To wonder what MN posters are like in real life...

[WillowPeach]

I can’t help but see so many posters put others down to make themselves feel better. I had it harder, I’m better than you blah blah blah.

Are these people actually this vile in real life or is it all a keyboard warrior act?

Actually lipstickhandbagcoffee.. You have had complaints before about your unnecessary garbled gobbledygook. So...they ain't the only ones who think you talk out of your hmmmmf

I do not think my posts are bombastic or confusing

They can be. Of course it’s hard to tell on MN whether that’s because of the device you’re posting from but some of your posts are garbled, formatted oddly and don’t make sense.

"I am what I am"

Sing it loud

enough emojis?

Oh yes luffs the emojis,they’re so,umm,deep
Why waste words when there’s an emoji

Exactly!! Hooray!! You've lightened up!!! Well done you!! Wooohoooooo!!

Yay you’re an effervescent cheerleader.Well done you!! Wooohoooooo!!
I’ll no be joining you but you can froth away on your own

I am in fact a bear in real life. I come on MN to practice the art of conversation without accidentally eating anyone.

Me and all the rest dear...me and all the rest...hear hear

I can’t let this little gem slide Lydia
Any chance you could stick to the topic of the thread lipstick rather than trying to treat it as a debating contest.?
Debate is the point of mn,views expressed and vociferously defended . That’s how it goes. Posters don’t usually acquiesce to another POV so not to make a fuss. They do debate, and vigorously maintain a stance. Women are allowed to debate,and it’s permissible to do so vigorously.

I'm pretty much the same here as I am IRL, mostly ok, occasionally a dick and I listen more than I speak. Have almost shoulder length hair, a degree, no tattoos and live in an actual council house. Am intelligent and actively feminist (but not a MN feminist so avoid FWR). Am working class and much poorer than most MNetters. Last night I cooked from scratch. Sausages and mash.

The arguments on here about debate, what is actually being debated? Because I’ve gone over and over the thread and for the life of me I haven’t a clue!

DioneTheDiabolist I like your posts, and also sausage and mash

I like the one small chicken feeds 18,makes risotto,soup,sandwiches and bone broth food threads

Is growing up in a council house a mn good or bad thing?a social marker
I grew up in a scheme
I like bangers & mash

It'd have to if thats all you can afford... You'd be surprised what I can do with a chicken!!

It's a house and a home. Council or not. I'm not so stuck up to say we were brought up in council housing. Hard working parents back in the day like.

Usually the elastic chicken threads are a boast as opposed to budgeting
Much like the what did you feed the kids today?oh just venison with shallots and creamy mash...

I find Mumsnet massively diverse. I do often think the Superior Parent ones eg Your child can't sit nicely in a restaurant at 3??! Mine could at 18 months are lying or in denial

I NC with frequency but I have built up a mental image of names I've come to recognise based on their posts

In some cases this is complimentary, others not so much

I think no one is as OPENLY judgy IRL as they can be on here for obvious reasons

Okaaaaaayyyy

Please!! Tell me what my name says about me then!!! This is fun....

I think I am a lot more opinionated and gobby on here than I am in real life.

In real life I'm as a timid as a mouse

As in RL I tend to notice the nicer people now

I used to think ‘whoa’ but I now ignore them
And see the niceness more !

The great joy of mn is the diverse range of opinions,the frankness,and no you rarely get it in RL
Problematic is that in absence of other social cue and nuances words can look stark or be misinterpreted

Medium length red hair, tattoos , nose piercing mum of 3. Full time carer for youngest. I'm a bit of a gobshite in real life as I can be on here ,but always prepared to help anyone if I can and offer a friendly shoulder to cry on if needed . Don't understand why some people turn into keyboard warriors....They usually turn out to be the ones who don't have a voice in real life,or at least the balls to be heard . Shame really
