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.

Oooh ooh who's head girl? Is it hully? Did I get it right? Can I be a prefect?

Ty Hully to that but are you sure it beats:
Let us go then you and I
When thevening is spread out against the sky
...
Like a patient etherized upon a table...
There WIll be time to murder and create
... I have measured out my life in coffe spoons

It's just so fucking great. I could read it all night. It sort of makes me cry a little.

No I don't actually. Because the very old tired head girl/clique/royalty stuff is bloody dull and deserves mockery.

TuftyFinch · 04/10/2012 21:08

Did you LeQueen? Wow! Eliot and paint. There's not a lot that can beat that in my world. Can you do a dove tail joint?

SuePurblybilt · 04/10/2012 21:08

Turns out I have more.

I have not 'demanded' anything, in the same manner I haven't 'leaped'. I've barely broken into a jog since 1996. You are picking and choosing exactly what you fancy and making it into something it's not. And then accusing others of the same. That could be perhaps why nobody leaped to defend you when you were called a shit stirrer - I really couldn't say.

Hullygully · 04/10/2012 21:09

I have engaged to death.

It hasn't got me anywhere.

Apart from miserable as fuck.

I'm going to go and force my dc to lark with me.

Bollocks is it - I haven't accused you of anything you haven't done, have I?

Hullygully · 04/10/2012 21:12

Come sue, we shall have a little turn about the floor ere I depart.

Hullygully · 04/10/2012 21:12

Why do you hate everyone tough?

Isn't that a lonely place to be?

Wouldn't you rather be friends?

scottishmummy · 04/10/2012 21:13

brown-nosing and sycophantic you is luffly deserves derision on mn
as does sentimental ramblings about ole days
the mn oscars are cringeworthy sentiments like a badly written clintons card

SuePurblybilt · 04/10/2012 21:13

Stately as a galleon, they tumpty tumpty tummed.
Bosom to bosom, bumpity bumpity bump.
They don't make 'em like Joyce Grenfell any more, do they?
