to ask what's soooo wrong with netmums?

[sassy34264]

noticed a lot of derogatory remarks about them.
what have they done?

so did netmums colloborate with dm?
mnhq had shared column with dm
caused much consternation and threats of dereg

A Nethun is a My Little Pony being ridden by a Care Bear along a rainbow leaving glittery hoof prints and pony dung that sprouts flowers as soon as it's out.
A Mumsnetter is a drunken bird in an oily vest bursting into a garden centre's tea shop and calling them bastards and if anybody comes near they'll scream "Get back or I'll bite yer nipples off!"

sm when they (NMHQ) wish to start a "discussion of the day", they seem to 9 times out of 10 link it to the DM. I contested it one day,starting a thread saying "why do HQ keep linking to the drivvel?",and the next day they posted a topic linked to the Guardian...but the day after it was the DM again.

HQ a few months ago had a secret visit from Cameron,but I got wind and demanded to know why it was not a fair ballot on invited NMs' members,as they seemed to only invite his areselickers'.

at Tiggy.

mnhq dont need to do dm of day
mn posters do that anyhoo
and mnhq and dm had a joint column collaboration

Could it be a form of entertainment to use it? Ive never been bamned or deleted on here but im sure I could wangle it on there.

hang on mn folk complain when people come here solely on wind up
going to netmums for wind up is taking the piss
and puerile

Bit sad to go on another forum to take the piss.

i must admit i ventured on nethuns last night and was reminded why i am a MNer. Also what's with all the pics of their kids on there? wrong, wrongedy wrong.

oh isnt mn luffly
some of you are all the luffly huns you claim to despise
same as the mn mums as i see it

My main problem with it is that it is such a messy, colour-laden, busy page format, that I can't actually tell what are posts and what are the signatures.

I have tried to peruse a couple of threads and swiftly given up as I was unable to decipher a single coherent conversation from it.

With respect to the politics / attitudes of the different sites .. people will surely just go to whatever suits them.

As the feathery residents of 3rd and Bird have taught us "different is good, oh yeah!"

I remember a ticker for an upcoming wedding.
It said '5 years, 3 weeks and 2 days till I become Mrs XXXXX'

Now that was one sad arse ticker.

I dont like the ovulating ones or the cervical mucus ones either.

But I have MASSIVE tickers and got reported. I had to shrink them.
Bastard ticker police.

On NM people post things like 'All Albanians are thieves' As post titles.
It can be two pages before someone says 'wtf?'

Horrible, horrible threads.

I know there are some crap ones on MNs but you get a lot of people giving the other side.

On NMs it goes like this
Most people who have blue badges are just lazy
Yeah my SIL's aunt got one because she is fat
I know my neighbour is Muslim and they all ge them as soon as they come in the country
I am sick of handicapped people getting free cars and badges. Why cant I have one? I have a three year old lil man.
Hang on - you cant get a blue badge because you are overweight and you certainly dont get one for being Muslim.

OH OH OH. I see! I FORGOT that you are NOT ALLOWED to have an opinion on NMs! ALL I was saying is what I KNOW. Excuse me!
Dont take any notice hun (hugs)
I am sick of being bullied on NMs. Now I feel like killing myself.

THE END.

Netmums doesn't have 'Am I being unreasonable?' thread, which is enough to keep me here ;D

I have to admit that I like the tickers and emotes, but I do find the 'debate' style threads a bit tedious.

I have met a bunch of Mums on the meet-a-Mum boards and they have been lovely, and not flowery mumsy idiots hehe

I think Mumsnet attracts more intelligent people, but also people that scare the shit out of me when they don't agree with me in fact some people are really nasty

some of you have selective memories ive seen some ghastly threads on mn
such is internet life
all forums have heid cases and bad ass posters

I think DC is just as daft as LO or bubs, personally.

and people who type luffly are same as huns
absolutely no difference
incapable of coherent post

I might be wrong but I thought the DM column was done without MNHQ's permission?

I haven't found them friendly or helpful. And they don't swear.

scottishmummy I agree there are bad ass posters on both sites. But the culture of two are very different and they are dealt with in different ways afaik.

hmmm just been on it for a peek and I see a debate aobut Fruit Shoots and Greggs Sausage rolls.......and quite honestly the baby names thread on here is far more funny.
Not seeing all these "hun" posts - were are they?

Well I had a quick look but lost the will to live trying to navigate it but will go back for another look when I am feeling patient

I think the problem is summed up with 2 words.

"Hun" and

"hugs"

I did like netmums i had a laugh although there seemed to be a lot of I am not racist but posts which had me and a lot of ignorance and bullying goes on and you cant swear . I didnt mind the tickers or even the sprarkles just some were ignorant , but i prefer here I dont like hun anyway so never used it but was never offended when people said it, and i have a lot of netmums friends.

I think the problem is summed up with 2 words.
Luff and Luffly
