That the "popular" posters on here are often rude.

[dancerchancer]

I won't mention names but some of them seem to be popular for....not a lot really. Certain people come to mind who have a reputation for being straight talking and funny but most of the time I don't see it. I find them rather disagreeable tbh. Is it just me?

I've deleted Facebook as having A Bit of a Shit Time™ in real life.

So I thought "I'm going to give MN another chance"

And it's been hard. As someone up there said, I look down Active Convos and discount most threads immediately "GF, troll, bollocks...etc"

And then I stumbled across this thread and joined in early ish on. Came back this evening to read the further 5 pages and have laughed and grrrrr'd and really enjoyed seeing old names and then new names, having a larf.

It's warmed the cockles of me soul it has.

I would raise a glass, but as I'm now a teetotaller (5 days in, first time I've ever decided to quit) I shall raise a custard donut and a glass of fizzy blackcurrant juice [fizz]

Perhaps it really is "just me"

Well depending on what your previous names were it isn't just you because I was pretty recently accused by a poster in adoption of being horrid to anyone who didn't agree with me. So she obviously thought I was rude and a few people agreed with her so I am obviously am a great deal more horrid than I had ever realised. I am however hoping (off the back of this thread that this also makes me popular)

Peculiarly I had never previously hear of these posters, they admitted they'd never posted in "Adoption" before and presumably hadn't felt like pointing this out to me whilst I was actually being horrid to anyone (in the interests of actually helping the victim).

The thing is I am a bit of a sitting duck for accusations of being mean/sarcastic/unreasonable because I have posted plenty in some sections over nearly 10 years and I rarely if ever name change. I can think of many occasions where I've been less than polite on some occasions.

Being accused of not being perfect enough by someone who's never posted in a particular special interest board is bizarre though.

GrumpY - FFS I am never going to be popular - I have red hair so can't even join the blonde click and no one liked my squirrel - I am going to drown in my sex pool fuck you all

I think ghosty is really on a Halloween nc, is usually gordy,

I'm fake blondeishkindared and no pretty waves - so I can't be in that click either ghosty.

We can be Nonblonde together if you want?

Kew, was it JH under a cunning nc?

be careful or I shall set up my own society with the OP

Soppitits - Society Of Perpetually Pissedoff Ignored Troublemaking Idiotic Twats - so there

Ooh maybe red makes us reasonable? My red was a shock though - I let a hairdresser loose without really listening to her and ended up with tomato head.

I am still here you know

I heard you were talking about me

I won't ignore you ghosty.

oh yes a Kool Not Originally Blonde Haired Extremely Amazing Divas?

Ha! Not just me then.

Ghosty, feel the luuuurve

Maryz, that's what I'm hoping. I've, like, cleaned n stuff today. No twatting about online on a fug of gloom. (Well, some twatting about, on MN, but only a little)

This is an old Halloween name - I'm such a lazy slattern I could not be arsed to change it back

LtEve did you scream or where you very stoical - thanking her kindly and leaving a tip !

Oh Scrambled I have a cat who does that - but then she bites me

I'm brunette with hints of auburn and flecks of grey

hully where the fuck have you been?

I don't agree with anything or anyone. I am in the disagreeable corner

Oh and i'm never rude and not at all popular so maybe that prove s the OP's point it doesn't
