AIBU to think MN not what I thought it would be

[sidandlinus]

After years of hearing about how influential and "middle class" MN is. I am I being unreasonable to think that I have found it (over past few months - so can't judge beyond this) a bit "meh2! A lot of the postings appear to be attention-seeking, middle-of-the-road and basically dull. Am I missing something?

Like your post you mean.....

You're obviously not 'in'!

Hth

Meh

Most of the newbis are dull, attention seekers, IMO.

Are we really middle class and influential? Gosh!

Have a

What were you hoping for sid?

I am I being unreasonable to think

Oh good: you've already decided. That'll save a bit of time.

It's influential as great ideas/opinions can be shared across a varied and large demographic of women who can mostly think for themselves.

As for 'middle class'. Meh. Nobody even knows what middle class is this days anyway so it's a rubbish label.

What do you mean?

I am the Prime Minister

Yes.

But I am influential
Aren't I sparkling and knickers?

You said gosh. That's middle class innit?

You werent on fridays thread, that was a lark. Bonkey on a stick! Seriously though OP you get a broad spectrum here, if you aren't reading stuff you find "interesting" perhaps pop to a library? MN is for support as well as shared interest and your post is kinda offensive!

Yes.

Have you tried anything apart from AIBU?

Ah, you should have been here a few years back, OP. Fecking geniuses we were, back then. It was Greek classics at lunchtime, maths theory by tea, and world affairs before bed.

Then all these new bints starting joining in. Ruined the gaff.

If you aren't gripped by the myriad of awkward situations strangers find themselves in, then it's not for you, no. I for one live a vicarious life, and thus it is a superb stomping ground.

Devora... off to the moldies thread with you!

poobys are meh?

No I don't think you are middle class and influential. What I meant to say, is this is how mumsnet was portrayed in the media - but reading peopel's stories/concerns/worries - the reality is different. This post was not intended to upset anyone, but I guess some of you are the same folks who slag off "school cliques" but bully in the cyber world when someone is asking a reasonable question?

I've barely looked at the other sections!

Gets bingo dabber

Got it in one.

Shock Horror! Something isn't like what the media says it is!!!!
