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?

Can't we share our picture allocation? I'll give you mine buffs, no idea how to use them anyway

Good idea, Hully. Could be done by emailing or using dropbox then the other user posts it of course.

cant buffs just sort of have it, reni?

Hm, ask on Site Stuff, maybe they'll go for it. Why has it been restricted in the first place? I didn't even know it had, never posted a picture myself.

Yes, Hully, I knew what it meant and no, I don't feel I am alone in my opinions because I'm not stupid enough to think Mumsnet is a microcosm of society.

Everyone here thinks the same but not everyone out there does

I wish everyone would just join in rather than complain that it's unfair and bullying or whatever.

Yes, there are people here that I have chatted to and joked with in the past but no one is going to ignore a name you don't recognise and just chat to people you know.

Reni is all about steak and wine.

Pictures are normally restricted on forums to stop spamming of the forum servers. Also they take up vast amounts of space as well as affecting bandwidth etc.

It's nothign unusual

Not that many people do post pictures though, 33, or was it always restricted?

ok swallowing. i'm confused. I give up. I thought your point was that if you went against what you call mainstream thought in here, you got treated like a cunt.

What I don't understand is how so many disputes and rows arise on MN if everyone thinks the same?

I actually think people on here don't think the same at all

In fact I think it's much more diverse right wing than it used to be.

What still remains true is that generally if you act like a cunt, you'll get treated like one.

I would just like to point out that my last post was brilliant and insightful when I wrote it an hour ago and did not press send and then went back to pretending to work.

I did not however press refresh before posting and the thread may have moved on since then.

We are the Borg - we think alike and act alike. Exterminate.

Spot on in my opinion, especially the last sentence.

Rending garments renders them rent. Just so you know.
Rent is an adjective - rend is the verb - past is rended, but past passive is rent.
I rended my garments until they were rent asunder, sort of thing.

There is not talking to some people.

Bring back Meryl I say.

'Borg' not THE Borg - the indicates many Borg - but Borg are one collective consciousness not individuals - hence 'we are Borg'

and OMG Exterminate is Darleks honestly some people

The rending/rent sub-genre is really very enjoyable.

I offered a bowl of satsumas decorated like Jack o' lanterns out on Halloween along with the sweets a couple of years ago. I thought it made me look like a bit of a dick, but quite a few parents and ALL of the children really liked them. Even the teens.

Psst, ghosty, there is no 'r' in Dalek.

yes we will soon have:

Begging
It's American / no it's not
Fireworks should be banned
Begging again - and in our day it was a PENNY for the guy - bloody inflation
How much are you spending on your kids this Christmas
Mooslamics banning X mass
Present disappointment
Fireworks again
