Just about every post I read rude unnecessary comments.

Op.... because this place is rife with chancers/trolls/reporters

The trust has gone

GirlOnATrainToShite · 03/10/2017 23:46

I think it's ridiculous recently.

Full of twats wanting to jump on the bandwagon rather than be helpful and get in there with the first "smart" remark which has just been copied from another thread. Unrealistic expectations way off real life and ridiculous suggestions.

With the odd sensible, fair and helpful suggestion peppered amongst.

Brainsfordays · 03/10/2017 23:47

I don't know, are you an MNter?

Donkey sorry. Was going to say something about flouncing an - oh, look! SQUIRREL

RunningOutOfCharge · 03/10/2017 23:48

No... we are MNers.... no ‘t’

FastWindow · 03/10/2017 23:51

brains it is Tuesday. To be fair. Most bitching happens on Tuesdays, statistically. Something to do with the Monday effect?

FastWindow · 03/10/2017 23:55

Oh dear God.

ErrolTheDragon · 03/10/2017 23:58

Definitely MNers not MNters. The latter sounds like 'munter' which would be a very rude thing to collectively call a predominantly women's forum...again, presumably the OP didn't intend that. Sometimes peoples posts get interpreted as being rude when they really didn't mean to be.

FastWindow · 04/10/2017 00:01

Except this is AIBU. And nobody posts in aibu unless they mean to.

FastWindow · 04/10/2017 00:02

Rudeness intended, and received.

ILoveDolly · 04/10/2017 00:06

I usually only post once I've had a glass of wine and probably my crap drunk idea of humour doesn't help. At the moment though I'm BR

Brainsfordays · 04/10/2017 00:06

It seems to me people are presuming what I have intended despite the post being such a short one, trying to find fault in every word I have used. I have not used the word munter and it's quite clear I meant mners? It's an extra T. God. Shoot me.

Tasteless op, tasteless!

Brainsfordays · 04/10/2017 00:11

Please stop telling me what I intended Grin I asked why people are so bitchy on here, maybe you could tell me why? I only wondered as I am seeing new mothers who are at there most vulnerable in ways of thinking being targeted by rude people aswell as others with problems albeit the reason they post in the first place being victims of the awful comments judging there way of thinking when it isn't needed really.

Frigid and feminist aren’t synonyms. Thank fuck.

squoosh · 04/10/2017 00:14

There is a pack mentality on here. I find that a judgmental sounding OP brings out the aggression. Then you get a host of people being very judgmental about the OP not seeing the irony. Every so often someone will bring out the phrase "goady fucker" to justify the nastiness/bullying. Also every single word will be monitored. As in this case the OP uses a "misogynistic" insult and gets a smart-arsed reply that basically proves what they were saying.

But I agree with other pp who have said this is part of using an anymous forum. You come across unpleasant people who you probably wouldn't speak to in real life. It's your choice whether you engage or not. Although it is sad that people can't be more considerate of others' feelings.

RunningOutOfCharge · 04/10/2017 00:23

Yes you’ve been ‘with her’

But is she ‘with’ you? Or planning her escape.....like so many on here

You might be on the divorce diet soon fatguy

MrsTerryPratchett · 04/10/2017 00:29

It’s totally pack mentality. I mean coming onto a mostly female forum and insulting it using sexist swear words is designed to elicit a super snuggly response.

Give a bitch a bad name...

Alternatively my computer has an OFF button. For when I’m not feeling the MN love. It happens.

Bitchfromhell · 04/10/2017 00:37

Thank fuck for the bitchiness I say. So many rl chats are false and fawning in my job. At least here people call a Yorkshire pudding a Yorkshire pudding.
