To think that the bullying culture on MN can be a bit much....

[tjah04]

Having been a member of MN since 2003 I have seen and read some disgusting comments from other members particuarly on this board.

I am starting to think that some of these people must be very sad and insecure.

Some of the names that are called are disgusting and I am sure that these people would never go up to someone in RL and call them that.

And do not get me started on the "I am better than you because I can spell" attitude which seems to be the final insult if all else fails.

Other comments include

"troll" "Oh not another thread" etc.

It is cyber bullying at the end of the day and as mothers shouldn't we all just grow up a bit? The MN team do a great job of deleting such posts but often the OP has seen it and the damage is already done.

Lamp room grey is lovely, but for a bigger room.

Oo what one have you got tifty?

I want one and I don't care what flavour.

I know Biwi.

And Hulls...I didn't mean threatened as in, this person is going to hurt/upset etc

but in the sense that the OP was potentially being hostile.

I would love to compare swatches, but I suspect it might be a bit far to travel. My sitting room is sort of Farrow's cream (which some might call yellow) and is like sitting in sunshine all day long.

I would also like to talk ipads. For 50 year olds, though [hopeful]

But Ed I can'treally agree that it is true.

Especially the bit about her omplaints being true. I simply do not believe that the OP was called a dyslexic cunt and loads of people smirked.

And I don't feel threatened.
If anything I fel irritated that the op is trying to create a false impression that language like 'dyslexic cunt' would be accepted. And that she posts whining about bullying but when offered a chance to expose bullying she goes all coy which makes this look like yet another 'isn't mn shit' thread.

Do you find you tend to use the same colours all the time?

Me and dh do loads of ouses as do a couple of other friends and we all stcik to our preferred colours despite great intentions.

Me and dh love Captivation (not f&b) a kind of invisible grey/lavender

I don't know Hilly. Let me find it on Amazonand i'lllink. I bought it for DC really but was so pleased witth it Ibought another. It's fine for the games, iplayer internet etc. It's not as whizzy as an ipad but way better than i thought.Hang on.

Right all round tifty's for paint/ipad and onon soup

Ah, you don't get the yellow from the tinterweb.

I stick to the same colours. Apart from the kids' bedrooms which, now they are teenagers, would give LaQueen (and most other people) heart failure.

I like warmth and snuggles and curling up in front of fires, and a bit of clutter and multi-coloured tat. I'm not great on twigs and pebbley-shit.

Lulworth blue very nice

Ooh IPad help!

Yes yes. For ds2

Tufty - I have an iPad so I know ds2 can navigate it. He has great logic skills and can use computers but I functions at around age 5 or so, little useful language but great visual skills iyswim

He will want to downloads films and use Internet mostly. I guess I assume iPad as we have iTunes sorted with some things on already .

Ooh

Come on then,come round.
Is there a way to find oldorders on Amazon? I don't know what one I bought. Although I think i'dlike the Kindle Fire now. I'lllookagain.

Well. I was coming to say
"Oi! FGS If there's something you don't like, for the sake of peace&love? please report it!" at you all.

But, as it seems we are now talking about paint colours, does anyone have any thoughts on F&B Borrowed Light at all?

Perhaps you're spot on, Paggy. I don't know. I think though that whether or not we believe the OP is genuine isn't the entire issue - I think we have to exercise caution on how we handle it when there is some doubt, but no clarity.

Of course we handle it in different ways but it can cause damage if we're too harsh and we're wrong.

That's all really. and yes, non genuine people can equally cause damage if we treat them in a genuine way.

But I prefer that than getting into game playing iyswim.

I'm with you tjah04. Regardless of whether you think these comments are bullying, they're certainly not doing what Mumsnet is all about, which is being a welcoming resource for parents. I love the hypocrisy of the MN note at the start of each thread about being civil too because that's the last thing that some members are. When did calling someone a 'cunt' start being civil? Oh, don't tell me...

Ffs Tufty . Admit it,you are just kindle shopping now. Focus!

I like Ringwold Ground.
