Absolutely don't want the threads here to turn into some form of anonymous Facebook type feed. If I see 'just live your best life' here then I'm off!

Bye then.

SilverySurfer · 31/08/2019 18:50

Oh fuck. Man the barricades!

NoSauce · 31/08/2019 19:25

inmyfeelings you want to read that “live your best life” stuff?

Bouffalant · 31/08/2019 19:36

I sense a few ex-huns on this thread.

I had noticed a lot more xxx !!! 😍🙈 recently, I just couldn't put my finger on why...

What on earth do you mean that the Goths will be along soon?

The whole site is riddled with ageing Goths, punks and metalheads.

They're the ones swearing their fucking heads off and spelling the cunting words correctly.

Big blocks of text are the fault of fucking Android phones using the app, though.

This post is perfectly spaced as I see it, but it'll transform into something resembling a sixth form stream of consciousness, as per Dubliners or Wide Sargasso Sea as soon as I hit the sodding Post icon.

I'd go back to posting like a coherent and relatively articulate human being if I could, but the bastard laptop died a fortnight ago and I'll be buggered if I'm banging out money on a replacement whilst my oven has two temperatures - OFF and HOTTER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN - and the microwave looks like it's getting ready to detonate.

I'm like this with all the shit on this thread defending the huns behaviour. They set women back about 30 odd years.

Well to answer your question, I personally find it a little inconceivable that users here feel threatened by a particular vein of colloquial speech and texting language. So threatened that they feel they need to potentially leave a forum that has space to discuss feminist activism amongst academics and laywomen, a commendable style and beauty section & an infant feeding that has saved my sanity on more than one occasion as well as perhaps that of thousands of global mothers . Mumsnet is a big place and the 'stuff' that doesn't particularly appeal to me I ignore and look elsewhere . I certainly don't start threatening to leave or think it's acceptable to sneer at. What I might be guilty of sneering at though, is the fucking idiocy of this thread . I think it should be moved to flouncer's corner .

And I think posting pictures of toddlers to capture a particular mood sets conversation back and is such a 'Hunsy thing to do. It's so post millennial 🙄

NoSauce · 31/08/2019 20:01

inmyfeelings paragraphs babe! Plz.

inmyfeelings · 31/08/2019 20:08

Nosauce, I'll do the unnecessary paragraphing if you learn to type in full sentences using capital letters.

LaMarschallin · 31/08/2019 20:10

I've not been here long but I have noticed a tendency in myself recently to get a bit more sarcastic towards some more, imo, vacuous posts (I got deleted 3 times for, what I thought was pretty mild sarcasm while there was a shitstorm of a multi-reported thread raging elsewhere. So I'm trying to be a better person).

I do think that, just because we can swear here, we don't have to. So all the "Fuck off, fuck off some more and do one" posts make me yawn. Tbf, I don't know what "do one" means.
But I would call a cunt a present Prime Minister.

NoSauce · 31/08/2019 20:10

I Copy and pasted your name hence no capital.

Why do you think paragraphs are unnecessary? How odd.

Historydweeb · 31/08/2019 20:11

@eddiemairswife LOL!!!!!

inmyfeelings · 31/08/2019 20:17

Nosauce are you always this tedious? I had two paragraphs in my post which was sufficient. I don't leave line spaces. In the meanwhile, I'd keep working on placing capital letters correctly and the sentences. Posts like this (nitpicking and facetious mimicking) that serve absolutely no purpose but to ignite an argument are a lot more annoying than the occasional 'hun'.

NoSauce · 31/08/2019 20:21

Sorry hit a nerve, I know. My awareness of capital letters is fine, like I’ve just said I copy and pasted your name, which doesn’t start with one for some reason.

NoSauce · 31/08/2019 20:23

And if it were the occasional hun I doubt anyone would care.

JacquesHammer · 31/08/2019 20:25

NoSauce

Oh come on, if you’re going to pull posters up on their grammar, at least ensure your posts are correct...

NoSauce · 31/08/2019 20:27

I just asked for a paragraph ffs.

Amortentia · 31/08/2019 20:27

Oh dear. With the Glasgow sectarian ruckus fresh in my mind, I thought this was about something quite different

Lol. I thought the same, 😂

FenellaMaxwell · 31/08/2019 20:28

U OK hun? Grin

Amortentia · 31/08/2019 20:28

So how do we fight off the Huns?

You weren't in Govan last night by any chance??

Anerak · 31/08/2019 20:29

I have noticed. The antenatal groups are a totally different group of people, lots of 'hehe xx', 'hun', slang spelling, etc. I'm withdrawing a bit from the site as it's not my crowd anymore. Can anyone recommend anywhere better?

Bouffalant · 31/08/2019 20:30

I don't feel remotely threatened. I just find it highly fucking annoying.
