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?

I don't really get place marking. I just watch a thread if I am interested, why mark your place?

I get de-lurking, but place marking Confused

I've been hunned, sweetied, kissed, loled at.

I've had to read about hubby's and bubbas.

And I've been accused of being a troll, despite being here for best part of a decade and having never name changed.

Yep, dogs I tell ya, dogs. It's almost nethuns.

AIBU drains your spirit and prematurely ages you.

AIBU is like groundhog day.

OttiliaVonBCup · 26/02/2015 21:40

I do love a good bunfight.

But it's all bandwagon where days, you just get steamrolled.
Or maybe that's just me.

Tis abuse, really.

OttiliaVonBCup · 26/02/2015 21:43

Get your own, Cowboy.
It's in the fridge, waiting.

fizzycolagurlie · 26/02/2015 21:43

Its gone to the dogs in that there's a huge number of threads that get pulled for being fake.

But in previous years when I've visited, there have been huge rucks and nastiness of the like I've not seen for a while (thank goodness).

So in one sense yes, its gone downhill and another, its improved.

WineCowboy · 26/02/2015 21:44

do I know you!!!!

(I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not - I have no radar for this!)

Right we all need to go out tomorrow and ensure we do something funny/interesting/noteworthy and start a thread about it tomorrow.

We owe to Mumsnet and more than that we owe it to ourselves to restore this once glorious institution to it's former glory ( crying in dramatic Oscar worthy type way as I type that last bit )

OttiliaVonBCup · 26/02/2015 21:44

Bring back Camille.

And you can guarantee one person on AIBU will post the following:

OP: AIBU
Everyone: Yes
OP: No I'm not

I think I see it on every thread I read on there!

Or the classic opening of: I know this has been done to death but….

Yy usual I like the 'attractive lady' thread. Especially the woman who asked her DP who she most looked like and he said Alan Rickman.

I don't know I think anyone can bf they just need to persevere. I feel so sad for ff bubbas.

And I wish wish people would monitor and follow where theit cats poi as I am terrified my baby will crawl into some and go blind.

Koalafications · 26/02/2015 22:01

Oh yes! Cat hating threads. I don't know anyone who is terrified of cat and dog poo but MN seems to be filled with the buggers.

PutridArseWeasel · 26/02/2015 22:02

MonkeyFace there is no way on earth I could call myself this on nethuns, so no, no it is not practically nothing.
