You know, like to used to be in the olden daze - pre PB and further back than that.

Where do we go onto from here? Is there an escape plan?

**Disclaimer I knew there were always arseholes here, but now it feels like they have completely taken over. I'm out more than in these days (re MN) but I do kind of miss the fun, humor, intelligence and knowledge of the forum how it used to be.

We have a flouncers corner for this shit. If you think the site is so terrible and we are all such horrible people just go post somewhere else.

You forgot the Hmm face,Helena

Yes, Twerp/Twit/Twunt are good for teenagers whove forgotten keys.

Arsehole / Git / Shitforbrains better for the person who cut you up.

Who is/was PB?

BeMorePanda · 02/03/2017 17:16

I was on holiday and missed PB and came back to a changed world.
No it wasn't that funny - I was very WTF?
But it did bring loads more people here.

I think mumsnet is so big now that you get such a cross section of society that someone is always going to seem like a cu t to you. Like Reddit.

Maudlinmaud · 02/03/2017 17:25

Is that it Panda? I've read that thread, very dull.

WorshipTheGourd · 02/03/2017 17:30

Or the Shakespearean: 'Quim'?

WorshipTheGourd · 02/03/2017 17:36

There is a lot of knowledge on MN.
And a lot of kindness and support.
And a lot of bluntness - that's good - tell it like it is.
I just don't like the word cunt, but apart from that, i'd rather have MN than unicorn glitter.

PollytheDolly · 02/03/2017 17:39

I'm a nice cunt.

BeMorePanda · 02/03/2017 17:59

@Maudlinmaud for some reason the world went mad, the servers crashed, and loads of people previously furiously leaving comments on Mail online stories signed up to MN. And so, in my mind, I associate it with a flood of cunts (and not in a good way).

One of the first things I noticed was that people say when being genuinely nice to someone, "have some unmumsnetty hugs".

What that basically means imo is that it is anathema to be nice to someone on here.

It has changed, for me. That's all I can say really.

nancy75 · 02/03/2017 18:55

I'm in the mood for a moan. Know what ducks me off? Posters trotting out trite overused lines time & time again.
E.g. I'm pissed of with MN response x 100 don't let the door hit you on the way out, bye then, not original & not funny.
Are you on glue? This was funny the first time someone said it, it's not funny anymore, it will never be funny again, please stop it.
So many more but I can't be bothered to type

nancy75 · 02/03/2017 18:56

Know what else FUCKS me off? Fucking spellcheck that turns my swear words in to water fowl Angry
