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 too am lost

Tough, I mean this with utter sincerity:

Please write your point clearly so I can know if I disagree or not

I'm sick.

That was meant to be I try to be polite.
With the 'I' it just sounds bossy

Yes, Pag and LeQ too. I'm just plinking up the day bed. Do you think they'll mind sharing?

Tufty - I am bringing viscount biscuits and a ham as my contribution. OK?

What?

What is boring?

Why are people here to be bored? There are zillions of other threads

Who is being funny and waiting for a crew?

Who is pming what?

For a reg I am astoundingly out of th eloop

Sue, only bring mint ones. Not orange, they're wrong. Fenton, Katie, Smeg too. All welcome. I'm all inclusive. But we must talk paint.

WILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN

PLEASE

Where's the crew got to? They should be here by now surely.

You see Tough, you have now insinuated that people are talking behind other peoples backs, isn't that a tad hypocritical and er, bullying-ish?

Oh, it's the most ridiculous circular argument.

Why on earth do people send PMs like this? Why not have the courage of convictions to post on the actual thread? Doing it by PM is even more cliquey!

Bloody hell.
Do people send you pms being nasty about posters on threads Tough?

I would fucking hate anyone thinking that I wanted to get snide bitchy pms.

Do people do that shit? I can never quite believe it.

I'm more baffled than bored at the moment.

I can't explain because i've no idea what is going on. Is it to do with Kevin McLoud. Anything to do with him always gets a bit contentious.

I just want to understand

I think Hully made the point earlier, but I am still wondering why one person's utter boredom with another poster, trumps another's.
There are a few on MN I'm finding fairly tedious, as it happens. I've not yet found the time to keep telling them so. They have the right to be as unfunny and boring as they like, just as I do.

People are sending snide pms to agree with Tough?

Great, I don't care.

Could someone just tell me WHAT IT IS THEY ARE AGREEING WITH?

No you don't, Hully.

See what I did there? I talked to Hully and she doesn't know me!

Better call the POlice.

I do scrambled I do
