To hate that Mumsnetters Do This

Everytime someone says something popular opinion on mumsnet disagrees with they are accused of being stupid and uneducated.

You mainly see it on immigration, Europe and political parties.

These people who namecall never actually argue the point but accuse the poster of being uneducated.

Unless mumsnet changes any form of debate on here is going to be boring.

erm. penises is in my AC, so presume it's that?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 18/05/2015 11:12

I'm not sensitive, HoneyDragon, carry on... I do it myself sometimes.

TwerkingSpinster · 18/05/2015 11:19

Yes pag, it is a chat forum! So why can't people talk about certain subjects without hysterical demands for stats, research, evidence. The recent political threads are like this, mention immigration in any way that's not 100% supportive and you are leapt upon for being a cretinous racist with subnormal intelligence. Mumsnet has a script, and if you stray from it you are attacked.

Twerking ... the op has fucked off, people have had their say, there's nothing else to add is there?

What could be nicer than having a quick peek at some kittens?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 18/05/2015 11:21

Puppies? Could we have some puppies?

Mintyy · 18/05/2015 11:22

Oops, pardon me, x posted and see you haven't finished yet. Do carry on. But, if no one feels they want to respond to you because they can't be arsed to have the argument yet again, but otoh would like to talk kittens and ducks, don't go accusing people of being cliquey will you?

You can't make people engage in conversations they don't want to engage in.

TwerkingSpinster · 18/05/2015 11:28

I was replying to a poster minty, why are you still here?

Mintyy · 18/05/2015 11:30

Because I love kittens.

TwerkingSpinster · 18/05/2015 11:31

And I had something to add to the actual thread other than cummy kitten crap.

Mintyy · 18/05/2015 11:33

Look, I seem to have annoyed you when all I was trying to do was to give an opinion on why threads sometimes trail off into chat. I apologise for whatever it is I've done.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 18/05/2015 11:44

cummy kittens?? oh no. We don't go there. Gak. Shock

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 18/05/2015 11:46

This do you, Lying and Mintyy?

Tequilashotsfor1 · 18/05/2015 11:47

Tbh I think twerking point has been proved.

TwerkingSpinster · 18/05/2015 11:52

Oh yes, mega lolllzz, an auto correct error in my post!! Case. In. Point.

fattymcfatfat · 18/05/2015 11:55

thumb that's so cute. I want them so bad!
twerk that's one hell of a spelling mistake to make though, surely you see the funny side of that

Mintyy · 18/05/2015 12:04

Curious as to what word you wanted instead of cummy? and also why did your phone choose the word cummy, is it in it's dictionary?

Mintyy · 18/05/2015 12:06

When I type 'cum' into my phone it suggests Cummins, Cummings and Cummington Grin. Quite like Cummington actually, might have to do a quick nc.

fattymcfatfat · 18/05/2015 12:09

lady cummington the third has a nice ring to it Grin

TwerkingSpinster · 18/05/2015 12:15

I'm going to start posting pictures of cummy cats, as punishment for the others doing it with kittens! Tbh, I think some posters should just get off the threads if they aren't interested in the general thrust of the conversation and start their own ones. Op might be goady, but maybe she wanted to actually talk about the nastiness on here without it turning into the same tired old format of ridicule \dismiss and mock that seems to be mumsnet.

fattymcfatfat · 18/05/2015 12:27

just make sure you don't type cummy pussy into your search engine Wink

if the OP wanted to debate they had plenty of opportunity to do so before kittens came into it

at the end of the day, if the OP doesn't come back you can't have a go at people for chatting on a chat forum whether it's about the original point made or if it has moved on. doesn't matter either way, OP obviously isn't bothered.

Pagwatch · 18/05/2015 12:29

But Twerking, I have never asked people to produce stats or evidence - not to my recollection anyway. And I posted about the level of insults/aggression on the board after the election. I did it at the time when I saw it happen.

I just think if you respond to those issues when you see them it is more productive than starting a thread just pointing a superior finger at huge numbers of posters.

HoneyDragon · 18/05/2015 12:32

I've been challenging that behaviour on the threads the op has mentioned at the time.

And if you want to discuss stuff you need to like, actually discuss it.

Crummy kittens has made my crappy day much better even if it was an accident Thanks

HoneyDragon · 18/05/2015 12:33

*cummy

My autocorrect clearly has better manners than Twerks

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 18/05/2015 12:36

Oh was it an autocorrect? I thought you were conflating duckfucking with kittens. HOw could anyone have known?

Nah, I think I'll stay here for a bit. NO one has the right to tell anyone else to fuck off a thread, y'know. Except MNHQ. And that ain't you.
