why is mumsnet so unfriendly and shit compared to netmums

[hellogals]

Ive changed my name as im peeved off. I asked for a genuine bit of advice about dd2 school, and i got abuse. Everyone is so unfriendly and jump down ur throat. Its very clicky in here and they all stick togethet. At least on netmums u get a fair hearing and gd advice, its crap here.

People come on here for an ego trip and im sick of it. Have a bit if respect and decency for peoples feelings!!! Grrrrr wish it was properly monitored

I thought Rough Reception was a hidden clue.

Glad I didn't bother advance searching.

I quite fancy some oink glitter though.

For the love of god OP, please stop typing "u" / "ud" / "uv" and just type the bloody words in full - text-speak will not do anything to enhance your bid for sympathy and understanding here

She said that wasn't the thread havant

I can't stand your text speak or whatever those bizarre abbreviations are so I can't be arsed to talk to you. Soz.

I want oink glitter. WHY IS OINK GLITTER NOT A THING? Come on Peppa Pig merchandisers, I can't believe you missed such a trick...

They just tend to operate by giving you the advice you need, not the advice you want though.

Seconded.

Oh dear, I am sorry you feel this way. To be honest, there are some unnecessarily bitchy comments on MN sometimes - but there are also some amazingly helpful posters and many a member has received some much needed help and support here.

Maybe it's just a case of NM being more your "cup of tea". You can have a swish ticker there too .

Feel abused to be honest. Because some people disagreed with you online? Really? You don't have a thick enough skin for pretty much the whole internet MN.

It's OK, you can choose to just stay at NM and get hunning. That's fine. What's not fine is coming here and telling us we should change this place into that place.

That her daughter was feeling pressure since she was predicted 13 As and a B for her GCSEs at her super special school that lets her take Latin, Greek and classics but doesn't suggest a modern language.

I wouldn't be as rude as you have been hellogals.

Most of us haven't got the faintest clue what you are talking about.

for Eleanor

?

Everyone?

Everyone on the entire site is unfriendly? Every single member of this huge site?

I think that is unfair. Yes, you're pissed off, but please don't say everyone is this that or the other when that is clearly untrue.

Excuse me english teachers. Ill spell how i bloody want. Y do u need to pick pick pick earth. Has everyone got to write like u???

Hmm

It's just how words are written

I think your posts and last comment probably (and I might well be being a little mean here) demonstrate why you've been "picked on" here.

1. People generally use standard English here without reverting to text speak. Personally, I find it irritating that someone asking for advice can't be bothered to type properly.

1. The aggressive-aggressive (rather than passive-aggressive) approach: why ask a group of people why they are being so unpleasant? Either withdraw, lick wounds and walk away, or tackle specific individuals rather than spamming an entire forum with an opinion that we are all unpleasant.

It is, as others have said, horses for courses here, and it does seem you'd be a lot happier over at the other website. Personally I like the robust and humorous nature of debate here and will take the occasional, probably deserved, flaming. If you don't like the heat...

I think your nickname doesn't suit your tone tbh. Lighten up.

NM is a bit shit if you're dyslexic. Just sayin'

(or at least it is for me, I shouldn't really speak for us as a group)

Ha ha ha.

Spelling is spelling. You don't get to choose it.

Havant, that was my hypothesis. But she claims not, and as this thread has progressed the styles have rather diverged.

Or, perhaps, hv rthr gone diffnt, hun.

So which one is your thread then OP?

Genuine question, because if you have been given an undeserved flaming then it's not what MN is about.

On the other hand, if the advice you were given is not what you wanted/expected or if you pissed people off by being needlessly confrontational then there's no harm in being told the truth.

Without being able to see the actual thread there's no way to know.

That was not my post. Actually my daughter was being bullied.

Why call them nethuns??
They dont speak bad of mumsnet

Bear with me while I find a 13 year old to translate your last post into English for me
