AIBU to think this guy is truly a complete and utter narcissitic twit?

He has the nerve to steal stories from mumsnet and then describes us all as "foul mouthed, illiterate harridans"

Grrr.

We have a Pedant's Corner FFS! How does that fit in his horrible vision of us as an Entity?

Maybe he thinks MNHQ set it up and sockpuppet it occasionally in a desperate attempt to class the place up a bit? Confused

don't watch then! I couldn't give 2 fucks what he has to say

its a fucking chat forum, so what

Wookiecookies · 17/11/2016 11:37

I quite like "termagent", maybe in the spirit of Matthew not repeating himself AGAIN when describing posters from (the newly named by beauty) cuntsnet. He can describe us all as 'unedumacated sweary termagents', you know, to keep it fresh.

No need to thank me Matthew Wink

He can’t mean Mumsnet if he said illiterate. The posting standard on here is astonishingly high compared to most forums. People apologise if they accidentally miss an autocorrect or misuse an apostrophe.

A good proportion of the population don’t have a clue how to use an apostrophe and certainly wouldn’t apologise on an internet forum if they got one wrong.

It's true.

It must be very galling for him that he relies on us foul-mouthed, illiterate harridans for the material for his programme. He must be very conflicted about that.

I've always thought he looks like a Poundland version of Jim Carrey. And there's a definite hint of Plug from the Bash Street Kids too.

Oi Maffyoo ya twat, wtf is u on abowt? We iz lyk well lityrit innit. U iz torkin owt ur arz. Dik ed.

Seriously what is with these shouty, self important men who would otherwise be used car salesmen? Illiterate? Do fuck off.

MsHooliesCardigan · 17/11/2016 11:48

Is this a suitable thread to post that I find him quite attractive? Blush

squoosh · 17/11/2016 11:50

There, there. You let it out MsHoolie. It can't be good for one's organs to let a pash for Matt build up. It would upset your humours.

LeavesinAutumn · 17/11/2016 11:50

He is so ignorant, every day he says something awful.

Its a shame, I like the format of the show and the guests and preferred it when Richard Madley was on it. And thats saying something Grin

pictish · 17/11/2016 11:50

Must agree that describing us as illiterate is an out and out lie. He's just winding us up.

I have not read the whole thread ,and I don't watch his programme but I do think the C* word is excessively used on here , I am in no way a prude but I tend to post using the language I would use if I were talking to someone and I seriously cannot believe that people use that word so liberally in day to day life yet it pops up on practically every thread on here .

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 17/11/2016 11:53

I think he's fairly typical of men who claim to love intelligent women; and yet are appalled by the idea that they may actually have an intelligent opinion (shock, horror).

In any case, I for one, am grateful for his existence as it was his incessant remarks about MN that led me here - I knew that if he hated it, it had to be good!

EBearhug · 17/11/2016 11:53

Good god, do any researchers do any work aside from browsing munsnet?

You mean, they're getting paid to do what many of us just do anyway? I think I 'm in the wrong job...

ChangingNamesAgain · 17/11/2016 11:54

He will only have said it to create a thread like this so he can find inspiration for his show. God forbid he comes up with an original idea for once.

onelastpigout · 17/11/2016 11:54

I think it's funny! He gets loads of stick on here so why not.

It's funny.
MN'rs gets so upset over the silliest of things sometimes. People need to lighten up a bit.

Camomila · 17/11/2016 11:55

See I'm fine with foul mouthed harridan as in insult, but come on we're hardly illiterate.

In fact I'd say we're one of the most literate general forums out there.

slug · 17/11/2016 11:55

Is this the same Matthew Wright who was successfully sued for libel after he wrote a damming review of a play he hadn't seen?

I see he hasn't learned from his mistakes.

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 17/11/2016 11:55

squoosh Grin at Plug!

WorraLiberty · 17/11/2016 11:55

I think 'transgender obsessed Daily Mail readers' might have been a more modern description Grin

birdybirdywoofwoof · 17/11/2016 11:56

The hypocrisy is incredible!

They have been using this as a resource for years - yet he slags it off constantly. That makes him a twat.

Somehow, I still find his face quite attractive though. Sigh.
