Cunt and a dick?

This place has changed.
It's ok to pull the trousers off a child and thump them if they asked for it?
A PBP claims their child abuses their dog. I'm a cunt for suggesting they should stop that?
I miss Zombie. Sad
I have offered support on miscarriage and medical issues and posts about pets and MH issues. And loads more.
But I'm a dick and a know it all cunt who posts on every thread with my know it all opinions?
Too many bitches.
Not enough vipers.

You don't know me.
I do actually have experience of children with a variety of SEN.
The troll OP didn't state the child had SEN. They said the child had behaved badly in the last couple of months. That's not the same thing.
I have one dog. That is correct. I have spent many years around dogs though but waited until my situation allowed me to have one of my own. I have spent a good few years doing an awful lot of research from a variety of sources prior to bringing her home. I expect my bad advice was along the lines of "dominance theory is rubbish, don't buy a puppy farmed dog or don't leave a puppy to cry". I am sorry if that advice upsets you.

I know what you post.

What experience do you have of children with SEN? Do you live with any? Work with them daily?

The OP said the child was under investigation through the correct channels for SEN. If you had experience of SEN and ASD you'd know it can take years and years to get support and a diagnosis.

Your "many years around dogs" isn't qualifications, working with dogs, research, showing, training other dogs etc though, is it? You have one dog. One experience with a dog of your own and no professional qualifications. You've tried to correct me in the past as someone who does have all of these things. You were very wrong.

Don't be so ridiculous. Why would that advice "upset" me?

Quit being a martyr and as I said yesterday, perhaps get a hobby or something to do other then Mumsnet and you might find the inner peace that stops you from being awful to others on an internet forum.

Wolfiefan · 13/02/2018 08:58

I'm not the one being awful to people on MN Confused
Thankfully I don't need to detail my family history, life experience or qualifications for keyboard warriors who don't like what I post.
Please feel free to get back to slagging me off on Reddit or wherever whist I go and enjoy half term with my kids.

If you had experience, you'd post it. You don't, so you won't. It's a simple concept and one that seems to pass you by when you're antagonising others.

Bye now Smile

Wolfiefan · 13/02/2018 09:03

I didn't share as it's about 20 years of varied experience with children who aren't mine so I don't want to share.
A simple concept? Name calling is unacceptable. That one seems to have passed you by too! Grin

I don't like it when people are critical on threads I start. Generally. Having a difficult ds1, diagnosed SEN, but then the diagnosis was disputed. Posters Criticising my parenting, behaviour, mental state, being cold and uncaring, I have found very difficult. On a thread I started.

Surely you would too OP.
Turn the books and imagine how you would feel, if posters posted what you post, back to you.

Valerrie · 13/02/2018 09:08

I was talking about the dogs more than the children, seeing as you're such an expert on anything canine.

rhubarbturtle · 13/02/2018 09:16

What has Zombie got to do with any of this? Confused

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 13/02/2018 09:20

Your dog is the dogs bollocks fabulous!! That face!

ShowOfHands · 13/02/2018 09:24

I received a death threat on MN once. The thread topic? Dogs. I'm always surprised at the vitriol dog threads draw on both sides. From all dogs are disgusting and should be destroyed to anybody who doesn't risk their life to save a dog should be fucked up and left to drown in their own blood (that's me btw, admitted I wouldn't intervene in a certain situation and a certain poster wanted me dead and offered to meet me in rl).

There is a wealth of knowledge on dog topics with some posters doing sterling work. There's also some utterly revolting behaviour which is why your common garden pbp comes to them for kicks.

That deleted thread was a fine example of the two sides.

In Cunts Corner, if you REALLY excel at being a cunt, do you get made a ThunderCunt?

Loyaultemelie · 13/02/2018 09:25

Fwiw I'm a bundle of nerves this morning waiting for news and Wolfiepup really cheered me up so I definitely don't think you're a dick (or the other word which although I'm sweary I hate that one)

Wolfiefan · 13/02/2018 09:30

@Iama greyhoundhearmeroar
For you. The face.
Haha at Thundercunt!
Loyaul I hope the news is good and this pic makes you smile.
Right. Really must walk this girl now!

Never mind all that other crap, your dog is magnificent!

LakieLady · 13/02/2018 09:30

I always take being called a cunt as a compliment, Wolfiefan.

Imo it means you're deep, warm, beautiful and life-giving.

Oblomov18 · 13/02/2018 09:31

Now. He really is a sweetie Grin

Farfel · 13/02/2018 09:34

Reddit. People aren't fawning over you there, thank goodness.

How utterly childish.

Oblomov18 · 13/02/2018 09:34

ThunderCunt ?
Like, is that the new, ultimate title? Ultimate praise? Above MN Royalty?
Wink

spiderlight · 13/02/2018 09:35

Your dog is gorgeous!

Pagwatch · 13/02/2018 09:46

Ah wolfiefan
I'm sorry you are feeling crap but you re getting lots of support so chin up and all that

I think the trouble with mumsnet is that if you post regularly, especially on a specific topic it's easy to become a bit of a dick without intending to, wanting to or even realising you are.

I posted a thread bout my new puppies and you were imediately aggressive and really unpleasant. You assumed that I didn't know what I was talking about and, had I not known that posters can be like that for no good reason, had I genuinely been a new dog owner, it could have been really upsetting.
You persisted repeatedly and then started to frame yourself as a victim.

Interestingly you then jumped on something harmless I posted on another thread and gave it a ridiculous and presposterously negative twist . So you seemed to hold a grudge that I had argued with you.

Those things are not healthy - however driven they maybe by the desire to protect dogs.

It will be interesting to see if you can add a little introspection to your view of this situation because I genuinely think that your desire to post and support is there but you seem oblivious to the fact that lashing out because you think your are right isn't a helpful or supportive instinct.

If I had been a new poster I could have been really upset when you were totally wrong in all your assumptions and then grudging and lacking any grace when it became evident you were just being unpleasant

Oblomov18 · 13/02/2018 10:42

What Pag says is true. You must be aware of that. She and I (and others) have been around for donkey's years, so not much phases us now, but If I was a new poster, or someone mentally delicate, instead of being an old gimmer, who has seen a lot on Mn over my time on MN in the last 15 years, we could have been extremely upset by your posting style.

You need to consider that.

Didn't see the thread Wolfie. But whenever I see you posting I know you'll be offering sound advice or support. I've never seen you be off or rude. A good all rounder.

And you have the most beautiful dog. Smile
