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.

Yes, LaQueen. That's what baffled me.

It was loads of posters piling in that I had never seen before, that I had no clue had obviously been following my posts and hating me but never saying so.

Now, I can understand that they might not have liked you [snurk], but how could they not like meeeeee It was most odd. But it cured me of minding what other people think, so was a great success all round

Oi Olivia, we have borrowed light in our bedroom which is north facing. It feels very fresh and light so works well in there.

Ringwood Ground-we have our kitchen doors painted in this, it is not pink at all. More a lovely deep cream. I think you really need to get a tester pot with F and B as the paints look so different depending on amount of light in yourroom, other furniture and floor colours etc.

The person who wanted to know a colour to go with an orangey brick fireplace, sorry have forgotten your name, am in a rush so am posting and running. We have an orangey brick inglenook in our sitting room, we tried too many loads of different colours and kept dismissing Rectory Red as we thought it would clash. In the end we tried it and it was perfect, so cosy and warm.

Gawd sorry BIWI!
I thought I was all better on Saturday. It was probably the vat of wine.

I wish you had caught it from LaQueen instead. She is just a bit poorly.

Are we comparing how ill we are?

I want to join in.

I have a kidney infection. And it bloody well hurts. And no one cares.

Am at work waiting for someone to at least ask me how I'm feeling.

But no one has said a word. Heartless bastards.

Oh Quick [impressed] - LaQ, you have a rival.

Well it was either you or my trainer. Except I haven't been kissing him which is a shame

But I am not very ill, just being threatened with it at the moment.

Oh Tantrums, poor you.

Thank you hully

I want a badge.

Please.

I am ill. I've got antibiotics and everything.

I'd like a badge.

Mine could say "wellest but laziest"

[sigh]

I too would like credit for defending LQ on THAT thread (oirish?). Whilst also taking the piss out of her for being a ponce. AND finding naice B&BS/pics of hovels for the lulz. See - I mocked her for her poncery and then defended her from the rabid loons (where DID they come from? apart from the usual hatefuls).

Which proves that lumping the piss-taking in with the bullying/name calling is Not True. So there

Poor you Tantrums

LaQueen will make you a badge. She is well enough.

I bloody well was ill.

I've been ill since Saturday thank you very much

fucksakes. this is what I get - snot?

Next time you're on yer own with the haterz

I can't remember if I was there or not but I bet I did if I was
