The pregnancy threads are full of hunning.

But I think you can post how you like on a chat forum.

You don't have to be all sweary to post on here.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a (hug) on here either.

hugs and kisses are lovely - especially on conception, pg or bereavement threads

snogs - meh, could work either way

fuck off or shut up - I can take that too

but under no circumstances try to:
a, touch my boobs
b, try to offer your boobs for my baby to suckle on
I will not be amused

I don't go into the pregnancy or conception sections so escaping the hun-ing there at least.

And I knooooow that we can all post how we want. I'm just crying soft tears that the soft hell I escaped on other forums is softly coming over here with its soft hugs. And you don't need "hun" to be friendly. It isn't like the options are bitchy without hun or friendly with hun. Plenty of people on here and friendly and don't use hun. Why oh why can't it just stay that way?

(soft gentle sweet hugs)

It's not something I do, but people say hun and other variants to be friendly and supportive. Why not just take the sentiment as intended? Much less stressful that way!

People who call others "Hun" like the smell of their own farts. FACT!

It's not my choice but I wuldn't comment on it.

I did get taken aback by a swathe of twattery on a thread the other day with all sorts of 'I always believe that swearing shows a lack of imagination' stuff being posted instead of, you know, an actual point.
It was like a convention of the tightass prigs assoc.

Im dreading the day someone refers to my son as 'lil man', makes me want to vomit in my mouth as much as Hun, babes, chick etc etc.

What is a ticker????

I do think there has been an invasion of tightass prigs though.

JRmumma that is a ticker. Except in some other sites, it dances, moves and has colour.

Excellent work MamaChubbyLegs
