....which refer to previous posts or posters, but don't add anything to the discussion, e.g. "I agree with x", "What x said", or even "^^ This.". What's the point, other than to get your username on the screen or jump on a bandwagon? If you're going to the trouble of posting, why not contribute something? If someone's already said exactly what you think, there's no need to post! Aaargh!

Or indeed if you are using that newfangled Mumsnet New that reads top to bottom.

It's because we don't have a 'Like' button.

Apparently if we have a like button people will stop answering posts at all so this is what we do instead.

or we could always feel sorry for your children instead

are you sure Maryz?

CuntyBunty · 08/01/2014 16:54

I'm a twat, too MaryZ. Sometimes I am a dick though.

I disagree OP, but I don't feel strongly either way.

I don't agree with any of you

candycoatedwaterdrops · 08/01/2014 16:59

No more pointless than posts like this.......

"YABU and a bitch."

mrsminiverscharlady · 08/01/2014 17:00

Posts which consist of

^
This

give me the utter rage for no justifiable reason whatsoever. In fact I have a whole list of MN phrases which piss me right off, including "A&E NOW", "food full of chemical crap", "t'is", "t'was" "do consequences", "" etc etc.

A good indication I think that I'm an intolerant cow and that it's high time that I ban myself from MN for a few months.

Thanks OP!!

I agree with spartacus right up there ^^ at the top.

scrolling back up to find out what he/she said is annoying though

melika · 08/01/2014 17:10

I think OP is wrong, I agree with you lot.
