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'm at the back on the left- the one with the long blonde hair (so you don't actually get a glimpse of me until we do the formation dance!)

Yes, we do a proper performance 3 times a year and some small appearances at fetes and stuff every now and then in summer

Aw, fanks Grin

Like everything, everyone has their own take on things... its all cyclical isnt it.

People get different things out of MN and AIBU pages can provoke a bit of a bunfight. People have always bickered on MN but I've also seen some very kind and supportive threads and others that have made me laught outloud

The biggest difference I see nowadays is that the site seems so much bigger than ever.... I remember the days when there were a number of regular posters who appeared on so many different threads ... its so much bigger nowadays and diverse. So to sum up... its not better or worse than before, just evolving

WayfaringStranger · 26/02/2015 22:59

Stop cryin' all the time!

countessmarkyabitch · 26/02/2015 23:03

No. It's you.
