For being bitterly disappointed at the language and attitudes of people on MN lately?

I started using MN for support when I was going through hard times, hopefully supporting people when they were going through their hard times, learn new things, catch up with news etc. Lately however every thread I go on seems to be one big fight session. People are either being purposefully nasty or having a go at anyone who disagrees with their opinion - foul language included in the bundle. Is this really what this site is turning in to? Surely everyone is entitled to an opinion and surely if you don't agree and can't be mature about you should follow my mother's advice 'if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all'.

nightynight - so agree with your statement 'I am truly astonished that an adult person can think it is OK for a group to laugh at an individual if that individual makes it clear that they feel hurt'

But I have to say, in fairness, that it is not madamez I have seen do this. I have seen it done from time to time, but (on the threads I read) not by madamez.

One of the things I despise is the lack of people who do not want 'text speak'.

Lots of people who have access to a PC only have their mobie phones as such. I do not think that text speak as such should be banned. Imagine if it was your daughter???? Lots of us who began with Mumsnet were only just having our children. In fact, some were about to have teenagers as we speak.

Just imagine if your 14 year old daughter came on here and was called a troll because she txt spoke.
