So many 'nethun' type posts on here just lately

I've seen so many posts recently with kisses on, not just after a post but after every sentence. I hate it.

Also words such as bubba and hubby have been creeping in.

Does it bother anyone else or aibu to want to punch my computer every time I see it?

Yes. You're a miserable fucker.

WellErrr · 29/12/2016 23:10

Bothers me too.

WorraLiberty · 29/12/2016 23:10

This again?

It's the way of the internet.

Join most FB groups and you'll see a whole host of people of different ages, doing exactly the same thing.

It's not going to change so you might as well get used to it.

What's "nethun"??

ILoveDolly · 29/12/2016 23:11

Awww what's up hun x u feelin ok??!! xxx

WellErrr · 29/12/2016 23:11

But I bet someone will come on and tell you to 'chill out hun xxxx' Grin

wigglesrock · 29/12/2016 23:12

And does it make your eyes itch to see such posts? I haven't noticed an influx but I don't take MN that seriously, so it doesn't really bother me how people type/talk.

WellErrr · 29/12/2016 23:12

Cross post! Grin

Oysterbabe · 29/12/2016 23:13

U ok hun? Inbox me 😚 xx

There's no crime in being polite, is there

WorraLiberty · 29/12/2016 23:13

Tbh it used to irk me a little (and yes I realise that's entirely my problem)

But given how many trolls, goady fuckers and nasty bastards there are on the internet, I'd much rather see friendly posts even if they do contain 'xxx' at the end.

Birdsgottafly · 29/12/2016 23:13

I've never had a problem with the use of hubby.

I wish the piss taking over what can be classed as being certain WC culture would stop, if it was any other group having the piss took, MN would be up in arms.

WellErrr · 29/12/2016 23:14

Posters of the NetMums ilk, East.

If you don't like it there are other sites.

QueenMortificado · 29/12/2016 23:16

I think it's a bit shit to come on and slag off Netmums

This thread pops up about once a week at the moment. Yawn.

WellErrr · 29/12/2016 23:16

(Sorry!)

And Birds everyone has the piss taken on here. You can't be WC or middle class enough to have a cleaner.

No one group is singled out. And text speak and tickers really isn't a class thing. It irritates me whoever does it.

EastMidsMummy · 29/12/2016 23:16

Why "nethun"? What is it? How do you sa it? I don't get it??

PlaymobilPirate · 29/12/2016 23:17

Who made you queen of what people can type on a public forum?

TheGruffaloMother · 29/12/2016 23:17

It bothers me slightly (not nearly as much as trolling) but it bothers me everywhere, not just here. All it means is I get to be a grumpy bastard here too.

WellErrr · 29/12/2016 23:17

Worra that is actually very true

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 29/12/2016 23:18

It bothers me more that people post expecting 100% unwavering agreement hun xx, swear at anyone who doesn't agree then tell them to "fuck off my thread". Or starts a new one complaining that not everyone patted them on the head and said "there, there, of course you're right agreed.

WorraLiberty · 29/12/2016 23:19

WellErrr, I know babes Wink xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

HelenaWay · 29/12/2016 23:21

Pirate, I'm not telling people what they can and can't type on a public forum, I'm just asking if the kissing bothers anyone else.

I can put up with it at the end of the post but some people put kisses after each sentence. I don't like it.

OP posts:
ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 29/12/2016 23:24

I couldn't give a shit. If a poster's intention is to be empathetic and supportive, why does their wording matter?

If I'm feeling low, a 'X' or 'hun' doesn't make me bristle - just makes me humbled someone took the time to respond to me. They didn't have to.

VeryBitchyRestingFace · 29/12/2016 23:27

Is 'nethun' some sort of portmanteau of 'netmums' and 'hun'?
