To think MN is going to the dogs?

There is so much trolling, bitching and nastiness on here at the moment!

Am I wearing rose tinted glasses, because I don't remember MN being this bad, ever.

AIBU to think things seem to have gone downhill?

Wow, just realises how that sounds ^. Before any POs jump on me I have several disabilities and don't really think you would abuse the disability spaces Blush

Oh it's awful. I recently left for about 6 months and it was great - after about 7 years on here, to leave and have no qualms about it, not to miss it, not to want to come back. I am no longer proud to admit I come on here. I'm ashamed to admit it.

I now don't identify with the site, I don't want to be known (and I used to be - once called royalty in fact!) it is just filled with horrible and stupid people as well as some very nice ones.

It really is like Glastonbury. It went mainstream and sold out, though it was inevitable I suppose and I don't blame anyone for it.

Now you just can't move for the sort of people you would avoid in everyday life. I hate it now Sad

Ooh - which member of mumsnet royalty were you?

PatterofaMinion · 27/02/2015 12:49

I don't really want to say...I was only a minor royal if that Smile

These dogs are coming for MN...

But seriously - you know we live for reports, and if there's stuff that breaks our talk guidelines, or just doesn't look cricket please do report it to us.

I nearly started a silly thread just for you yesterday puds, so plaintive did you sound on that infuriating thread we won't mention.

But I was so cheesed off I couldn't get in the mood.

I will click on serious threads and then get annoyed when people are talking complete bollocks, though. I should learn, really.

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 27/02/2015 12:57

I stick mostly to telly addicts

Don't throw cricket in as well Kate we haven't organized the dog trip yet! The cricket one will be in the summer if this one goes ok.

That reminds me, we need buns for the coach Grin

Arsenic · 27/02/2015 13:01

You are pretty seriously addicted, aren't you Muddha? I'd noticed that Wink

Buzzard you accidentally giving the PO your blue badge made me giggle (out loud Shock).

Surely their bus is down the side in the 5 min pock up zone? All the better for encouraging them to PO quicker

JugglingFromHereToThere · 27/02/2015 13:08

Aww, liking the dogs KateMN.

As you might know I've sent in a couple of reports today (unusual for me) though perhaps unfortunately not without mentioning the word troll in one of my posts first (That post now gone as per guidelines - fair enough - and PM from BeccaMN was very nice about it)

Perhaps you could make it clearer that you don't really mind troll hunting as long as we do it in league with HQ?! But I guess that's what your doggy post above is kinda saying in a diff way?

Looking a bit like we need some troll hunters these days?

PutridArseWeasel · 27/02/2015 13:10

Pock up? Pick up/ Loading bay thingy. Bah, you know what I mean.

BuzzardBird · 27/02/2015 13:16

You saying I've got 'pocks' Put? Angry

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 27/02/2015 13:19

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 27/02/2015 13:28

Lweji · 27/02/2015 14:21

My inner goddess is very patient, though.

And choosy. I only frequent threads that don't try my patience too much.

Lweji · 27/02/2015 14:22
Enormouse · 27/02/2015 14:25

I think that's called being godist lweji.

I'm in awe of your inner goddess. My inner goddess frequently want to beat people to death with chairs.

Enormouse · 27/02/2015 14:26

*wants

Lweji · 27/02/2015 14:31

My outer goddess could strangle people to death easily, or just render them silent unconscious. Much cleaner than beating with chairs.
But the inner goddess just imagines that she has done it covers ears and sings la la la.

Middlerose · 27/02/2015 15:21

If you're upset about it, then maybe you should book a spa day?

HairyOrk · 27/02/2015 15:23

Wait a minute, Mumsnet is going to the dogs and no one invited me?
You bunch of vipers!!!
