To be disgusted by MN!

Some people need to give their head a wobble and honestly grow the fuck up and stop throwing their toys out the pram.

I understand people are upset and even angry the way the referendum went, however that does not give anyone the right to be vile and abusive!

It's completely unacceptable to tell someone they need "opt out of life" Angry because they choose there democratic right not to vote!

I am ashamed to be apart of this forum today!

MN admin shoud be ashamed of themselves, talk guidelines being broken left right and centre and you're no where to be seen!

Grow the fuck up and stop being unpleasant nasty fuckers! I very rarely swear but this place sickens me to the core of my stomach today!

the bremainers are shockingly bitter and seem to actively want a fucked UK to prove their point.

Not all of us

Ok, I'm feeling guilty. I have to fess up.
My dc don't eat olives.

They are carb junkies Blush

Totally agree. If this is how people on here think and feel then it is no longer a place I wish to frequent. I am gobsmacked by the attitude that leave voters are stupid beyond redemption and incapable of competent thought. This is a very unpleasant place to be right now.

Lweji · 25/06/2016 07:16

You do have to excuse people for being disgusted at you, then.

If someone came to your door to ask you if you wanted to stay there or leave to another house, would you just let them decide for you?

And then rant to the winds because your family was angry at you that you let others decide what happened?

Think about this.

I'm not being abusive not am going to be abusive, swearing does not make someone abusive in the correct context, asking people to grow up is not being abusive, and I'm certinatkcertinetaky not throwing my toys out the pram for pointing this out

It would have been better to take the moral high ground and remain dignified in victory

Bambamrubblesmum · 25/06/2016 07:20

door is that way>>

Anyone who doesn't vote doesn't have a voice. People died to give you that vote. I feel very passionately that in a world where some women are denied the right to vote, exercise their democratic rights or face violence for doing so, those that are fortunate enough to have those hard won rights should have a moral obligation to exercise them.

MsJamieFraser · 25/06/2016 07:21

Who said I did not vote, someone on here said I did not vote so it became gospel...

have I said I did not vote? Hmm

Thread about a bajillion other threads by the sound of it.

AuldYow · 25/06/2016 07:25

I guess because it was a straight in/out, yes/no but I amazed by the strength of feeling.

I was a Remain and totally gutted but the majority won, I vented yesterday but since sleeping on it realised that we need to accept it and crack on with what needs to happen next.

Although MN is known for never sugar coating things.

MsJamieFraser · 25/06/2016 07:25

People died to give woman the right to vote, not force them to vote, and yes people have a moral obligation to have a right to vote, even if that right is to choose not to vote.

Again have I stated that I haven't not voted!

Bye then....

acasualobserver · 25/06/2016 07:28

Very strong feeling was cynically stoked by both sides of the referendum debate. It won't dissipate overnight - on MN or anywhere else.

OP

Are you entering some kind of "Buzz Word Bingo" competition?

If so, may I suggest you missed a few

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 25/06/2016 07:29

Did you really need to start a thread moaning about it?

If you are fed up with the forum , don't log on.

MsJamieFraser · 25/06/2016 07:32

Lweji.

In don't have to think about it, because the scenario you have given I have lived! I was forced out of 3 homes as a child.

However this was expected, it was going to be, one way or another, and if it went against you it was not going to be unexpected, it was always 50/50

For me there is absolutely no reason to be vile and abusive, yes it's uncertain times ahead, and I completely understand people's fears, we are currently living in an unknown country.

However pitchforks isn't going to help. I hope it all settles down and answers will be given to settle people's fears, the majority voted out, and so out with happen, I just pray that our children will be OK.

Lweji · 25/06/2016 07:32

Fair enough.

You voted, or not, as you pleased. It's somewhat irrelevant.

But people were angry yesterday and many of those with good reason as the result affected them directly and on the day, with loss of job or house purchase.

This was a major decision with huge implications. It's normal that people have strong feelings about it.

Threads liken this don't help either.

Fcba some people lost their jobs yesterday and house purchases fell through.

MsJamieFraser · 25/06/2016 07:47

Lweji I get that, I just don't get the vileness, you can be angry and upset, however their is no justification for abuse, for me anyway, I started this thread as I needed to get this off my chest, I feel MN admin have failed last night.

I have very strong feeling on lots of things, I would never think it it be excusable to project my feelings and opinions to someone who disagreed.

Agree fuckingcunt I was speaking to a family member in Ireland yesterday and even they were dismayed at their friends social media comments. I suppose everyone's a keyboard warrior these days.
