are feeling a bit better this morning xx

Theres loads of idiots on MN atm

If you are having a hard time and are vulnerable in RL, then someone being cuntish to you on MN will affect you much more than it should.

OP, you encountered a couple of shitheads in AIBU. You will encounter a whole lot more if you stick around so better get used to it or just not post. Sorry :)

Err ONE shithead if you don't mind. Who was called out on it.

I think the shithead should start a thread about not being allowed to be a shithead.

I like your name.

oh, i love a happy ending!

I reported that weirdo post as soon as I saw it, sorry I didn't say anything on the thread but it was quite clear they were troll hunting which is not on. Sorry you experienced that but it really isn't typical of mumsnet.

Fanks Sarah :o

Yes I am...I am the queen :D (ok maybe only of my house... but surely that's still a good status to have)

Thanks Erik... will be happy to put that behind me now, back to being my kick ass self... even the iron lady herself would be impressed with my cold armour right now hahahaha...

I think most posters lurk on this site for quite some time, to see how it all works. I did for 4 months, and so have many others. I found out what the shortened words mean, I found out how it flowed etc, I also watched as to who regularly says the hurtful stuff And finally, I did not post until I was sure I could take any yuk comments that might come.
I would also repeat some posters who suggested you could change your name, and start again if you wanted to.
I would say that your name does suggest a lot of things and may not be helpful to you. Your choice
Also, you say you bounce back. I try not to have to do that. I always think , if you dont get that hassle in the first place, your health stays better.

I do understand that it is easy to feel like this sometimes and all too tempting to post a flouncy thread but it is pointless. SOME of the unpleasantness I have encountered is down to the way I have come across and I have learned not to get into confrontation with people over one little pont unless I feel so strongly about it that the vein in my forehead throbs. There are also a few "experts" (Wiki/Google addicts) on MN who absolutely murder anyone who doesn't follow their instructions. There are a couple of vile monstrous bullies who are only to happy to accuse anyone who doesn't agree with them as a trolling uneducated idiot.

BUT 99.999% ARE ABSOLUTELY FAB, SMART LOVELY CARING DECENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROPPED ME UP THROUGH SOME HARD TIMES, TAUGHT ME MANY LESSONS AND SOMETIMES PUT ME IN MY PLACE. THAT IS WORTH IT FOR ME!

I am laughing here. I've remembered now where I recognised the poster who was off with you. It was from s thread they started about being nice to newbies. Oh the irony

Unfortunately your thread was taken over last night by idiots not great MNers.
