To feel chuffed at having one of the worst rated comments on a DM article?

[tequilasunrises]

I know I shouldn’t read it let alone engage in the comments but I can’t help it sometimes, it’s like a morbid curiosity that gets the better of me

Anyway there was an article about climate change protesters today and all the comments seemed to be from climate change deniers so I posted in support of the protesters.

My comment is one of the most red arrowed and I’m chuffed! AIBU to think this means I must have been right?

Well done you! I believe you can get 'hated by the daily mail badges

You don't have to justify being a Daily Mail reader, it's the most popular newspaper on Mumsnet.

I don't know if it means you must have been right. I think we'd need more context.

Well done!

I once got lowest rated on a news story on the BBC Website

One of my favourite pastimes is the daily mail comments section

@22Giraffes mine too!

Good! I too like going onto the comments to wind them up. We shouldn't really though, as by clicking on the article we are encouraging the DM to write more of their stupid articles.

Ok I admit this is also a secret pastime of mine. I don’t actually troll (ie say something I don’t mean to get effect) I say what I believe, but generally in a way o know will get racist old farts steaming at the ears. Much fun. Well done op.

Well done, it can only be a good thing if DMers disagree with you

I think of the red arrows as little pitchforks

Easiest way to rile a Daily Mail reader is to talk sense.

I once got in the top 5 worst comments! Still makes me smile. I put it in when we have do those one of those awful office team building exercises 'things you dont know about me' type things. I leave workmates guessing but I was defending seagulls!

I have also had a worst rated comment! HAHAHAHA come at me with your red arrows, motherfuckers

I once had the Daily Mail write an article about my research (evolution). There were lots of highly rated comments wondering why there is any money spent on this research at all, my favourite being "don't listen to those monkeys in labcoats"

Wish I'd framed it

I used to be addicted to mail online even though it’s absolute trash. I’ve moved to msn.co.uk as mail online is so misogynistic and toxic I didn’t think it was doing me any good 😫

Keep up the good work.

The “monkeys in labcoats” comment is brilliant. I would have been well chuffed if that had been about me (though it doesn’t really work with my field of research!)

You have successfully signalled your virtue for the day! Well done!

I wrote a comment the other day on a trans based article that was one of the best rated. A lot of people on MN would've agreed with what I said.

DM readers aren't all one group who think in entirely the same way.

If I ever want to read the DM comments I click “worst rated” as they are usually the least toxic

I wrote a comment the other day on a trans based article that was one of the best rated. A lot of people on MN would've agreed with what I said

But a lot of people on the far right dislike trans & gay people. That’s not news. It’s not because they care about women’s safety/spaces, they just dislike LGBT people in general.

I am not at all surprised that the majority opinion of Daily Mail readers and Mumsnet users on trans issues overlaps.

It's true that reading the dm comments is bad for your mental health.. It sometimes makes me feel depressed at how nasty people are. Need to wean myself off it!

I think I was positive about the Muslim community. Always guaranteed to get red comments.

Mentioned the flaws in Brexit. Red comments.

Positive about Germany...in the context of a WW2 article. Get people frothing at the mouth.

Oh brilliant!! I’d consider that a real achievement.

I hate the DM but my mum reads it. She told me about, so I looked, an article on Nora Quoirin. Even thinking about beer gets me choked up. Comments something like ‘that poor poor girl, may she rest in peace’, or ‘how heartbreaking for her parents’, were red arrowed hundreds of times! WTF is wrong with people!

Not beer!! **her
