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

It helps others to understand what you are trying to convey if you use standard English. Makes it easier for people who may have dyslexia if they can actually guess what the hell you want to say.

Fuck it, Shakespeare spelled how he wanted, you go for it. It is not the done thing here. Do you understand that different sites are different? We have different rules and styles and attitudes. Among sites and among posters.

Bye then.

Text speak simply doesn't give your opinions any credibility.
And you really are rude.

Ahhh so it's a Fred about a Fred, just with a name change.

Good Luck then with that OP, if you start a goady thread like this, then surely you will know the response you are going to get.

Especially as you have just basically slagged every single member off in one hit.

Because it is a representation of real life. If you have those experiences IRL then you are likely to have them on here, for various reasons.

I think you should explain what thread it was.

Come. Get it off your chest.

ClaraOswald · 11/10/2013 22:39

Nethuns is a pun. You do understand what one of those is?

sonlypuppyfat · 11/10/2013 22:39

Sometimes you get a right bunch, you only have one that doesn't properly read what you have written then they all follow suit

Trills · 11/10/2013 22:40

When writing, always consider your audience.

You wouldn't expect to get a positive answer if you went onto a Liverpool football club forum saying "Why are Liverpool shit?"

I'm sure that if you go on NetMums and ask "why is mumsnet so unfriendly and s* compared to netmums?" you'll get a much more positive reception :)

(remember that you can't swear there though)

Rufus44 · 11/10/2013 22:40

I'm not clicky with anyone, I've not been here long enough

I agree with pagwatch which thread was it, then we can give some honest opinions

Was it the school governor thread? I thought you were supported if it was that one?

midwifeandmum · 11/10/2013 22:42

Omg grow a set of balls and get on with it. I have had a few slanging matches on here, get over it. Its not airy fairy here.
Get over it Hello or piss off back to nm.
I had to admit i was wrong a few times and shook hands and get on with it, you should do the damn same.

Tiredmumno1 · 11/10/2013 22:42

ChaosTrulyReigns · 11/10/2013 22:43

Honestly, not everyone is unfriendly on here, hellogals. There's 2million registered users, and I know for usre there's 3 lovely people on here.

Including me.

You dont have to post here if you dont like it, why did you though if netmums is so great? Surely you could have just posted there

Tiredmumno1 · 11/10/2013 22:44

Chaos I swear I better be in that list Grin

I think it can be daunting especially if you are new, however I've found MN has helped me genuinely see other people's point of view and even changed the way I think about a particular issue. It's good to debate and argue and along the way have tears of laughter running down your cheeks.
