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

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 have B&Q value Magnolia in my sitting room, honest I do. I don't know if something happened to it in the pot (it was one of them vast tubs, a couple of years old and I thought I'd use it as an undercoat). It went on dark beige and has dried a lovely matt cream - almost chalky. No pink and a lovely depth of colour.
I can't imagine what happened in those years in the shed to turn it into a nice colour, but I've not painted over it.

I'm Quite Well. Thank you for asking.

It only counts if a medical professional has checked you over, tutted, shaken their head slowly and written a proper prescription

Dagnammit. I wasn't even ill when I bought them you know - just did some excellent mimes for my most common ailments and hey presto, that'll be 100 Dollars please.

Are we all gathering here for a 1 o'clock assault, by the way? I suspect they are feeling a bit jittery waiting for us lot to arrive en masse (and feeling ill) on their q&a thread Grin

You've got Dried Mouse Blood on your walls

SuePurblybilt · 04/10/2012 12:46

Dead Mouse Blood looks very nice so I shan't mind.
But worryingly it tones exactly with the Laura Ashley wallpaper and curtains. So perhaps they're Mouse Murdering on a massive scale?
That's why they're always near a Pets at Home in the retail parks

I has real, proper clunch on the back walls of my house. It looks nothing like the F&B paint colour. probably because some arsehole painted over it with white masonry paint.

OrangeandGoldMrsDeVere · 04/10/2012 12:52

WHAT Q AND A THREAD?

Hullygully · 04/10/2012 12:53

it's a secret

SuePurblybilt · 04/10/2012 12:54

Outdoor clunch? So would you say your clunch has weathered well?
Or is your clunch looking the worse for wear?

OrangeandGoldMrsDeVere · 04/10/2012 12:54

Tell me you clunch

MaryZed · 04/10/2012 12:55

SuePurblybilt · 04/10/2012 13:09

OrangeandGoldMrsDeVere · 04/10/2012 13:10

Tsk Hmm

ClippedPhoenix · 04/10/2012 13:11

OP, just wanted to say I was on that thread you've mentioned where you were called a dyslexic cunt and really felt for you. I called the person on it. I haven't seen the name of that particular poster around so they've probably morfed into someone else now.

Yes there are arseholes on here, like everywhere.

Been on here a couple of years now and have probably changed name about 10 times due to silly gangs of arseholes. Grin

The benefits of this site totally outweigh the odd twunt though ay.
