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.

I thought you said Oi was rude?

No consistency

I like Borrowed Light, but for which type and size of room?

I think I bought this one.

It's a bit pink, isn't it Ed? I don't know why it's with the yellows.

Or is it the name you like - I have to admit I thought it said "ringworm".

Not very pink IRL Mary...more like custard with a hint of, erm, cake?

I like the name too.

That made me laff LaQ

Are you gibbering?

I have a north facing lounge, would like to do cream and green? Any recommendations? Thoughts?

I can't find your one Ed

The radiator pic is more like it

I like Borrowed Light but ... big room? small? carpets or boards? blinds in room or curtain? oppulent or spartan furnishings. There are somany factors.

does look pink in all the rest, but the rad one is how it looks to me.

I see what you mean Ed but tbh again I don't really recognise the scenario.

I see piling in. I really do and I have posted to counter a swathe of people all joining in to say 'ffs op'.
But I don't ever call someone a cunt for what type of paint they use.
I tend to call people a cunt if they mock things like dyslexia.

There are loads of issues being mixed up here. Everyone who wants to enjoy the site should report stuff they object to and sneering at dyslexia would deinately be one I would report.

Tifty, that looks really good. Good reviews too. Will run it past ds as am not allowed any teccy kit without his input.

Cream and green is a bit tricky i think. Green and white? Green and grey. Carpets or boards.

I'mgetting into the wing of this. Can it be my new job?

I think being critical of people's spelling or grammar is the height of bad manners.

Thanks Tufty. I will look at that

I have no paint observations.

Yes lots of different issues. You're right, no one who does the silliness thing also does the really outright rude bastard thing.

That's totally different.

glad OP did report it (if/when it happened) and I hope that's the end of it and people are nicer to her from now on.

Now back to paint yes

Bit pinky for me too Ed, I like pink but it makes me feel a bit nauseous, like tifty and the yellow.

yy cream and green v tricky. Green is always difficult.

tifty wot happened to your job?

Fairy nuff. I only suggested it as it is the only colour I know of theirs

tufty Cream carpet (here when we moved in, don't want to replace till youngest is a couple of years older) sofa is brown (given to us and, again, really don't want to replace for a couple of years till youngest is a bit older) so want to paint the walls, change curtains and add some accessories to make it more homely. At the moment it feels very sparse.

I have a temperature, a sore throat, blocked sinuses, a chest infection and am hitting 9 out of 10 on the massive whiners scale.
The Doctor ordered me to lie own for three days.

It's hell.
