to think the 'Pregnancy' board is becoming ridiculous

[ShowYourSeams]

I got a lot of great advice on there when I was pregnant and have continued to contribute as I feel I can give some advice having carried 3 children.

But at the moment it seems like the huns have all moved in to ask if they're pregnant (despite numerous negative tests) because they have slightly sensitive nipples.

AIBU to think some common sense needs to come into play? And if they must post it should be on the 'conception' board?

There are definitely not many huns on there right now Usual.

Quite the opposite.

Makes AIBU look like fluffykittencentral.

So what.. You don't have to read those posts...

I've had loads of miscarriages and am trying to conceive again. It's very difficult waiting each day until it's time to test - month after month. It's painful. I have posted wondering if my symtoms sounded like pregnancy at a stage when it was to early to test. Otherwise I'd just be wondering silently to myself - it makes it a bit easier when you can share with others

The huns are being chased off with pitchforks given short shrift right now.

I've disagreed with darth on several threads just this week yet i think she has taken a battering!
I was on the thread she was on about, she wasn't rude!
'Sarcy' at most.
She then had an abusive pm was that acceptable?

I find the talk of 'Huns' really uncomfortable. It's really derogatory and surely the wider the demographic mumsnet reaches the better as then there will be a wider range of views when people ask for opinions. Unless we want to exclude people because of the language they use?

And arrogant, smug, condescending, and unwelcoming to new posters

To be fair, that particular new poster kind of deserved it. And was way worse in reply to darth, though more cowardly by pm.

Unless we want to exclude people because of the language they use?

Well, I would, but I'm a total facist. Honest about it though

People were appallingly rude to that poster before she sent the PM. She was laughed at, derided and in the very first reply told to go somewhere else and post.

I'm not excusing the PM, but 2 wrongs don't make a right, and had the first reponses (no pun intended) to her been a little bit nicer and kinder, she probably wouldn't have sent it.

And this is why we shouldn't let Sith Lords post on Mumsnet.

Seriously though - people seem to be getting very wound up over a non matter. Just ignore the threads you don't like. They are almost always 100% obvious by being titled things like "Is this a line???"

And yes, talk about insulting a whole group of women based on one way of talking. You might as well call them lower-class-scum out loud and be done with it with the attitudes on some of these threads.
