Netmums VS Mumsnet

[Samwelly]

Mumsnet seems more controversial in content to me (well the AIBU section anyway). I previously enjoyed Netmums but find now that I hardly ever go on it. I prefer the "lively" sometimes abrasive discussions on Mumsnet.

I got banned for calling someone stupid they were.

Is 'twat' a swear word on Netmums Derek?

I think they're both absolutely great for the people that use them.
Some prefer one over the other. some like to flick between both.
I think they meet different needs a lot of the time.

Welcome to MN!

Well that didn't fucking work!

I read a thread ages ago on here where the NM's joined to post on a thread that had been started. I can't remember what the thread was about but it made pretty grim reading from what I remember.

I thought it was MNHQ announcing the first annual mn v mn football match.
Where is the real Derek and what have you done to her?

Hey, our site, our rulez well, Justine's site but whatever

Hun

I have been toying with the idea of dipping my toe in the other side recently.

Which came first, NM or MN?

I find on mums net people offer actual advice, based on knowledge and experience, rather than hugs and I'll informed advice.

Ok all kidding aside, Derek, I am worried about you! Come back to the dark side mate - we have wine, and crude humour and CAKE!!

Sparkling!

No Sparkling! Don't do it!

I had a look at NM once - they were using Comic sans, and seemed to be really proud of it. There is no hope for weirdoes like that.

I got banned for calling a couple of people trolls and saying a poster might not be genuine. There's a better variety of threads on here, not so many pregnancy one's which suits me too.

Aaaaa. Good old Mumsnet. Full of posters proudly polishing their gleaming lefty credentials. But when they actually come into contact with a real poor, badly educated person they just resort to snobbishness and mockery....

I went over once to take a look.

Gave me a headache.

I know Annie, but thought I would confess.

I find the pedantry, sarcasm, wit and wordplay over here excellent.
In NMland it's all 'frilly' and vacuous . Ifkwim

I used to go on both until I got banned from Netmums for saying I hoped another poster got banned ( she was being absolutely vile to another poster!).

I like the sound of vacuous, sometimes you need vacuous in your life. So many lectures on here at the moment.

I find netmums distracting, all the flashing glittering things. I also find the posts difficult to read, they often make little sense and are full of 'huns' and 'ah bless', plus the threads just witter on and on, completely off topic.
