to wonder what Mumsnet is actually for?

[Mintyy]

I find it impossible to use these days.

There is a fight on every thread. And I don't just mean in a yanbu/yabu sort of way. I mean that people are happy to round on others because they have different reasons for being here.

I have even seen a row between two different support threads this week.

If you want to make friends you are told off for being royalty or cliquey.

If you want to indulge in a little mild gossiping you are shouted down for being judgemental or shallow.

If you want to have a lighthearted chat you have to make that clear in the thread title nowadays.

I find the general mood of the place to be aggressive, angry, confrontational, defensive, impossible, predictable.

I keep hoping that things will improve, but how ?

You know someone's going to report this thread don't you?

For being too friendly and posters actually talking to each other

It's cliquey and bullying and ignoring people and just plain wrong.

Go back to being racist FFS.

And scottishmummy is back.

Am I allowed to say that I missed your posts? Or is that cliquey?

Please make this thread carry on until tomorrow because I am almightily sick of having to be all sensible now.

scottishmummys back, we have found getOrf now will someone please tell me bupcakes new name, pleeease.

Shall I start a 'Who is your favourite Mnetter thread? They always go down a storm.

Can we all add Xenia to the end of our names so that we can have that member of MN Royalty back again?

Actually I'll leave it to someone else, I am trying to stay under the radar.

You know things have got tricky when we get misty-eyed for Xenia.

Though I did always enjoy the one-sided dialogue that constituted our encounters.

'You know things have got tricky when we get misty-eyed for Xenia.'

How can you have MN without Xenia? It just ain't the same!
Maybe she is on Netmums, I'll have to check!

I missed the second half of the saga.
Were those pie fuckers mean to you Sparkling?

Netmums v Xenia. No contest. It would be a an apocalyptic wasteland.

No. It wasn't the pie people. Randall. I'll PM you.

xenia on netmums, dear god!

Oops, soz dude, did I put my foot in it?

Not at all Randall.

I actually de-registered in disgust the other day
didn't last long though

i like the Litter Tray now. everyone's so lovely

MN is for avoiding work, and for feeling less lonely in the evenings. And for ranting. Lots of posters on this thread I have not seen about for aaaages! One will pop up, and I will think "ooh, I remember them!"
I wish people wouldn't namechange (even tho I do) because it makes me feel like I went to a bar with my friends, went to the toilet, and when I came back they all went off to a different bar without telling me.
I know, I know, words on a screen.

Did you get roasted MmeD? I missed that too.

Tbh though that shows how little I've been on here.

Well no, that's not true, I still keep logging on but I scroll down Active Convos and just can't be arsed opening anything.

Yup. Two whole bleedin' threads about my unworthiness to breath the same air as others.. They did both get deleted, but it was a sustained group hammering.

I'm sticking to safe topics now until my flayed skin has grown back!

Advice for Mothers on net curtains?

Maybe now scottishmummy is back all the understudy cunts will get slurped back through their black hole

I think we should all move to the wilds of Novia Scotia with the Mner who wants to buy the mansion. Would cost us about a tenner each I reckon.

Might be a bit chillly, I s'pose we could take a couple of woolly huggers.
