I do think it's the 'ladies/mummies' bit that makes everyone a bit 'oh here we go'.

Wtfih - I think you're right. You can't please everyone!

Sparklingbrook · 28/07/2015 15:46

I wouldn't even try to please everyone on MN it's a really big site. Even though with all the namechanging sometimes it feels like there's about ten posters tops. Grin

I name change a lot too, but I'm only doing to protect myself. It allowed me to post details without worrying so much about someone putting 2 and 2 together.
If it wasn't for the name change facility I would definitely not be as active.

People don't like it if you do namechange and about the same amount don't like it if you don't namechange, you can really never please anyone on that front.

It's nearly as bad as having a gif of a facial expression as the opening message.

I ought to make it clear that I have no problem with men on mn. i rarely notice whether it's the men on here who post or not and the advice is as valid as any other. It's the certain type of person that calls us ladies that set alarm bells ringing.

It's usually a journalist.

I hate when it ends with Discuss.

FatherReboolaConundrum · 28/07/2015 16:34

I assume it's a man. Probably .

TakeMeUpTheNorthMountain · 28/07/2015 16:37

From now on, start every post with "What's happening Cuntychops?"

No one can be offended by that....

WorraLiberty · 28/07/2015 16:43

Hmm what about vegetarians?

TakeMeUpTheNorthMountain · 28/07/2015 16:46

CuntyCarrots?

TofuTwunts?

BroccoliBastards?

SnapesCapes · 28/07/2015 16:46

My brother emailed me this week starting "Hello fucker". I think I prefer that.

HappyGirlNow · 28/07/2015 16:48

Not really that big a deal is it.... Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 28/07/2015 16:49

I have teen boys and they sometimes greet a group of their male mates with 'Hello Ladies'. Grin it's like living in the Inbetweeners Movie at this house.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 28/07/2015 17:13

lol at 'hello VEGETARIANS!"

I'd guess they're either male or trying to sell you something.
